We’re only experiencing it in a handfull of projects that were upgraded from FCP4 projects.
By chance is that where your project originated?

You see, I thought that too… I check every file that has an issue, and there’s nothing incorrect about them.

Then I wondered if it had to do with an incompatibility between aiff’s created under an older Quicktime, only to discover that it happens just as often, if not more often with aiff’s created in QT7.

The only other related issue that I’ve found is that FCP cannot read the waveforms of some of my older AIFF files. Anytime it can’t read the waveform I have to re-export the AIFF exactly as is with no changes and replace the “broken” one. Then FCP can read it. That leads me to beleive that there’s a major change between QT7 and the older versions in the audio realm… and if there are major changes, I’m guessing there are some sneaky bugs scampering about.

Who knows, maybe Apple is just one step closer to the “Edit” button that every new producer talks about… and they accidentally left some code in FCP5.
