Final Cut 7 Audio playback problems

All of a sudden I can't hear my music play.  I can see the music in the audio tool, so I know it's there, but I can't hear it in the source window or the timeline.  I also can not hear tracks A9 and below.

Go to View > Audio and make sure the correct output is selected.
Go to the menu Final Cut Pro > user Preferences and increase the number of audio tracks you can hear in real time:
Increasing this may/will have consequences on the smoothness of playback.
When FCP begins to act in unexpected ways, trash your Final Cut Pro Preferences.
use Preference Manger from Digital Rebellion (free) to do this for you:

your preferences will be set to default the next time you launch FCP.

  • Final Cut Express HD playback problems

    I just purchased FCE and am creating a slideshow. I have burned it several times in iDVD and keep having the same problem. Every time it is played back the transistions in the same place get wierd. I would best describe it as kind of stuttering. All the other transitions look great. I have even deleted the pictures that were having problems thinking that would solve the problem. No luck, the bad transitions show up in the other pictures. I am at a loss. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    You might get better answers if you post your question in the Final Cut Express forum over here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=936 (this is the Final Cut PRO forum).

  • Final Cut Pro - audio rendering problem

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to render an audio sequence which is on two overlapping tracks, but it's not doing it on the overlapping section. I don't understand why not. Can you help? Cheers.

    Martin
    Try selecting Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown.
    Hope that helps !

    Additional Content and FCS Audio Content are not the same
    If the copy of Logic Studio you bought shipped with a wrong disc you need to return it for a replacement.

  • Final Cut Pro Audio Problem

    We recently had a problem with mastering a digital beta tape using FCP 3.1.
    The final audio mix was brought in as a wav file. Playing the file through quicktime, worked fine, however there were very specific sound FX that would not play back through final cut or our system. I even exported the clip from FCP and made a movie in the Black Magic Decklink codec. That file played the auido just fine from the desk top, however when I brought it back into FCP, and tried to lay it off to tape, the same SFX dropped out of the sound track.
    So we isolated the sound that wasn't working, and brought it in. The same problem persisted. We then exported the sound file so that instead of having audio in only one channel of a dual channel audio file, we just made it a monochannel sound, and put it in one channel only of our time line.. and THIS WORKED!
    So I have a fix, but its the problem that we dont understand. We need to make sure that this sort of thing doesnt lead to larger problems in the future and would really like to get to the bottom of it. If anyone could help us out with this please do!
    -A

    Betcha dollars to doughnuts it's a phase problem. This explains the reason it works in one channel and not in both.
    Suggest you invite your audio guy over and play it for him on your system. And let him fix it for you.
    WHERE in the chain of events this originally occurred is the tricky part. But it ought to be fun sort of mystery to unravel if you've got the time before deadline to get it properly sorted.
    Good luck with it. Let us know.

  • Final Cut Pro Audio Levels Low when exporting to mp3 and mp4

    Hi everyone!  When I export audio from Final Cut as an mp3, my levels are very low.  When I export footage as an mp4, the audio is low as well.  But before exporting, my levels are right at or below 0.  So they are where they should be.  So for example, when I open the audio in Adobe Audion or Logic, they could almost be doubled before peaking within those programs.  Could this be a compression issue?  And input would be helpful.  Thanks!

    Are you working 0n 10.0.9? If not, update FCPX and see whether that solves the problem.

  • Final Cut and Audio in Multicam

    I recently upgraded to the latest version of final cut pro x.
    With one audio chanel that did not change in a multicam movie, but the video chanel do change (did not use their audio).
    Everytime in which the camera in the multicam changes (on rendering only) I get a split second pause (or dropout) in the audio.
    I have been making multicam movies for a long time now, never had this problem with the old version. Doing everything the same way.
    Can anyone tell me how I can avoid this - other then deleting the cut in the audio (which are in sync with the changes in the cameras)
    Thank you.

    The cut where made across the multicam edit, each time I changed cameras, but the audio was constant.(audio had cuts in the wave form to match the video)
    The video and audio play correctly in the time line.
    The problem is after I export or compress the video. Then the audio drop outs happen.
    This never used to happen with the previous version with all things constant.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Final Cut Pro 'dropping frames' problem

    Hi. I have a macbook, version 10.6.8 - I am trying to use Final Cut Pro version 6.0.6 and am having problems with the 'dropping frames' issue. I know you can get rid of the message, but does anyone know how to solve the problem, as when it comes to exporting the film I won't be able to? Is my mac too small/old to use this version of FCP? If so, is there anything I can do to rectify that? (that doesn't involve buying a new mac!)
    Any suggestions would be great.
    Thanks.

    #12 Dropped frames on capture/playback
    Shane's Stock Answer #12:  Dropped frames on capture/playback
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58640
    1) Do not capture to your main system drive.  Since it is busy reading the operating system and application files, it will intermittently drop frames during capture.  Capture to a separate internal drive, or external hard drive (firewire and eSATA for example).
    2) Deactivate any anti-virus/filesaver software, including Norton and Virex.  For some reason these programs think that the large files created when you capture media are in fact caused by some sort of virus, and they try to prevent this.
    3) Check the format of the drive you are capturing to. It should be Mac OS Extended, journaling off. If it isn't, copy your files from it and re-initialize it.  If it is any other format, you will encounter problems. If not at first, then eventually.
    4) Trash the FCP preference files.  Use PREFERENCE MANAGER to do that, available here:
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com
    5) Make sure that the hard drives you are capturing to are fast enough to handle the footage being captured to it.  A regular firewire 400 drive cannot capture uncompressed HD, or even uncompressed standard definition.  A RAID array of drives might be in order for these formats.

