  • exporting audio from final cut

    When I export audio or video from Final Cut Pro (6), and then I import it back into the exact same timeline, it is a little shorter than the original audio that I exported. It starts of synched, but then is a little shorter by the end. The audio clips are 16 bit AIF. The video sequence is 1920 x 1080 24 fps Apple Pro Res 422. I have the sequence settings set to 16 bit, however in the browser it reads as 32 bit floating point for that sequence, I don’t know if that’s the problem.

    Any ideas?

    Are you exporting the audio as the same hz? It sounds like you are exporting 44.1 Khz audio as 48Khz. Don’t confuse the sample depth for the audio (usually 16 or 24 bit) with the video bit-depth – they are independent.

    Are you exporting the audio as a quicktime or as an AIF or WAV? Try exporting it via ‘export quicktime’, not ‘export via QT conversion’.

    Hope that helps.

    I’ve been keeping the HZ consistent, all 48 KHz. And, I’ve been exporting using the “audio to AIFF(s)” option. I tried export quicktime and just exporting the audio, but I experience the same issue.

    That’s what the problem has to be, because on a five minute track, the audio is off about 6 frames.

    Somewhere there must be a drop frame misinterpretation. If I set a sequence to 24 fps, does it actually mean 23.98? And even so, if I export an audio clip set to the same framerate, shouldn’t it work out?
