    Okay, so I have been making videos for my school and they’ve been played at assemblies. I put the video I’ve made on a DVD and then they play it on a DVD player. The audio is fine on a TV, but when played over the speakers in assemblies/gyms/classrooms over the speakers, a lot of te audio goes fuzzy and when there is bass like in a song the audio goes really fuzzy too. What should I do to fix this and what should I export my audio as for these types of presentations?

    If the audio is fine on the DVD then something bad is happening in the sound system in the auditorium. It sounds like the mixer input being used has the bass cranked up which is causing the fuzziness and possible distortion. It’s also possible the wrong input channel is being used. I’d check this out with an av techie who knows the sound system. It’s also possible that the over-emphasized bass is on the DVD and that you don’t hear it on the TV set since that it may be rolling off the bass. Can you post an audio file from a portion of your video that has the problem? Just export an aiff from FCP. Then we’d be able to tell if your audio is at fault or not. If your audio is good the problem is definitely elsewhere.
