  Lost audio after about a minute in .mov export??

  Posted by Tim Vining on August 4, 2006 at 1:23 am

  I suddenly have a problem when I export my project to an uncompressed QT .mov file, the video plays fine when I play the .mov file, but the audio cuts out completely after about a minute. Any ideas??

  Thanks–Tim

  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 similar) 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.

  Sorry to ask the obvious, but what does your audio do in the timeline after 1 minute? If it plays, then I would trash all of your audio render files and try exporting again.
