mp3 or wav? compressed formats can cause problems so try converting to wav first.

shorts
its simple
Its all to do with your audio format
Final Cut Pro hates MP3's

this is the super simple super quick way i do it now

in Itunes
control+click on a track>convert selection to AIFF


then just drag that AIFF version that will appear
drag it onto your desktop
then drag it into your timeline


AIFF works best on FCP

any dramas hit me up on msn with the addy in my profile

good luck

it only has convert to acc? is that the same?

PIG. 01:17 02/Jul/05

i dont think so
ummmm
try this


when in itunes click on the song you want to convert go to ADVANCED>Convert Selection To Aiff

but it will probably still say acc


umm, if youre on mac OSX go to check for software updates
maybe this was somethign they added on the new itunes version
mine was upgraded a few weeks ago

ahh good old pig,with out we would runing around in circales

u can use quicktime
open the mp3 in quicktime and got File>Export and export it as a AIFF in there
ive had the same problems with mp3s so yer that will work fine now with the AIFF
ive found that is the only downside to final cut, im sure it will be fixed in final cut 5 or future versions

Go into iTunes preferences and click the importing tab.
Select AIFF as the import encoder.
Put the cd back in and import the song you want.

PIG. 09:05 02/Jul/05

Worse comes to worse, burn the song to a music CD, not data
re insert the CD and just click and drag that file to where you want it

CD Audio files are AIFF

Mers 01:49 03/Jul/05

thought they were cda

lorenz 01:58 03/Jul/05

nah aiff or wav i think
but maybe cda
who knows!! :P

Mers 02:05 03/Jul/05

is aiff just a mac developed version of the wav file?

lorenz 02:14 03/Jul/05

nah not really, macs can play wav's also, pretty sure pcs can play aiff's 2

Mers 02:20 03/Jul/05

yeah wavs were developed for pcs by microsoft, figured aiffs were something similar.
