I did it. Exported the clip as qucktime audio only. You won’t believe what the problem was. The one of the billions of little mute buttons must have been active. Unchecked it and voila audio on the timeline in motion. I’m really new to all this having come from the dark side but if there’s a way to change the look of the interface, it will go a long way to end hunting for little speaker icons!

What my student told me is that FCP creates separate audio/video files. By exporting the clip as quicktime it combines the file and thus makes it available to motion. I’m going to try it this morning

Thanks, I’ll give it a try

Thanks for the reply. No, I’m using audio from digitized from mini dv tapes at 48K. I may be crazy but it seems the pops aren’t always at the same place in the timeline.

thru the built in. I’ll check a/v setting again

Talked to one of my students (who knows way more than me), he said to export the clip as a quicktime then bring it into motion. Makes sense.

Did you ever find out wazzup? I’m having the same problem

I have a G-raid and so far it’s been great! FW 800 & 400. It runs quiet and cool and not too expensive
