I respectfully disagree. It’s the gaps in-between audio that cue me into where I am going to edit. I have been editing both audio and video for nearly 20 years. The ONLY reason I no longer use FCP is because you cannot see the entire waveform. I started editing with FCP and up until version 7 you could see the entire waveform (not just the peaks). Logic Pro, Premiere Pro, Pro Tools, FCP 7, and DaVinci Resolve all work with rectified audio waveforms. How do you edit if something wasn’t recorded with enough gain? In DaVinci Resolve I can instantly see where I am going to place an edit even if the audio signal is low. This is why I think FCPX is a joke. I LOVE DaVinci Resolve. I used Premiere Pro for many years and now have evolved toward DaVinci Resolve.

I’m shocked that Apple hasn’t incorporated this into FCPX.

Thank you!

This is different that FCP7 which makes a stand alone Quicktime movie when importing.

You rock

Thanks!

You are a rock star! Thank you! Any idea on question number 1?

1) In the source monitor is there a keyboard shortcut to switch from audio view to video view (toggle)?

Thanks!

Where did this clown come from? If you don’t know the answer then please don’t respond!

Thanks!

How did you flip it down?

Thanks!

Perhaps I didn’t explain correctly. I want to view the audio waveform as they appear in Audition, Pro Tools, or Final Cut Pro 7. I’ve attached two files. They are the same file, but one is “rectified” and this completely confuses me. I want to see the audio as a waveform (fig 1) and not rectified (figure 2) in the timeline.

Thanks.

Thanks!

Here is my experience. I’ve updated a MBPro and a Mac Pro to El Capitain…

DVD Studio Pro works until you hit the “simulate” button, then it completely locks up. Both Machines.

FCP 7 seems a little sluggish when I launch and importing from P2 cards. By this I mean I have to click the icon twice before it launches. I also have to select “log and transfer” twice before it opens the window. It does this on various windows. Aside from that it seems to work.

I have completely given up on Compressor since Yosemite as I found it to lock up a lot. I like the new version better and it is a lot faster. All the FCP Bundle worked rock solid in Yosemite.

I just started with FCPX and I must say I like it except for one thing. I HATE the rectified audio waveforms. How can anyone edit with these half ass waveforms???

Thanks for the post!!

Thanks!

You rock! That fixed it.

It says it’s a mono file. I think I imported it incorrectly. I still have the footage on my P2 card. Do you know how to import all four tracks as mono files? As I’ve said I’m an absolute beginner with FCP X.

Thanks again.

Thanks!

As someone who has used Pro Tools for 15 plus years I can see where I need to make an edit before I hear it. I am at a loss to why they use rectified waveforms now as I think the audio is as important as the video.

Thanks for the response

Thanks!
