No Audio In FCPX Timeline, But It's In The Clip Window

I grabbed some video with my iPhone and imported it into FCPX. I'm ready to start editing, so I drag the clip into the timeline -- but there's no audio. Previewing the clip in the Clip window/area pays the audio just fine -- but I get nothing in the Timeline. I see the waveform, I see the meter moving like it should -- but no audio.
What am I doing wrong?

Luis! Hi, it's me again...the person with the conversion issues? Anyway, that has been solved thankfully. My new problem is what has been mentioned in this thread. Audio in Clip Viewer but not when dropped in the Timeline. I attempted the fixes suggested in this thread but I'm using FCP Version 4.0.1 (old, I know) and the steps given aren't the same. The first part of my project has audio in the Timeline...I'm guessing I clicked or unchecked something...I've looked everywhere and can't figure it out. Even pulled out the manual! Let me know if you have any suggestions and thank you in advance!
I have not used older versions in a while, but I guess you may have disconnected the little "a1" from the big "A1" as seen in the image below. Drag to reconnect them. If this is not it, then I can only suggest you ask this in the Final Cut Studio forum (or Final Cut Express forum - I imagine that is what you are using).

How can i hold a spot in a clip, let the audio continue for a moment and then resume the clip and audio together?

how can i hold a spot in a clip, let the audio continue for a moment and then resume the clip and audio together?

you want to use the retiming tool. you can select what you want to hold, then use the "Hold" command (shift-H) to create a single frame of a default duration, which you can then change to whatever length you want by dragging the retiming handle.
Here's the page in the help manual that describes the hold feature in detail:

My Camcorder shoots 24fps and I set my iMovie project at 24fps. But when I add the clip, it's saying that the clip is at 30fps? Am I doing something wrong?

But when I add the clip, it's saying that the clip is at 30fps? Am I doing something wrong?

Let me tell you this: don't worry about it.
No one is able to tell very easily if the video is in 24 or 30 fps. You can only see the difference between, like, 14 and 24 fps. Just dismiss it and move on. It's all fine.
(the only time that I personally need to make sure my camera is shooting at it's highest fps, is when I will be putting the vidoe into slow motion.)

Perfect audio in FCPX timeline, distorted after export to QuickTime mov

Anyone experiencing distorted audio with a QuickTime movie file exported from Final Cut Pro X? The audio sounds great in the timeline, but muffled and distorted after exporting it. Here's the kicker, I took that same file and opened it using QuickTime 7 and the audio is fine. I took that same file and converted it to a WMV file using Flip Player, and the audio is fine. So it would seem that the problem is the newest version of QuickTime (v10.4). If any of you have come to a similar conclusion, is there a way to remedy this? It's problematic because when I upload the file to YouTube, the distortion is present. Thanks in advance to everyone who can assist with this.
MY SYSTEM:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), 2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM
OSX Yosemite 10.10.2
FCPX v10.1.4
QuickTime v10.4

Hi Al,
Here are the steps I use to export:
From the File menu, I select 'Share' and select 'Master File'
In the pop-up dialog box I click on 'Settings' and select 'H264' as the CODEC
I open the rendered file with QuickTime Player and the audio is distorted.
I open the rendered file with QuickTime Player 7 and the audio is fine
I convert the exported file to a WMV file using Pro version of Flip Player. The audio in the resulting file is fine.
I'm no expert but this would on the outset appear to be a problem with QuickTime v10.4. I can't seem to find a way to resolve this. Thank you for your assistance.
FYI - the audio file for the project is pulled in to FCPX as an mp3 directly from the iTunes library via the 'Music and Sound' browser.

Audio visible in timeline but drops out on playback halfway through clip

I've been using Premiere Pro for a few years now and this has never happened to me before.
I am in the middle of putting together some long clips - anywhere from 3 minutes to 20 minutes long - and all of them worked fine except for the one shown here.
At the current edit point the audio drops out on playback. As you can see from the timeline, the audio is there. The rest of the clip prior to this point plays fine. Every other clip in the project plays fine. This particular clip loses its audio after 10:18 despite the fact that audio levels can quite clearly be seen in the timeline.
I am at a total loss. I've tried rendering, closing/reopening, restarting, re-importing ... everything. I hope someone else has a better idea.

Had the same problem and as solution used nero movie maker, where with sound was everything allright, and exported only sound. When exported a WMA format - premiere showed the same bug again, but when exported WAV format - premiere worked normally. It's not a 100% solution, becouse I had a 5.1 sound, that was converted into stereo sound.
Similary did with a videoclip, that could not import in premiere (premiere crashed) - via nero movie maker made ir from .mts to wmv with a little loss of quality.
Camera: Panasonic TM700
Software: Premiere CS4
File type: .MTS
It is a shame to such a expensive software
Update: these days I faced with this strange bug again and I had an idea to test whether this sound loss affects also exported media. I made a 20 seconds experimental clip and noticed, that there with sound is everything allright. So this sound loss is only in editing process and does not affect exported material.

