Audio Drop outs in Export to AIF
This is killing me. I’m exporting the audio from a sequence (with several nested sequences in it) to AIF (to then convert it to an AC3 for DVDSP) – and whole sections of the audio are dropping out in the AIF export. Also – it drops out in different places when I re-export. About the only thing I know for sure is the drop outs occur on edits, and the audio comes back in on edits.
I’m using FCP 4.5
Help!

There is a function in FCP that is often overlooked… and it can help with many audio and video “skipping”, “sticking” and “missing” problems.
You should “Mixdown” the Audio for playback before you dub out of FCP, or during the edit, if you have audio/video stuttering, drop-outs, sync-slippage, or freezes.
NOTE: Mixdown has even been demonstrated to help with slipping, skipping problems (or “missing” audio clips) for files being EXPORTED as QT (or AIFF) files out of FCP.
First, SELECT ALL of your audio tracks (highlight them) on the timeline, then:
Sequence Menu > Render Only > Mixdown.
You should see a dialog box telling you its rendering.
It might seem to make little sense that “Mixing down” even simple audio tracks will “fix” complex video “freezes” or random audio dropouts to tape or export, but it CAN.
NOTE: It does not matter of you only have one audio track, if there are random freezes during output, you should try the Mixdown.
