Audio is fine in Final Cut Pro but too low in Soundtrack Pro.

ok here goes! I'm using STP to clean up audio, road noise, fan noise, little buzz, and so on. I have a problem; the play back audio is low, so it makes it hard to hear to clean it. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm using a G4 17 power book, with final cut studio. I have done all of the upgraded as far as I know. Anyone have any ideas. The volume is very loud on the time line. The problem is when I send the clip toSTP from FCP. I right click and the window opens and go to send to STP audio project it ask me save or rename the clip. The clip opens in STP, I hit the play button and the volume was fine in FCP is now too low to hear in STP. It seems to play well if I send it to STP mulititrack file project. However when I try to send the track to audio file project. the audio is so low that it unusable. Help

Hi Lorenzo,
I haven't encountered this problem, however it sounds to me as though the waveform editor is sensing that the incoming signal is too hot & is automatically pulling down the gain to compensate and overcompensating to the point where the audio is barely intelligible.
What I would suggest you try is:
Select All Command (Apple) A then
Shift Command L. This gives you a window that allows you to boost the level. As the signal is so low, try 100%. If the signal is still too low do the same again. The Adjust Amplitude Filters will appear in the Actions List to the left of the Waveform. This is a nondestructive process & each Adjust Amplitude can be toggled on/off by unchecking it so that you can do a before & after comparison.
All the best

No audio track anymore in final cut pro timeline

Hi everyone,
God I feel dumb but somehow i shut off audio tracks in my final cut pro. I can see the previous ones down that I laid. But if I try to bring anymore clips into the viewer and then slide them down to the time line there is no audio that comes with it anymore. What button do I click to allow audio to pull down with the video on to the timeline. Weird.

Make sure you have the audio tracks targeted by using the patch panel at the left of the Timeline. Also make sure that the tracks aren't locked.

Soundtrack Pro and Audio already altered in Final Cut

I'm just getting my feet wet with Soundtrack Pro. I have a project that was edited in Final Cut Pro, including keyframes to adjust audio levels in specific places in the audio tracks. When the project is sent to Soundtrack Pro, the changes that were made in Final Cut Pro seem to be ignored. Is there something I'm doing wrong here, or are audio alterations made in Final Cut Pro not passed on to Soundtrack Pro? I'm using Soundtrack Pro version 2.0.2 and Final Cut Pro version 6.0.5.

Working with final cut x (10.0.9) on macbook pro want to add compressor cannot download 4- where can I download 3

working with final cut x (10.0.9) on macbook pro want to add compressor cannot download 4… where can I download 3?

It has been available at some online retailers (Amazon) and EBay – but only as part of the discontinued Final Cut Studio suite. It would be cost--prohibitive to buy and there are other more cost-effective solutions. Depending on what you need to do, MPEG Streamclip might be a (free) solution. There are others – Episode, for example, which is not cheap at $500– but less than haf the cost of buying an used copy of FCS.
Another approach (and the one I would follow in your situation) would be to install Mavericks on an external, bootable drive. Run a copy of FCP 10.1 and Compressor 4.1 from that drive.
Good luck.

I have three Imacs running Final Cut X but only able to update to 10.0.7 on one of them. Everytime I try to update it ask for my apple ID which I submit...then get the same replay to enter my Apple Id have only been able to update one of them to latest

Easiest thing to do is put the app on the non updated computers in the trash and then copy the new app on to a flash drive and copy into the app folders on the other two computters.

Final Cut Express Edit = TOO BIG for iDVD - Why?

I am trying to import my 16:46 edited wedding video into iDVD, but it is far too big to fit on 1 DVD.
The edited version is 16:46 minutes [in Final Cut Express], but when I convert it to a quick time movie [to import to iDVD] it ends up being 14 GB and 271 minutes [and I have tried various conversion types]. I don't understand this?
THE ONL THING I THINK IT COULD BE IS:
I have a lot of "extra duration" in Final Cut Express that I did NOT cut off. Would that affect the size of my video?
If that is my problem...Is there an efficient way to get rid of all the extra duration?
Thanks...Keep Seeking and SMILING:O)

You mean you left 254 minutes of empty space at the end? Yeah, that would do it.
FCE doesn't know to cut off anything that you don't tell it to. If you have a lot of "dead" space, it's probably because you left a small clip somewhere at the end of all that space. Try going back to your sequence in FCE, positioning the playhead over your intended ending, tap "T" four times, and click. This should select everything after the playhead, which you can then delete.*
*this shortcut may be for FCP only, I'm not sure. Anyone?

