  • Why am I asked to render my audio (the video plays fine) when my sequence settings look

    Why am I asked to render my audio (the video plays fine) when my sequence settings look like they match my source media?
    is there something I am overlooking?

    I have loads of material to look through, so I can’t give up on this question, render it all and nest it in sequences or something.

    Source (captured with iMovie)

    Format: DV – PAL 720 x 576 (768 x 576) DV, Stereo, 48.000 kHz 25fps

    FCP sequence settings:

    Audio: 2 Outputs
    Frame Size: 720 x 576
    Vid Rate: 25 fps
    Compressor: DV-PAL
    Aud Rate: 48.0 kHz
    Aud Format: 32-bit floating point
    Pixel Aspect: PAL-CCIR 601
    Field Dominance: Lower (Even)

    Does anyone have any ideas? Please?

    “Source (captured with iMovie)”

    That’s the problem. iMovie captures in DV Stream, the native format with muxed audio. Final Cut strips out the audio and puts it on separate tracks in the QuickTime file. You haven’t done that, hence the rendering.

    All the best,

    Tom
