No audio track anymore in final cut pro timeline

Hi everyone,
God I feel dumb but somehow i shut off audio tracks in my final cut pro. I can see the previous ones down that I laid. But if I try to bring anymore clips into the viewer and then slide them down to the time line there is no audio that comes with it anymore. What button do I click to allow audio to pull down with the video on to the timeline. Weird.

Make sure you have the audio tracks targeted by using the patch panel at the left of the Timeline. Also make sure that the tracks aren't locked.

Final Cut Pro Timeline- finicky audio playback

I'm not sure what is going on here. After I've had final cut pro open for a while, sometimes a few hours, sometimes a few minutes, it starts having audio play back issues. It's really strange but sometimes it will only play back the audio of every other clip in the timeline. Sometimes it will play back all the clips but just the V/O or just the music track. And then if it happens to be choosing to play the V/O only and I pause and then un-pause, it will reverse and play the music but not the V/O and I can hit space bar as many times as I want and it will consistently alternate back and forth. I thought maybe I was pushing the system and after it rendered, this would go away. But exported all my timelines and burned a DVD, and the problem persisted. I've found that avoiding having more than one timeline open at a time helps (meaning I might be able to edit for several hours before the problem arises) but does not solve the problem.
I have an iMac 24" 2.8ghz with 4gb of ram and 30/500GB available.
I have yet to re-install final cut studio but it may come to that.
I don't even know what to search for in terms of troubleshooting or help online but if any one has seen this before or has suggestions, I would love to hear about it.
Thanks!

That sounds really weird.
The only time I've seen my system do anything near as crazy was due to a keyboard language change. For some reason my iMac, every so often, decides to slip into my secondary French Cdn layout. When it does, many of the key functions change, so when I think I'm doing one thing, I'm actually doing something completely different.
Any chance that something similar is happening to you and you are unknowingly toggling audio tracks on and off etc.?
If not, I'd definitely try trashing FCP preferences as a starter.

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!

Help serious Audio rendering issues within final cut pro

Hello
I have some serious audio issues I am using Final cut 6.05. Here is my problem I am putting a AUParametricEq filter on my audio due wind noise etc. Anyway when i play it back on the time line it plays fine no problems but as soon final cut renders the file say for mastering to tape. at some point at the audio the audio goes all haywire, popping sounds or the audio just repeats it self at one frame or i can here audio from other parts of the timeline. And it just happened before i never had the issue. Is it the update. Hope anybody can help as I need to master about 6 projects to tape to clean my harddrives and all 6 projects have the same issue.

Are your audio files AIFF 48K 16 bit?
In regard to trashing preferences you can download Jon's Prefence manager at this site

Final Cut Pro timeline items vanish

Put simply, anything placed into the timeline soon goes invisible so that anything beneath, such as the desktop, becomes visible and if I click on what should be a video clip, I'm actually clicking on whatever's beneath Final Cut Pro, which then gets selected instead. Basically like a cookie cutter effect.
Click here http://www.flickr.com/photos/46227266@N00/460849229/ to see what I mean
I reinstalled Final Cut Studio, assuming whatever had gone wrong would be fixed, but it hasn't.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Any suggestions are welcomed, as I need to use Final Cut Pro quite urgently.

Turned out it was ShapeShifter messing with my display settings. I'd forgotten I even had it. Once it was disabled, everything worked properly again.

Final Cut Pro timeline items vanish. OS problem?

Something strange happening when I use Final Cut Pro. I've looked for help in the Final Cut Pro forums but it's looking to be an OS problem.
Look at http://www.flickr.com/photos/46227266@N00/460849229/ to see what I'm talking about.
When I click on items in the timeline they disappear and become unselectable, revealing whatever is beneath Final Cut Pro, be it the desktop or whatever window is open beneath, and that becomes selected instead.
Any help?

Audio out of Sync - Final Cut Pro to Soundtrack and back

I have edited some talking head interviews in FCP 7.0.3
When I "Send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project" and then send back to Final Cut (by exporting an AIFF)
The audio is 9 frames shorter than the original audio. (The video is 06:29:12 long)
I have checked, and double, triple checked, and all audio is 48.0 KHz
Both timelines are Non-Drop Frame.
I have also tried the following when importing the XML back in to FCP
1. Leave Sequence Settings at "auto" with "Override with settings from XML" selected
2. Change Sequence Settings to "Apple ProRes 422 1920x1080 24fps" with "Override with settings from XML" de-selected.
I have looked and looked through forums and haven't found any real solutions, please help

Apparently, fcp can have a problem with imported audio files if the easy setup frame rate does not match your sequence frame rate.
I've seen this reported as well.
I actually created a new project, set up the "Easy Set Up" to match and ran into the same problem.
Initially the Music Tracks I used were a different audio rate (44.1 vs 48) but I converted those as well.
I'll have to chalk this up to user error, but I've truly been over this project with a fine-tooth comb so many times.
In general, it doesn't seem like there should be so much issue going from Final Cut to Soundtrack and back.
When I get some down time, I'm going to completely recreate this project from
scratch and see what happens.
Thank you so much for your time Michael.

