How to output Final Cut sequence to KiPro?

[Jeremy Garchow]

Hit command-zero on your open timeline and change the audio to 24 bit there. If using AJA easy setups, your audio should be 24 bit anyway.

[Jeff Kirby] “Is there a way to change my settings in FCP so my audio will be 24-bit in my sequence and when I render, that way I don’t have to do a Quicktime Conversion to output? “

then you would have to change the camera settings, since that is where most audio originates.

” I did notice there is no 24-bit audio option on AE, thus comps with audio cannot be rendered and immediately used on the KiPro. “

which is why I do not tell people not to try using AE content by copying onto the KiPro.

Jeff, you also have to have the audio in Mono (which is really dual mono). AJA said they are going to change this to stereo in the future.

OK, so you guys are great, but I just want to make it clear on setting for playback from a Pro Res 422 FCP movie.

We transferred the movie from the Mac to the Ki Pro drive, Pro Res 422, 1080P, 23.98.
Audio was dual mono, 24 bit, 48 KHz.

We get picture but the audio plays like it’s reading a digital file, not audio. VU meters show a signal, headphones give the same audio as the XLR or HDMI audio.

Any thoughts?

OK
I do this all the time….

what device are you outputting to? is it capable of seeing 1920 x 1080 as a P-signal (instead of the standard PsF)

What is your content source- AE does not properly generate the audio as needed.

Have you tried recording the signal as it is played out from your NLE?

Gary,
Thanks for the quick reply! (I’m here in Chicago to).
Let me give you background info,
We’re finishing a film in Final Cut 7, it came from Red files, cut in 2K, and some After Effects stuff inserted for wire removal, etc….

We output the movie to Apple Pro Res 422, 1080P, 23.98
Audio is 24bit, 48 Khz, dual mono as suggested in the forum.

We get great picture, but as posted, the only thing we hear in either HDMI or analog audio is the “digital chatter”, not a real audio signal.

The Best

Sorry, forgot to tell you, we hear the audio digital chatter even in the headphones coming right off the Ki Pro.

The HDMI video/audio we’ve tried plugging in to our normal Samsung computer monitor, our Samsung HD projector and into our Denon amp/switcher that combo feeds video audio.

We have also tried analog versions of these hook ups.

The best,
Scott

that sounds like your audio is dolby or mixed as 5.1

only 2 channels of audio right now.

You said you made them dual mono. Did you actually go through and assign the tracks as 1 and 2?

[Scott Erlinder]

Thanks Gary, but we know it’s not 5.1 sound.

What we got from AJA, when we could talk ot an engineer, is that a number of units are having audio problems on playback. We’re getting a new unit overnighted to us today and we’ll see if this fixes the problems.

I’ll post my findings ASAP.

Thanks to all!
