Are you sure it’s an aiff? What sample and bit rate is the file?

I’d also say that this file is behaving like an mp3 (or other incompatible file-type) in FCP.

I’d convert the file in iTunes.
QT PRO works fine… but iTunes is also a simple ready process after the initial set-up presets:
iTunes > Preferences > Importing > AIFF> Custom > 48.000 kHz, 16 bit, Stereo >OK

Once these are set, you won’t have to set them again.

Put a CD in the Mac (or use a imported audio file that’s already on the HD), open it up in iTunes, click once on the track you need, and choose:
Advanced > Convert Selection to AIFF.

Works VERY fast and stores new 48 kHz file in the iTunes library. You can just “drag and drop” this new file (.aif) onto your open FCP Browser.

That worked. Thanks alot.

It said the file that kept messing up was an .aif. the only difference was it had a 44.1 khz sample rate. I changed it to 48 and it worked perfect.
