merge clip problem
two bwf audio clips and one video clip. I merge them. it looks (and hears) good in the firsts minutes, but then, at one point, audio goes out. I try to merge them again two or tree times and audio goes out always at the same point. Any ideas?
Thanks. -

Are all the audio and video clips the same length. If one of your audio tracks is shorter than the other or even shorter than the video clip it will end before the other one. Remenber when you merged the clips you did it from one specific point in each clip (in point, out point, TC).etc. Maybe that’s what happening.

I merged the clips using in points, and audio clips are longer than the video clip, so the audio missing in the merged clip exists.

Were the bwf files in .wav format? I would consider converting them to Quicktime files using BWF2XML from sherico.com. It’s a great utility and it preserves all the metadata. I’m doing a whole film this way and I am not having any problems. Most of these bwf files are all polyphonic (6-8) tracks each and everything syncs and plays fine.
