Weird Audio Plpayback
I’m having a strange audio issue in FCP. I have a regular 48k 16bit Stereo AIFF file on my timeline. It was playing back normally earlier while working on this project. Now when I play the project, either the left or right channel will play normally, and the other side will catch up 10-15 seconds later, but playing at a much slower speed. If I stop it and play it again, it swaps sides, one still playing normally while the other eventually starts at a slower speed.
Any ideas? I’m baffled. My media hard drive was getting pretty full so I cleared some room and that didn’t fix it. I’m running an 8-core MacPro with no special hardware installed.

Save your work.
The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.
Next:
THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
“Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”Click the following link for instructions.

A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
There are versions for FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express) and a new one for FCP 5.Download these free Apple Scripts at
