Merge audio to video clips, end of clip loses audio

This is driving me nuts. After merging audio and video clips, sync to slate using the in points, everything is in sync.
The audio is longer than the video itself. But WAY before the scene ends, the audio mutes. The waveforms are visable but no audio plays. It drop out. It happens to every merged clip I create. I don't use the out points either.
Anyone else have this issue??
If I take an alternate method to sync them in the timeline and create a clip from there, it makes a new sequence clip losing the scene and take metadata. That's not good. Is there a workaround?

It happens on every project and different formats. I do use FCP Rescue and that doesn't solve it. I did figure out a work around which involves a few more steps and is more time consuming. Maybe this can help find the problem. Here is the ridiculous workaround steps. We should send this to Apple.
The "--" are the extra steps.
To get a good merged subclip.
Open the audio file and add the 'in point' to the slate.
--Drag audio clip to the timeline.
--Drag the audio clip from the timeline to the browser window.
Merge with video.
Viola. Audio won't drop out. But the waveforms are completely off with the sound.
Next step is to open the merged clips and Make Subclip so you don't have that extra media in the beginning and end. And the waveform seem normal.

Applying an audio or video effect to multiple clips at once

Hi
Im an AVID user trying to transfer my skills onto FCP.
On AVID, to apply an audio or video mix to a number of cuts at once, you would mark an in point and an out point which encompasses the cuts you want to apply the effect to, then select "apply transition in to out"
Is there a FCP equivalent of this function or is it only possible to apply one effect at a time?
Thanks in advance.

Select the clips and use Modify>Levels. Or the keyboard Control-brackets to go up and down.
For your transition issue you need to do this

FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?

My synchronized clips (audio and video) have lost their compound clip icon after I bought the full version of FCP X, why is that?

I have noticed a few changes to my FCP workflow after installing FCPX from the trial version I had before. I've noticed that when I sync audio and video files together via Clip > Synchronize Clips.. the icon at the top left corner of the thumnail is no longer there as it was in the trial version. I also have to right click and select 'open in timeline' to work on the files. I much preferred clicking on the thumnail's icon in the event library and it opening up in the timeline. Also Stabilization is missing from my video effects! How odd.

I no longer have the trial version this is the point. Bought the 'release' version about 6 weeks ago. Still doesn't explain why the stabilization option randomly appears for some clips and not for others. Also would like to know if I can get the compound icon back on the thumbnails for synchonized clips.

One clip loses audio

I have been bringing in clips fine, but one drops the audio in the sequence. Any suggestions?
Thanks

as enzo suggests ... the facts of life are that every now and again, for no appreciable reason, a clip may capture with no audio or no video ... ghost in the machine... if you capture enough clips you'll get used to it.
i used to look after a station that captured vast numbers of clips daily ... every once in a while a single clip would be missing audio or video whilst hundreds of clips on either side, on the same or different reels, would capture with no problem ... at the end of the day its just a computer based system and errors do happen
its one clip out of many, just recapture, its not worth your time or trouble stressing out over it

Audio out of sync after splitting clips

When I import a video file into PE11, everything is perfectly fine and synced up. After I split the clip and merge it in several places (removing commercials), the audio and video for the later clips seem to drift out of sync by about half a second. The video and audio are always linked together so there's no reason for it to be drifting.
I am able to manually unlink the clips and shift the audio back into place, however, this is an annoyance. I've tried working with several different video formats and so far, no luck. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.

You are correct, I'm using a Hauppauge HD-PVR2 Gaming edition to record and it works great!
I had been using MP4 files at 1920x1080, 29fps, 48kHz audio, etc. When I record with the Hauppauge, it automatically sets up the file to accomodate the source. Tried switching to M2TS files on the caputre and it made no difference.
Project settings seem to match the source:
It's just very strange audio and video are both fine until I edit it. Plenty of horsepower on my PC too: i5 3.2GHz Quad-core, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA graphics card (forget the model), WIn 7 64-bit.
Thanks for the help!

Audio and video still won't link

Hi,
I have an ongoing problem with linking audio and video of all my clips. When I drop them into a sequence, both audio streams and the video are not linked. I select them all and go to modify 'link' and make a stereo pair, but they are still not linked!
How can I change the default setting for this please? I can only guess I have hit the wrong option at some point.
Olly

Stereo pairs have a pair of triangles pointing downwards on A1 and upwards on A2 displayed on the audio tracks.
Linked tracks have an underlined clip name in the timeline.
The linked and stereo pair adjustments are in the Capture Settings. Set them they way you want before you capture.

Audio and Video not in Sync (Decklink a/v)

Hello. No matter what I do, Soundtrack Pro's audio and video are not in sync. Audio always comes a slight bit later which makes working in STP really hard. I run STP with a Decklink Extreme, for both audio and video. Any tips?

well i had the same post. kinda. but yeah it is totally limited as a film scoring app, who would have thought. there isn't any way to offset the sync.
Logic would be your best bet, or Pro Tools with DV kit.

Synchronize audio and video over RTP

Hi all,
I am new in jmf. Please any one tell me, how to synchronize audio and video streams, when we capture thru audio and video capture devices and send it over network thru rtp protocol and receive at client side. How to syncnronize at client side? Please send me reply if any one have solution in jmf.
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know about how this is done? I'm doing a videoconference thing with jmf, QoS is a required componenet! So if anyone knows about how this is done, plz share with discussion! All I know so far is that I can buffer the incoming streams to some extend then call syncStart() to start the video with the starting time of the video!

