Can anyone explain this?

Try putting the audio in the spot where you want it and then do a render all audio and see what that yileds. If it still isn’t what yu expect select Mixdown under the render selections and then see if that does it for you.

Hey David,

The audio render didn’t get it but the mixdown did… until
I changed something else, then I had to do it again.
According to the manual it discards the file and un-dims
the check mark.
Strange really, I have more heavily manipulated audio clips
than that, in more complicated sections.
I’ll have to add a post-it to remind me to render the mixdown
during the final play-thru check.

Thanks for your help,
Kindest regards,
T.

You might consider opening the Render Manager and deleting all renders for that timeline, and then rerendering all… You just might have a funky render file in there somewhere.

“Funky Render File”
Wasn’t that a song by Mott the Hoople?

When you were sick it took you 10 mins to respond,
So you must be better because it’s back to 5.

Render Manager it is….

Thanks again David,

I used to have that problem quite a lot on the program that I’m working on here. It drove me crazy, and then I changed the Real-time Audio Mixing (under user preferences) from the default 8 tracks to 14, and I never saw that problem again. That would happen if I had a bunch of SFX stacked on top of each other, especially with audio cross fades. Just like you said, when I would render out the stems to lay to tape, it was full of drop outs. Hope that helps.

Then I will do that also,
Thank you Richard.

Not only does it drive you crazy,
but it sometimes turns into
a competition between you and the
computer; the ultimate bad child.

I have to say it’s quite a humbling,
yet rewarding experience to ask for
and receive help from a knowledgeable

of the planet.

David,
Did the Render Manager thing, but it didn’t help.
Same dropped audio issue.
The only thing that works temporarily is the mixdown.
Thanks for the suggestion anyhow.
Just thought I’d let you know.

“Trash the FCP prefs”
Well there goes my nice custom interface layouts….
Thanks Alex

David, yeah I had it for 5 days once.
It started on a transatlantic flight; 8 hours of misery
in a confined space. It left me very weak.
