Final Cut Pro changing sound speed

Part of my job is making sure that final mixes sync with the appropriate video delivery of NTSC, PAL, or regular 24fps film speed. Lately I've discovered that when I sync final mixes that I know should be synced to 25 or 24 fps picture they suddenly become 29.97 and I need to change their speed to 99.9% for proper sync. I've checked my settings and they are the appropriate speeds (PAL, 24, etc..,) Does anyone know if Final Cut will automatically change the speed of your sound upon import?

If your audio track has something other than a 48 Khz sampling rate, it will just beep beep on playback until you render it. I never heard it fade out and then get louder though -- possibly because I know exactly why it's doing that and never listened long enough??
I guess you will either have to wait for someone that also uses that device to read your post or mail their support people directly.

  • Final Cut Pro X Export Speed Problems

    I'm having problems getting any real processor speed out of my Final Cut Pro X exports. Whether I do a direct native Pro Res export straight from FCPX or send to compressor with the same settings, or even change them to H.264 or something else, i more often get processing that looks like the included picture, barely one processor being tapped. Sometimes ill get 50 percent which is probably all direct export is meant to use, seems like Qmaster distributed processing still doesn't work here. Once i get the file out and then bring that into Compressor 4 I get no issues, can get 50 percent with regular submit and full speed all cores running with Quickcluster submit. Any ideas why this is happening?
    Just to be clear, these are native ProRes HQ clips, no effects, nothing, just selects I'm trying output, and since we can't do reference clips anymore, well....

    TThe most common cause of this problem is that the media hasn't been imported properly and is still referencing a camera card or archive. If you press Cmd-E and no dialog appears, this can be one cause.
    BTw, this is primarily a user to user forum, so no one here really cares if you go and use Premiere.

  • Final Cut Pro 7 Sound Card Problem...

    Hello,
    Im not really sure how to even explain my problem but Im going to try because Im going nuts over here.
    I just bought a mbox 2 mini and am using it as a soundcard. Usually everything works fine but sometimes when in FInal Cut Pro 7 the sound drops out completely and my speakers become silent with the exception of a "put...put...put...put..put" sound. Gradually gets softer until it dissapears...and then it gets loud again and repeats.
    Any ideas?

  • Why does Final Cut Pro change my title's baseline after the first two titles when exporting a master file?

    Hey Guys,
    I want to use a Zoom title (Titles -> Build In/Out -> Zoom).  I only want the title, not a subtitle.  So I insert Zoom's everywhere, type in my stuff for Line 1, delete the contents of Line 2, format it (font, tracking, etc.).  Everything looks great in the Viewer.  I let it render, then export a Master – same as source.  I open the MOV, the first two titles are great.  Then every title thereafter looks like someone changed the position by 100 pixels south of its original location.
    Here's what I've done to troubleshoot it:
    Removed all Zoom's, inserted new ones, removed the contents of Line 2 and left Line 1 alone (i.e. it still reads "Title").  When I export, everything's fine.  The moment I change formatting or put in new copy in Line 1, same thing happens – every title changes position by 100 pixels down.
    Downloaded Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager, trashed pref's/
    I'm using a TTF with a bold type body only.  Figured I'd leave it at Gill Sans Bold.  Same thing happens as soon as I type something custom into Line 1.
    I had a text style saved and removed it.  (Which wasn't easy.  Solution here.)
    Has this ever happened to you?
    Thanks!

    Hey Jim,
    Thanks for the follow-up.  Here are some more details:
    OS - 10.8.2
    FCP X - 10.0.7
    I can't update either of these because of my Avid installation.
    Something else I didn't mention – this happens in a 4K project.  Notice how a default Zoom title looks:
    Lines 1 and 2 are almost stacked on top of each other.
    Here's my title style:
    Here's what the title looks after I apply the title style, modify Line 1, and remove the contents of Line 2:
    And here's how it looks in the exported master file MOV:
    Notice how it's pushed down?
    Then I decided to make a 720p project.  No more title problems.
    So if you have some 4K footage, Jim, give it a go.  Or if there's another 4K-er out there, try this and let me know.
    Thanks!

  • 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!

  • Always crash with my Final Cut Pro

    Hi guys,
    I have problem with my FCP, my FCP always close/crash while I'm edit my project. approx. it closed around 14 until 17 times a day. I using FCP 7.0.3 on snow leopard Mac OS X (10.6.6). I use Macpro machine with spec 2x2.4Ghz Intel Quadcore, Ram 6Gb. I already try many ways to fixing by formating an OS, re-install Final Cut Pro, change Harddrive for the system, added memory into 8Gb but still got this problem. I'm editing XDCAM EX-3 format with setting sequence XDCAM EX 1080 25P VBR 35Mb/s. my FCP project size 175Mb. Would you guys help me to solve this problem and give solution to fixing this?? would you inform me by email to. my email [email protected]
    thanks guys...
    Best Regards,
    Andi Manoppo

    my FCP project size 175Mb.
    Start by dumping sequences that are not current. Get rid of everything that is not needed to move the project forward.
    If you reduce the project file size, the reliability will increase.

  • How do I change the speed of the Final Cut Pro X "Ticker" Title option?

    I am moving from iMovie to Final Cut Pro X.  I used to use the "ticker" title option all the time in iMovie, but when I utilize it in Final Cut Pro X, it scrawls really slow and only shows the first line of text before the video ends.  How do I adjust the speed of this option?

