missing audio when quicktime is sent to DVD studio pro
I am working with a client who offlined edited his 42 minute film firewire DV on an external Firewire drive.
He brought me the drive and we tweaked some effects for him and then made a quicktime by reference movie and sent it out to DVD Studio pro to author a DVD master.
Before I made the quicktime I made sure that his audio was rendered and mixdown since he had a lot of audio edits. When the quicktime is in DVD studio pro some of the audio is missing. The weird thing is that the audio that is missing is in the middle of clips from the FCP timeline.
I could understand if entire clips of audio was missing, but this is in the middle of clips or at the tail end of clips. All of the render files are there, and the mixdown is complete. I even tried to make and aiff of his entire soundtrack and took that into Apack. The bits of sound are missing there too. Everytime we do this, the parts of the audio that are missing are always the same.
Any ideas? At this point he needs to send his DVD out for festivals so I am almost ready to make a Digibeta dub in FCP since the audio plays fine there and then redigitize it back in and then make a DVD.
Thanks for your help.
The audio by the way is at 48.000. We have set FCP to low for playback, should I set it to high before I make the quicktime by reference?

I would try and delete your render files (audio and video). I have found that sometimes, somehow an audio file gets rendered into a video file and causes the drop out you speak of. I know it’s a pain to rerender all of the effects, but it’s your best bet.
The way to ensure that you are deleting all of the files is to quit FCP, then delete all of the render files from that project, and all of the audio render files from that project. Open FCP, select the sequence>render selection menu and make sure everything is checked (has a check mark next to it), and also do the same for the sequence>render all menu. Rerender your project and you should be good to go.Jeremy
