Audition Markers to After Effects

Has anyone found a workflow that doesn't involve exporting to Premiere to make this work?

I'm simply making "cue markers" in Audition, labeling them, and then exporting a .wav to import into After Effects. Upon importing to AE, the markers are not there, despite having exporting my .wav with metadata and markers checked.

Any thoughts?

    Using AE and AUDITION CS6, the markers from AUDITION appear perfectly in AE, provided you saved your file "as", and the "keep markers" (I'm not quite sure of the translation, I use the French version) box is checked in the "save" dialog box.

    By the way, I had another kind of problem : when I saved the file as "wav", the sound did not play in AE. While in "aif", everything worked fine !

    This didn't work for me, nor did re-importing, nor did changing audio format. I had to right-click on the audio in the timeline and then select Markers > Update Markers From Source.

        For me named cue markers are are working from Audition to After Effects (version 15.1.2). It does seem you need to reimport the audio for it to work.

        Unfortunately none of the Markers used in Audition for audio files are the same as the markers used in video files and After Effects. So I don't believe that you can set and name markers in Audition that will show up in AE. Others may know of some means of converting one type into another and prove me wrong.
