5.1 surround audio into Final Cut Studio out to AVI file with 5.1 surround?

Someone wants to give me a 5.1 surround sound audio file for importing into my Final Cut Studio project, then I export my video (now with 5.1 surround) out to an AVI file with the 5.1 surround sound intact. How do I do this?
thanks

I also have this problem...
Purchased an HD TV show (Nip/Tuck) and selected the alternate audio track labeled "Surround Audio" and got that digital audio "NOISE".
Regular audio sounds fine - can play iTunes music and system sounds sound good, just can't select the alternate "Surround" audio track without getting the noise.
I'm on an "older" MacMini - Intel CoreDuo using the SPDIF optical output into a Pioneer 5.1 receiver set to the appropriate Optical input and "Dolby Digital". I attempted to change the audio input processing on the receiver...all of which have the noise described by others...
Would LOVE a solution to this problem...

  • Importing FCE4 projects into Final Cut Studio

    I have the opportunity to purchase Final Cut studio with motion 2 Live Type media 2 DVD Studio pro 4. Since I have projects created in FCE 4 would I be able to bring those projects into Final Cut Studio with out a problem?

    Well I am finding more and more info It is Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1 not the "older" version I though it was. Am I to assume the FCE Projects are not transferrable to Version 5.1?

  • Importing Footage DV/NTSC codec Hi Res into Final Cut Studio

    A friend, computer wizard, figured out a way to capture dv footage hi res using a linux computer. (this enabled to captured 4 tapes at once). He used the DV/NTSC codec and we checked that all the settings matched final cut's settings.
    The files play back in QT perfectly and QT identifies the codec as the same as FCStudios.
    However, when importing these files into FC Studio, 2 oddities occur:
    1. The files require rendering
    2. Media manager is unable to recompress file to low res
    any advice (besides capturing it all over using FC Studio)?
    Thanks!

    Hi-res?? DV NTSC is 720x480 with DV compression applied, period. There is no such thing as "hi-res" DV video.
    If you have captured video at a high-definition frame size, with DV compression, then you have created some bizarre franken-codec, which may bear some similarities to DVCPRO 100, but is neither DV nor HD, nor anything that could be native to FCP, even if Quicktime is able to open or play it back.
    If you are able to at least import to FCP, you are halfway there. chances are you are close. However, if the footage is not native, and you can't tweak the sequence settings to match your video, there is nothing you could do other than
    1. fix whatever is wrong with the codec as it was captured, and recapture everything
    2. re-export all the media to DV NTSC using FCPs batch export, or Compressor's Advanced Format Conversion
    3. go ahead and edit with the non-native media and render, render, render.
    Tell us what kind of info you see in the Movie Info window in QT Player. Capture a clip as DV NTSC with FCP and open the source file in QT Player and compare the movie info windows, you might be able to figure out what the difference is. I'm very curious about capturing 4 tapes at once on a single system.
    Also, why would you be using Media Manager to down-res the clips?
    This sounds very interesting, if a little confusing...

  • How to Install Alpha Transitions into Final Cut Studio?

    I downloaded the Alpha Transitions and now have a folder on the desktop named Alpha Transitions that has sub-folders. How do I install them in Final Cut Studio? I couldn't find any instructions.
    Thanks for your help.

    Since the transitions are just media, I keep them with the rest of my media used for editing; in a folder on my media drive.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and New Macbooks with Nvidia graphics

    Do the new Macbooks announced today (10/14/2008) meet the minimum system requirements for running Final Cut Studio 2?

    Lecturing? Really? Not hardly, but I'll answer your query as succinctly as possible.
    Will the new Macbook run Final Cut Studio 2? I will wager that FCP will operate, DVD SP will operate and Soundtrack Pro will operate. I highly doubt Color will operate and am not sure about Motion due to the graphics card.
    That should answer your question. To "lecture" some more, where will you have media stored and how will you get media, any sort of media into these applications?
    As far as graphics and video are concerned, that distinction has been met above. I'm sure the Macbook will operate Photoshop with no problem.
    But again, why not check the minimum tech specs for yourself?

  • FINAL CUT STUDIO 5.1 (Universal) compatibility with Mac os 10.6.4

    We have just purchased a brand-new Mac Pro running Mac OS 10.6.4 my question is this, are there any known incompatibilities with Final Cut Studio 5.1 (Universal) running on a Mac Pro with Mac os 10.6.4.

    Try the Firewire Basic setting.
    Also, your camera should be powered on and connected before the mac is turned on. Then, when you fire up the mac and launch FCP, close any projects that open with it.
    Then, choose your Easy Setup before you open a new porject to capture into. Then it should work.

