Y ? Y? Y? is audio dropping out
duel 867 G4 running Panther
FCP version 4
2 120 gig porche designed Lacie FW drives non-stripedI keep having short bits of audio drop out for no reason mainly after export.
Audio usually plays back fine on the time line then certain consistant areas drop out for like 2 second on exported clips. Sometimes you can get it to drop out on te timeline but most of the time it plays fine.I’ve tryed changing the edit point changing sequences even replacing the audio clip with another copy.
It is very consistence as far as what part the clip drops out.Olease help me solve this mysyery.

Are you rendering audio??? You should…

I’s sure what David meant by “render” is more properly called “mixdown.”
There is a function in FCP that is often overlooked… and it can help with many audio and video “skipping”, “sticking” and “missing” 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, sync-slippage, 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.
