FCP Audio is Quiet when exported to iphone or used with DVD Pro

I recorded a voice over with an external mic through a pre-amp into STP, boosted the db level of the recording in STP with the master gain on a channel EQ effect and exported it out as an AIFF file. I imported the AIFF into FCP, put it under video and adjusted the audio levels so the peak db is between -12 and -6 - everything sounds great from the canvas. I then exported the entire video to m4v to be played on an iphone and .mov (through QT not Compressor) to be burned with DVD Pro.
The audio on the DVD works fine in my mac computer and even works fine via blue tooth to my car stereo (using my iphone), but the audio is either quiet or slightly distorted (sometimes sounds like it's underwater) when played in a regular console DVD player or played on my iphone's speakers.
Here is what I have done so far - the STP audio is 48 hz 24 bit and I originally had my FCP sequence settings at 16 bit. I switched this to 24 bit midstream in FCP - is this an issue? Otherwise - I have tried a bunch of stuff, e.g. power line hum is negative in STP and there is very little underlying noise in the original recording based on analyzing with the Noise Reduction in STP.
Has anyone dealt with this issue or aware of a db/audio compatibility problem between STP and FCP or an export problem with FCP in this situation? Please let me know if anyone has any information or solutions. Thank you.

My export out of STP is 6 tracks - including a submix and a master - but I don't even use those (I'm not a seasoned user on STP - I basically exported them by mistake). I end up deleting 4 tracks (the submix and blank master) and keeping the stereo channel that I directly recorded.
However, by way of background, I had this same issue using a Garageband AIF file. It was too quiet and garbled upon export from FCP as well. That is why I switched to STP to use its better EQ/gain boosters. Please advise with any thoughts. Thanks.

  • Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The file is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes.

    Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The temporary file it saves is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes. I have been able to locate the file using GrandPerspective and close out of FCP to delete it. But when I try exporting the movie again it creates the ICMMultiPassStorage file again. I have made sure my scratch disks are set to my external hard drive so I know that isn't the issue. How do I fix this problem so these temporary files are not being stored on my internal hard drive instead of my external?Thanks!

    Try exporting the timeline "using current settings" via Make QuickTime Movie, then submit that clip to Compressor for the transcode. This should be faster and less painful.

  • Problem with audio sample rate when exporting

    I am having an issue with my audio sample rate. For some reason it is set at 8 khz by defualt when I am exporting. This was not an issue until the latest update (2 weeks ago). I'll try and give all the info I can up front. Also I tried customer support...that was a nightmare.
    Ok the issue I am addressing is that the audio sample rate when exporting is at 8khz by default. Which to my knowledge has NO relevant use what so ever. Even when I set the file format to h.264 it insists on resetting to 8khz. Even if I manually set everything look at the render queue and click on output module again it changes the sample rate back to 8 khz automatically which I must adjust again. Why can it not just be set at 48000 like every other adobe product is and like it used to be two weeks ago. Does anybody have an answer?

    This problem is addressed by the After Effects CC (12.2.1) bug-fix update, which is now available:

    Note the part at the end of that page about a crucial update for the Creative Cloud desktop application, which addresses some severe problems with AME, Premiere Pro, and After Effects.

  • Changing frame rate when exporting from iMovie '09 using quicktime has no impact on duration.  Why?

    Changing frame rate when exporting from iMovie '09 using quicktime has no impact on duration.  Why?
    I have a file created by digitizing an 8mm film at a rate of 24 fps. I would like to create a downloaded movie at a frame rate of 15 fps.  The Export using Quicktime option seems to provide that capability but the resulting file has the same duration as the original 24 fps file.  How can I get the exported movie to be slowed down?

    joegez,
    There is a feature you can use to slow down the video. In the project, move the mouse pointer over the clip, then click the gear icon. That brings up the Inspector. Click the Clip tab. Then you will see a feature there called Speed. Move the slider to the left to slow down the clip. Or you can enter a percentage in the box on the right.
    Hope this solves the problem for you.

  • When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes!

    When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes about 3/4ths the way through the 12 hour process. I'm saving it to a La Cie 500 GB disc by fire wire. It's worked before but after I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence, I haven't been able to export it and it won't play straight at anything bigger than 25% size. Please if you have any advice I won't forget it. I'm trying to export as ProHD 1060i.

    I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence
    How, exactly? And what were the settings of your new HD sequence? DVCPRO HD 1080 60i?

