    Not sure how to convert to 48K AIFF can you tell me?

    It is Royalty Free Music downloaded as MP3 and pulling it in through the iTunes box in Final Cut.

    Do you have compressor? If so open the MP3 in that and convert it.

    I have compressor and that doesn’t give any other results.

    Did you try copy & pasting to a NEW project?

    I started over and in a way felt this was similar to copying and pasting. Used all the same files and still had the same issues. I finally shifted the timeline and output with having to edit sound in another software and then combined them back in Final Cut.

    Still need to figure out what is wrong. Can’t use the software like this again.

    “I started over and in a way felt this was similar to copying and pasting”

    Actually, no it isn’t, because you have embedded info in the project file itself. Starting over in the same project isn’t doing the same thing as copy and lasting to a completely new, clean project file.

    Not sure I understand. I created a new project file. What is the diffence of me creating a new project file and starting fresh verses copying and pasting? Seems to me that you are more likely to bring over any glitches when you copy and paste rather than starting fresh.

    [Stanley Leary] ” I created a new project file. What is the diffence of me creating a new project file and starting fresh verses copying and pasting?”

    Got it. I misunderstood. I thought you had re-edited it within the same project file.

    I had this happen recently on two projects. The first time the only fix I found was to export my timeline to a self contained Quicktime. Share > Export Media. Then cut my 53 minute sequence just before the audio dropped and delete everything before. I export the remaining two minutes and it spit out the audio and then 51 minutes of silence afterward… there was nothing in the timeline (checked the index) after the two minutes of remaining audio.

    I’ve found that sometimes even if I delete clips FCPX still thinks my sequence is as long as it was at the longest point.

    I then was able to edit the two minute audio bit to the full export in a new project. It sucked. I tried everything. Delete renders, render everything before the export, audio only, audio only roles as separate files, send to compressor, copy to new sequence (wouldn’t copy), export XML (it failed to import – error message), looked for anomalies in my timeline at the point the audio dropped out (nothing apparent). The only thing I could figure is that I synced the video clips using the beta of PluralEyes for FCPX and maybe it did something weird in creating the XML that was sent back after synchronizing.

    The second time I actually found something in my timeline that solved the issue. An editor had used a fade on a connected audio clip which turned it into a storyline. I don’t know why they didn’t adjust the fade in/out handle, but this was a secondary storyline with a gap and an audio clip and a fade between the two. I removed the fade, broke apart the secondary storyline, delete the gap clip and adjusted the fade handle and it worked perfect after that.

    Is it possible that you either used Pluraleyes on your project, or have an actual dissolve/fade transition fading audio in or out at the time the audio drops? Do you get an error message if you try to export an XML of your project and reimport it?

    I did as Oliver Peters suggests:
    “I had a similar issue on a project round-tripped in from Resolve. The fix was to copy & paste the clips to a new, empty project.”
    I zoomed out and copied everything I had. I then started a new project and pasted everything on the new blank palette. Shared as usual and it works like it should. I want to know why does it happen? How can I prevent this from happening again?
