Repetitous Audio Clicks
I am working with some video material, which I just dropped into final cut, it’s an AVI file, and the picture is fine, however the audio seems to be out of sync or something. It seems almost fine, but if I listen closely, or through headphones, I can here this repetitive click or surging within the sound. I have had similar problems before, with some news footage from a European TV Station, and I was able to export the footage in quicktime, as a different format.
Is there a sure fire format that works, this is a fairly long video clip, and I don’t want to spend time exporing it or something, just to have it be worse, or still having the same problem.
It’s a avi file, 25 fps,DivX 6.0, 640 x 272, Millions MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 48.000 kHz

Final cut doesn`t work well with mp3 audio. you’ll need to transform that mp3 to aiff or wav. You can use a program call Audio Hijack, search it in google, you can download it free.
sorry for my english!Alan

You can also use Quicktime or iTunes to convert it.
But yes, make it match the exact audio settings of your video sequence before you import it. Final Cut CAN use audio that doesn’t match but you’re wasting processor power while you edit since it has to convert it on the fly.

I have found a workaround for this because i import AVi’s alot and almost always get the weird popping clicking noise. Right click on the audio in your timeline and then choose “send to soundtrack pro audio file project” just save it when it promts you, and soundtrack pro wil open the file……dont do anything in soundtrack except save….soundtrack pro decompresses the audio when it imports, and when you save it, it automaticlaly places that new audio in your timeline. I have no clue why it works, but all the clicks and pops will be gone.
give me a yell directly if you get caught up in any of the steps.
