green line on audio clip
One of my clips has a green line across the top of the audio clip. It is one of many clips of a talking head, with chroma filters and audio fliters, The weird thing is, none of the other clips, which all have the same effects, have this green line. I’ve expanded the timeline and rendered the clip, still the line is there. It doesn’t seem to be doing anything, but any thoughts?

Are you sure that this audio clip was recorded properly? Usually a green bar will show up if the audio is not a format that FCP is expecting (like MP3, or recorded at something other than the sequence audio setting).

Yes. There are 11 other clips in this sequence all recorded at the same time, on the same camera, imported as a batch. The only difference is this one is a little longer than the rest. But I expanded the view and still it’s the only one with a line.

Let me guess…this is a clip captured from a Canon camcorder. In the Browser Column for audio sample rate, what does it say for that clip?

It was imported thru the firewire port of a JVC BR-DV600UA deck. However I shot it with a Canon XL1. The Audio Rate is different from the other clips. all the others are 48.0KHz. This clip is 48009.3Hz. How does that happen? I didn’t change any settings while I was shooting or importing.

I don’t know about that, but I’d suggest opening the clip in QuickTime Pro alone and exporting it from there with 48k audio. Then reconnect your media in FCP to the new file.

Footage shot with the Canon seems to exhibit this anomaly. Especially if you capture entire tapes. I suggest you capture short and discrete clips if derived from the Canon. I believe the problem is worse when you don’t capture from the camcorder itself.

Thank you that worked. I wish I knew how that happened so I can avoid it in the future.
Thanks again!
