FCP 48khz audio export to 44.1 protools session .  Sink issue?

Hey forum.
If i export a my project's sound as 48khz aiff, will i lose sync after import in a 44.1 protools session?
thanks.

Hmmm... I think you might. You could just try it out on a short section to see. By the way, why not use a 48 protools session to keep everything the same?

  • Quicktime export from FCP universal, audio export function

    Hey there, I just recently bought the 17 inch mac book pro and did the crossgrade swap to the latest version of FCP studio.
    Doing my first complete video edit and DVD project and am at the export stage.
    I am doing what I normally do on my dual 2.5 g5 and setting and IN point and an OUT point in FCP and exporting using quicktime.
    Just as the defaults, (I do this and have done this dozens and dozens of times)
    I do this, then I import that file (after FCP is done into compressor and go from there)
    we all know the export using compressor thing isnt ready for primetime..
    anyway, doing this and after the first dialgo box is done and it seems the whole thing is done...then a box comes up saying its exporting AUDIO and its going to take 4 hours!
    I didnt choose this extra step, the default quicktime export dealy (not "using quicktime conversion) had all this covered I thought...I mean, it has every other time on the OTHER computer)
    I canceled this and checked my resulting exported file (the quicktime one) and all the audio and video is intact..
    but the process I cancelled bothers me...any ideas?
    thanks so much

    No problem - we all find it hard to explain things clearly when we're frustrated by problems like this!
    Well that's strange - but at least it's clear what's happeneing now!
    I'm at a loss really but if it were me, I'd trash the preferences and repair permissions, then if that didn't work, I'd create a new project in FCP and transfer the clips over. Sometimes this can iron out strange bugs.
    Failing all, I'd create a new ID on my Mac and work from there - but if this works, then Jerry's advice regarding the clean install is a must, really.
    Another thing I'd try is exporting direct through Compressor - it's a wonderful tool and you really should get to know it. It would be worth using Compressor to export a QT movie to see whether it makes any difference.
    Is the full project on the G5 as well as the MBP?

  • Pops in FCP X audio export

    Hey all,
    I'm going nuts trying to export a 3-minute video without pops in the audio track.
    I read and played around with all the possible solutions regarding the stereo vs surround, dual mono vs reverse stereo vs stereo, 48k vs 44.1k, X264 vs H264, custom vs default compression settings, copy all stuff and paste it in a brand new event/project. None of this has worked so far for me.
    Has anyone found a way to export without pops?
    It's an mp4 720p video downloaded from YouTube which I put some titles (subtitles) on and am attempting to export. Plays fine in timeline, has pops and crackles in the same spots no matter what codecs or sound settings I use.
    Can't, for the love of me, get to export this thing without noise.
    A bone, anyone?
    Cheers,

    Hey Tom,
    The original video is:
    MPEG4
    1280x720
    H.264
    AAC
    2 audio channels
    I simply imported it into FCP, worked with it having no problems with the audio, and tried exporting it. I did this with many other files with the same characteristics, without any problem in the past.
    The project presently has these characteristics:
    1280x720
    29.97p
    Stereo audio
    48k (which used to be 44.1k, but changed attempting to eliminate the pops)
    Are there other specs you'd like me to report?
    Thanks,

  • Audio falls out of sync with FCP sequence after export from STP

    Hey all,
    editing sound on a short film. sent FCP sequence to sweeten the dialog and add effects, according to the timeline it is the same length as sequence length in
    FCP, but when exporting from STP to FCP to complete movie, the sound ends up being about 10 frames longer than the video and starts in sync and falls out of sync over the duration of the film.
    Have tried changing preference settings in STP, exported about 5 ways to breakfast and all have same result.
    Anyone have a solution to this problem?
    Much thanks,
    Holly

