Final cut pro audio output through firewire

Hi,
At present I'm using my macbook pro for video playback in an in house broadcasting studio.  I'm sending my video and sound through firewire into a Canapus ADVC110 box and then I split the audio into my sound board, and my video into a video mixer.  Unfortunately, I'm only getting one track of sound from FCP.  Do you know how I could get both tracks going through the firewire?  I'm hoping it's a simple solution.
Thanks

The problem is that I'm not sending it through speakers.  I'm sending it into a mixer, that broadcasts to both televisions and simulcasts out of the headphones into a PA system.  I broadcast out of a school.  The problem is that the mixer only sees one side (audio track 1)   It doesn't see the other side.  However, if I hook a dvd player up to the same plugs on the mixer, it sees 2 sides. 
Everything is cool for most presentations; however, when students do voice overs and they only go to one track, it may not be heard through the mixer. 
Remember, my hookup is as follows:  macbook pro - firewire - canopus advc110 video converter - then the video goes into a anologue video mixer (panasonic AG-MX70) but the sound gets split and goes into a audio mixer.  The problem is that the sound out of the canopus box gives me only one side.  I've tried replacing every cord, firewire, plug, etc, and the result is the same. 
To survive the next few days of presentations, how do I send out a mono audio signal from my macbook, instead of a stereo audio signal????

  • Exporting Final Cut Pro audio for importing into Avid via OMF

    Greeting Colleagues
    I'm just wondering if there are any special consideration when creating an audio OMF in Final Cut Pro for importing into a PC based Avid edit suite.

  • Final cut pro audio missing from clip once i move it from viewer to canvass?

    hi i'm new to final cut pro 7, when i play my video in the viewer i can hear the audio loud and clear however when i'm move it to the canvass and play it in the time line the audio is gone? can someone pls help me

    Probably best to ask this questio in the FINAL CUT STUDIO forum and not the FCPX forum, BUT -- since you're here...
    Make sure that the AUDIO PATCHES are connected to the timeline... those are the pluggy arrow type looking things on the left side of the timeline.  With the clip in the viewer window add it into the timeline.  Audio should come with it.
    Or - do you already SEE the audio tracks on the timeline and you just can't hear it?  (if that's the case, try opening the audio mixer and making sure the master volume is up.
    Good luck,

    This is the quick and dirty way of doing it. Read the manuals (FCP, Compressor, DVD Studio Pro) for more information.
    Control-click on the sequence name in your Browser in FCP, and select Export > Using Compressor. The sequence name will then show up in Compressor. Select the sequence name that just showed up, and then on the top of the screen select one of the DVD:xxxxxx settings for your project. I would recommend the Best Quality options. You will see 90, 120, 150 minute options. Pick the lowest that you can without it being shorter than your sequence. For example, if your sequence is 92 min, select the 120 min option. You will need an MPEG setting as well as the Dolby setting. Once you have selected your presets, set their destination - use Desktop for now. When you have selected the Settings and Destination for the sequence, Click "Submit" on the lower right of the screen. Batch Monitor will pop up, telling you the progress. When the job has completed, open up DVD Studio Pro.
    Once DVDSP loads, you will see on the left side of the screen two large icons in the Graphical tab window. Select each one, control-click on it, and select Delete. Now click File > Import > Asset and choose each one of the files you encoded to your desktop. You should have an MPEG and a Dolby file. They will then show up in the lower left of your screen in the Assets tab once you have imported them. Select both at the same time, then simply drag them to the open space in the Graphical tab. It will create an icon like the ones you deleted. Control-click on the new icon, and select First Play. Put in a blank DVD, and then go to File > Burn. Once this is done burning you will end up with a DVD that you just put in your player and it will automatically play.
    Like I said, this is quick and dirty. Read the manuals, play with different settings, and get comfortable with each application.

  • Final Cut Pro: Audio has gone Missing!

    I imported .XML files to Final Cut Pro X. I am using a cannon plugin to convert files. The sound is evident until the clips become 100% imported and then there is only sound at the beginning of each clip but not the rest of it. Where do I find the sound?
    P.s. Both the dialogue and video boxes are both checked.

  • 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!

    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 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.

  • Apple Audio Filters in Final Cut Pro

    I'm posting this question here because I didn't receive any responses in the Final Cut Pro message area, and I thought given the nature of the questions, audiofiles that read this area might have an answer.
    In Final Cut Pro there are two folders of audio filters, one called APPLE and the other FINAL CUT PRO.
    I fully realize none of these filters have the power of programs like SOUNDTRACK PRO.
    However, I'm in a situation where I need to document what the filters do. I've already found all the material I need for the FINAL CUT PRO filters. However, I can't find any information anywhere on the APPLE category of filters.
    My questions:
    #1 - Does anybody know why the APPLE audio filters are seperated out from the Final Cut Pro filters? How are they different generally?
    #2 - Does anybody know where I can find documentation on what each of the APPLE category of audio filters do? I can't find it in the Final Cut Pro Manuals or Diane Weyland books. I found some Ken Stone tutorials on line, but they don't address the APPLE filters.
    #3 - And many of the APPLE audio filters seem to be near duplicates in the Final Cut Pro audio filters, so what's the point in having two versions?
    Any info at all or a direction to look would be appreciated.
    Thanks so much.

