    music issue in timeline

    Posted by Jojo99 on September 28, 2005 at 9:03 pm

    I am new to this site and I am also fairly new to FCP. I am using version 3.04 and I have many questions. This question is pertaining to music. When I drop a mp3 file to the timeline, is there a way to play it back like a wav file?

    Thanks.

    What do you mean by “play it back like a wav file”?

    Actually, FCP doesn’t really like mp3s, anyway. You need to convert it to a 48KHz aiff in iTunes or QuickTime Pro, first.

    If you need to see the waveform, if that’s what you mean by “play it back like a wav”, there is a little carat (triangle) on the lower left hand side of the timeline. Click and hold on that and choose “show waveform”.
