Hit a consistent crash with this tool... I tried to load in a mp3 exported from Davinci Resolve that synced with a gif animation (also from Davinci). This audio worked before, but one day I tried and instead of playing the audio, it screeched and crashed the extension... It did this consistently, re exporting the audio still caused it to crash. The only way I could fix it was to make changes to the audio in Davinci (add SFX for example) and export it under a different name. I don't know why it hates that particular file; the file looks fine in every other software... LUCKILY I was streaming when I hit the crash: 

I started hitting the issue at about 20 minutes in. I can provide the problem audio file too if needed. Hope that helps!

Hello! Thanks a ton for posting this! I still can’t believe the extension dies the moment you recommend it (pretty funny, but BIG oops on my part, sorry), but I’ve done some testing and I think I’ve found the culprit.

I tried exporting a test audio with Davinci Resolve and this resulting file crashed AAE. I’m not too sure how or why this happens, since audio loading is handled by Godot (the engine/code framework that AAE is built with), but I did find a workaround.

Reencoding the audio, that is, converting it to a different format (wav for keeping the quality) and back to mp3 fixed the issue for me. I used a local tool I have, but I imagine any online tool should work just fine too.

I’ll look more into it, and I’m glad you also suggested some quality-of-life features like saving the path to the folder. Thanks again for providing such detailed info on your issue!

Thanks so much for looking into this! Interesting that reencoding it fixes the issue, but not reexporting the audio... I guess it's an issue with how DR encodes the audio on export? Anyway I will try that. Thanks so much! 

And always happy to promote a great tool :)
