    Does the audio “quit” in the same spot every time?

    Yes the audio quits in the same spot every time. There are probably five or six spots throughout the whole sequence where this happens. Even when I delete the problem audio clip and leave the rest, it still gives the same error message. When the ENTIRE audio portion of the sequence is deleted then the error does not pop up. I did not have this problem until I tried to upgrade to 10.4. The upgrade did not take though, so I am back on 10.3. The system info is G4 with 2GB ram, running FCP4.5.

    Would an upgrade to FCP 5 do the trick?

    Sorry for the delay in my reply. Have been out all day.

    First, try deleting all your audio render files because if the glitches happen in the same spots each time then it’s most likely a file corruption. Deleting the audio render files will be the fastest way to find out if that’s what the problem is. FCP will simply re-render the files again. If you want to go all the way then you could also delete the video render files at the same time. It may take a bit of time for FCP to re-render those files too, but then you’ll know that at least the render files are not the culprit anymore. If you’re still having problems then it has to be either a corrupt video or audio source file. You may end up having to delete a problem source file with a new file from your video/audio source media tapes, etc.

    While you’re trying to figure it all out keep in mind that problems that occur in the same spot every time are almost always because of a file corruption somewhere.

    Hope this helps.

    This is what I did…I had an audio filter on some of the clips. The error notice was popping up on one/two clips before the filtered audio clip. Once I found this out, I deleted the filter from the clip and everything played fine. I then put the same filter with the same parameters back onto the problem clip and still it played fine. I don’t know why but that worked. In case you are aurious the filter I was using was the AUGraphicEQ. Thanks for your help!
