Sound track cuts out whne final cut pro movie is exported
I have a 4 minute project with 12 tracks of audio, and I’m trying to make a FCP movie from the sequence and the music I have running at certain points just cuts out, and the interview/on set audio remains, as if FCP just decided “no, I’m overruling you, you can’t have music there.” From what I can tell, it happens when I’m using almost all 12 tracks at the same time and where audio on the time line must be rendered (which also baffles me considering that I have 12 tracks selected in the preferences and the playback setting is set to low) Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Did you mixdown the audio?

no, I haven’t done that yet. Do you think it’ll make a difference?

mixing down the audio doesn’t help, I made and aif and FCP still ommitted my music.

Are the audibility buttons switched off?

everything is on….yeah it’s weird and frustrating

I just got it to work..not sure why but I have a DV sequence preset and my easy setup was on 8-bit uncompressed. i just moved everything into anew sequence and exported outright without rendering the timeline..and it worked..not sure why, but it did..and now I’m happy.

This happens once in a while. Rare. Nevertheless I have seen it enough to say it is a bug [4 & 4.5].
Part of an audio clip will disappear from exported QT movie. Your solution, creating a brand new sequence and pasting it in, is the only solution I have found. Deleting your pref or restarting the computer does not solve it. Neither is mixdown. In fact if you try to mixdown the offending sequence it will have the same flaw.

Are you SURE you performed a true “Audio Mixdown”?
(It is a very SPECIFIC function in FCP that is often overlooked… and it CAN help with many problems.)You should “Mixdown” the Audio for playback before you dub out of FCP, or during the edit, if you have audio/video stuttering, drop-outs or freezes.
——————————————————-
NOTE:
Mixdown has even been demonstrated to help with slipping, skipping problems (or “missing” audio clips) for files being EXPORTED as QT (or similar) files out of FCP.
——————————————————-First, SELECT ALL of your audio tracks (highlight them) on the timeline, then:
Sequence Menu > Render Only > Mixdown.
You should see a dialog box telling you its rendering.
It might seem to make little sense that “Mixing down” even simple audio tracks will “fix” complex video “freezes” or random audio dropouts to tape or export, but it CAN.
NOTE: It does not matter of you only have one audio track, if there are random freezes during output, you should try the Mixdown.
