Final Cut Pro question

BillyBird

Hi,


I have a camera (that records video and sound) and a decent mic that records sound. Looking to use the video from the camera and audio from the mic. All looks do-able enough to synch those files.



I can import the camera video into a project and hear the sound from it without issue in FCP. However when I import the audio file (recorded in Logic Pro) I hear nothing when it plays in FCP. The audio meter moves but no sound. I can go to Finder and double click on the audio file and hear the sound without issue.


Any thoughts on areas I might look at? Will be tomorrow before I'm in front of the machine again.


So far I've tried

• Changing the audio file format to WAV (from AIF)
• Recording the file with Audacity
• Per some of the online recommendations looking at the audio import settings around silent channels - made no difference.

Most of the online stuff suggests that the audio is going to incorrect output. But if that were the case I would not be able to hear the audio from the video?



Not the end of the world if I have to go with just the camera audio I just don't like machines getting the better of me.

The audio track from Logic Pro is probably muted. You need to unmute it or increase the output level in the audio mixer in FCPX. You'll see the levels otherwise, but won't hear it output to your monitors/cans/speakers