  • Final Cut HD vs. iMoive - Problems

    I am having problems with "sharing" HD projects created in iMoive HD back to the Sony HD camera. The rendering of "audio mix", as iMovie prepares to share the project takes abut 5 hours -- and the camera times out. (A 40 minute project).
    Does anyone know if this is also an issue with Final Cut Express HD?
    And, can iMovie projects be transferred to Final Cut?
    Thanks:
    Chance

    Rendering audio shouldn't take five hours. Only limited amounts of information will transfer from an iMovie project to FCE.

  • Final Cut Pro Audio won't play

    I am making a slideshow with final cut, and every now and then I run into a song that won't play audio. I looked at the audio levels on the clip and they just aren't there. The music will go into final cut from itunes, but the actual audio isn't there. It works well when I play the song (in Itunes, or out of the final cut music and sound menu), but not when it is in the video. This only happens for a few songs though, any help??????

    Hi Druw77
    I have had that for months and months , I have found now a quick way to get around it, but it's not a solution is to press cmd f12 at the same time and then hit render again. I should get you around the problem for awhile but I suspect you need to reboot the software as i have done on many occasions!
    Sorry no one has helped me with the solution has yet and seems to be a problem with a few editors I know as well.

  • Final Cut Express Audio Listening Question

    I just installed Final Cut Express and have imported an iMovie project. When I listen to it the audio does not play. Instead I get a beeping sound. The wave forms show that the audio is there but I can't listen to it and I can't turn off the beeping. Is there an easy explanation for this?
    Many thanks.
    BTW, I also exported the iMovie as a quicktime movie and then imported it. Got the same result even though the quicktime movie playes perfectly.
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Thanks, that seems to be the problem. Not very satisfactory though.
    How do I render the audio as is suggested in the link?

  • Final cut alpha through SDI problem

    How to get Alpha chanel through SDI with Final CUt and AJA cona 3. All my AJA settings show me that SDI video and Alpha chanel are corect but I can`t see any alpha.

    I think the problem lies with the Firewire 800 connection. I was cutting a 4 angle music video last week with the source media (DV NTSC) residing on a 500GB G-Raid connected via Firewire 800. When playing back with open sync and the 4-up display in the viewer, I was experiencing the same jerkiness.
    I then copied that project to our XSAN and with the increase in available bandwidth over the fibre connection, playback was smooth.
    If you have room on a secondary internal drive, you might want to try moving the project there.

  • Final Cut Pro X crash problem on export.

    Hello. Okay so I am running Final Cut Pro X Version 10.0.6 on a Late 2011 Macbook Pro 13-inch with 2.8 GHz Dual Core i7 processor, 4GB RAM. At the time of the export I am not running any other applications.
    I had begun exporting in 1080p HD with Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) which kept repeatedly failing. However having lowered this to 720p HD with both 1280 x 720 and 920 x 720 resolution, and changing Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) to H.264, I am still without luck on my export.
    The export runs for a while before completely freezing up and crashing Fina Cut Pro X entirely, at the moment it gets to around 41% before crashing.
    I get a report telling me that it crashed on Thread 26. Here is a copy of the Thread 26 crash in case anyone out there can understand this:

  • FINAL CUT CRASH - FIRE WIRE PROBLEM

    Alright, this is just my last shot.
    I use final cut pro 3 to edit videos, and a miniDV sony camera too. (I even bought new fire wire cables to double check the problem)
    Always worked with them, no sweat.
    But once I upgraded my iBook with the latest OS version TIGER, my nightmare started. My iBook is the second latest one, still on warranty .....
    Final Cut crashes every time I open the LOG AND CAPTURE window. No way, it's impossible .... I tried to re-install the software. The only way (it seems really weird and odd) is to use iMovie to import them.
    It's very crazy. I tried the same in a friends computer, and apparently is his, just works fine.

    OHH Yes absolutly, I send my originals CD's to apple. I pay 49 dolars for the Crossgrade and Then I install everythiing. I have MY oun lisence all original. But I dont know what is going on.

  • Final Cut Pro Video Playback not in Widescreen for Anamorphic Material

    I have a Panasonic DVX-100B hooked up to my computer and am running Final Cut Pro. I shot everything in the anamorphic squeeze mode. When I play this material back through my camera (which displays the material as widescreen because I forced it on the camera menu) it doesn't playback on the TV in widescreen, it stretches it back out vertically. Is there a setting in Final Cut that will send the signal as a 16:9 signal to the TV, so that it will understand it correctly?

    No, FCP does not send out an anamorphic flag via firewire. What I mean is, it sends out the video to your deck simply as 720x480, without telling the deck (and therefore the monitor, as well) if that is supposed to be a 16:9 or 4:3 image. In order to monitor with the correct ratio, you'll need to have a monitor that can correct for aspect ratio.
    If you're working on a pro monitor, it should have a 16:9 button (or menu setting, at least). Some recent - as in the last 4-5 years - consumers TVs also have an anamorphic squeeze feature that will compress the image vertically. If you've got a 16:9 TV, you'll need to use the stretch feature (of all things) to correct your preview image.
    All that said, I'm guessing you fall into the last camp: you're previewing out to a consumer TV that cannot do vertical compression? If so, your only alternative is to nest your anamorphic sequence in a 4:3 one for preview purposes. Of course, this is needlessly cumbersome (and you run into the dreaded issues with nests failing to update every now-and-then) and requires more CPU horsepower. Either that or edit with the distorted image...
    Or are you in a whole 'nother situation?
