Audio Skip Out At End
Specs: Snow Leopard / FCP7 / MacPro / Quicktime Player 10.0
Problem: imported MP3 and when positioned in timeline in one spot the MP3 looses sound for one frame. If I take it out and replace in timeline, does the same thing. *Note: Does not skip in clip monitor.
Action: exported the MP3 as Apple Lossless via Compressor and made it a Quicktime. Imported and laid back in timeline. Still misses at the same spot. It is a music climax and right at the climax it goes dead for a frame or two. Weird.
Lowered volume in timeline to see if it was peaking – nope. still does it. ARGH.

Audio should always be PCM (aiff) 48k 16/24 bit. Using QT Player, VLC Player or other external player, does the audio play OK?

Yeah, it plays fine in the clip monitor. That’s the weird thing. This is I think 23.976 footage from a panny HVX200. not sure if i need to do something special on audio import? I know in Avid I used to have to set audio import by project, but Avid always made its own MXF or OMF files. Final Cut doesn’t seem to do that?

Frame rate should not affect this. Try trashing your audio renders and re-rendering. If you have many audio tracks then an Audio Mixdown would be in order: Sequence Menu > Render Only > Mixdown. It’s worth trying it even if you don’t have a lot of tracks.

Thanks John – how do you trash audio renders? Sorry….I’m new to Final Cut. In Avid I didn’t have to render audio when I put it in the timeline. But I’m assuming that is because on import it was converted to an aiff while Final Cut leaves it as MP3?

Found the render files and deleted them. Rendered again. Same problem. Did a mix down….same issue. Really strange!

Just to be sure, you need to change the mp3 outside of FCP. You can use QT Pro, MPEG Streamclip and other programs to do that. FCP rendering it internally won’t do it right. The only other thing I can think of is if the gain exceeds 0 and the audio clips, that could cause a dropout effect.
Have you trashed prefs and repaired permissions? If not, do that, too. There’s a tutorial about how to do that on the Cow.

That was it John…i brought the MP3 straight into Compressor, turned it into an aiff and imported that. Voila! THANKS!!!

I’m glad it worked.