    I just experienced this same thing, and as Christof says, it had to do with 'Easy Setup' and 'all formats'. I've been editing a picture shot on RED in Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) at 2K (2048 x 1152) and 24fps...FCS 3 (FCP 7 latest version). Whenever you trash preferences or start up FCP new, you get the 'easy setup' menu. Previously, I could just hit 'okay' and go ahead into FCP and change the settings/resolutions within the project...even if the 'easy setup' default was, say, DV/NTSC 29.97. Also, when opening up an active project after trashing prefs, the project itself would still have the same editing/playback settings/resolutions, even if the 'easy setup' window had its default DV/NTSC setting. Plus, if you create a new timeline and its default is one format, once you drop a different format into it, it asks you if it should adjust to that format anyway, and of course, you say yes and everything is fine.
    Well....in this most recent FCP update, whenever I'd export an AIFF from the timeline and reimport....or if I'd just import an AIFF...it would do something to the playback rate of that newly imported/reimported sound file and suddenly its sync has drifted all over the place within just a minute or so. But strangely, it wouldn't do it to audio that's attached to picture (.mov/MP4/etc.)....only isolated audio files (AIFF/WAV). So naturally, I wondered if something was going on during the export process or the like.
    The solution is to make sure that when you open FCP (newly, or after trashing prefs), make sure you pick the settings/format/framerate in that 'Easy Setup' window that matches what you intend to edit as closely as possible. In my case, the format is Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), 2048 x 1152 @ 24fps, and I use a Blackmagic Multibridge so I have settings for it. Hence......*Format; HD, Frame Rate: 24, Use: Blackmagic HDTV 1080P 24 - 10 bit.* Whereas the default upon startup is....Format: (all formats), Frame Rate: 29.97, Use: DV/NTSC 48KHz.
    You can also set these in the 'Audio Video Settings' menu. Now, whenever I export and reimport an AIFF, or just import an AIFF (like the soundmix prepared by our sound designer), sync stays and there's no drift. So make sure you've picked the right settings when starting or reopening a project, again as Christof pointed out.

  • OMF export for Pyramix and ProTools not working correctly

    I am exporting OMF files of very simple timelines (30 second promos) for an audio guy based in another part of the country to do audio post.
    He is using Pyramix 7.1.10 and ProTools 9.1, while I'm outputting from Premiere 6.0.1
    The problem is that when he imports the .OMF (which is exported 24bit, trimmed audio, encapsulated files), one leg of the music track is always missing
    This happens the same in both ProTools and Pyramix
    Has anyone else had this happen?  Am I missing something? Is there a workaround?
    All help appreciated
    Thanks
    jON

    I am a post audio mixer working in ProTools, and I have the same issue, just a little more complicated.
    The editors I work with handle a variety of projects, most of which use sound shot with EFP cameras.  The audio recorded on these cameras is "stereo" in the sense that there are indeed 2 tracks as a single interleaved file, however, the content is dual mono, with the 2 tracks either being 2 lav mics, or a lav and the camera mic.
    Is there any way in Premiere that this can be put onto 2 mono tracks, that are then exported as mono tracks, rather than being doubled up in the ProTools session?  Adaptive tracks don't seem to work in this situation.  The editors have tried a variety of things, none of which seem to make a difference.
    Also, regarding stereo music ... that too has been exported to me as a mono file, even though it was supposedly put onto a stereo track in Premiere.
    Thanks for any insights.

  • H.264 for apple devices doesn't allow 48kHz audio!?

    I guess the bigger question is: What's the difference between using the *h.264 for apple devices* file format and *Quicktime movie* with compression set to h.264?
    Is there an actual difference in the algorithm? The documentation I've read claims that *h.264 for apple devices* is "low-complexity". Is this actually true? Is there any QT h.264 setting I can change to make it low-complexity?
    Here's why: I'm trying to make an iPhone/iPod compliant video podcast and using compressor. I'd like the audio to match the original 48kHz audio coming from my movie. If I go the *h.264 for apple* route, the only audio option I have is bit rate.
    This page...
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/whatson/podcasts/specs.html#formattingvideo
    ...claims that iPhone/iPod supports audio up to 48kHz and up to 160kbps, but I can't figure out how to create that with Compressor!
    Also, the *h.264 for apple* file format setting supposedly compresses the audio in the proper AAC-LC format. If I use *Quicktime movie* the only audio compression options that are close are AAC and AAC-LD.
    Thanks in advance for any help, guys!

    OK, so my original high-quality movie opens MPEG Streamclip no problem, so I think that means I can skip the QT6-compatible step, right?
    To clarify, that wasn't a series of steps. That was two separate solutions to the problem.
    I've been fishing around in the 'export' settings, but I can't seem to find a straightforward way to convert it to h.264 low-complexity. Export to Quicktime Movie, or Export to Other Formats (iPhone, iPod?)?
    I just went to Export QuickTime and iTunes reported it as Low-Complexity. I guess MPEG Streamclip exports all H.264s as low complexity because I couldn't see a specific option either.
    ...and I can't seem to find AAC-LC setting in MPEG Streamclip either.
    I selected MPEG-4 AAC in the audio options. As I say, this was accepted by iTunes and synced to the device.
    Hope this helps.

    the results i get a odd. - the video exports fine, except for the beginning titles, instead a still frame image from somewhere else in the video occupies that intro, until the first transition- in this case- dip to white, then the rest of the video is fine. the portion of the beginning  that does not show are composed of:  livetype text credits in V2 - in which i have done a manual opacity fade up and down - so the livetype text fades in, over matte color solid in V1. in the exported video -i do not see any of this, all i see is a seemingly random still from somewhere else in the video. i can however hear the audio as it is supposed be.
    cant figure out why this is happening. anybody know?
    i think the livetype files are 1920 x 1080.
    my FCP sequence is 720 p
    this has only recently started happening and doesn't seem to be consistent.
    im wondering if it has to do with the live type files, or the white solid?…
    or the conversion settings above?

