  • Audio drop outs on export

    Posted by Jappemans on August 28, 2007 at 1:21 am

    Hey guys,

    I am encountering some problems with exported movie files in fc. I found some clics in the soundtrack after exporting. After investigation I found out that it was not the sourcetape, after capturing also perfect sound. Frames are dissapearing in the audiotrack???? I export uncompressed dv-pal. What are the best settings for internet use?

    I am working with a G4 450/fc express 2.0. FC is working flawless on this system.

    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 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.
