Final Cut X - pops and clicks on export

I am using Final Cut X on a Mac 10.8.5 -- and using Compressor with custom Vimeo settings to output a 30 minute film with 48k soundtrack.
I can not get a clean final file -- it has random loud crackles, pops and clicks. I have turned all other programs off when rendering, and also tried rendering the sound track separately in the hope that then I could reassemble the parts after compressor. That worked when the soundtrack was rendered as AAC, but as AIFF it didn't work, worse cracks and pops. Thoughts? I am going crazy trying to get a clean version of this film! Thanks.

Its a simple project , all the file are in my desktop , not using hard drives.
Its abou 55 seconds at 24fps, 1920x1280.
thanks agaain

  • TS4522 I have a finished project, but Final Cut Pro has grayed out the export option. How do I fix this to upload my file to youtube and burn dvds?

    Hi guys, I really need help trying to figure out why Final Cut Pro will not allow me to export my project. I have done this in the past and had no problems at all with other projects, and I have done nothing different from what i can tell. Any help???

    Hey Tom,
    Thankyou for your help. No, I have done this and it does not work. I have tried clicking and dragging, selecting the file in the project library, selecting individual files etc etc etc. The only thing that may have helped me out was last night...I clicked on a tab in FCP on the far right side (that must have something to do with exporting as well) and a small screen popped up after clicking it stating i cannot export the file while it is still referencing media off of the camera. I dont understand this either? I do have to have my camera connected before FCP will RECOGNIZE the media clips, but they have all been imported to my external hard drive and once i click import from camera, it is complete within seconds, so the hundreds of video clips i am using are obviously saved on there somewhere already....im at a loss here as to what to do. Do i have to literally download ALL MEDIA in each project to my computers hard drive before final cut pro will allow me to export any of the projects i create?? This seems like such backward thinking...I dont have nearly enough room on my computers intenal memory to do this with all my video clips!!!

  • How can I make Final cut pro 7 and Yosemite work?

    Hi dear Apple.
    I have this huge problem with Final cut pro 7 and Yosemite.
    I have tried to install it on a Mac book pro that has Yosemite but it doesn't work.
    I have an I mac with finalcut pro 7 working on Lion but I need to upgrade it to Yosemite to be able to use CC Adobe.
    I have a feature film worth 6,7 million SEK with Final cut pro 7 and I can't translate it to XML files to premiere cause it is in its last editing process. I get an error everytime I try. Also the last version of Fcp (X) ***** for a professional editor. So.. My only option is to finish this film in Fcp7.
    How can I use Yosemite and still be able to keep Fcp7?
    Please help me or do something about this issue soon. I bought fcp7 for 11000 SEK at the time that was quite expensive. 

    Hi Meg the dog! Thanx for answering!
    I know it was left to die 4 years ago. I just think its ****** up.. I work with documentaries and it takes quite a while to finish. I have done one for 6 years now. If I had known that Fcp7 was left to die I would never had started to edit 6 years ago...
    I did try this recommended on the forum by another user:
    Go to the app location in finder, CTRL click on the app and choose [Show Package Contents]. A folder [Contents] appears, click on it and choose [MacOS]. You'll see a Unix executable. Double click, you'll start Terminal. At the same time fcp will launch. After fcp is launched, close terminal and confirm when asked. Now fcp is up and running. Close fcp and the next time, just open fcp the normal way. DONE!
    But it doesn't work for me. I can't launch fcp7.
    I have Fcp7 Installed on my I mac and I wonder if that will effect fcp7 if I upgrade to Yosemte?
    I tryed to export XML to work on premiere and this is what happends:
    Any recommendations? I am going crazy here..

  • .MOVz popping and clicking

    I have recently had a client complaining of the audio 'popping and clicking' in CS3 when she is using DV .MOV files I have supplied.
    She is using CS3 on a PC but I have checked the MOVz on my Mac in CS3 and I have noticed some similar problems.
    The files are from a Panasonic HVX200 recorded in DV mode to P2 cards.  The files were downloaded via "Log and Transfer' in Final Cut Pro and then handed to the client.
    We have been using this process for a while without issue but now we have these audio problems.
    Anyone know what the incompatibilty is?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the forums.

  • FCE 4 Audio Popping and Clicking -

    When using the voice over tool in Final Cut Express 4, I hear popping and clicking upon playback. My microphone goes through a Presonus Firebox. I do not hear the popping and clicking when I record through GarageBand, but this is after I make sure the file is saved in .aif. I do not believe this is a PreSonus issue, rather some wacky setting in FCE. I also read elsewhere this may be due to the fact that I may have had too many open audio tracks, but I have subsequently deleted all other audio tracks. Is this a bit rate issue? I have the Firebox set at 48,000 and the rate is the same in FCE. Tech support does not know how to solve the issue. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Figured it out. It had to do with a compatibility issue between the G5 and the Presonus Firebox. We installed FCE and connected the Firebox to a MacBook Pro and heard no popping in the audio track. We then purchased the M-Audio Fast Track Pro and recorded audio using the voiceover tool and heard no popping or clicking.

  • Audio Filters: Pop and Click Removal???

    Is there a pop and click removal available in Final Cut Express? My audio has some pops and clicks due to a little audio distortion and I need to get rid of it. Can anyone help?

