So should I not be concerned about the “skinny” waveforms? Listening to it, it sounds fine. But somehow it just seems to be recording “less” sound than anything else I’ve ever used.

I agree that it’s just part of post-production and I don’t mind fixing things, I expect too. I guess I just want to make sure I’m getting it right to begin with. I recently got the 7D and the H4n and just started the workflow of having audio tracks separate from my video… so it’s new territory for me.
Here’s a couple of very short samples and a screenshot of the what the waveforms look like in FCP:

I think the H4n stuff sounds better, it’s certainly much cleaner… but that’s because of the better mic. I guess I was mostly freaking out visually, because I could barely see the waveforms when I imported them and I was afraid there was nothing there to work with.

Ok… I’ll get a couple of samples up tomorrow. Thanks!

I’ve been using the longer one.

The iMovie export is DV, 720×480, the sequence is set to 720×480 NTSC DV, Anamorphic
I’ll try the XML output. I already rendered the m4v file… but I want to know why it’s having trouble with the .mov
