Fade out problem HELPPosted by dan chapman
I've tried everything in my limited knowledge.
I have a simple end fade out for my audio on my 8 minute video. It sounds fine in FCP. But when I export as a Quicktime movie, I get a hard cut out of the audio instead of a smooth fade. ???? Am I doing something wrong exporting it? I already screwed up one deadline because of it. Now I'm on day two and things are not looking (sounding) good. help
Be sure to do that mixdown on your finished sequence as I described just before exporting.
There was a debate here a few weeks ago on the merits of "recompress", but in general there is no good reason to do it, and good reasons not to - it just adds another compression hit. I doubt it has any bearing on your audio problem. Scott
Just chalk it up to a personal prejudice on my part. An appalling number of questions I hear beginning with "I'm having a Final Cut problem" include the phrase "so I nested my timelines."
I understand there are a few situations where you have to nest timelines, but I've never personally encountered one, so I don't remember what they are.
It's heavily compressed. The sweet spot in audio file formats for FCP is AIF or DV PCM 48K.
The nesting business-- wasn't made clear-- did you ramp your tail gain INSIDE the nest or apply the ramp to the nest gain itself? A mixdown would preserve the former while creating the nest or when invoked as mentioned by Scott above-- the latter may need an audio render (Render All - Option-R)-- otherwise your Export may have no fade precompute to draw on, thus leaving you high and dry. No, I wouldn't recompress frames! - Loren Today's FCP keytip: Cycle Image to Image & Wireframe to Wireframe with W ! Final Cut Studio 2 KeyGuide? Power Pack.

I rendered before and after nesting, but didn't check the Mixdown Audio box. When I check it, my problem was solved. But now I'm saving for the web and am going too try my compressed file audio without AAC. Last time I put the AAC up on the web, it sounded fine in Quicktime but not the MP3 audio for Flash FLV files.

Sure, everything sounds fine in QuickTime! :-( - Loren Today's FCP keytip: Cycle Image to Image & Wireframe to Wireframe with W ! Final Cut Studio 2 KeyGuide? Power Pack. Now available at KeyGuide Central. www.neotrondesign.com
