No sound on clips when importing video in Final Cut Pro X

I recently got a new Mac Pro tower and installed Final Cut Pro X in it. I have imported 4K media into my library and since the footage was located in the same drive, I left the files in place and created proxy media to make the editing easier and faster. But every time I try to do a batch import, the video files appear to have no audio...the audio is missing within Final Cut Pro X.
Yet, when I look into the library files (in the finder, not through Final Cut) and find the transcoded proxy files, they do have audio.
I have had to delete the files from Final Cut, then re-imported them either one at a time or in batches of no more than five shots a a time. Very cumbersom and a waste of time.
Is there a fix for this?

Hi Russ. The video and audio were originally recorded with a Sony NEX FS700 R camera with its 4K Raw being transcoded to 4K Apple ProRes HQ by an Odyssey 7Q recorder.

Audio lost when importing MPEGs into Final Cut Pro

When I import MPEG files into Final Cut Pro 4.5 the audio disappears. When I play the clips in Quicktime the audio and video are present, after I import only the video is present. I have tried adjusting the sequence presets for MPEG, but that has not helped. Any advice? Thanks!!

HELP! My sound is distorted when I export from Final Cut Pro 10.3

How do I use Compressor 4.1 with Final Cut Pro 10.3? My sound is all distorted when I download! HELP!!!

You mean 10.0.3, I suppose. This is a VERY old version and it does not work in Mavericks; Compressor 4.1 is a recent version and maybe there is some incompatibility.
You should update to 10.1.1, but 10.1 introduced significant changes. Before updating, follow these excellent recommendations and tutorials from Steve Martin and Mark Spencer:

How to compress/adjust imported videos in Final Cut Pro and iMovie?

Left: what the video looks like when played in iPhoto or Quicktime (Dimensions: 960 x 720, Codecs: AAC, H.264) .mov
Right: what the video looks like when played in iMovie or Final Cut Pro.
SOS

the left shot is 4:3 (960/720)
the right shot is a 16:9 project (1920/1080 or 1280/720) with a stretched-to-fit 4.3 video.
If you want an un-stretched project, set it to 4:3 manually when you create a New project, or use the transform-tool and resize the video - which will add bars l/r or chops-off t/b of the video...
or use the Spatial Confirm settings in the Inspector ...

Permissions problem when importing file in Final Cut Pro X 10.1.3

Hi guys!!
Today, like all days, I opened up my Final Cut Pro X version 10.1.3 and created a new Library and new project. Then I selected "Import Files" and I checked all the files I needed. Last I clicked on import selected files and I received this error:
"Directory Not Writable. The chosen directory is not writable."
This is a real tragedy. I have to start an important project and I can't use the program at all.
This is what I tried so far:
- Checked Macintosh HD permissions - Done - No problems
- I use an external HD as my scratch disk - Checked - No problems
- Tried to create a new project on a new HDD - Same error
- Checked Read / Write permissions on Macintosh HD and on footage folders - No problems
This is my Mac:
- iMac 21,5" Mid 2011
- Core i5 2,7 GHz
- 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
- AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
- HDD 1TB
- 2nd External HDD WD My Book 3 TB USB 3.0
- OS Yosemite 10.10
I'm in panic. And I really don't know how to resolve this problem....
Thanks for every little help you will give me.
David

And you're using managed media?
Did you repair permissions for the drive?
What OS are you using? Did you update to Yosemite? Did you do a clean install?

Can't import iPad videos in Final Cut Pro X

Hello there, anyone knows if there are recent issues in importing iPad videos into Final Cut Pro X?
I follow the ordinary workflow, and it all seems ok but at the end of the importing process a "!" yellow triangle remains attached to the imported clip and this one can't be played.
Already tried to make a high quality conversionand/or a proxy, the conversion process seems to start but it doesn't go further than 0%.
Thanks in advcance for your help.
PS: the videos have been teaken with the "Video Pro" app an then exported to the iPad "film roll".
PPS: in the importing window the clips can be played normally.

Russ, I succeed in importing some files by transcoding them in a proxy one by one (that is not in a work queue). Some other files simply stops the rendering process and make it hang until the closing of FCPX. Thanks for your time.

Hi, i've made a video in final cut pro, the problem is that when i export it not the entire video is played, just the first 3 seconds

i made a video in final cut pro x. The entire thing isn't that long, however when it comes to sharing it only the very first few seconds are playe.
Thanks,
Jamie

What compression to use when Exporting HD video from final cut pro PAL setting

Hi there
I'm trying to export my HD video from Final cut Pro so that I can edit it in DVD studio Pro. I initially exported it on H.264 setting however it then gives me the message 'NTSC assets cannot be imported into PAL projects' It was edited with PAL setting so I think it must be the conversion but i'm not sure which option to use.....been really struggling to get the 1 hour footage under 4.5gb without losing too much quality...
Any advice greatly appreciated!
thanks

Just to add two suggestions.
1) Consider putting your four movies on two disks.
2) Bring your movies into Compressor and duplicate the stock DVD setting. In the Encoding pane of the Inspector, select a CBR and dial it back to around 6.2 to 6.5 Mbs. In Preview mark a small section and submit; you'll get 2 elementary streams, with m2v and AC3 extensions. Bring that into DVDSP and evaluate results. Adjust as necessary. (This is to avoid waiting out very long encodes and then having to start again from scratch if you get disappointing results.)

