    Hi All
    Motion2/ G5 PPC 2.0 Dual/4Gigs Ram/Tiger 10.4.2

    Import clips from FCP 5.0 (off the array, not “export to” within FCP) – no sound on clips! Media info sez there is 48KHz sound, but nothing shows in the audio editor or plays the Inspector. BUT if I import an AUDIO clip, it shows and plays!
    wuzzup??
    thanks

    Talked to one of my students (who knows way more than me), he said to export the clip as a quicktime then bring it into motion. Makes sense.

    What my student told me is that FCP creates separate audio/video files. By exporting the clip as quicktime it combines the file and thus makes it available to motion. I’m going to try it this morning

    I did it. Exported the clip as qucktime audio only. You won’t believe what the problem was. The one of the billions of little mute buttons must have been active. Unchecked it and voila audio on the timeline in motion. I’m really new to all this having come from the dark side but if there’s a way to change the look of the interface, it will go a long way to end hunting for little speaker icons!
