I’ll step through the general process of creating SmartSound Clips and you tell me when you are doing something differently, or when I have something wrong. Predicated on John’s experience with SmartSound and CS4, maybe we need to review a bit, just to make sure there’s not something going on, that is totally different.

As has been pointed out, QuickTracks now comes bundled within PE7, so Adobe and SmartSound are working together. I wish that I could be more helpful in this matter. I was unaware that CS3 & CS4 had changed anything in the Audio handling scheme, from PP2. I'm also frustrated that I can't help test for the problem, as I do not have CS4 and all works perfectly (after that one update) in PP2. I'm really curious about this problem, as I DO sing the praises of SmartSound quite a bit, and would hate to be leading people astray.

The PEK files, however are the waveform display files, but are usually created in the bat of an eye - about how long it takes your CS4 to evaporate. With most uses of SmartSound, the files are usually not THAT long in Duration, so the conforming can go pretty quick, but did you see a little blue progress bar in the lower right corner? Depending on which actual music cuts you use, many will already be 48KHz 16-bit, so conforming is not realy necessary. It seems that the PEK and CFA files are not being created in CS4.
