FCP 4.5 audio not imported
Here’s my situation I have some video that was captured in FCP 5 (firewire DV) that I want to use in 4.5 however when I import the clips not all the audio is there. This could be a quicktime issue I’m not sure.
When I import the clips into 4.5 it tells me the audio is a mono and there is no audio on that mono channel. When I open that same clip in quicktime (7.1.6) it plays fine and all the audio is there. When I go under properties I see the clip has a video track, a timecode track, and sound track 1 and sound track 2. When I highlight the sound track and look under the audio settings it says 1 channel assignment mono. It says the same thing for sound track 2.
When I open a clip that was captured in 4.5 in quicktime and go under properties I have a video track, a timecode track, and a sound track. Under sound track audio settings I have channel 1 assignment left and channel 2 assignment right.
For some reason I don’t think FCP 4.5 is seeing anything other than one sound track property. Is there any way of getting them to import correctly?
I also have some clips with 4 channels of audio that I media managed to DV and when I import those into 4.5 again I’m getting mono 1 channel audio.
The files play fine with the audio in every app (AE, IMovie, soundtrack pro) except FCP 4.5
FCP 4.5 running on a G4 1ghz 1.12g ram. (Yeah it’s an old machine, but it cuts DV just fine). OS 10.4.10, quicktime 7.1.6. Running version 1 of FCS except FCP because version 5 wouldn’t run because I don’t have a quartz extreme graphics card.
Any suggestions

Did you ever work this out ?

Not really, but I did find a work around although it was tedious.
I exported each of the audio tracks out of quicktime. Imported the clips into final cut and and linked with the video. I also had to re insert a lot of edits to get the audio in.
Each clip had 4 audio tracks that I needed to export and link.
I’m assuming that FCP 4.5 is not wholly compatible with the current quicktime version.
