Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy sound problem

  • Posted by Florin Iosif on November 1, 2009 at 3:37 pm

    I am having some problems with adding the edited sound in fcp project.
    It is working well if I export in dv format the edited movie and then attach the edited sound and export again.

    I am recording the sound with Edirol R-4. Can you tell me the setting which will work?

    Thanks

    What kind of sound problems? Can you be more precise.

    On my side I am also experiencing sound problems.

    Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, every time I try to export video that are >10 minutes long the audio just export as saturated sound after a few minutes.
    It seems to be due to snow leopard as when I plug the same hard drive and export the same project from my old mac (running os x 10.5.8 and the same FCP version) it just works fine.

    The computer failing sound export’s configuration is :
    MacBookPro 2.4GHz 2GB ram
    Final Cut Pro studio 2 (FCP 6.0.6)
    Quicktime 7.6.3 (630)

    I have been trying to export using FCP’s Compressor or Export/Quicktime movie or Export/Using Quicktime Conversion and they all give the exact same results.

    an example of a failed audio in a podcast can be found at: here the problem start around 1/4 of the movie and the audio looks like this

    Is it a similar problem to yours?

    Anybody experiencing the same? Any ideas?

    [Nicolas Bigler] “Any ideas?”

    I am not sure why you would upgrade to Snow Leopard unless you were upgrading to FCP 7 as well. I wouldn’t recommend upgrading an OS and running older versions of FCP on it.

    I think you have probably found one of many issues with running old version on Snow Leopard. Stick to Leopard.

    well on this computer I can’t really downgrade and the other computer is old and slow…
    So I just have to hope some has a solution or that Apple will release a fix soon. I just upgraded a few month from FCP 3 to 6 and I don’t have the budget yet to upgrade FCP7…

    The problem with the edited sound is that it works perfectly for 4 minutes and then it has a delay and I cannot fix it.
    Even if I open the sound from camera which works and try to replace that one with edited one, it doesn’t wanna work.

    So it doesn’t look like we have the same problem. But for me, luckily enough the os x 10.6.2 update fixed the problem. Everything back in order.