Audio is fine in Final Cut Pro but too low in Soundtrack Pro.

ok here goes! I'm using STP to clean up audio, road noise, fan noise, little buzz, and so on. I have a problem; the play back audio is low, so it makes it hard to hear to clean it. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm using a G4 17 power book, with final cut studio. I have done all of the upgraded as far as I know. Anyone have any ideas. The volume is very loud on the time line. The problem is when I send the clip toSTP from FCP. I right click and the window opens and go to send to STP audio project it ask me save or rename the clip. The clip opens in STP, I hit the play button and the volume was fine in FCP is now too low to hear in STP. It seems to play well if I send it to STP mulititrack file project. However when I try to send the track to audio file project. the audio is so low that it unusable. Help

Hi Lorenzo,
I haven't encountered this problem, however it sounds to me as though the waveform editor is sensing that the incoming signal is too hot & is automatically pulling down the gain to compensate and overcompensating to the point where the audio is barely intelligible.
What I would suggest you try is:
Select All Command (Apple) A then
Shift Command L. This gives you a window that allows you to boost the level. As the signal is so low, try 100%. If the signal is still too low do the same again. The Adjust Amplitude Filters will appear in the Actions List to the left of the Waveform. This is a nondestructive process & each Adjust Amplitude can be toggled on/off by unchecking it so that you can do a before & after comparison.
All the best

Audio levels low in final cut pro 5

my levells seem low in final cut, tho the master fader of the audio mixer is set to its default zero. I know they are low too because i made omf files from my time line having boosted the levels, which still had to be boosted considerably in the final mix suite. The audio levels on the camera tape were recorded fine. can anyone help?

The audio clip beeps if it is not in the standard format for FCE.
The standard format is PCM Stereo 16bit integer 48kHz.
If the audio is not standard you must render the clip in FCE (Render Only/Item Level or Render All/Item Level) before editing.
The best way in any case is to import audio already standard.

I can not export anymore? final cut pro x

i used to be able to export but i can seem to do it anymore (10.0)

You are using 3 year old version of FCPX you must upgrade to the latest version. 10.0 does not work with Mavericks. Did you buy your copy from App Store ?

Final Cut Pro Timeline Appearance ?

Hey guys,
I was looking on some websites and I found this screenshot, and i was wondering how to get the timeline too look like the one in the image..
heres the link to the image: http://img23.imageshack.us/my.php?image=finalcutstudio.png
thanks guys !

I believe David's correct.
Quick note to add to your answer...
You can move the windows around however you want and once you get them in a position you like...
hold down the OPTION button and select WINDOW - ARRANGE and then select one of the custom views. This will set it so you can always go right back.
Good luck,

Soundtrack Pro and Audio already altered in Final Cut

I'm just getting my feet wet with Soundtrack Pro. I have a project that was edited in Final Cut Pro, including keyframes to adjust audio levels in specific places in the audio tracks. When the project is sent to Soundtrack Pro, the changes that were made in Final Cut Pro seem to be ignored. Is there something I'm doing wrong here, or are audio alterations made in Final Cut Pro not passed on to Soundtrack Pro? I'm using Soundtrack Pro version 2.0.2 and Final Cut Pro version 6.0.5.

Syncing audio in Final Cut Pro X doesn't create a compound clip

I just had a quick question that hopefully someone can help me with. I was shooting some video with my Canon t3i the other day, and I record audio into a Zoom H1. I imported all of my audio and video into Final Cut Pro X and I wanted to syncronize the clips, so I chose the video and the correct audio to go with it, and I right clicked them, and chose syncronize clips.
Now, my question. On every example I've seen of this, syncronizing two clips creates a compound clip which would be great, but when I choose syncronize clip, it just creates a new clip of the video with both audio files apart of the video. It's not a compound clip at all, it's just a video file with two audio channels, one with the cameras audio, the other with the Zoom H1 audio. When I go to shut off the cameras audio channel and just leave the Zoom H1 audio, my video starts to skip and just goes black, yet the audio plays fine...
I guess I'm just looking for help, is there something wrong that I am doing when I am trying to sync these clips? Are there certain file settings that I should have? My video is recorded in 1080p with 24fps, the audio is recorded in WAV format. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
