  What could be my problem here?

  Posted by Mark Morache on August 27, 2011 at 5:57 pm

  I was editing in FCX, draggings clips around on the timeline, when suddenly the interface started getting sluggish.

  Specifically, the audio is lagging behind the video. I hit play, after a brief pause the video starts playing with no audio, then a few seconds later the audio kicks in, but a few seconds behind the video. The original file is good. I pulled out a backup copy of the media and the project from before the invisible cataclysmic event (whatever it was), so I replaced the event and the project… problem is still there.

  Files play fine in quicktime.

  Here’s an odd thing… the volume icon on my MBP is greyed out.

  Starting anyone run into this… I’m going to google.

  I’m calling it FCX. They took the “pro” out, so I will too.
  I’ll reconsider after the first upgrade.

  Figured it out… partially.

  I went into system preferences and looked at the audio output. Instead of internal speakers, it had “Premiere Pro” selected.

  I just put the trial of the creative suite on my MBP, and everything was running fine, suddenly this happens.

  Curious.

  Ok… I’m back to editing. Want to get this done today.
