I was asked to edit a piece from a Quicktime that's in the MPEG 2 format.
The problem came when I tried to import the MPEG 2 file into FCP. The video played fine but the audio wasn't present. I opened the file in Quicktime and the audio was present so I don't know what happened.
I was able to work around it by playing the Quicktime file through my system and the Mackie mixer to my Beta deck with good, clean audio. From there, I was able to capture the audio back in and I frame matched it without much problem so the immediate problem has been solved. However, the issue still remains, why didn't FCP import the audio audio portion of the MPEG 2 file in the first place and what can I do to prevent this from happening again?
