  • log & transfer…no sound coming through on clips converted

    Posted by Chris Borjis on March 8, 2010 at 5:27 pm

    I have the sony nxcam.
    Final Cut 6.03 intel on leopard.

    I can log & transfer just fine with the canon vixia
    no problem.

    when I log & transfer with nxcam footage, I can see
    and hear it just fine in the log & transfer player.

    when I actually convert to prores picture is fine but
    audio is silent with just a blip sound at the start.

    any ideas?

    THis is a guess, but check the log and transfer prefs and make sure the audio is coming in the way you want it (PCM).

    interesting….for AVC import it only shows AC-3 as an option.

    can’t change it to pcm.

    Doesn’t it stay “Plain Stereo” or something like that? It might not say PCM, but I think it transcodes to it.

    yeah it does say plain stereo.

    I’m seeing in the workflow paper from sony that
    I meet all requirements BUT they say you need fcp 7.
    I’m on 6.03. yet I get video just fine.

    arrggh! wish there was a way around this besides
    capturing over HD-SDI (doing now so the client can get their timecode dvd on time)

    thanks anyways Jeremy.

    I tried demuxing the raw .mts files from mpeg stream clip just
    to see if it would save the day as it usually does but it won’t recognize them.