    Earlybird is exporting H264 ... the Key Frames setting is determining the GOP length. This value should really be determined based on the complexity of the video, to my understanding, the actual frame rate has no bearing on it. If you have very complex fast moving content then a low Key Frame rate is advisable to ensure good image quality (although it will adversely affect the filesize) whereas if you have slow moving or static content (like an interview subject) then a higher Key Frame rate will still produce a good image but at a smaler filesize. The default of 24 should be pretty much fine as a catchall starting point.
    Earlybird
    Corrupted render files (and render references) can be a pain because FCP will use those files and references  in place of the original media when building the export. And so it should as it does't want to waste time re-rendering sections that are apparently already rendered. Unfortuantely, as noted, if the render file has gone bad and/or starts referencing the wrong media then you'll get these wierd flashes of completely unexpeced and unwanted footage showing up where it shouldn't be. When you trash those files then QT / FCP will just go back and re-reference the original media ... so it's usually a worthwhile step to take just in case thats the problem.  The worse case scenario is that it only that doesn't work and you spend some time unecessarily re-rendering.
    As to why these files go bad? That I don't know. Why do Preferences get corrupted? That I don't know either but it definitely happens :-(

  • FCP-X audio out of sync

    Help, I'm in trouble. I'm trying to finish a year-end video of Kindergarten kids. I've shot them with my normal video camera as I've always done (Canon GL-2). In past years I've used FCE and FCP. After a drive failure, I've upgraded to a new 27" iMac with FCP-X. As I'm learning my way through it, I've come up against the wall with this problem. I've downloaded the video into FCP-X and when i set my in and out points and pull them into the timeline, the video and audio are not in sync. The voice starts slightly before their mouth starts moving. I've not done anything with the clips. Did I need to change a setting before downloading? Please help as I don't want  to disappoint the kids and their parents.
    cheers,
    Jack

    Hi Luis,
    Yes, the audio was recorded at 48kHz.
    Codecs: DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, Linear PCM

    Audio Samler Rate: 48kHz
    Audio Configuration: 1 Stereo
    Camera Name: Sony DV-VCR
    Here is some additional information I though may be pertinent last nights and I've not been able to sleep very well. The footage was shot on my Canon GL-2, but because I do not want to abuse the heads, I use a small Sony DCR-H52 camera for the input into FCP-X.
    Also, as these are firewire (400) cameras and my new iMac does not have firewire ports, I've had to use two adaptors going from FW-400 to FW800 and then a second one from FW800 to Thunderbolt. Could I be getting this "lag" because of the adaptors?
    cheers,
    Jack
    I don't think the adapters would be the cause for audio getting out of sync.
    By the way, from your first message it would appear that the problem happened only when editing into a timeline.
    It now seems to me that it may be related to the import itself. Did you try any of the following:
    1) Play the imported videos in Quicktime Player and check if the audio is out of sync there (would suggest that the audio lag is introduced when importing)
    2) Import using a different piece of software - e.g., Quicktime Player itself, using the "Record Movie" command. Does this import also cause audio lag? If so, my prime suspect would be the camera used for import (or some discrepancy between that and the recording camera).
    3) Import a small portion using the Canon camera. Does it show audio lag?

  • FCP preset and Exporting movie codec setup?

    Hello all,
    I am using Canon 5D mark II to take the video clips, and editing them by FCP. The original video format from 5D2 is H.264, fps 30, .mov format. At the begining, I transfer it to ProRes422 format, and then edit it in FCP.
    I am not familiar with the codecs, Can anyone teach how to setup the FCP Video/Audio Setting, the Sequence Preset and Capture Preset for my 5D Mark II video?
    On the other hand, when I finish editing, I don't know what kind of codec and file format is better to make the file size smaller and also has good quility for exporting, please give me some advices! thanks!

    Make a new sequence. Drag one of your converted ProRes clips into the timeline before you do anything else. You should get the option to change the sequence to match the clips. Do it.
    As far as exporting goes there's no way to answer that without knowing where you're trying to get to when you export.

  • I am trying to export a video from Premiere Pro.  I have both audio and video checked and the sequence is active but only the audio exports.  There is no video at all.  Can anyone tell me how to get the video to export.  It was working fine until today.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,

  • How to send FCP edited audio clips for processing in Soundtrack?