    I don't know if there is any advantage one way or the other but I'm so use to doing it this way in Pro Tools that it's just natural for me. Make sure the waveform is displayed in the time line and zoom in on the offending click/pop and using the pen tool place an anchor on either side of the noise on the level line then pull the line down enough to remove or reduce the noise. If pulling the noise out makes an unnatural quiet spot you can copy a piece of ambiance from another spot, paste it on another audio track and fade in / fade out to fill the hole.

  • How to minimize Final Cut pro with one click?

    I know you can minimize windows (canvas, timeline, etc) by pressing Command+M 4 times but how to minimize Final Cut pro with one click?

    Hold down the Option key and click the Minimize button on any window, all windows in the app will minimize.
    Don't know what or if the reverse of this is - so although it's a one click minimize all windows, I believe you have to re-enlarge them one at a time.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and video app chaos

    Hi,
    Did anyone find after installing Final Cut Studio 2 that their 3rd party apps to do with video extraction/conversion suddenly start to unexpectedly quit when in operation? It's a brand new MacPro, lovely machine until Final Cut software went and messed things up. I won't mention the trouble I had to install both Logic Studio and FCS since they both share similar components and included apps, Apple's installer is not designed to cope and I had to mess about with the receipts folder to get both installed. This page was available yesterday http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1110?locale=en_GB to give an insight of the problems between the two. Anyhow, I think the best solution is to remove Final Cut software as I'm not up for spending hours debugging.

    I had a huge issue pop up with me too...and I figured the best way was to wipe the drive, install the OS and FCP from scratch. Took a day, but better than spending more time trying to figure things out.

  • Final Cut Pro x and Compressor 992 hour to process

    I edited a 1 hour-40 minute video, on Final Cut Pro X and processed using Apple's Compressor.
    I have tried different Operating Systems (Mavericks and Mountain Lion) on two different Mac Computers.
    IMac 2.8 Mhz and Mac Book Pro (both 2008)
    It has been transcoding to create video to run on Apple Devices, for over 6 days now, and it shows that it will take 992 hours to process.
    The same video, some months back, with Mountain Lion, took a couple of days to process.
    Question: Why is it taking this long now?
    I have tried to get a DVD done, different types of output; none have succeeded.
    I guess Apple, has made adjustments to their Operating Systems, to basically render this computers inoperable, forcing customers to buy their latest Mac models.
    Yes, I went to the "Genius Bar" at Apple (twice), first they told me to increase the memory, which I did; even though months ago I had videos processed without extra memory.
    The second time at the "Genius Bar", after I had installed extra memory, they had nothing to say, except that "they had a friend" with the same problem, but after "the friend" bought a new Mac, the problem was resolved.
    I called Apple support and was told to "reset PRAM", which I did. Still the problem persists.
    Any ideas?

    You don't mention how much RAM is in your machines, nor what are the versions of FCP X and the OS.
    These can make a lot of difference. If you are trying a long export with very little RAM (and I must say 4GB is *very little* RAM), then it can get bogged down tremendously. Do you have at least 8GB?
    How much free RAM is reported in Activity Monitor?
    Are you using Mavericks or a previous version of the OS? Mountain Lion was notorious for slowing down to a crawl in such circumstances.
    Give us more info, so we can better help.
    In the meantime, you might consider exporting just a small section of the movie (use I and O to mark an in and an out point in the timeline) and see how fast it goes; keep Activity Monitor open while you are doing it.

  • Question about Final Cut Pro X and miniDV's

    Hi,
    I'm thinking in buying Final Cut Pro X and use it to import and edit many hours of footage that I have on miniDV's tapes.
    I've heard that to work with miniDV's, Final Cut Pro X is not great, especially regarding timecode, etc. True?
    Any thoughts and advises? Many thanks!

    My experience is if you're shooting SD then you shouldn't have a problem unless you are trying to load a full hour. When I tried that, the computer went crazy and loaded the video as thousands of clips just a few frames long.
    That was supposed to be for a multicam shoot. I went back to FCP 7 where I've never had a single problem after at least 80 multicam projects with as many as eight cameras.
    I'll have to try it again in FCP X now that there have been two updates since my last try.
    I've also used HDV mini DV tapes shot with a Canon HV40. The video looked great in FCP X and I had no problem with clips that were 2-3 minutes long.
    I did not load my HDV clips as ProRes in FCP X because, when I did try it, they looked like total crap. I was afraid my finished exported video would also look like that.

    I need to burn a Final Cut Pro project onto a DVD. I watched a tutorial but they were using Final cut Pro 10. How do I burn a project just using Final Cut Pro? and can I go through IDVD? ( oh and how can I finalize the project?) Thanks!

    I did that already it it only burned one section of the project. How do I export a master file? Can i just save it on the computer then take it to IDVD? Thank you so much for helping me!

  • Down grade from 10.7.5 to 10.6 because of final cut 5.1 and the up grade to FC6

    Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
      1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
          loads select your language and click on the Continue
          button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
          Utilities menu.
      2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
          of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then
          the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART
          info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on
          the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
          from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
          Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
          the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

    i am currently using final cut pro 6 and i have a problem that i can not to do a play out to the dvcam but i can record from the dvcam, can you help please?

    I believe there is no  "Export to Tape"  feature as appeared in legacy FCP.
    SORRY! Just noticed you are using FCP 6.
    You need to ask this question in the Final Cut Studio forum.