I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?

Hello everyone
I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. I've tried to repair it using DU, but it said I needed to backup all my data and reinstall the OS. How do I backup my data to an external drive?
And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?
Hope you guys can help me!

You need to back up 2 folders, Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects which by default are located on your Movies Folder. You can always check by clicking on a clip inside Fianl Cut X and selecting Show in Finder in the contextual menu for the selected clip.

I have the current Mac Pro the entry level with the default specification and i feel some slow performance when applying after effects on my videos using final cut pro and also rendering a video takes long time ? what upgrades do you guys suggest?

256GB SSD it shipped with will run low and one of the things to watch.
Default memory is 12GB also something to think about.

Burning a video from Final Cut Pro using iDVD

When I export and save my video from Final Cut Pro to a folder (export->Using Quick Time Conversion). When I do that there are several different videos that are saved in my folder (ie-Kelly Michelle; Kelly Michelle-av1; Kelly Michelle-av2; Kelly Michelle-av3; Kelly Michelle-av4; Kelly Michelle-av5).
iDVD is the program I need to use, I do not have any other programs. Therefore, I import the file to iDVD and once everything is ready in iDVD I try to burn the dvd. However, in the last stages of burning a window pops up and says that "an error was found during the burning process". It does not tell me what kind of an error it is. Does anyone have any advice or a step by step process that I need to do in order to burn my dvd successfully.

The simplest way to prepare a video for iDVD is to *Export/Quicktime Movie* (NOT Using Quicktime Conversion), select Current Settings, Audio and Video and, depending on your needs, other 2 options:
o- +Make Movie Self-Contained+ is preferred to have an independent movie (you can move the exported file, you can continue editing your FCP project before burning the exported version, etc.) but requires more disk space and more time for exporting.
o- +Chapter Markers+ (NOT All Chapters) must be selected if you created Chapter Markers in FCP (markers in the timeline, not the clip, and clicked the Add Chapter Marker button in the marker dialog).
The resulting .mov file (whether self-contained or reference) may be easily imported to iDVD.

How can I get MPEG-2 video into Final Cut Pro X?

Hello! I have several MPEG-2 video files on which I need to perform some edits. When I tried to import them into Final Cut Pro, I learned that Final Cut Pro can't import MPEG files. Okay, so I went into QuickTime and exported one as 720p. 20 minutes later, I had a video that I could load in FCP. Awesome. Except that when I watched the video, the audio was waaaaaaaay out of sync. So, is there a different way I could get this MPEG-2 video into a format that FCP will like while keeping video and audio together?
I would keep trying a few different things without direction, but these videos are like 90 minutes long and the conversion process is lengthy.
Thanks!

Although I looked up the equipment, I couldn't find what kind of MPEG2. I'm assuming program stream.
I don't know why you had the sync problem with QT. You could bring it into FCP and detach the audio and manually line it up it's off by a constant amount.
Or you can use MEG Streamclip. You will also need the playback component, which is $20. Follow the instructions on the Squared 5 site to install it. Streamclip is worth having even if you don't use it this time around.
Good luck.

Every time I drag a clip into the events library Final Cut Pro X crashes.

Every time I drag a clip into the events library Final Cut Pro X crashes. The import appears to have occured successfully despite the crash as it is in the folder when I reopen FCPX. But having to restart the program every time I import is annoying and suggests the program is deficient. The only imports I have tried so far are from iMovie, its sister program.

Have you tried dumping the preferences file, always my first item when issues arise in the FC family. Second, have you tried different file types? It could be a file issue, FCX not recognizing it (letting you import, but throwing up afterwards).

When sending job from Final Cut Pro to Compressor using local QCluster

When sending job from Final Cut Pro to Compressor by way of Share and using the local QCluster, the audio renders, but the video errors out saying something along the lines of Can not locate file.
If I use 'This Computer' it works fine.
What gives?
Fresh install of OS and FCS.
Thanks!

I'm just learning the intricacies of Compressor and Qmaster myself, but I have learned that when you use Qmaster you can not share directly from FCP. You must export a Quicktime movie (reference movie seems to be fine) and input that to Compressor. This is only an issue when using Qmaster, as you've seen.

Best Way to import items from final cut pro

I have recently edited a video in final cut pro studio 1 and them compressed the file for dvd studio. However when i came to look for my file it was as a quicktime movie that dvd studio could not see. ie when i came to locate the file i dvd studio it did not show up when other files had. I tried rebooting the program but alas it still could not find it.
Can someone tell me a better way or what i have done wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Paul Andrews

Best way is to export from Final Cut (either self contained or to Compressor) and then encode the video to m2v (using Compressor or other encoder) and audio to AC3 then bring those files into DVD SP

As to why the file is not being seen, are you sure you exported to the path you are looking at? Just try exporting to the desktop to make sure you know where it is.
If you have more details on the workflow it will help (such as how you exported, where to, what types of files, etc.)