    As of Leopard I was surprised to find that the Apple system plug-ins, and those that are supplied with the FCP suite are not AU plug-ins in the old sense of what a plug-in used to be. They no longer exist as a file anywhere in the system as they used to. Audio Unit plug ins formerly used to exist in Library/Audio/Plug ins/Components - now they are build into the Leopard operating system.
    Any third party plug-in you purchase will still be installed in the "old" way.
    Sorry, I can't remember where that documentation exists. Probably in the developer docs somewhere.

  • Final Cut Pro 2nd monitor not working properly?

    Been here before a long time ago, can't remember how it was resolved.
    Working in a new edit suite, FCP Studio.  Two new Samsung monitors (not my choice).  I want one to be my playback monitor.
    I set:
    Final Cut Pro > Audio/Video Settings
    > Digital Cinema Desktop Full Screen
    > View > External Video > All Frames
    But all I'm getting is a black frame on the 2nd monitor.
    They've also got one of those very flat alluminum keyboards ... where F12 becomes a sound control.  I'd love to know how I can change the function key to work as an FCP action / 2nd monitor toggling on and off.
    That's two questions.  Would be most appreciative of an answer for either.
    Ben

    Hey Andy,
    I did the first half of your suggestion, but not the second half.  Heading down to the studio this morning ... set up in a tiny white chapel looking out across the silvery North Atlantic ... and will try the second half of your suggestion.  Will also see if there are two graphics cards installed in the Mac Pro.  Will also check out the Window > Arrange in FCP (something I should have checked first off).
    I talked to a filmmaker who previously worked on the system, only to discover he never uses the second monitor as a full screen, but rather as a large 'bin'.  Interesting.
    If worse comes to worse and I can't solve it I suspect I could size the canvas window to super large and drag it over to the second monitor.
    Will post back when I've tried the latest suggestions ...
    Thanks you mucho guys,
    Ben

  • Installing Final Cut Pro 1.2.5 on OS X

    A buddy of mine was digging through some of his old software and found an unopened version of Final Cut Pro 1.2.5. I'm attempting to install in on my PowerBook G4, and I'm wondering if it is even possible.
    I have installed and began running "classic" on my machine and have installed FCP, but when I try to start the program the following error message shows up: "That application or control panel is not supported by Classic"
    I have no idea what this means, and all i'm trying to do is to install FCP v 1.2.5 so I can upgrade to version 3.0.2. I know the software is a little behind the times, but I can not turn down free software.

    Open the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences and check if there is a Mac OS 9 entry in the list of disks; if so, click on it and then on the Restart button. From here, install Final Cut Pro 1.25 and then upgrade to 3.02; additional information on upgrading is available in this article.
    If you cannot boot your computer from Mac OS 9, you cannot install Final Cut Pro 3.02 through the upgrade package; you need a full installation disk.

  • Final Cut Pro X does not open

    Final Cut Pro X goes through the motions of launching then I a window opens up but doesn't populate with anything...it's just a blank dark grey window.  I tried uninstalling (dragging icon to trash) and reinstalling but it didn't work.

    Try trashing the preference files.
    Lots of different symptoms can be cured by trashing these files, so it should be the first thing you try when FCP  behaves strangely in any way.
    To do it manually is very simple.
    Close FCP X if it is open.
    Navigate your way to Users>Library>Preferences
    Then make sure the preference folder is in List View and the Name column is selected as this makes it easier to find the 2 files you need to trash.
    Drag the 2 files I have outlined in red to the trash.
    Click this image to enlarge it for clarity.
    Then launch FCP X and it will create new preferences and hopefully it will make things better.
    That's all  .  .  .  .   it won't take a minute and may work wonders.

  • Final Cut Pro 6 - firewire output to monitor I lose Canvas window. . .?

    Hello, I am running Final Cut Pro 6 (Suite 2) on a G5 1.6 processor, etc etc.
    I have noticed that with this version of FCP, that when my media goes out the firewire cable to a production monitor, that my motion of the clips STOPS in the Canvas and Viewer windows.
    Anyone know why that is? Older versions of final cut, there were no problems. . .now there is? Is there some simple setting somewhere i am overlooking?
    Please help! As surprisingly while it is not dire, it IS a nuisance. . .
    Thanks,

    in the Audio/Video Settings window >> A/V Devices tab
    make sure you have ticked the "Mirror on Desktop" checkbox
    • Mirror on desktop: Select this checkbox to simultaneously show video on both your

  • Is out of sync audio because of Final Cut Pro X or DVD-R 8x?

    Hi, I tried burning a 2 hour DVD straight from Final Cut Pro X (with it's featured menu).  I used an Imation DVD-R 8x, and the burn went through successfully.  However, the footage turned out pixelated and I noticed about halfway through that the audio was getting out of sync.  I went back to check my sequence in FCPX to make sure I hadn't made a mistake and everything is alright.  Was this an issue with the DVD I was using, or with FCPX's DVD exporting?

    In FCPX, Share>DVD>Settings>Output Device>Hard Drive. That will make a disk image.
    If you have iDVD, great choice. Just Share>Master File, and brong that into iDVD. The iDVD app will do the encoding and give you a disk image option as well.
