Export in > out range?
Trying to export in-to-out range of a clip (like old Media 100 “export range”)…double click the clip in the timeline, in-to-out markers show up in viewer, but when I export, resulting file is the entire clip.
How do I export just the marked area?
(in a related problem, I am forced to use “export to compressor,” as when I simply export to AIF, resulting exported file is full of clicks and huge dropouts??!!! Bug?)

Do the In Out markers appear on the timeline? Because that’s where they should be, regardless of the viewer.

All you need to do is set the ins and outs on the timline then Export > Quicktime movie, no reason to tell it export the range like in M100. If you need to export the whilole thing, simply remove the in and out points.

If you need to only export the aiff of a timeline, Simply go to Export > Audio as aiff(s). Same in and out rules apply.

Unfortunately I get the dropouts and clicking when I “export to AIF” – bug???!!!

Are you audio sources aiff to begin with? It sounds like you are trying to use an mp3 in your FCP timeline. That is not supported. You will have to convert to aiff first BEFORE bringing the audio into FCP. Compressor does this lickety split. Open compressor and choose the 48k 16bit or 24bit aiff preset and submit.

No, using 44.1 aifs in timeline, and exporting to same. Trying to keep it simple just “export to aif” rather than “export to compressor” – but this is where i get the clicks, dropouts – tried diff. “quality,” mono, steroe, etc,a ll the same…
Ugh.

Hmm, haven’t seen that one before. Try deleting your audio render files then reexport.
Also, it’s best if your audio files are 48k and not 44.1 (also unlike M100).

The default FCP timeline is 48khz, so you are bringing in 44.1khz, converting to 48khz in FCP, then exporting 44.1khz. Three conversions going on there… Not good!!!
You can convert the audio before importing into FCP, or change the sequence settings before bringing the material into the timeline, but doing it the way you’re doing it now is not good. Most people convert using iTunes before bringing into FCP.

That was it – sequence settings. Thought I had already changed to 44.1 – it was set at default, 48kHz.
Just changed setting (no reimporting, converting, etc) and voila – exports without a hitch.
Thanks all!

For what it’s worth, it will be better for you to convert pre-import than to have FCP convert to 48k on the fly during output or have your deck do the 44.1 to 48k conversion.

Agree in most cases, but for this particular project I’m not getting files in 48k nor am I delivering in 48k – the entire workflow for this project from start > end is 44.1.
Web-based stuff… 🙂
