Audio slips out of sync
Hi.
Im having problems with my music in FCP. Im using .mp3 converted to .aiff with quicktime. When i drop the track down in the timeline, position it and play it back, everything works fine. But after a while, the track jumps to a different part of the song, one that is not even within my in and out points. The waveform looks normal as if nothings happened. The only way i found to fix this is to delete the track and bring it in once again and hope for nothing to slip. Is there any solution to this problem? And any way to avoid it?Thanks!
Im using:
Mac Pro
Leopard
2×2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
12 GB RAM
FCP 6.0.3
Quicktime 7.4.5
Blackmagic Decklink HD extreme
Editing from a internal 7200 disk. -

You might want to create a NEW AIFF 48kHz file from the original mp3 and try using the new one.
The one you are using now might be corrupt.
Also…
The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.
Next:
THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
“Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”Click the following link for instructions.

A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
There are versions for FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express) and a new one for FCP 5.Download these free Apple Scripts at

This is one FCP tip that has helped in solving hundreds of “odd” problems.
