    OK, I took some AIFF files off of a cd, copied them to the computer, copied them to my project folder, and imported them into Final Cut. I then tried pulling the portion of the song I wanted to use into the timeline and it won’t let me.

    Has anyone else had this problem? I am a newbie on Final Cut, switching over from Premiere Pro on PC to Final Cut on a Mac.

    Let me know what you guys think.

    CD audio is 44.1k ur project is probably 48k, Normally this won’t stop u from importing/playing, just creates the need for rendering.

    Launch, soundtrack pro, bring in audio tracks and one by one export them to

    a new file; 48k, 16bit, stereo

    and then bring those into FCP.
    Should cure the problem.
