FCP7 – A1 not playing.
Hey all, I’ve searched the forums and found several threads that were similar. I have tried everything I can think of plus the suggestions of some posters out here.
So, all of a sudden, Final Cut decided to stop playing my narration track (A1). A2-A6 play just fine.I have tried these things (to no avail):
• Restarting FCP
• Restarting my Machine
• Shutting Down My Machine
• Trashing FCP Preferences
• Ensured that the Audio is All 48k/16bit (wav)
• Ensured that my audio clips are not muted, disabled, automated, or turned down in the audio mixer panel
• Ensured that my audio files play in the Viewer/Source Monitor
• Moved the audio to a different track
• Disconnecting and Reconnecting MediaPlease help! Is this a corrupt FCP file or is there something I’m missing?

does the narration play when it is on A2 to A6?

Nope, that’s what I meant when I said I moved it to another track.

sorry, i didn’t see that.
odd. try opening a new project and importing the VO material into it.

Check to see if you accidentally hit the Clip Enable keystroke command sometime for that particular clip … select the clip and then go to the Modify menu and try the Clip Enable command to see if this fixes it …

I discovered the issue. Appears to have been some Media Reconnect issues FCP wasn’t letting me know about. I had all the source files backed up on an NTFS drive (originally on a mac OSX journaled drive). When I reconnected everything with the backup drive (same file/folder structure) apparently the narration stuff went AWOL – even though it appeared as connected and displayed waveforms.
I opened it today and it prompted me to reconnect and then everything worked fine. I had to click reconnect on the file in the timeline before it would work, but it played the audio just fine.
Thanks for the suggestions!
