  • Final Cut corrupts projects?

    Posted by Dick Avery on August 15, 2013 at 6:58 pm

    Hello, everyone! I desperately need a solution to one problem, so any help would be appreciated.

    I got a project and its backups. Video 1080p/25fps. Audio 48/16. All audio files were converted to 48/16 before import to Final Cut. Sequence settings and easy setup are matched to clips on timeline, so there were no audio drifts. Untill today, when i opened a project and all audio suddenly became out of sync. i opened backups, same thing. Once again, it didnt happen before. But suddenly all projects that i open in final cut becomes corrupted. Some audio clips out of sync radically, some in sync. It seems randomly and i cant find any pattern.

    Modifying exported xml and importing back doesnt do the trick, because in xml everything set to 25fps/ntsc-false.

    Deleting render files and render again doesnt help either.

    Where should i start to troubleshoot the problem?

    Thank you!

    try deleting FCP preference. It’s a strange behavior.

    Digital Rebellion is your tool. It’s worth buying. It’s also good for a lot of other things.

    cheers

    i tried digital rebellion utilities, trashed preferences, removed final cut and all its preferences and renders, reinstall, noting helps. same thing. everytime i open a project or its backups, there are a lot out of sync audio clips. But a couple of days ago those projects opened correctly and there were no out of sync issues.
