I guess the major problem I see is whether or not there are phase problems inherent in Final Cut as I’ve had this problem with several different systems and multiple configurations. This surprised me and seemed more straightforward since it was 2 identical mono channels that sound fine in the camera but somewhere between digitizing and the timeline, they are thrown almost perfectly out of phase. I say almost because panned mono I can still hear something which means they aren’t perfectly out of phase. It’s definitely less noticeable with a lav and boom situation; so much so that a lot of people might not notice it. Obviously with two identical mono channels, the effect is most noticeable. I know how to fix it, but doesn’t this imply something funky with the audio engine or audio architecture of Final Cut? Couldn’t it completely screw up a stereo mix when you import back into FCP if it’s flipping the phase of one of the channels?
I don’t think I understand the difference between dual mono and stereo other than panning and linking and how that really changes anything. Isn’t dual mono just 2 mono tracks panned in the middle vs 1 stereo track (which is really 2 mono channels paned L and R?

I digitized the HV20 footage via firewire through Imovie and import the files into FCP (the hv20 is particularly buggy with FCP) but I’ve had the same problem with the HVX200 and other cameras using the P2 import tool.

I usually monitor through fairly cheap computer speakers plugged into the 1/8″ headphone output of my tower. With this latest project, i was monitoring through the speakers in my laptop as i’m out of town. I’ve also noticed the problem at a place i freelance at through an Aja card into midlevel MAudio monitors.

Thanks. I was afraid of that.
I’m using I-squint which doesn’t have the bit option and I’m about halfway through. Someone else organized the footage which is in a hierarchy of folders with similar/identical names inside the folders ie VID000001, VID000002 etc.
Does anyone know of a program where i can batch convert, change the 32 bit to 24 or 16 and keep the hierarchy intact?
A tall order I know. i think I’m about to deal with weeks of annoying audio rendering.
