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.

How to setup an artist mix (audio mixer) on final cut pro 7?

how to setup an artist mix (audio mixer) on final cut pro 7?

Hi Meatpuppet,
I'm having the same issue with not getting my audio through to the client on Ichat theater preveiew. I'm on a mac pro with a small DV camera attached via firewire. when I start the chat, the person on the other side sees and hears me fine, but then when I start sharing in FCP, the video switches so that the remote person sees the time line, but loses the audio from me and doesn't hear the audio from the time line...
The manual recommends "disconnecting and external video device" ( then what do us mac pro folks do?)
So my question for you, and I know that you're on and Apogee Duet, is: Was your tinkering in FCP, your system sound settings, or iChat? in other words, where was the disconnect?
thanks.

Using Tascam US-122mk11 as audio interface in Final Cut Pro 7

Using Tascam US-122mk11 as audio interface in Final Cut Pro 7. Works fine with Garage Band. Final Cut Pro won't use it. It appears in source menu in Voice Over Tools, but FCP won't use it.

This is the Final Cut Pro X forum. You are using a very different application. The Final Cut Studio forum, which is for the application you're using, is here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_stud io
Give exact details of your media and sequence settings. It would also be good to know what kind of drive you're using and how it's connected.

Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk. My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standar

Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk.
My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standard Definition, now it just defaults to Standard Definition.(I'm using Apple's DVD Player)
Can I fix this problem?

Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
IOFireWireAVC.kext
IOFireWireFamily.kext
IOFireWireIP.kext
IOFireWireSBP2.kext
I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

IPhone 3Gs audio drift in Final cut Pro (but not qt player or imovie)

Is anyone else having audio drift issues with video from the 3gs when imported into FCP? We find that a 30 minute clip plays just fine in Quicktime player with perfectly synced audio, but when brought into final cut pro the clip has several seconds of drift over thirty minutes. This is before it's ever placed into a timeline, and the issue persists even if we transcode to prores 4:4:4 or any other codec. Issue duplicated in FCP 6 and 7.
Also, the movies are often brought in upside-down, even though they are displayed perfectly by quicktime player.
If, however, I bring the same clip into imovie and export it, the resulting clip has perfectly synced audio which works fine in FCP.
Essentially, apple's free tools seem to have no problem with iphone-captured video, but Final Cut, which is the pro tool, seems to have issues. Unless I'm missing some obvious (or abstruse) configuration step which is causing the problem.
Any insight greatly appreciated; everyone in our shop is stumped.

Shane,
Thanks for your response, though I don't really see the need for the condescending tone while offering no useful information. I'm aware that H.264 is not an editing format -- If you had taken the time to read my post more carefully, you would note that I have already transcoded the footage ("and the issue persists even if we transcode to prores 4:4:4 or any other codec. Issue duplicated in FCP 6 and 7"), so your suggestion "Use Compressor to convert it to DV." really doesn't help much. We've done so and the problem persists. Hence the post.
Incidentally, I have transcoded with quicktime player, compressor, and FCP. All preserve the audio drift. Interestingly, Imovie deals with it well, kicking out a file with perfect sync. My instinct is that it's a metadata issue (i.e. FCP is misinterpreting the actual framerate of the video) but I'm looking for any similar experiences out there.
As for "professional" vs. non pro hardware and software, I certainly don't expect the iphone to shoot footage or offer features that are comparable to those of a pro camera. I do expect it to properly encode quicktime files for use with any bug-free quicktime-based tool, of which FCP is the flagship example. Should aperture not be required to handle photos from point and click digitals because they are not "professional?"
It's a somewhat ridiculous position to take that Apple's video tool would not support their only video-capable device. There are many consumer devices supported by FCP (you've heard of DV, yes?) and the 3Gs (and, I would assume, the coming video-capable ipod touch) are no exception.
In short, this is clearly a bug, and I'm trying to run it to the ground in order to use the 3Gs within a production environment for a project requiring many mobile devices uploading video from wifi connections around the world. If you have any useful information to offer, I'm all ears.

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.

Audio problem with Final Cut Pro x. (New to x)

Hello,
I recently switched over to Final Cut Pro x and am just now starting to get adjusted. I just ran into this problem and I'm having trouble solving on my own. Here you go...
I just imported a bunch of video into my "event" and went through and logged everything. Everything sounds fine until I drag my clips onto the timeline. Once I drag them down the audio gets lower and sounds very muffled. Does anyone know what would be the cause of this?
Thanks!
Clayton

What are the exact specs of the original media? Open in the QT player and report what it says in the movie inspector.

The sample audio files in Final Cut Pro X will not play

How can I hear the sample audio in Final Cut Pro X without dragging the clips onto the timeline. They used to play, but stopped after the computers were connected to Tenaka.

