Hi Kara:
I spent 2 hours on phone w/Adobe. The support tech took remote control of my computer & it was a looong night–a lot of circuitous things transpired and was difficult to follow many of the steps. So, someone more expert with After Effects & PP than me would able to clarify what I’m going to try to explain. Basically, when I copied some audio levels and pasted their attributes on to other clips, something became corrupt. Thus no audio playback no waveforms, etc.
So, he exported an FCPxml and opened it AfterEffects and then exported the sequence out of AE. He also did something with the audio because I saw an “extracted audio clip” created. But I’m not sure of the purpose or if this was useful in the end? The goal was to get a clean sequence back in Premiere (in a new project) and “Remove Effects” from all audio clips. That worked. Even though I had removed all effects from my audio in the first place, it was apparently too late in the corruption process so it just ignored me. In the end, I wound up with a sequence that has good audio but the playback & reaction time of the interface is much slower…so I know something is probably still not healthy, but I just need to get this project out the door and hopefully new projects will be okay. Very scary to lose a day of work running in circles on a deadline. Long live FCP 7:) Hope any of this is helpful.MV

Help needed as well…same thing is happening to me…no audio waveforms on clips (though there was the last time I opened project); everything set to “nan”…even if you reset, rebuild, repaste attributes, restart still goes back to NAN. Made new proj & imported sequence–same thing…no audio playback just crackle here & there.
Did you ever find a fix?
Thanks,

Oh wait, I got it…I should put media on subsequent internal drives (I don’t need to buy external drives) and not my main drive. (I only had the 650 G drive when I bought it which is where he said to put the media.) Can I move the media and just “reconnect to media”?
Again, thanks so much for catching this…I asked a million times because it was the first rule I learned to always keep the media on an external drive.MV

Yikes shame on Appleman–he specifically said to put the media on those drives because now, “it won’t have to go looking for them”…Thanks so much…will get external drives now. Can I move the media and just “reconnect to media”? If I do that, will FCP automatically made a new Scratch folder?

I used to keep my media on an external drive but when I got the new quad core, Apple FCP guy said that the whole point was to keep the media on system HD so computer wouldn’t have to constantly retrieve from external drive which is slower. He said that’s why they have the new quad core so you can just add more internal drives 1-2T at a time. Rut Roe…should I not have listened?

Thank you Shane! Everything you said worked. I am a bit worried still re: crash syndrome. I specifically bought a new Mac to “handle” hi rez video import & editing and was shocked that it was laboring so much during two simultaneous tasks: ingesting & playing back so I could log. (Any secrets re: why the J,K,L’s don’t work during log & transfer?)
Long day after a shoot and then kaboom so thanks much.

Thanks John, but how do I know & establish the proper size for SD…are there guide marks for cropping to SD?