Losing parts of audio clips while merging them to video

Hello,
This is my first post to this forum... I need some help with a newly installed Final Cut Pro 5.1.2. I usually edit with Avid and thus am not super familiar with Final Cut Pro.
Here's the thing: I have a problem syncing my separate audio and video clips together. Well actually the syncing part goes fine; I create an inpoint in the video and in the audio clip, merge them together using inpoints. What happens is a impeccably merged clip - except most of the audio is gone. The audio clip just ends way before it did the original audio file - you can see this clearly when dragging the merged clip into the timeline. It is always the end of the clip that is missing, and usually it is most of the clip's duration also.
What I'm saying is that when viewing a merged clip I get something like 15 seconds of perfectly fine material in sync and then usually quite soon after the clap the sound just disappears.
I have tried with several clips but the result is the same every time. I wonder whether it is some kind of setting somewhere that is causing this --- just haven't found it yet.
At the moment I'm yieldig the problem with the nesting feature but I really want to know what the problem with merging is.
This is kind of urgent so I am grateful if someone has any insight in this, or tips - I don't even know where I should start to look for a solution to this.
Thank you!
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hello
Thanks for a quick reply
Hmm, it seems that I am really clueless about Final Cut Pro..I am not really sure what multiclip editing means.
My audio and video are from completely different sources. I am syncing with the 'merge' feature. I mark inpoints to both of the clips in the viewer, then click them active in a bin. Then I click the 'modify' tab, then 'merge'. Then select 'by inpoints'. And this way I get a new clip in my bin that contains both the audio and the video.
This is helpful as I have a lot of material and I actually didn't even realize before your post that you CAN sync in the timeline... It does seem, however, somehow less convenient. (Is this a misconception?) I'm really not familiar with different syncing and linking options in Final Cut so I might be doing this the hard way...Is there another way to link video and audio clips to each other so that they appear as a single clip in the bin?
"When you lose audio can you unlink the two and drag you audio down to match?"
I only realised after your post how the linking function works - I am able to link and unlink clips on the timeline with no problems. That is actually what I'm going to do from now on if I don't get the 'merge' tool to work.
I am sorry that I sound like somebody who hasn't even read the manual...(Tried that). I am just really used to working with Avid and got this Final Cut Pro project with really short notice - I don't necessarily know some of the functions in FCP, as I don't even know to look for them. The merge tool resembles Avid's AutoSync and that's why I'm trying that first.
Also I am not a native English speaker so I might have explained my case a little vaguely, sorry about that.

MERGING AND SYNCING more then one audio and video clip?

Is there are way to select a bin of video clips and a bin of audio clips (DSLR with separate audio) and have Premiere analyze and sync them in batches like Avid. I have a mountain of audio and video clips, but with no rhyme or reason to the file name, no timecode, no slates, just waveforms. But without knowing which audio files go with which video files, it’s impossible (or least time-consuming).
Or do I have to use plural eyes or other synchronising program for doing that?
THanks.

Do the video clips have audio. That is, are you seeking to match A/V clips with audio-only clips? If so, then Premiere can do that. Select all the clips in both bins, right-click & select Create Multicam Source Sequence, and select Sync by Audio.
Whenever Premiere finds that two or more clips match each other but no others in the batch, it creates a multicam source sequence of just those clips.

How do I get my merged clips to reconnect with their audio?

I am on FCP 7 syncing audio and video with ProRes 4444 @ 23.98. I am merging clips into bins labeled according to their scene. Pretty straight forward.
We then decided to go to ProRes 422 proxy to edit on a smaller faster drive at a lower cost. I transcoded the footage to 422 proxy with MPEG Streamclip same frame rate, same dimensions 1920x1080.
Next I go to relink the footage. Audio relinks and gives me this message: (Keep in mind these are copy and pasted files on the new hard drive).
"Some attributes of one or more of the files you have chosen do not match the attributes of the original.... The attributes that differed are as follows:
- Media start and end
Would you like to try to reconnect them again?"
Video relinks and gives me the same message, but adds "reel" as another attribute.
I've seen these messages before and nothing has come of it so I didn't think anything of it at first. Checking all the individual audio and video clips. Everything is playing fine.
THEN I go to play my merged clips... no audio!? Double click a merged clip in the browser, clip plays in the viewer but NO AUDIO. Right click on the merged clip file, select Item Properties and format. It is recognizing the correct audio clip that should be playing in the info there. I drag the clip into the timeline and I can see the shadow of the audio and video clip but when I let go in the timeline only the video appears.
How can this be?? What am I missing??
I would be so grateful for any ideas you might have!

What happens if you control click on the audio clip in the timeline and choose "reveal in finder?"

I shot video on a Panasonic P2 and I'm trying to import the MXF files to Final Cut Pro but when I try to import, the only thing that imports is a blurry image of each clip. There's no audio and no video...how can I import MXF files into Final Cut Pro?

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

Video freezes at the end of clips.

Hi, I have encountered strange glitch. I have put many short clips into project, with straight cut, no transitions between. Some of clips doesn't follow seamlessly - video freezes for about 1sec at the very end of clip but I can hear audio from following clip and after that 1sec freeze video continues with audio. Therefore I "miss" that 1sec of video from the beginning of the clip. It happens only with some of clips and sometime I can sort it out with slight trimming. But mostly cannot.
What am I doing wrong there?

If you go into iMovie Preferences, make sure you select "Display Time Codes" as hh:mm:ss:frames.
By default, iMovie edits to the nearest 10th of a second, but by checking this parameter in preferences, you can edit to the nearest frame.
