Adobe After Effects Question

I'm using Adobe After Effects and have a quick question - how do you render
the video without losing audio? I can't seem to figure it out.. I could
technically render the video and hop back to Avid or Premiere to drop the
audio back on the timeline but the problem is that I'm using A.E. (and the
magic bullet plugin-demo version) to render my dv footage as 24P- premiere
has problems accepting the footage for some reason (and I don't own avid at
home - I could test it at school but I prefer to edit at home). Any
suggestions? Thanks!

 

24P is not a valid "video" format, so you would have to take that into
account
when setting up AE and Premiere. As for the audio, in the Render Queue
there is an output setting where you select your format details. At the
bottom is
where you setup for audio output. It is not available for all formats. Most
often
the audio in AE is not used except as a scratch track. The real audio is
usually
put into the timeline from the original source. AE has good audio
capabilities,
but the interface is not at all nice, so we usually don't bother with it.
There are
better ways to work on the audio.

I agree with the last answer. AE is not ment to handle audio at a professional
level. It is just for reference.

Make the movie and dump it on a timeline and then add the audio. See if you
can download some trial version of software like Premier. I would think at the
very least you would be able to dump a video and audio together and the
interface with AE would be seamless.
