Yosemite, FCPX 10.2.
Whenever I output a file from X, every 1-2 seconds, there's a slight 'pop' in the audio. Happens like clockwork and it doesn't matter what codec I am using to output. Anyone else having this issue? It is not in the source audio, nor is it in the timeline audio. Only on the output.
Final Cut Pro X
Sorry, no clue. But these things can often be diagnosed with a quick test or two. Share a short range, say 30 seconds, from one of the clips that you use int he project. Does it exhibit the popping? If yes, it is, unfortunately, something probably wrong with your source media. If not, well, then you try something else. Try a new 30 second project and add any audio filters and music clips, one at a time, sharing out after each major change to you project. Eventually you find the culprit.
the wonks may have an instant solution for you, stay tuned.
Thanks for the reply. Its 100% not the source audio. I've even pulled it into audition and checked - the audio is clean. The audio in the timeline of FCPX plays back clean and pop-free. There are no filters or plugins whatsoever on the master timeline. I've tried a straight "master" output, as well as a 'send to compressor' output. The problem persists.
I will try the other tests you mentioned and report back. Thanks
HHow it sounds in other applications is not really relevant. Please give the exact specifications of the media.
Hi Tom - As I stated, the audio on playback in FCP-X is also clean. The source audio in FCP-X is clean. The timeline audio in FCP-X is clean. The pops are introduced upon output. I just did another output and the pops are there. 1920x1080, 24p, audio is 48 Khz throughout.
Is there a way to downgrade to the old version of X? Everything I create has these hits and it wasn't a problem in the previous version.
CCompressed audio or uncompressed?
YOu can return to the previous version if you have a copy of the application and open a library backup the predates the upgrade.

Let's say there are pops in the other sound applications. That would be relevant.
Deleted X, deleted compressor. Deleted preferences. Rebooted. Re-installed both. Pops are gone, but now my H264 outputs and certain MP4 outputs will fail to have any video attached. Selecting a portion of the timeline and outputting with the exact same setting will be totally fine, but selecting the entire timeline and outputting will be audio-only, yet still be an MP4 or MOV.
I remembered an issue that used to happen quite a few versions ago, that sometimes selecting video and audio vs audio only or video only sometimes didn't take. I did not think that would still occur, but apparently it is. In the old days (and I'm talking 10.0.* here) a workaround was to choose video and audio but a different codec (like ProRes); then the video & audio would take and the next export would work correctly.