Adobe Flash Player 10 when installed closes the whole computer as soon as it is selected to 'play' a video clip from U Tube or any other source, I have uninstalled it and the problem goes away but I cannot play the clip.any answers?

Adobe Flash Player 10, when installed, closes the whole computer when it is used to play any clip from U Tube or other source. I uninstalled it and there was no further trouble but, of course, I cannot view the clip. If I reinstall it the same problem persists. I have contacted my 'computer guru' but his comment is that many of his clients have the same problem but it appears to be a problem with Adobe however many other friends have put in the version 10 Flash Player and have no problems. I do not appear to have any other problems with the computer such as viruses etc and it is scanned very day for such items. I would appreciate any advice you can give as it is very annoying, thanks, RAB

Me too!
On both IE8 and Firefox. Win 7 32 bit on IBM T42 - 1GB ram.
Old laptop I know but the 10.1.x.x Flash Players worked just fine. Problem started with 10.2.152.26 flash player.
Now BBC TV live and iPlayer work just fine, however YouTube does not - audio but no video. Just a black rectangle where the video should be.
Right click to get the menu and "settings" is greyed out. However select the pop-out option and the video plays. Right click on the pop-out and "settings" is available. So deselect "enable hardware acceleration", close the pop-out and refresh the window (F5) and now YouTube videos play. Switch hardware acceleration back on and now they don't.
This video works fine with hardware acceleration enabled. http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/features/video/h264/
These also work. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/stagevideo.html
Something broken in 10.2, I think.

My Audio waveform doesn´t show up graphically in the arrange window

I´m just starting up new songs with a friend and I can not edit the audio files in the arrange window because the auido file appears like a straight line. The sound is fine, and during recording the audio is shown nicely graphically until I hit the stop button. Then the nicely graphically represented audio turns into a straight line. This phenomenon happened when I run the RME Babyface. Anyone have a suggestion how to solve this?

Audio Glitches on Timeline, but not when played in QT?

I had a client send me his project on a harddrive.
They exported a .mov file from FCP and it has no audio glitches when played with Quicktime.
But if i drag that file to a timeline and watch it through my DSR-25 to a NTSC monitor, it has audio glitches in certain spots.
Always at that spot though and if i watch the file in Quicktime, it plays fine.
All audio was exported originally out of FCP using Quicktime Movie with 48khz, 16 bit stereo so nothing needed to be rendered.
Seems like it has something to do with it going over via firewire through my DSR-25.
Has anyone else had this problem.
I can't make a Master DVCam tape for this master because of these audio glitches.
Thanks for any help,
Brian

I read a post about a user having this same sort of issue.
He said when he turns off his video layer, in my case just V1, the audio played fine.
Same with mine.
So it seems to be an issue with the video track playing with the audio track.
If i export it and bring it back in, will it just create that same audio glitch?
Guess i will have to try.
Anyone have this issue or similiar?
Thanks,
Brian

No audio in source monitor but it works on the time line

Hi
I just started to use a Canon XF300 and I have noticed that when I double click on a file and it opens in the source monitor the video plays but I get no audio. If I drop that same clip onto the time line I get video and audio.
Is there a setting I am missing?
Thanks
Dennis

Hi
Yes both Channel 1 and 2.
Also I just came across another funny thing. After opening the first clip in the source monitor I can not open any other clips unless I open them from the time line. Double click a clip in the time line so it opens in the source monitor and then THE SOUND WORKS! Weird.

Whenever i try to open a video it starts quicktime but can't open the actual window

It's only started happening recently but If i try to open a video, .mp4 for example, it opens quicktime and its shown on the dock and on the top bar but it doesn't actually open the window to play the thing. It just opens the app, nothing else. Does anyone know what could of caused this??

I think that VLC Media Player will play avi files.

(I-Pad) I have rent a v film and received a message that the movie will expire in two days but can't close the message window anymore, hence I have no access to any other program on the I-Pad anymore

I have rent a film and received a message from I-tunes that the film will expire in two days. Even though I have confirmed the message by pressing ok the message window is not closing anymore, hence can't use anz other program of the I-Pad 2 anymore. Does anzbody in the forum experienced anything similar? If yes what is the solution to it?

Quit all apps and restart the iPad. Then try the video in the video app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If by some chance you cannot go to the home screen, force quit iTunes by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then press and hold down on the home button until iTunes closes. Then restart the iPad as described above.

Looks that you need to open an iMacros sidebar.
Anything in View > Sidebar about iMacros?

I want to clear my browsing history but can't access the Firefox window.

My Firefox was set up by an IT guy to take me directly to ATT/Yahoo email. I can't clear history nor access a Firefox Screen to set that up, as per the tutorial.
How do I do that in my setup? Everything I try takes me to Att/Yahoo.

I have a new Dell I 7 laptop running Windows 8. As I said, Firefox was set up to take me straight to ATT/Yahoo email and I can't clear history when browsing or access a Firefox window to follow the tutorial.
Any help here would be appreciated.