Audio out of Sync - Final Cut Pro to Soundtrack and back

I have edited some talking head interviews in FCP 7.0.3
When I "Send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project" and then send back to Final Cut (by exporting an AIFF)
The audio is 9 frames shorter than the original audio. (The video is 06:29:12 long)
I have checked, and double, triple checked, and all audio is 48.0 KHz
Both timelines are Non-Drop Frame.
I have also tried the following when importing the XML back in to FCP
1. Leave Sequence Settings at "auto" with "Override with settings from XML" selected
2. Change Sequence Settings to "Apple ProRes 422 1920x1080 24fps" with "Override with settings from XML" de-selected.
I have looked and looked through forums and haven't found any real solutions, please help

Apparently, fcp can have a problem with imported audio files if the easy setup frame rate does not match your sequence frame rate.
I've seen this reported as well.
I actually created a new project, set up the "Easy Set Up" to match and ran into the same problem.
Initially the Music Tracks I used were a different audio rate (44.1 vs 48) but I converted those as well.
I'll have to chalk this up to user error, but I've truly been over this project with a fine-tooth comb so many times.
In general, it doesn't seem like there should be so much issue going from Final Cut to Soundtrack and back.
When I get some down time, I'm going to completely recreate this project from
scratch and see what happens.
Thank you so much for your time Michael.

Help serious Audio rendering issues within final cut pro

Hello
I have some serious audio issues I am using Final cut 6.05. Here is my problem I am putting a AUParametricEq filter on my audio due wind noise etc. Anyway when i play it back on the time line it plays fine no problems but as soon final cut renders the file say for mastering to tape. at some point at the audio the audio goes all haywire, popping sounds or the audio just repeats it self at one frame or i can here audio from other parts of the timeline. And it just happened before i never had the issue. Is it the update. Hope anybody can help as I need to master about 6 projects to tape to clean my harddrives and all 6 projects have the same issue.

Sending Audio Files back to Final Cut pro, nothing.

Simple issue:
I send from Final Cut Pro To Sound track pro some audio files along with the clip.
I edit it in Sound track Pro, and save (just like in the tutorial) then I quit.
I go back to Final Cut Pro and what do you know, the file that I sent HAS NOT BEEN EDITED!
Some one help.

I tried the same thing earlier in the year, and when the sound came back into FCP, it was corrupted!
Since then, I don't know if this is a good option, but it seems to work fine:
Once I have finished my editing in FCP, I export the soundtrack into an AIFF. I edit the AIFF via STP, and when finished, import it back into FCP.
I'm not experienced enough to know if this method is bad, but it has worked well for me!

HT4640 I have been developing a keynote presentation & want to play audio across several slides. Also want to insert movies made in final cut X but am finding I have to go to black and double click movie files before they appear. looks awful to do that.

I am new to Keynote and the newest version was just installed in my apps. I have found difficulty in using audio in a presentation since my presentation plays various audio clips over several slides or movie clips. My solution has been to create movies with my audio (.mov from final cut x) and insert into the presentation. They play in the presentation but I cannot get a smooth transition. The presntation must go to black and I have to double click for every "slide" that is done this way. I am on the verge of going back to powerpoint as my presentation platform. Seems there is little or no flixibility in keynote.

Exported File Opened in Quicktime looks bad, but looks fine in Final Cut

I'm working on a DV/NTSC sequence. Original footage captured from DV/NTSC, so there is no recompressing happening in the timeline. I've exported the sequence as a Quicktime Movie, using current settings, not recompressing all frames. I've also tried this exporting as a self contained movie, but get the same results.
Once the export is complete, I open the file in Quicktime, the quality is blurred and degraded compared to the canvas in Final Cut. I then open the same exact file in Final Cut and view it in the viewer, and the quality is perfect! I have no idea why this is happening. If I take my exported Quicktime file, and run it through Compressor to create different formats, they all produce the low quality, blurry results. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on how to get around this?
So far, the only fix I've found is to go into the sequence settings as select "None" for compressor instead of the default "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC" setting. The problem with this is that then the whole timeline has to be rendered. Once the rendering is complete, then I can export to Quicktime without any quality loss when viewing the file in the Quicktime Player.

From the menu bar:
*QuickTime Player* > Preferences > General > Use high-quality video settings when available.

Final Cut Studio 5 and the Original MacBook Pro compatable?

Please help a frustrated old pro. I bought a MacBook Pro when they first came out, had it configured with a Quartz Extreme video card and upgraded Final Cut Production Suite to Final Cut Studio. I use Digital Juice products too. I just cannot get anything to work right - it shuts down, hangs up, is super super unbelieveably slow.....I took it in the local Apple store and they told me everything was fine but it can't be. This is my 3rd Mac - I've always loved them but this one doesn't work at all. My LaCie drives are so slow with it as well. What would you suggest I do? Thank you for your response!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) Quartz Extreme Video Card

You Macbook Pro is Intel processor based. The first version of FCP 5, part of Final Cut Studio 1 was Power PC based up until version 5.1.1 when they went universal. If you're trying to install FCP5 version 5.0.4 or earlier it won't work at all on your Intel based Macbook Pro. You need to upgrade to FCP 5.1 or later, which means sending in your FCS discs to Apple and they'll send you back the universal versions which will work on both the Intel and Power PC based platforms. Hope this makes sense.
If you're using FCP 5.1.1 or later on your Macbook Pro but it's not working right then you need to provide more info about your system: Anything that will help to diagnose your problem. All things being equal, your Macbook Pro should certainly be able to run FCP 5.1.1 or later.