  • Final Cut sometimes creates a 2nd file with a "-v" suffix when capturing

    Hi
    When I capture from dvcam tapes in Final Cut Pro 5, the capture file is sometimes splitted into two files, the first one with the specified name and the second one, much smaller, with the specified name plus "-v" appended as a suffix. If I delete the second file, the first file may or may not be still readable. I don't know why it appends: I've searched in the FC manual and in several forums, but haven't found anything...
    My questions are: What is the purpose of this second file? Under which circumstances is it created?
    Thanks
    -Jerome

    Maybe I'll have to be more precise... This is not an issue for me, I can deal with those files: I don't even have to include the second file in my project in order to make it work without complaints, but I have to consider referencing this file in a CMS, so assumptions about what the file is for are not enough. I need to have a clear definition for this file. If someone could tell me whether this situation is avoidable wouldn't hurt (and would be appreciated), but I already have to deal with thousands of video files, ~1% of them splitted as I explained above.

  • Every video put into Final Cut Pro exports in horrible quality regardless of format/settings.

    Hello fellow Mac enthusiasts,
    I'm having a problem which may or may not have been plaguing my studio since day one. Every video that we edit in Final Cut Pro exports in MUCH lower quality than it was when it was imported, not only that, the file size of the newly exported video is several times the size of the original. What I end up getting is a file too large for our clients to email around. We recently had a client come into our studio with a flash drive full of 15 second avi's no larger than 900 KB, he wanted a few of them edited together with simple cross fade transitions, and even a few seconds of dead space cut out. He needed them to be the highest quality possible for a powerpoint presentation he may now be unable to give. At first I exported them as Uncompressed avi's, best quality, thousands of colors, and no sound. The resulting file was not only blurrier, but now 260.5 MB!! And that one was with zero edits! The original was 803 KB and crystal clear. So after that I decided to try a few tests. We also produce a bi-weekly hour-long local television show, which looks fine on television but now I'm wondering how much better it could and should look. I've been exporting that out as a Quicktime, Apple ProRes 442 HQ, Interlaced bottom-field-first, zero filters, both compressor native and NTSC 720 X 480. I attempted this method on the client's original 803 KB with zero edits and not only did it export a completely unusable video compared to the original, but it was now 57.1 MB. What is going on here? Is Final Cut conspiring against me? I'm guessing it's something in my settings which I'll shamefully admit I know absolutely nothing about. Could anyone help a struggling video editor do his job?
    Joey

    Hey guys sorry it took me song long to respond it's been a busy week filled with many things not relating to final cut...
    In response to David's post, the original file is indeed larger than 720X480, though it's dimensions are not available to see in the 'more info' associated with the file itself. By comparison, the apple pro res LT file I exported through final cut of the same avi file is 720X480, and looks significantly worse.
    [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/87/screenshotofavis.png/][IMG]http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/5421/screenshotofavis.png[/IMG][/URL]
    This was after I created a new project, made the sequence settings into Apple ProRes lt 30p under the audio/video settings in Final Cut, and exported it as the same with 'current' dimensions (it was listed as 850X637, maybe that was the original?) Although I did have to render the original avi itself once it was placed in the timeline. I guess there's no way to know exactly what sort of avi my original file is so I can match my sequence to it? The 'more info' (to be fair im sort of used to 'properties') leaves something to be desired..
    I guess my question is: what else can I change in my settings to leave the quality of the video intact, if anything?
    Thanks everyone.

  • Importing AVI and ProRes422 into Final Cut X

    After finally thinking Final Cut X was ready, I upgraded only to discover a number of issues. Sony's Memory Recording Unit, which I've used to record .AVI videos imported these files directly into Final Cut Studio 7. This is not the case with Final Cut X.
    I used Compressor 3 to turn these AVI files to Apple ProRes422 and played the converted videos on QuickTime player -no problem. When I import these ProRes422 files into Final Cut X (10.0.4) the audio does not import.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Tom,
    I appreciate the thought that the audio is still compressed - maybe it is - I don't know. However, what I do know is this:
    1) Final Cut Studio 7 imported these AVI files directly and they worked without a problem.
    2) The .avi files are being generated using the Sony Memory Recording Unit - the recording unit used with Sony's professional line of camcorders (not your consumer camcorders).
    3) I used Apple's own Compressor 3 - using the DEFAULT settings for Apple ProRes 422 conversion and the converted product HAS AUDIO.
    4) Both the AVI and ProRes 422 mov files work in Quicktime Player - both audio and video
    - and -
    5) Final Cut X is supposed to be Apple's PROFESSIONAL replacement for the Professional Final Cut Studio 7.
    If this was iMovie and the codec for the audio or video wasn't included in the application, well, it's free and I would understand. But, in this case, this is an expensive, professional product and it should include ALL CODECS (with some very minor exceptions for very, very odd codecs). AVI is NOT a minor exception - especially being generated by one of the MAJOR Professional Video Camcorder companies - Sony.
    I'm hoping someone else has a better solution than converting, trying, failing, oh well....  NOT ACCEPTABLE!
    Fix the product - include the Codec's - make it work! 
    If it works in Quicktime, it should, absolutely work in Final Cut X or any other professional video product that Apple produces. Simple.
    Anyone else with an answer?

