Final Cut Pro suddenly distorts audio!??
Hi
I have filmed much with my 7d using a juicedlink mixer and imported it into final cut pro.
Suddenly when I am editing the sound gets distorted and really high even though the sound waves look fine. It happens mostly in transitions on all my timelines. Here is a video clip of the phenomenon: https://enelesfilm.se/ovrigt/audiofail-desktop.m4v
Look at the audio meters 🙁 Why is it like this and how do I fix it?!
Thank you so much for any help! -

As it happens where there’s a mix it may be a bad render, so if you get rid of the mix and remake it, that might fix it.
-
what do you mean with the get rid of the mix?
This problem is totally random. I can play over a section many times and get either no distortions or many different sounding distortions on different places. Totally random! -
By mix I mean cross-fade. But if it’s random that changes my mind. Is the audio all at 48kHz?
I notice that there’s been a few threads about this kind of thing, so it could be worthwhile searching through them…

What format are the clips? ProRes with 48khz audio? or? What are your sequence settings?

It’s been a while, but a restart of the computer usually quells this for a while.

I have prores with 48khz audio but strangely some also are at 50050Hz.
Cant check the project right now but the Sequence settings should be ProRes LT 1920×1080 with 25fps and 48khz audio.I have had this problem with this project for some months now so restarts have been made countless times 🙂
-
Ok I will try that!
Anyone have any ideas about the 50050Hz thing? -
Were those clips conformed on Cinema Tools?
-
Well I have som clips conformed from 24fps to 25fps in Cinema Tools. Im not sure which but it must be those who have 50050Hz. I tried trashing preferences and deleting renders from render manager but it still doesnt work 🙁

Yes, when using Cinema Tools to conform, your audio is resampled and pitch is changed as the duration of your movie has changed.
