audio drops out while ‘printing to tape.
Prolly a basic question so apolgies in advance…
I’ve always used DVDSP to make a DVD from FCP but recently tried using a firewire connected DVD recorder and the ‘print to tape’ function. Immediately after a rendered transition, the audio drops out for a second. I’m using the fastest macbookPro and the media is all on the internal harddrive.
it also does it when I am using the >view>videoplayback>all frames

Maybe just a bad render file.
Try toggling the on/off switch for that audio track and simply re-render it.
I have encountered that same problem before.hope that helps

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.
