Voiceover won't work on Final Cut Pro X - I have an external Hard Drive for the library and I have enabled Full Disk access and microphone access for Final Cut. I still can't do voiceovers, all mic settings are correct and working in other apps - HELP I have searched all the forums and no solutions
MacBook Pro
I remember once someone mentioning that although the right input was selected, changing that input also at the system level helped. I am not seeing this on my mac, but it is worth a try.
Also, if you haven't already, deleting preferences can solve all sorts of glitches, so whenever the application misbehaves, it is one of the things to try.
To delete preferences, hold down command and option while starting FCP X and click Delete Preferences.
The application will start in a default state, and open an "Untitled" library. Reopen the library you were working on, set the preferences the way you like them, and try again.
How is the external drive connected and formatted? Are you using the trial version of FCP?
What exactly happens when you try a voiceover? Any error message? Or the recording gets done but is silent? Or something else?
Recording gets done but is silent, I can see the green lights registering the sound while it’s recording and it works in other apps so it’s just this bug which is hugely frustrating
external drive is formatted Mac OS journaled and the drive is connected through a usb
thanks
It's not the trial version? Please confirm.
Green lights? Does the VoiceOver meter move prior to recording and while you're recording? Can you post a screenshot of the timeline?
Is the correct audio source selected for the voiceover?
It’s the full version
cheers
Definitely the correct one is selected - have tried changing and changing back etc
cheers
