Background music not working

[4everJang]

Hi all,

This might be a total newbie mistake or a setting I cannot find, but the audio I am putting into my animation is not coming out with the rendered materials. Also it is not there when previewing the scenes. I created a new layer, selecting "Audio" as its type and imported the file from my iTunes library. It does show up in the timeline but no sound whatsoever. I checked the audio level which is at 1 - supposedly that is 100%. Is there a restriction on the audio formats that can be imported?

What am I missing here? I have no time to read 100s of messages on creating your own sound or figuring out where the settings are discussed in the help materials or tutorials. I need to have this animation finished before my son's wedding 1 week from now. So any help will be greatly appreciated.

(ASP11) Audio levels go up to 1000. (1 is "don't change the level from that in the file") It's animatable.

yes there are format restrictions: MP3, M4A, WAV, AIFF

Have you moved the camera? if this is background audio, uncheck "spatial positioning" in the Audio tab in Layer Settings.

if that doesn't help, just say.

Thanks, I will try one of the other formats you mentioned. Of course, after the wedding, I will publish the animation on YouTube and post a link on this forum. Give all of you a chance to shoot at it.

Ciao