  • When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help,  Bruce

    When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help,  Bruce

    A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  • Audio cuts out when exported to quicktime

    So I recorded audio in garage band, added it to my slides in keynote, went through and timed the bullets on all of my slides to coincide with the audio, then attempted to export it to quicktime.  After several attempts in various formats the audio just cuts out before completing, usually after I click to advance another bullet in the slide.  Come to think of it, I don't think the bullet advances either.  I've been struggling with this for about two weeks after I realized that powerpoint was cropping my audio when I was recording it in that application.  I'm just trying to record a lecture for an online course and it seems like every time I think I have a solution I come across another problem.  Can anybody help me?

    Going into the red with digital audio is not the same as when it happens with analog audio.
    With digital sound the signal is being truncated and as you remarked, quite literally being destroyed.
    Redlining analog audio, is introducing distortion but there is still "headroom" and in reasonable doses it can give you a nice fuzzy feeling.
    Bottom line -don't let your digital audio signal go into the red.

  • AUDIO CLIPPING/DESTROYED WHEN EXPORTED TO QUICKTIME

    Hi folks! Does Bob need your help today!
    I am working on a sequence in Final Cut Pro. When I play it in the timeline, the audio sounds fine. However, when I export it to Quicktime, it is a lot louder and the audio clips like crazy (distorts/sounds destroyed). I am really in trouble here and just can't figure it out. I'm going nuts! All I want is to have what I have in the timeline exported as it is.
    Some details to help you help me:
    - although it sounds good when played in the timeline, the audio does stray into the red. I don't see why this should matter since it sounds fine in the timeline - this is all I want when exporting.
    - I have one video track and several audio tracks.
    To all who do, thanks so much for helping me.

  • Movie audio becomes corrupted when exported to iDVD

    Hi,
    I have created a movie that is 53" long in iMovie, added various transitions, text screens, music tracks and photos but also kept a lot of the camcorder audio as well. The movie plays perfect in preview on iMovie but when I have shared it with iDVD some of the audio and voices are out of sync and there are also some random loud noises, a quarter/half a second long, that appear at certain points in the iDVD version - they sound like bits of the actual iMovie audio but from completely different part of the movie.
    So, the problem is that the movie is perfect in iMovie but when shared with either iDVD or Media Browser, there is some loss of syncing and these random noise bursts.....
    This is the same when I have burned the movie to a DVD and played back through the DVD player - the out of sync and noises still appear.
    Any thoughts on how I can get around this to have a perfect DVD as well - dont really want to get everyone around the Mac to watch the movie later this month!!!!
    Thanks

    There is a known audio glitch in iMovie '09 that appears in exported movies when custom speed settings have been used in the project.
    It's important when making speed changes to use only the preset speed percentages shown on the speed slider. These are: 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400% and 800%. Don't manually type in your own custom speeds that differ from the presets.
    The glitch that you describe appears only in the exported movie, and as you have noted, is not evident in preview (before sharing). The fix is to revisit your project and adjust any custom speeds to the presets. This can be a pain of course, as you may have to resynchronise the project elements.

  • Premier Pro deletes denoiser effect on part of audio on video when exporting

    I am working with a project that has really bad audio. I have edited and used many noise removal tools in Adobe Audition CC and Premier Pro CS6 (Noise remover, EQ, and Denoiser) which had removed the majority of the noise on the audio. However, after exporting this project and playing it in Quicktime, Premier has seemed to discarded these noise removal effects in the first 5 seconds of the video.
    To try and resolve this, I cut up the first 5 seconds and applied an additional denoiser effect to see if this would help. However it did not, and Premier completely disregarded all of the sound removal in all of the exported clip.
    Does anyone know why it is doing this and how I can resolve this?

    I would like to second this.
    I used noise removal. My video is multiple different interviews. There are 5 cuts, to five different audio/video clips, each with noise removal effect on them. but, Only on 2 of the cuts, in the final export, for 3 seconds, the noise removal effect seems to "not work" when the clip starts, then it kicks on gently for the remained of the clip. (similar to what Khalil Jammal said, which is why I'm posting this.
    Again, the noise removal fails to "start" only on SOME of the cuts/clips in the final export. It kicks on after about 2 or 3 seconds.
    This is odd...it's as if the noise removal effect is having trouble communicating with the final export render. I don't get it. For now, i will have to go back to my "old way" of exporting the audio, cleaning it up in my DAW, then importing it back into Premiere.
    This is also annoying as I am paying like, $30 a month for Premiere. This does not seem like something we should have to "work around", but rather, Adobe should fix this issue.
