  • Audio Problem with mp3

    Posted by Ed Stevens on December 2, 2005 at 11:00 pm

    My SYSTEM

    MAC dual G5 2.5 gig. 4.5 gb RAM. OS 10.3.8
    Blackmagic Decklink Extreme card v4.8b
    FCP 4.5 production Suite
    1 300gig scratch disc
    500GB G-Raid Firewire800
    Decks = Beta-SP, DVCpro, DigiBeta.
    Audio Mix = Mackie 1604 VLZpro
    I believe I have the stock display card
    Panasonic AJD-230H DVCpro deck

    I just received a narration in mp3 format. It plays fine in itunes. Once I take it to the timeline in FCP, it breaks up. Any ideas what could be wrong?
    Thanks in advance, ED

    FCP doesn’t support .mp3. Convert it to .aiff or .wav and you’ll be fine. You can do that in iTunes. The .aiff anyways, and that’s the route I’d go.

    IMHO it’s a sad, sad oversight on the part of Apple.

    This was not an oversight. Believe me, it was a calculated decision.

    Make sure you convert it to an AIFF file at 48kHz.
