which audio file do you combine this with and how do you do it? whenever i choose mpeg-1, it only renders a video file. do you just send the audio file separately?

wow…amazing what a few moments of rational thought…and a cup of tea, will do for a bonehead like mine! thanks for your input, and i had thought of doing the prefs again right after sending my “emergency”. i am sorry for always wasting so much webspace here with my dumb comments and questions…
here is one other little ditty with this project, though. i’m using the clients avi files, which FCP doesn’t really seem to like. when i open the project anew (after trashing prefs), it says all my avi files are not optimized and advises that is use the lovely and talented Media Manager to optimize them. i skimmed through the manual a bit on MM and didn’t see anything regarding “optimizing”, so i’ve left it alone and all seemed okay yesterday. any ideas on avi optimizing?
thanks again…

hmmmmm…”Lame Brain”….sounds like it’s right up my alley! i’ll give that one a try, too. Thanks!

wow, amazing what i can learn when i go to the “help” thingy in iTunes! mp3 conversion was quite simple after that. thanks for pointing me to it.

ya, working fine now, but pardon me asking but how does one ‘repair permissions’?

hmmmm…hitting the power button to turn off my G5 doesn’t really turn it off. the drives sound like they’re spinning down, the tower power light slowly blinks, and the screen goes black. i waited a few minutes, turned it back on, and it resumed back to my open FCP timeline that wouldn’t close nor would it force quit through the dock…
????????

alrighty…well, glad to hear no one is having this problem. it could be the way i had “saved” these files in the first place, probably with Roxio on my PC. i’m just bewildered that the files and folders are all there, but the files won’t open. some are images, some are other documents.

thanks Jeff. i think that’s exactly what i found out by trial and error out of FCP. MPEG-1 seemed to do the trick!

i read about Audacity, but it didn’t work (unless i did something wrong). i dug into PP some more, and my ancient version (Windows PP 2000) will play videos that are labeled, “Windows Media Audio/Video”, and “movie file (mpeg)”. after testing several codecs out of FCP, it looks like “mpeg-1” (under web download, QT 6 compatible) was the only successful candidate out of FCP, but the quality certainly wasn’t all that good – hopefully good enough? i’ll soon see… : )

that’s what i had thought, too. client says they need and “mp3 version of our latest spot for inclusion in a PowerPoint presentation”.
i never use PP, so not sure if they really know what will work…
anyone else have an idea here??
