Importing QT footage to be edited in FCP [missing audio]

[Walter Biscardi]

are the audio and video captured separately? They should be captured as one file.

I’m not sure if they are together or seperate. I was provided the QT file (CD)and was asked to make edits to it. I copied the QT file to my desktop and imported the file into FCP HD. The file appears in the Browser, however once I place the clip on the timeline it’s just giving me the video and no audio. Again the audio plays from the original QT file that I placed on my desktop from the CD. I appreciate the help Walter!!!!

Thanks

Is it possibly an MPEG file?

Then you need to use a program such as MPEGStreamclip to de-mux the files.

In QT under Movie Properties, it should tell you what codec was used to create the file.

Google MPEGStreamclip. It should be a free download.

Hope this helps!!

To say “QT” is meaningless, you need to know what codec it uses.
Command-I with the file open in Quicktime player.

If Mpeg streamclip can’t do it, you may have to demux it and then convert the resulting files.
For audio i have even resorted to capturing it with WireTap Pro.
