Okay, I videotaped a training and the guy giving the presentation had a video that he put in the Power Point to start things off. So now I'm trying to import the video into FCE 2 and put it at the beginning of the training video.
The file is an MPEG-4. It imports to FCE fine, plays in the viewer, sound plays - life's basically good. So I drag it down to the timeline. It now needs to be rendered, that's fine I need to resize it anyway. BUT, the video resizes and renders fine and the audio, no matter what I try will not render.
2 stereo tracks are in the time line, and play when the selection is scrubbed through. But they will not render. I thought maybe it was a 44.1k to 48k problem so I opened up the file in Quicktime and converted it (audio and video). Then I imported this new file into FCE which gave me a "general error."
The only way I found to make this work was to export the audio only as a 48k .aif file and then import the MPEG-4 and the AIF files separately, line them up in the timeline and not use the audio from the MPEG-4.
Does anybody have a clue why the audio of the MPEG-4 wouldn't render? I tried every place in the menu that even looked like it might render something with no luck.
Thanks,
Kevin
