re: audio drift on sequence not clip
Hi guys… need some advice here.
working on 30 mins sequnece where basically I captured a long clip for 25 to 30 mins. I would add graphics and livetype on 2nd layer… throw in a few music and also asome motion graphics. It is ok when put on sequence. Problem starts when I add reverb and compressor to sound and then split the edit. The point after the split would drift more than a few secs!. Can solve it by doing a match frame and cut the audio back into the sequence. Pain in the butt when I am rushing for time or before outputting! Don’t have this problem for the last 3 months until last week. Initially I was able to just do an easy setup again and restart the Mac, the problem would go away; but not anymore.
Thanks in advance!
cheers!

THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
“Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”Click the following link for instructions.

A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
There are versions for FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express) and a new one for FCP 5.Download these free Apple Scripts at

Thanks for your help Matte… had the same problem today… could be something to do with rendering the audio as well. Tried the FCP rescue…. great software but did not help here. Will talk to the server & FCP guys next week to see if they know what’s happening.
Tahnks man!
cheers!
