No you are not the only one with this problem! I was hoping that the last update would solve what appeared to be a random glitch with XDCAM HD & IMX Pal audio. Unfortunately Im experiencing all the same issues you report: audio drops out on playback or vanishes on export. The annoying part is that it appears completely arbitrary; some files play fine, others do not. My work around so far: export the finished audio edit to 5.5 using FCP XML, mix down and reimport. Hardly elegant or efficient, but at least a way to stop me banging my head against the wall.

Another alternative I’ve tried is to use 5.5 to rip the audio from the MXF files. Again, not ideal!

This appears to be a genuine bug, comparable with the famous ballooning .pr files in the first release of v5. That one cost me 2 days and a serious case of high blood pressure. Adobe are you listening…?

Hi Nat,

for what it’s worth I have noticed a similar phenomenon in CS4, and now also in CS5. I’m working on an HD project, which for some reason suddenly jumps in file size from 40Mb to 160Mb, with absolutely nothing having been added and in fact afeter several sequences are removed. Earlier iterations have been the same size until bang, it triples in size. Nothing like the magnitude you are seeing, but I dont like mysteries like this!

Hi Brett

it seems we may be experiencing the same problem with the PCI card. Can you tell me how you limited memory to 3.5Gb? I also have some driver/profile installation issues:

Is that something you have any experience with?

thanks for any help you can give!

Hi Nicky,

thanks for the quick response. I have just tried removing 2Gigs of RAM. Unfortunately, this doesn’t help. I also found another thread suggesting that anything under 3.5Gb – which I could live with – should work: https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/124/873749

The fact that I am getting the error message on older Blackmagic timelines also still suggests to me that this is a software issue. Anyone?
