Audio drop out when open FCP3 proj in FC EX 5
I opened a project in Final Cut Express 5 that was originally created in FCP3 and everything was fine except the music track had frequent drop outs. Has anyone had this problem?
I’m wondering if it could be because the music track was an import instead of a capture. This is work I’m doing for someone else, and I don’t have the software at home, but if anyone has any suggestions, I can try them tomorrow at his house. I really need to get away from his old FCP3 painfully s l o wwwww computer.
Thanks!

If you open the audio file in QuickTime, how does it sound?

Hi, Russ, just got home and read this. I’m not sure what you mean by tho – the original audio file or the imported file before it goes to the timeline? I guess those are good things to look at since I’m going there tomorrow. Unfortunately, I’m still kind of new at this, and have more experience with Avid, anyway. I’m not even sure I’ll be able to figure out how to open it in qt from fce – unless you do mean open it before it’s imported. I’ll try a bunch of things if I can.
I’ll let you know what happens. I’m hoping that it’s just something to do with the import and if the guy can find the original audio file and I can re-import it into FCE 5 it will work.
Eternal optimist that I am 🙂
Thanks for the help,

Open the file in QT before you import it into FCE. That way you can tell if it is a bad audio file or an FCE problem.

Success! Before I got a chance to try your recommendation, we just copied everything to a new timeline and woohoo it worked. Guess it was just a corrupt timeline.
Thanks Russ,
Sharon
