I recently did a clean install of Lion on my iMac. I skipped installing iMovie, and went straight to Final Cut Pro X. When I go into sound effects, the iLife sound effects folder was empty. So I installed iMovie to get the effects, opened FCPX again, and the effects are still not there. They are present in iMovie, and I am able to play them inside of iMovie. How can I get the sound effects to show up inside of FCPX?
The iLife sound effects are situated in Hard Drive>Library>Audio>Apple Loops>Apple
You need to drag them into the Music and Sound browser .
Ok, I will try that. The first time I installed FCPX I didn't have to do this, they were already in the iLife Sound Effects Folder.
The sound effects are not located there. I download iMovie from the app store.
Ok, so this is what I did.
I naviagted to the directory you gave me: Hard Drive>Library>Audio>Apple Loops>Apple
I created a new folder name iLife Sound Effects in that directory.
Then I went to imovie, went to the music tab and dragged all of the .caf files straight from iMovie into the folder I created.
Then I opened up FCPX and the files showed up in the audio tab.
Then I deleted iMove because I didnt need it anymore.
Glad you got it to work.
Has iMovie got all the effects that were in the iLife folder?
This is the complete package:-
iLife sound effects missing in FCPX
