Problems importing sound (.wav/ .asnd)

[James Brannan]

Hi, I'm creating a smalll movie for a friend and need a voice over for it. I recorded using Soundbooth assuming it would be the easiest way.

The problem is that, although I have managed to import .wavs that others have sent me, it won't import the one I recorded on Soundbooth ("...because there were problems reading them.")

I tried using .asnd instead thinking it might fit more smoothly with Flash (CS5 by the way). It imports the file, but the voice is far lower/ slower than in Soundbooth.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but unfortunately I'm kind of new to this...

Thanks in advance for any help,
James

I had the same issue and after an hour on the phone with Adobe they solved the problem. The short version is that a Flash registry key got currupted. Here was the solution they gave me:

If you are running Flash CS5 :
Close Flash.
Go to Start -> Run…
Type regedit and click OK
In Registry Editor, right-click on “My Computer/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Adobe/Flash11” registry key and delete it.

The Flash 11 key will be recreated when you re-open Flash.

Here is the article number if you want to look it up on Adobe's site or if you don't have CS5: #CPSID_52048.

Hope this helps you too.
