missing audio in AIF export
I’ve been trying to export a video as mpeg2 and aiff, but the audio is always missing a chunk from the middle of the video. I don’t see what the problem is because it just cuts out in the middle of a track. I’ve tried exporting the audio by itself a few times, using aiff and mov, but some audio is still missing. Any clue whats wrong?

There is a function in FCP that is often overlooked… and it CAN help with many problems.
You should “Mixdown” the Audio for playback before you dub out of FCP, or during the edit, if you have audio/video stuttering, drop-outs or freezes.
NOTE: Mixdown has even been demonstrated to help with slipping, skipping problems (or “missing” audio clips) for files being EXPORTED as QT (or similar) files out of FCP.
First, SELECT ALL of your audio tracks (highlight them) on the timeline, then:
Sequence Menu > Render Only > Mixdown.
You should see a dialog box telling you its rendering.
It might seem to make little sense that “Mixing down” even simple audio tracks will “fix” complex video “freezes” or random audio dropouts to tape or export, but it CAN.
NOTE: It does not matter of you only have one audio track, if there are random freezes during output, you should try the Mixdown.
