Audio in Final Cut Sequence wont track to display 23.98 fps

The playhead and autio track aren't matching up in my Final Cut (v7.0.3) Sequence.
So if I scrub or set volume the track will play back randomly out of sync.
The footage was shot on the new Alexa and converted to Apple ProRess 422 HQ 1920 x 1080 23.98 fps
This will be prepped as a broadcast spot. Are there any special considerations to keep in mind when editing with "24" fps? I almost always work in "30".

The clip stops playing before the end in the viewer (even though the timeline in the viewer says 30 seconds). It plays all they way through to 30 seconds in Quicktime
Format:
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
Aif file 30 seconds long
Audio Settings:
Rate: 48kHZ
Depth: 24 bit
Config: Channel Grouped

Can I mute all audio from Final Cut Pro X?

Can I mute all audio from Final Cut Pro X so that I can listen to music while I do sorting, keywording, favoriting, etc? I'm doing a video where all the camera audio won't be used anyways, so I don't need to hear it in FCPX.. I'd rather just listen to my music instead. Thanks.

For clips in the timeline, andynick's suggestion works fine - temporarily disable the audio roles will play everything without audio and you just have to reenable these roles later.
For clips in the Event Browser, you can also disable and reenable audio for a bunch of clips all at once. Select the all the clips you want, open the inspector, click the audio tab and uncheck the box (for "stereo" or "mono" or whatnot) under "Channel Configuration". Again, to reenable just check this box again.

Best way to adjust audio on Final Cut Pro 5 Quicktime Export?? Render files

What is the best way to adjust audio on Final Cut Pro, Quicktime self-contained export? Please note all render files and orginals master clip are gone. So adjustments will need somehow be made to the exported Quicktime file.
As always thanks in advance for your reading and replying to my post,
Sebastian

Export the aiff file out of QT Pro, and import it into SoundTrack. Sweeten there

Final cut pro wont open after installing universal upgrage

my Final cut pro wont open after installing universal upgrage, I installed just the FCP 5 from the universal disc i got from apple now it wont open goes almost all the way then simply quits without explanation
I am afraid to instal the other apps for fear I would lose everything

Download and run FCP Rescue. It fixes a lot of things.

In the past when I have imported my dslr video/audio files and then my zoom audio files Final Cut Pro has organized them in pairs in my library. For some reason my video/audio and my audio are being organized seperately. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Thank you Russ! Seems as though the timestamp on my audio files was completely incorrect so it placed the files far away from the corresponding video. I've modified the timestamp information and this has helped. The hour/minute information is incorrect but at least now I'm in the ballpark. Thank you!

After Effects Output Setting for a Final Cut Sequence

Okay my final cut sequence in DV/DVCPRO NT 720x480. My After Effects composition is 720 x 480. When I render the After Effects is comes into the timeline 4x3. Help out there on what I'm doing wrong? User error for sure!

Look in the Browser..or bin. Scroll to the left...look at the columns. Note that one says ANAMORPHIC. put a check in that column.
BUT...did you do your graphic as anamorphic in AE? How can you make a 720x480 16:9 without it being anamorphic.

Mixing 5.1 audio in final cut pro

Hello,
Looking for good sources on mixing 5.1 audio in final cut pro.
Thanks,
joe

You don't. You use Soundtrack Pro for this. FCP is a picture editor...not sound editor. You need to use a sound editor to mix 5.1 audio.
Look in the manual...best place to start.

How to encode Final Cut Sequences as MPEG-2 for DVD Pro

I am using Final Cut Studio (non-Universal version)
I am wanting to encode a Final Cut sequence
as an MPEG-2 for DVD Studio Pro 4
I don't want to render the Sequence, I merely
want to select the Entire Sequence and encode
it as an MPEG-2 wherein I can adjust the settings
custom-style
How do I do this?
thanks

QuickTime MPEG-2 is no longer included in new installs.
Read Apple's info doc.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301871
Because of the superior capabilities of Compressor, the QuickTime MPEG-2 encoder is superfluous and is not included with new installations of DVD Studio Pro 4 or Final Cut Studio.

The Final Cut to Sound Track Work Cycle

Grettings. I was wondering if someone (briefly) would be willing to explain a work cycle through taking a scenes audio into soundtrack, doing something like dubbing, and then getting it back into final cut.
I've watched the video, and read the manual, but there is still one part I'm confused about. Once I exported my video sequences to soundtrack (as a multitrack project) I was able to do our dubbing in soundtrack quite effectivley. However, now I'm not sure what the best way to get the final audio back into final cut is.
One question I have is this: when I exported the sequence to soundtrack pro from final cut, I ended up with a copy of the exported sequenc. Do the changes I make in soundtrack pro update with final cut at all, and if so, is it to the "copied" sequence, or the original sequence? Is this "copied" sequnce the the version I should be using for the master cut of the film? If I make a change to the original sequnce or the "copied" sequnce in final cut, does it appeare in the soundtrack project file? Please help!
In the end, I just need to get the already dubbed audio out of soundtrack pro, and into the sequnce in final cut, and I need to be able to repeat the process for the rest of the dubbing. (Getting it from final cut, to soundtrack, and back)
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks so much guys.

Hi -
Was there a lot of editing on the nested sequences in the master sequences? Are you on good terms with the sound mixer?
If not a lot of edits in the nested portions, and you are on good terms with the sound mixer: you can use the "manure runs downhill" theory of post production by passing the problem on to the sound guy -
OMF export the master sequence.
OFM export all the individual sub-sequences.
Let the sound guy sync them up in ProTools. He'll use the master sequence tracks and then switch to the synced subsequence tracks for purpose of the mix. The master sequence will serve as a sync check at those points.