    This Motion template effect isn't very useful at the moment.
    Sadly, the only way of changing the speed is to modify the effect in Motion.
    The speed is designed to get the word 'Information' at the default size and default typeface across the screen over the duration of the clip. If you add more text, or change its size, the text will not move off the edge of the screen by the end of the duration of the generator.

  • Exporting sequence from Final Cut Pro 7, some clips are pixellated and bad quality, does this have anything to do with the fact that I changed those clips speed?

    Hello,
    Bit of a beginner using Final Cut Pro 7
    Am currently trying to export a sequence using quicktime conversion.  Sequence has various filters and effects over it and when I export it some of the clips are pixellated and appear to have not exported correctly.  From what I can gather the affected clips have either been slowed down or made faster.  I am wondering whether this is the reason they have not exported correctly
    Any help would be appreciated
    Cheers

    More information needed.
    Codec of material?
    Sequence settings? (codec)
    fwiw - do not use quicktime conversion. Use Export Quicktime with Current Settings enabled then do any format conversions in Compressor.

  • Hi, I have small problem, for some time in music area I had two folders to use 1. Apple loops for soundtrack pro 2. Final Cut pro sound effects now both are gray and with out content may I know what happend

    Hi, I have small problem, for some time in music area I had two folders to use 1. Apple loops for soundtrack pro 2. Final Cut pro sound effects now both are gray and with out content may I know what happend

    I just went through this and it appears that my Focusrite Saffire was the culprit. I connected all the outputs on the focusrite according to the way the jacsk on the back were labeled and then set up the multichannel speaker setup to match. Then I went into STP, created a pink noise clip and panned it around, the LFE, center and rears were not in the right place.
    I reconnected the hardware to match the 5.1 pan pot in STP then changed the multichannel speaker setup to match. Everything appears to be correct now but I would have loved to have been able to just assigned the output busses to correct outputs in the saffire.
    Next step is to pan that pink noise around with my SPL meter to calibrate the room.

  • HELP!  My sound is distorted when I export from Final Cut Pro 10.3

    How do I use Compressor 4.1 with Final Cut Pro 10.3?  My sound is all distorted when I download!  HELP!!!

    You mean 10.0.3, I suppose. This is a VERY old version and it does not work in Mavericks; Compressor 4.1 is a recent version and maybe there is some incompatibility.
    You should update to 10.1.1, but 10.1 introduced significant changes. Before updating, follow these excellent recommendations and tutorials from Steve Martin and Mark Spencer:

  • Final Cut Pro X Speeding Up Clip Dropped Frames

    Hello there!
    I record Xbox 360 gameplay through a Hauppauge HD PVR into EyeTV3.  I then export those clips using EyeTV3.  Then, I import those clips into Final Cut Pro X.  In the past, FCPX used to work through these clips incredibly fast and I never had any problems changing the speed in the timeline.  Now, however, FCPX runs really slow, sometimes crashes upon startup, and most annoyingly, drops frames...a lot.  I import the file and put it in the timeline, and even without changing the speed, it often doesn't even render the whole clip, but rather just appears to 'miss' 3 or 4 frames, which is very annoying.  It gets even worse when I change the speed of the clip (namely, speed it up).  I know it is not an EyeTV3 problem, because I watch the clips just fine after exporting in QuickTime.  I have tried exporting as H.264 an HD 720P, but nothing seems to work.  And I don't understand why it used to work flawlessly until now.  It is really upsetting and I am at a loss as to how to fix the problem.  All help would be appreciated.  Thank you very much.

  • Speeding Up Final Cut Pro

    I just purchased my first Mac about 2 months ago and I want to speed up rendering. I am taking a class in Final Cut Pro at a local college and learning a lot. I have been using ULEAD (Windows Based 32 bit)for about 2-3 years and have a lot of raw AVI files I need to convert to MOV. Most of the files are 1440 X 1920 resolution. Is there a way to speed up the conversion? At the rate it is converting I am better off just uploading the footage off of the DV tapes. It is taking 20 minutes to render 5 minutes worth of footage. With 6 gigs of 800MHz RAM I would think it should smoke through rendering.
    Clark

    Clark: What are you rendering to? I mean, are you manipulating these clips or just trying to play them--no filters, effects, slo-mo etc.? If you are required to render only placing them in the timeline you may want to change your timeline settings. Are you ouputting HD? What is the CODEC? (AVI is a container, like QT, not a CODEC.) Use "Item Properties / Command+9" to find out. Set the timeline settings as close to your original footage as possible--ideally matching exactly (in which case there is no rendering whatsoever).
    And, in general, the CPU and GPU are going to speed up your renders. Big RAM certainly does't hurt you, but lots of RAM on a slow machine won't help much. You could also look into QMaster if you have extra machines available.

  • Final cut pro x - Title changes are not saved!

    Dear Sirs,
    I have a big project I am working on in Final cut pro x that contains about 300 subtitles (created with the basic title tool), and now when I make text changes to these titles, quit the program and open the project again those changes are gone....!!! This is a serious problem for me, any help concerning this would be greatly appriciated.
    Thank you,
    Oded

    You might not have a compatible video card. It needs to be "OpenCL" compatible. What mac are you using, and what video card? This info is available using the "About this Mac" menu item; click "More Info" to get to the video info.
