Greetings,
Since updating to FCPX 10.2.3 I have been having issues when using the blade tool. 75% of the time when I use the blade it now creates a tiny audio pop between the two segments. This was never an issue before 10.2.3 and am curious if anyone else is experiencing this and if so what your solution was besides having to manually create a audio fade after every slice?
Thanks so much!
Final Cut Pro X, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
do you have audio effects or audio enhancements on those clips?
I most certainly do 🙂 I always add a little compression with a voice enhance eq to the clips before I start editing. The popping after a slice never occurred though until this last fcpx update. Did something change in the working of the app to now cause this pop issue when audio fx are applied?
do you hear the popping if you temporarily disable all of the audio effects and enhancements?
NNothing changed. The click on a cut is a common occurrence in certain types of content. If you could zoom into to sample level and cut on a zero crossing point it won't happen. In most audio the sound covers the click and masks in, in a lot of content it doesn't.
I will test that out on a movie I am just about to start editing..keep you posted and thanks for the help! 🙂
Well sadly just tested it out and still get a little audio pop when everything in my audio fx tab is all cleared out and eq is back to flat. Of course much less noticeable but to my sensitive ears I still pick it up and it bothers me lol I have to create little audio fading overlaps of the two split segments to solve this issue. So not the worst thing in the world but still an annoying issue to have now since it never took place before 10.2.3..strange!
Thanks for the advice Tom! Will try to slice on less audio speaking areas to see if I can minimize this issue. Just weird that I never had this issue before but it's not the worst problem in the world. Just a tad annoying..
Hi iamKade. I've been having this problem too. Did you ever figure it out?
