Well, I’ll be…..

A few days back I purchased the iZotope RX5 (5.02) Audio Editor Standard.
So I decided to test the De-click and, sure enough, the last word was gone. Waveform still there but it was the sound of silence. De-clip and De-crackle did the same thing. The De-noise plugins sounded OK.

Consider this confirmed.
Time to file a bug report.

You could try resetting preferences in FCPX.
Personally I’d recommend creating a New User Admin account, so both OS and Application Preferences are fresh and, starting with a new Library, import a clip and test in a new Event/Project.

What is the audio codec of the clips you’re working with?
Have your tried on a PCM / AIFF source?
Are you using 44.1 kHz sources?

… and this to just posted today. Sam Mestman explains subroles to roles through compound clips. Key is that it’s not an either/or choice between subroles and roles.

[Mark Suszko] “I think it’s getting there… but the fee model, I’m not crazy about”

What do you think a better model would be?
Currently it’s 50¢ per minute with a 30 minute minimum purchase ($15) I believe.
It could get fairly expensive if you’re working on a documentary.

Personally I’d like to buy a program but would an annual subscription be better?

Alternately maybe a lifetime “unlimited” minutes subscription might be interesting but I’m not sure how profitable that would be for them.

It should be good for 10 days and then it mutes out every 40 seconds

…Demo mode, the plug-in’s output will mute briefly every 40 seconds. Aside from this periodic silence, there are no other limitations in Demo mode,…

When you format with the second option, only available when camera has AC power, I believe it’s doing a low level format. The other version is fine in most cases but over time I believe it can fragment the access so it might increase the likelihood of glitches.

File Size = Duration x BitRate
There’s no secret behind that.

Quality is a different matter. The larger the frame size the less bits per pixel which is lower quality.
Acceptable quality is subjective so, assuming 16:9 aspect ratio, you may want to look at 1920×1080, 1280×720, 960×540, etc.
High Profile and CABAC entropy yield better quality but may need more system resources to play. Most modern mobile devices can handle that. Older ones would struggle.

ProRes LT would work but perhaps if you’re doing a lot of compositing or grading you may want to go up the ProRes scale. It won’t make it better but it’ll hold up to the heavy moving of bits.
