QT Import
I’m trying to import a QT movie into a Symphony Nitris, which I’ve done many times. The problem is that on a particular movie the audio will not import, I get this error message: An unexpected error occurred while importing the Quicktime Audio Tracks. The imported audio tracks may be unusable.
In comparing the file properties between one that I’ve imported successfully and this particular one is that this one has 4 channels of audio and the other is stereo. Could this be my problem, if so, how can I get around it? Thanks -

It’s possible the audio is variable bit rate. Open QT and export the audio track as a wav or whatever & cut it into your sequence.

OK this may be a ghetto way to fix the problem but I find it works perfectly. When you get the error in Avid continue to import the file. What you get is the video with no audio.
Go to download.com and download a free program called AoA Audio Extractor Basic. Open AoA and drag the original file into AoA and convert it to a Wav file. You get the exact same audio without the video. Import your new audio file into Avid and lay that wav file in your audio track of your timeline. Line them up from the start and you have a perfectly synced audio track, same as the original.
