Blackmagic Forum

A minor bug but I thought I'd post it in case anyone else hits it.

If you are saving a quicktime or avi file with audio included in the saver node adding a timestretcher node will disable the audio from being included in the output file.

Attached a comp file and wav audio file to demonstrate.

If you disable the timestretcher you get audio in the output qt. If it's enabled you don't.

I know the audio support in Fusion is shall we say "rudimentary" but this can be irritating.

Well I thought I'd attached the comp file but apparently "the extension comp is not allowed" which is amusing on a Fusion forum. Same for wav. Makes you wonder what is allowed.

So here's the simple comp as a text file - add any wav file in the loader.

Sorry, I meant "add any audio file in the saver", not loader. Long day.