Itunes, Imovie, Final Cut ALL WONT OPEN

So i have recently deleted my quicktime, and then I tried to re-install.
When i tried to re-install, It told me that quicktime was already on my computer so i went and searched for allll quicktime components i could find and trashed them, thinking i could completely remove it that way and then re-install.
Now, my ITUNES, my IMOVIE and my FINAL CUT, well basically anything that uses video or audio wont open at all. It says it quit unexpectedly but it doesnt open in the first place.
I SOMEHOW managed to install quicktime 7 but it wont open either. I guess i deleted something important, I just wish i knew what it was so i could try and restore it.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
I need these applications for school, etc. HELP
(Time Machine NOT set up)

You now need to reinstall your entire operating system from the original install disks.
You will also have to reinstall all Apple applications that install "add-on" QT components, as well as, any third-party components you may require. Depending on your specific method of re-installation, you may also have to purge PLIST files as well. If you really messed with the QT structure imbedded in the OS rather than simply deleting player apps and components that support the imbedded structure externally, I personally would back up all projects and data files I wanted to keep and then wipe and test the hard drive before performing a complete "clean" install. And, even if you only deleted the superficial apps and suppornt components, you will likely have to re-install the packages that would replace everything you've removed and stil may have to purge the PLIST files to get the replaced apps to open properly. Even then, you may come across some broken links to certain components owing to some apparent inconsistancies the in installation/re-installation and software upgrade work flow. (E.g., you may end up with the wrong or a non-functioning iMovie '08/'09 "AppleMPEG2Codec.component" being installed.) In short, as Klaus1 indicated, you may have opend a real "can of worms" from which it may be difficult to extricate yourself.

HT4589 Final Cut Pro wont launch anymore

I updated to the latest version of Final Cut Pro and now it wont launch. the window comes up and all I get is a spinning colourful wheel as a cursor and no way to operate the software.

Could be a problem within one or more of your Events or Projects.
Move your Events and Projects to new (temporary) folders so that FCP X doesn't find them on launch.
If it launches OK, then quit the app and move the Projects back one by one (re-launching each time). The media will be offline (red clips) but if it launches OK, quit again, and move the Events back one by one - re-launching each time you move an Event.
This should isolate the offending Event - you can then use a similar technique to track down the individual file.

Major Problem with audio from Final Cut to DVd Studio Pro

I am posting this problem again because no further responses have been received regarding my first post. I purchased an MR-HD100 Firestore device from Focus Enhancements. When I use clips from it alone or with other clips created by digitizing from min DV tape on a sequence or timeline the audio works fine in Final Cut. When I import any type of file and believe me I have been trying all kinds of suggestions and wasting almost a dozen DVDs. Whether it be a Final Cut QT file, going straight to compressor and producing an MPEG-2 file and a dolby audio file .ac3 importing them into DVD SP and making the adjustments that MR. Harbsmeier suggested DIAL NORM at -31dbfs and COMPRESSION MODE to NONE, as well as the suggestion to make an aif file with the audio and importing it into DVD SP as well as the video. I get the same result with every try, the clips made with the firestore are so low you cannot hear them. NOTHING WORKS!!!!. And yes I have tried making a DVD with just digitized footage and yes it turned out fine. I called Apple support today and that gentlemen basically told me I am out of warranty so phone help was not available. However, he made a suggestion of changing sequence presets in Final Cut which has now developed into another problem. I have messed up my settings so bad I don't know where I am I can't LOG & CAPTURE in the manner I used to ???? Could someone please advise as to why this problem exists and the correction to resolve it. I do not understand why the audio works fine playing the sequence on the timeline in Final Cut. It plays fine after making a Final Cut QT file. AND it plays fine in simulation mode in DVD Studio Pro. However after you burn a DVD the audio from the firestore clips are not to be heard unless you crank up the speakers or TV to it's maximum level and you can barely make it out. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME Projects are stacking up and was really hoping to go tapeless

Try building the project to your desktop and then open the Video_TS in the Mac DVD player application.
How does it play/sound? This application is the best way to see and hear how your burned DVD should play vs. just using simulator and burning.
Just to clarify- are you taking your FC QT file into Compressor and creating a MPG-2 and AC3 file or are you bringing your FC QT directly into DSP?
What codec are you exporting from FC? ProRes422, DV, H264?
Open the FC QT in QT and apple+I to see this.
What does it say for audio?

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...

M4p format audio in Final Cut Pro HD

Today I was trying to import some audio from my iTunes library. The song was one I purchased on on the Music Store, so the file's format was m4p. When I imported and rendered it, it was going fine, but during playback, I didn't get any sound from it. So do m4p files not work on Final Cut or am I doing something wrong?

Tanner
iTunes Music Store stuff won't go direct to FCE. FCE likes aiff files that match your sequence setting, 32 or 48kHz.
I believe if your open one in iMvoie and share (export) it from there as an aiff, you're in there with a chance.

Audio Levels Final Cut Pro Express

I have the latest ver of Final Cut Pro Express. The audio on the time line shows just a straight line indicating the audio level. I would like to see the actual audio waveform on the time line. I went into the preferences menu and checked the box that read "show waveform on timeline", but that didn't correct the problem. I still have a straight line audio level. Any ideas anyone?

Cmd is the Command key, the Apple key. It works if there is audio in the timeline that has a waveform, if the timeline is the active window, and if you wait a moment for the waveform to be drawn. You can also do it with the little popup triangle in the lower left of the timeline window near the track height buttons.