The only way to test it is to go to Network system prefrences and switch off all connections to networking. There are no plugins for FCP that are used for network connections.

I cleared out a movie I made in final cut pro, now fcp will not open completely, I get the logo with all the names running through but never get timeline, browser or anything else? Help!! Larry

I removed a movie I had made and now when I try to open final cut pro, all the stuff shows up with the names, etc, but that is it, I don't get anything else, and, final cut does not show at the top of my computer. I have the 27 inch iMac with the intel processor, any help will be appreciated. Larry

Sounds like you may have deleted more than just the movie file. It the FCP application in the Applications folder? if so, try launching from there. If not, you'll neeed to uninstall the app completely using this: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/ then reinstall from the original install discs.
You may want to first try trashing FCP's preferences.

Using Waves audio plugins in Final Cut Pro

Does anyon know how to use presets for Waves plugins in Final Cut Pro. The plugins show up, but don't have the graphical interface or the ability to apply presets (to my knowledge) maybe there is a workaround?
otherwise can anyone reccomend a good workflow possibly with soundtrack?
Thanks.
BZ.

Real? You mean as in Real Player? Those don't work in FCP...they aren't an editable format.
Mac the Ripper? This converts DVDs to Real movies?
Google MPEG STREAMCLIP. It decodes MPEG-2 files into DV and a more workable format.
And also look into DVDxDV. It can convert NON-COPYPROTECTED footage to an editable one.

Export markers from Final Cut Pro X to DVD Studio Pro

Hello,
After finding out how to create chapters via markers in Final Cut Pro we wonder how to export these markers to DVD Studio Pro without having to create ourselves a .txt file and writing the names and the times of the markers in it to export it to DVD Studio Pro. Isn't there a way to make this happen automatically?
Unfortunately the new version of Final Cut Pro doesn't have an export to Quick Time Player and this is why this kind of solution falls out and we really need to create the markers first in Final Cut Pro and not directly in DVD Studio.
Is there a solution?
Thank you.

At present, you cannot add chapter markers in FCP X.
If you send the project to Compressor, you can add chapter markers there, or you can add them in DVD SP.
You can add the chapter markers in Compressor or DVD SP manually, or if you create a text file listing the exact timecode positions (from FCP X storyline) where you want the chapter markers to be (each on a new line) Compressor (or DVD SP) will automatically insert the markers when you point it to the text file.

Trouble sharing a Final Cut Pro project to DVD

Hi, I'm using Final Cut Pro Trial. I want to burn a project to a DVD. When I tried to do it the following error appeared after some time:
"The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)"
Can anyone help me? Is there another way I can get the video to a DVD?
Thank you.

Hi Al
I deleted the render files and gave it another shot. It completed around 40% and then the same error pop out. I tried it two times with the same results.
Do you have any idea whats going wrong?
Thank you

How can i get my Imac, running OSX 10.6.8 with a 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, how can i get Final Cut Pro 4 and DVD studio pro 2 to run on it?

I just bought an IMAC running OSX 10.6.8 (not sure what flavor that is). The processor is 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo (Late 2006). When i run Final Cut Pro 4 on it I get the following error.
                    "Configuration error
                       This software requires certain hardware or software which is missing
                                * AGP graphics Card"
If Final Cut Pro 4 doesn't run on my system, what version of Final Cut can I run on this as I am a filmmaker and really am comfortable with Final Cut Pro.
On the same note I also have DVD studio Pro 2 and that just quits without any message.
Hope any of you can be some help.
Thank you,
Doug

This is my first mac in a long time so i'm not sure about what this mac is as i didn't buy this from apple (ala Amazon). I'm a tad confused about the Intel/PowerPC thing. I do know the software version for sure, but the Intel/PowerPC is very confusing. I just need to find someone who would know about this question. It doesn't say G5 on this computer. Thats my biggest confusion. Help Me...

Burning a DVD from Final Cut Pro X for DVD player

I created my video in Final Cut Pro X 10.1. I then exported it by "Share" to "DVD" and burned it to a Sony VDV+R disc. I needed 6 copies. Some worked when I put it in the DVD player to show on our TV and others said "Can't read disc" even though I followed the same process. What am I doing wrong and how can I export a video to a DVD to show on TV via a projector or DVD player. I am on a MAC OS X (10.9.2)

Ditto to Gary's comment.

Compressor (Audio Filter) at Final Cut Pro.

At Logic I used to use the filter Compressor to limit audio tracks(like soundtracks) while I needed
emphasize another audio (interviews,for instance). I saw at Final Cut audio filters a filter
called "Compressor / Limiter". I am not environmentalized with this filter at Final Cut.
What I want is limit the audio from a3/a4 while the interview plays in another track.
In what track do I need to apply it?
thx

Just dropping it onto the audio track won't do anything -you have to actively make some kind of adjustments by changing the values under the filters tab.
