  • Sound Effect Doesn’t Play in Timeline

    Posted by Richard Mann on June 10, 2016 at 3:11 pm

    I’ve brought a Final Cut Pro sound effect into my timeline (motor4.caf). When I skim the sound effect in the timeline it plays properly. But when I play the section where the sound effect is it doesn’t playback.

    Two things to note: 1) I already have music in the timeline that plays properly. 2) The motor4.caf clip is enabled in the timeline, but it shows up in grey, while the music shows up green. I know the motor4.caf clip is enabled because I can disable it, which turns it from light grey to dark grey; when I enable it again it turns back to light grey.

    I’m running FCP 10.2.3

    You most likely have the effects unchecked in the timeline index. See if this is the case under roles.
