HEY APPLE: FCPX scores an F for audio handling…

[David Battistella]

Problem with the aaf out of fcpx is that x2proneedz to generate that. Would have to sift through the film and remove any reference to R3D audio and then figure where and how to get that all synced up.

It’s a freaking nightmare.

If you are doing AAF, you’d have at least sequence timecode, or simply add a 2 beep.

Assign Roles to the R3D audio (if you haven’t already), and simply don’t include that Role in the X2Pro export.

I would think this would be pretty easy, actually.

I personally don’t get why anyone shooting on RED of all things wouldn’t be shooting dual-system audio to begin with. In which case the whole problem would be (and is, in my case) completely irrelevant.

This certainly used to be the case, but for owner operators, it isn’t necessarily the case any more.

Yeah, sure. Why do they even put 48K 24 bit audio onto the brain? Why don’t they just make it a silent camera and end all these FCP X problems.

Seriously. This is one of the dumbest things I have read on Creative Cow in years.

Blame the RED operator for shooting single system on a very capable system. You know. I have hundreds of TB of data shot single system on RED cameras. They aren’t reserved for sets and double system sound.

Sure,

That is easy. Then you open a session with all of your single system audio missing. At the most maybe Id have some music and effects tracks for the mix.

Guys, it’s really simple. X2Pro is working on it. There was a fix that became broken with the latest version of FCPX xml and the RED SDK.

That doesn’t get apple off the hook with the FCPX xml to LOGIC X workflow though.

It’s lazy and poor development to which there would be simple and effective solutions.

Sorry David. Just trying to offer assistance.

I’ve had luck with RCX, but I don’t need to go to Logic.

Happy to oblige. Keep up the belligerence. Always a great foundation for any argument.

Great. You can keep up the arrogance. 🙂

Jeremy,

I appreciate you and your approach in this thread and all things COW related. I’m on quite a heavy deadline for this project.

I did manage to get the whole track divided into ROLES and then I exported the ROLES. It took a little extra checker boarding of audio and creating additional ROLES, etc. but it was done and delivered.

Logic is a great mixing tool and I have been using it for quite some time. I had expected tighter integration from Apple within a couple of their Pro Apps, especially FCPX LOgicX. Motion would use tiger round tripping as well.

Thanks for your help here. I know you are helpful and one of the “good guys”
