Hi everyone,I am experiencing a quite peculiar issue.I have an ordinary composition which has mp3 files alongside visuals. Audio layers don't have any effects applied to them. It supposed to be rendered properly, but when I try to render the comp:It is skipping some mp3 files and keeping them silent with Media Encoder 2018. (output is h264),It is rendering everything properly, all good, with built-in render queue with After Effects 2018, (but output is a huge lossless avi)It is rendering the sequence but giving strange hissing noises instead of correct mp3 sounds with Premiere 2018.It is rendering everything properly, including mp3 sounds, with Media Encoder 2017. (as h264) What could be the problem, any similar issues?Thank you

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing a quite peculiar issue.

I have an ordinary composition which has mp3 files alongside visuals. Audio layers don't have any effects applied to them. It supposed to be rendered properly, but when I try to render the comp:

It is skipping some mp3 files and keeping them silent with Media Encoder 2018. (output is h264),
It is rendering everything properly, all good, with built-in render queue with After Effects 2018, (but output is a huge lossless avi)
It is rendering the sequence but giving strange hissing noises instead of correct mp3 sounds with Premiere 2018.
It is rendering everything properly, including mp3 sounds, with Media Encoder 2017. (as h264)

What could be the problem, any similar issues?

Thank you

about the skipping...
... changing latency time to higher a number in preferences>audio hardware solved the sound from skipping

There is actually anything new that I can add to what Dave and Peru said. But I use some simple rules from ancient times when I was starting with editing, vfx and video and one of that was: always use lossless audio. Converting mp3 to wav take 30 seconds but with wav you can be almost 100% sure that you will not step on any audio issues that can (and will) occure with mp3 files.

And of course - let us know if converting to wave files helped your issues.

Try converting the mp3 files to wav before importing into After Effects.

I'll add to Peru Bob's advice -- NEVER use mp3's or any kind of compressed audio in any Adobe product except Audition, which you can use to convert compressed audio to lossless wav or aiff files. That's what you should use -- wav or aiff.
