AIFFs and AIFCs?
this is really an iMovie question, but since there is no iMovie forum and the audio in question is being used in FCP, i hope this will be okay.
i had been converting m4p audio files to AIFFs in iMovie, and today when i did it they were converted to AIFCs. they play fine in FCP, but just wondering if any of you knew if “they” (whomever “they” are) changed the naming convention? i still used “sound to AIFF” out of iMovie, so i’m assuming it must be the same type of file…
thanks for helping out a bonehead!

AIFC is “AIF-Compressed.” Can be compressed between zero and 6:1. Read and used as any AIFF file.

If you wanna step away from iMovie (which eventually will be a good idea) try using Quicktime Pro to export. it works great, super quick and effortless. Also, if you get Flip4mac you can export WMV’s right out of quicktime.

I have been having the same problem in FCP 6. I am trying to export audio from the timeline as an aiff file but it keeps coming out as a aifc.
I go to Export-Quicktime conversion choose AIFF but it comes out AIFC, then I tried going to Export-Send to AIFF’s and that comes out as AIFC as well. I have check all the settings I have also tried exporting it from Quicktime but still get the same AIFC file.
I have never had this problem before…did something happen in an update?