  • Mac Pro and Final Cut Studio 5.1.2

    I've had problems trying to export mpeg files from final cut pro using compressor after having updated all applications to their current versions (FCP 5.1.2, Compressor 2.3, Qmaster 2.3, QT 7.1.3...) including firmware, OS and security updates. Since I was kind of in the middle of a project I ended up reverting back to the original universal crossgrade of Final Cut Studio (FCP 5.1, Compressor 2.1, Qmaster 2.1...) in order to get the desired results of a muxed mpeg. Now, before I go back to trying to resolve this issue of updating the software, I would like to know if anyone is running Final Cut Studio on a Mac Pro with all updates current (5.1.2, 2.3...) and with the ability to export muxed mpeg streams - both audio and video in the same file. Also, I have posted more specific questions regarding these issues in the compressor and FCP forums but decided I needed to hear from some Mac Pro users who have had success with the Final Cut Studio updates. BTW, I have done all the updates of Final Cut Studio (5.1.2, 2.3...) on a G5 quad at work and have had no problems whatsoever. I'd just like to have everything up to date and functional. Other than trying to get this worked out, I have found my Mac Pro to be most excellent. Thanks in advance.

    Dave, thanks for your input. It would crash out during the compressor export and the failure reason would say 3x Crash Server Down in the compressor box. I haven't tried an mpeg-1 because all we broadcast are mpeg-2 program streams. Most of the stuff I export is no longer than 10 - 12 minute segments. If you could, try exporting as an mpeg-2 muxed. Some other possible factors - I had captured the original footage on a G5 quad at work, put them on an external drive and then loaded them onto the Mac Pro and imported them into the project. Could there be a difference between DV codecs of the PPC and the Intel processors? Now that I'm at a stopping point I'm planning on trying to do the update again. Just hoping to catch something I might have missed. If I were a total computer illiterate I would say user error, but I'm not.

  • Final Cut Express as Offline - Final Cut Studio 2 as Online?

    Is it possible to use FInal Cut Express for offline editing and then replace the media with HD versions for online editing in Final Cut Pro?
    Example of our proposed Workflow:
    1. Capture HDCam footage from CineAlta Camera into Final Cut Studio 2 at DVCProHD 1080i60.
    2. Use Media Manager to create a copy of the project while downconverting media to DV.
    3. Transfer project folder to other Mac running FC Express. Create FCE project file and create an edit using DV footage.
    (here's where I'm uncertain)
    4. Can FC Express export EDL's or in some way get that edit back into FC Pro, where I can relink back to the DVCProHD media?
    Thanks to anyone who can help with this.

    Well, I gained access to a computer running FCE 4 and created a test project. When I try to open in in FCP 6.0.1 I get a message stating that the file format is "too new" for this version of FCP.
    I guess I need to try FCE HD 3.5, but it will not run on any computer without an AGP graphics card.
    This shouldn't be this troublesome, should it?

  • Bring Motion project with sound into Final Cut

    Is it possible to bring a .motn file into Final Cut, and also bring the sound with it? Whenever I try this, only the motion image files are brought in.

    This thread was great had some very useful tips.....on the same sort of note is there a way to bring the audio from final cut into motion when you open the .motn file from final cut...... I am wondering this for sync purposes, so when i change the audio in final cut i dont have to render out an .aiff to sync to in motion.

  • Problems opening avi into Final Cut

    Hi I'm having a real problem importing some raw avi files into final cut 6 and even watching them with quicktime. The problem is, when I open them on my macbook (QT v 7.4.0) i see them fine but on my PowerPC G5 they say 'codec not supported'. I had QT 7.4.1 on the powerPC machine and assumed that was the problem so i followed the advice on these forums and downgraded to v 7.3.1 The problem is i still can't see anything! I then tried installing perian which hasn't helped. The funny thing is that in quicktime it says the format is 'dvsd' with a frame rate of 24.88 where as my macbook claims the format is 'dv' with a framerate of 25 which sounds a lot more likely to me. The installation on the macbook is pretty vanilla with standard leopard and final cut 6 so there is no fancy codecs on there opening the files. I have 34 50min episodes of this stuff and couldn't bare to sit watching my macbook spend the next month encoding it for DVD (i only need to use final cut to add a titles sequence). Any help would be much appreciated!

    I know, you are correct about using a PC but i don't have one with any decent editing/DVD software on. All i need to do is delete the title sequences on the video and add one I have created using motion. Plus, i have already created all the DVD menus using DVD studio and the idea of going to and from a PC to a MAC so much makes my head start to hurt.
    I think it's the fact that my macbook will open the files happily in final cut (with a little warning that 'the files are not optimised for final cut') but that my big mac won't is what i find really frustrating!
