render audio problems FC5
hi:
i imported some mp3s in at 44 so they need to be rendered to 48 to avoid the blip sound.after i render the audio has jumps and cuts at random places. it happens with all the files.
Why is this happening?

Final Cut Pro (along with virtually every other Pro-level edit software) is not compatible with mp3 files directly.
You must first convert an mp3 to an AIFF file, then import only the new AIFF file.
iTunes does a great job of this.
Here’s how… its really fast once you set up iTunes the first time like this:iTunes> Preferences > Importing > Import Using: AIFF Encoder> Custom> 48.000 kHz, 16 bit, Stereo >OK
Drop your mp3 into iTunes window.
Select (highlight) the file you want to convert, then:Advanced (Toolbar Menu)> Convert Selection to AIFF
iTunes will create a new file (in seconds) with the SAME NAME as the original, but ending with .aif
You can set up a special folder for iTunes to send it to, or just use Search to find where it “defaults to” on your HD.Drag this new .aif file into your open FCP Browser.
The actual .aif file will (and can) stay in the iTunes folder, just its “reference” icon shows in the FCP browser.
It will play and edit just as any other media file in FCP. -
but why doenst it render properly. avid does when you import.
i will have to convert aruond 1000 files now… -
FCP and Avid are very different animals. Avid requires you to make everything an Avid media file in order for Avid to use it. FCP does not. FCP can see and access a wide variety of formats. That being said, not all formats are optimized for FCP.
This flexibility makes the user more responsible for media management than with an Avid.
Once you get the hang of it, it won’t be that big of a deal to you anymore, and you’ll likely appreciate the little things this flexibility offers, like being able to use photoshop documents that are larger than raster natively. You can’t do THAT on an Avid!!
