iOS13 screen recording no audio in Final Cut Pro X

So something weird happened after I updated my iPhone Xs Max to iOS 13 (now it's iOS 13.1). I make gaming videos and record footage of my phone screen. Lately I've been playing Brawl Stars.

But anyway.

My problem is (this started after I updated my iPhone to iOS 13) my screen recordings don't have any audio when I import them to Final Cut Pro X (10.4.6). This is very weird because the audio is there when I watch the screen record on my iPhone or on Mac with QuickTime. But when the video goes to FCPX adios's disappears.

Any ideas what might cause this? Now I have to do one extra step and use HandBrake which somehow makes the audio work in FCPX too. It's kind of frustrating...

I’ve been having this problem for a while and this was the solution:

Connect your iPhone to your Mac via your iPhone’s charger (or a port that allows the two to connect). Import media from your phone to FCPX by following these steps:

In FCPX, Go to File-Import-Import Media
Top left hand corner, select your phone and at the bottom select the screen recording(s) you wanna use in your project
Bottom right hand corner, click “import media selected”
You’ll find the desired screen recordings, with audio, in window where all your other imported media resides.

Hope this works for you!

Was it a vertical screen capture?

Mystery stuff. Very annoying and time consuming. I don't like to hassle with wires but that is faster than using Handbrake app...

I had the same issue and this is also the only fix that I've found so far. Strange, but thanks for solving it for me!

Need to try this. AirDrop is sooo easy to use that I hate to work with wires.

I installed the new Final Cut Pro X update (10.4.7) but it made no difference. This is really annoying problem. I can't figure out what is causing this. The uploaded screen record is fine when running on QuickTime but in Final Cut the sound is suddenly missing. Weird stuff...

No idea what went wrong with your previous copy via Airdrop.

I did try one with Airdrop and it worked just fine.