    Hello
    How do I send just the edited audio clips from hour long files to be processed in Soundtrack from Final Cut?
    I need help as I'm trying to adjust some edited audio clips in Soundtrack Pro but when I send them from FCP to Soundtrack - it opens the whole original audio file and then any adjustments I apply in Soundtrack are being processed over the whole audio file not just the short edited audio clip that I want to adjust.
    Normally I don't mind as my scenes are usually short and Soundtrack analysis over the whole scenes audio is usually desirable, but this projects files have been transfered from tapes as hour long AVI files (all the tapes clips transfered into one hour long files) and every FCP edited audio clip I send is being treated as an hour long audio file in Soundtrack.
    I'm sure there's a simple answer for settings but I haven't been able to find it.  Any advice appreciated.
    Barra

    Thanks Javi, my sequence is an hour and half duration so what I'm trying to do is save processing time in Soundtrack by just processing adjustments on the few audio clips that need processing.
    I have set Soundtrack to open referenced audio only and with 5 sec in and out handles, but it still imports the whole original audio file into Soundtrack timeline upto the selected clip, I then double click in Soundtrack on the clip in brackets, and it then selects just the audio clip I want to adjust, then Soundtrack will just process on the edited clip but when I 'render to action' it seems to apply changes to whole original audio file - taking longer than I want.... frustrating
    Also the sound always sounds very different in FCP than Soundtrack even after 'rendering to action' and rendering in FCP... this is not the easy workflow I expect from such expensive software programs, I understood that they work together in a fully integrated way, what's the problem! This is wasting my precious time and preventing me from editing not helping me, this is a common problem and yet I can find no help in the user manual - I'm not impressed!

  • CS4 Audio Export Problem

    Hi
    I'm fairly new to CS4 and have picked up an audio export problem, more than likely with a setting of sorts. For some reason when I export to MPEG2 -DVD via the Media Encoder, the video portion is fine as well as any audio that has been placed and edited on tracks audio 1 and 2 in PP. However, if there is additional audio placed on tracks 3 or 4 for example (say a music MP3 overlay) then this does not come out ... only audio placed on tracks 1 and 2 in PP come out. I have checked the obvious like making sure the tracks aren't muted etc but to no avail. Also tried changing from PCM audio to MPEG ... Stereo to 5.1 mixdown ... nothing doing.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards

    Thanks Harm ... got SnagIt and with a few helpful YouTube tutorials ... am in business. Hunt and John, also thanks ... the other method equally as good. Now, I have attempted to attach my screen shot which should display my CS4 timeline and associated audio monitor windows above. By the way, this was for a wedding and as indicated, you will notice an MP3 lying in audio track 3 which as mentioned is my problem as it is not audible after render via Media Encoder. But remember, the moment I slip this MP3 up into audio track 1 or 2 above ... problem solved. I know there must be something small like a setting gone wrong or incorrect. As mentioned, any help would greatly appreciated.
    Thanks to you all.

  • FCP won't export MPEG2

    Just upgraded my OS to 10.5.7 from 10.4.9. No other changes to the system have been made but now FCP 4 will not export MPEG2. FCP locks up every time I try. FCP will still export QT and others, just not MPEG2. Never been a problem in the past. Any ideas?

    You were delightfully clear. My point it your previous experience doesn't count for anything because of the drastic change you've made to the computer.
    Think of it this way. Your computer is a human body that someone decides to do a heart transplant on even though the current heart seems to be functioning just peachy. Not only do they do a heart transplant, they don't bother to fully remove the previous version but simply splice in a few new valves and maybe a larger diameter aorta. So, this poor guy wakes up the next morning and finds that he can't walk because the new cobbled up heart just doesn't function as well as the older perfectly functioning one. All this flies in the face of the assurances of the Doctors (Apple marketing dept). They told him everything would be WONDERFUL when they were finished. Yea, right.
    Let's not forget your liver 4.5 is not supported by heart 10.5.7

  • Fcp 7 not exporting self contained

    Hi, help me out. Fcp 7 is exporting reference movie which doesnt play on other systems. I need to create a self contained movie for distribution.

  • Multichannel audio export in Premiere Pro CS 5

    Anyone know how to get a multichannel audio export from CS5 - I can find plenty of tutorials on CS6 or CC but not 5, which seems to have "16 Channel" as a sequence option (not "Multichannel") - and when it comes to export there is no Multichannel option - only Stereo, mono, or 5.1
    (I have 3 stereo tracks which I'd like to be able to export as 3 separate audio tracks contained within a quicktime file)

    Jim thanks for listening. The same file card XCAM removed, placed in timeline premiere CS4, appears the 4 separate mono audio channels, quabdo put in timeline premiere CS5.5, it arquivoMP4, so put a audio channel.
