  Audio playback mystery with FCPX and Compressor

  Posted by Bill Code on August 15, 2016 at 2:06 am

  Hi all.

  I recently updated to final cut 10.2.3 and osx 10.11.6 on the same day.

  I have been editing last week h264 footage shot on a c100. I created a share/send to compressor (4.2.2) default and output some h264 video with aac audio; 5 mov files from the same shoot.

  They all played back smoothly and I sent to the client.

  But three other people I am filing to all say that the audio is cutting out at certain demarkable points on their macbooks – 3 of the 5 files, in fact, at a couple of points (always the same point), before playing audio again.

  I am stumped. I’m totally unable to replicate. I uploaded one to vimeo and played the file – it’s fine. I redownloaded one from dropbox (where I had filed it to them) on the tiny chance that was the issue…and it played too – both quicktime player and VLC

  What the heck’s going on? Has anyone had anything like this? The only thing I can think of is that through the software I have on my machine some codec in the depths of the file will play on my machine but not elsewhere…but that sounds wack anyhow. Any ideas??
