Audio in QuickTime Player but not in FCP or AE
I digitized footage off of a Panasonic 1200A deck via Firewire. The audio was showing in the meters around -12db. I used the DVCPROHDp24 Easy setup. The video looks amazing however I am not getting any audio in FCP. It won’t play in the clip window and when I create a timeline in the same easy setup it won’t play there. I even tried forcing a render. I open the Quicktime movie out of Capture Scratch and the audio is there. I also tried bringing it into AE 7 and the audio works fine. Help. Any thoughts? I really need to start editiing this. Thanks, Randy

Is the deck your using in FCP have speakers? Can u hear audio if u monitor through the computer? Can u see audio bars in FCP when u play? Can u see a waveform in the viewer window?

When I digitzed the footage I did it in the office on a G5 running FCP Studio HD. When I was playing it into the system I saw the meters kicking up to about 12db. I brought the files home and I am trying to bring the clips in on my laptop running FCP HD 4.5. I can play the clips in Quicktime pro with audio and I can play them AE with audio but when I import them into FCP…. NO AUDIO. I threw my prefs out. Did nothing. If I look at the clip by itself and open up the audio channel it is a straight line with no waveform. I don’t get it. Very strange. Randy

So you captured with the LATEST version of FCP? Because FCP HD technically is 4.5.
But, to be clear, you captured with the latest version of FCP, and try to play it on a previous version of FCP? I don’t think that the older version will recognize the newer version capture. I have heard of this before. QT will, but FCP won’t…

You are correct. Bit if the version in FCP Stuido is the same version as 4.5 shouldn’t it work. That would really stink if it won’t. Hmmmm

If both versions of FCP are the same it should work.
Dunno why it doesn’t…that is a puzzler.

I a project can’t go backwards but I figured the Quicktime movies should be able to. Doens’t make sense. I will have to check the version when I get back to the office Monday.

Ok, so I went into AE and rendered a clip at the same exact codec and used 48k audio and it played fine in FCP without needing to be rendered. What is up with that?
