Final Cut Pro Not Importing Audio With Video? Here's A Fix!
ฝัง

- Are you importing video clips into Final Cut Pro and finding that there's no audio?
Here's a fix that may work for you - Renaming .MP4 files to .mov
I think this problem might be with DJI app that works with their OSMO Mobile 3, or FilmicPro, but I'm not certain at this point.

If only I could show the excitement on my face after I tried it the way you did it. Genius! Thank you 🙏🏾
Haha 😆 I’m so glad it worked for you!
SOMEONE GIVE THIS GUY A MEDAL!!
This video has literally just made life a whole lot easier! Thank you Mike!
Wonderful! I’m glad it worked for you!
Mike, you can change the extension of all the files at once in the Finder. Select all of the files you want to change, then Right-Click>Rename X items>Replace Text>Find: .mp4>Replace with: .mov>Rename. You'll get a warning about changing file extensions, but check "Apply to All" and click "Use .mov"
Also, I find that just changing the file extension to .mov doesn't always work. In those cases I select the files, the Right-Click>Encode Selected Files>Setting: Apple ProRes>Continue. This process takes a little longer, but it has never failed me with FCPX or iMovie. I found the most problematic files are webcam and screen recording sent to me by co-workers.
Excellent comment. Another trick I saw from another TH-camr was to use the same re-encode dialog you mentioned but re-encode as audio only. Then you can just drag the audio file into FCPX and connect it to the video on the timeline.
Good point about screen recordings! That's exactly the situation where I encountered this issue, too. Amazing how much better TH-cam ends up being than the Apple forums for finding a solution-people there were giving answers that had nothing to do with posters' legitimate questions, criticizing OPs audio setup instead of giving answers, or just flat out saying they didn't know.
This is soooo helpful thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST HELPFUL VIDEOS I HAVE EVER FOUND, I HAD PREVIOUS VIDEO ISSUES THAT TOOK 3 HOURS TO FIX EVERY CLIP, AND THEN ONCE I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL OVER I HAD THIS AUDIO PROBLEM AND THANK GOD FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU
You're very welcome! I'm glad it worked and saved you a ton of time ☺
thank you so much for this! very helpful.
You’re welcome 😊
That freaking worked. Love it. Love you. Thank you.
You’re welcome! I’m glad it worked for you 👍🏼
I have a question. I did as you said, but file 'mov' still doesn't have audio data also. And after 1st opening that file stop importing in FCpro at all.
Thanks for your video, you explain things very well. I have a couple questions. I recently opened a library that contains edits, sound etc on a new Mac, M1. The media clips, when clicked on, I see the "modify" option. Why is that and should I just go ahead and modify? Also, "voice isolation" box will not check so I am unable to use it. Any idea why? Finally, the project which opens in the timeline contains two clips with that dreaded red box warning. The sound is there but not the video. I tried relinking but FC is not able to find whatever is missing. I may try opening FC on the old computer and assuming I still have it there, will try to copy and move to the new Mac. I apologise for so many questions but this move to a much needed Mac has not gone quite as smoothly as hoped. Thanks for any help.
thanks SO MUCH! this helped me a ton! got it resolved!
You’re welcome! ☺️
I import a an audio clip make in Quicktime.
It plays fine in Quicktime.
The waveform shows in FCPX but it will not play!!
If I apply any effect to it, eg set the mode to dialogue, it zero's the waveform!!
This only applies if the audio is recorded in Quicktime.
They .mov does not work on it.
Any ideas?
I’m not sure, sorry!
Thank you so much for this ! Just saved my life.
I’m glad it worked!
Yup that's the way to do it. Thanks for the fix! I thought it was my headphones at first because FCP also sometimes won't work with bluetooth headphones (yes, I know there's a delay, it doesn't matter if you go frame by frame before cutting), but the .MOV change immediately fixed my audio issues.
Awesome, I’m glad it worked for you Christopher
Thank you! No other solutions were working! Easy fix!
You’re welcome, I’m so glad it worked for you
Thank you very much kind sir, a quick and easy fix!

Awesome Leo, you’re welcome!
Wow thank you so much! you just fixed my problem in an instant!! :D
That’s great, I’m glad it worked for you!
I had the same problem when trying to edit an mp4 file produced and downloaded from Microsoft Streams. It had audio in QuickTime, but a flat line in Final Cut Pro. Your renaming tip worked!
That’s great, I’m so glad it worked for you!
This really saved me - thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
I just wanted to say thank you! I actually had the opposite problem (audio but no video) and this tip worked for me too!
That’s awesome! I’m glad it worked
thanks bro the .mp4 to .mov worked for me - left a fat like on the vid!
Thanks man! I’m glad it worked, it can be so frustrating when these things don’t work

I'm using a Hohem M6 gimble and this absolutely worked, changing the .MP4 to .MOV . Thanks!
You’re welcome! I’m glad it worked for you
Excellent - thanks for the help. It also works if you have someone sending you a video from a Microsoft Teams meeting and the audio drops out part way or does not show up at all.
You’re welcome, I’m glad it worked! Good to know for Teams too, thank you
Man thanks a lot for this! You’re the real MVP 🎉
You are welcome!
Omg. so simple! This helped me so much!!
I’m glad it worked for you
Perfect worked first time changing to a .mov
Awesome!
Love your videos. Always on point. I've trying to import a MP4 video into the latest version FCP but unsuccessful. Do you know how to do this please?
😊THANK YOUUUUU !!!! FCPX has been an absolute pain, glad I came across this video!!
Very helpful that saved so much time and aggravation, thank you for sharing this invaluable tip! Best wishes.
You’re welcome! I’m glad it worked for you 👍🏼

Thank you so much! It worked - you saved me such a headache.xx
Awesome! I’m glad it worked! 😊
Thank you. Very helpful ❤️
You’re welcome, I’m glad it helped!
Thank you for this fix! FYI my problem was a screen recording from my iPad that I airdropped to my Macbook. It clearly played fine on Quicktime but a no-go for sound importing into FCP.
I’m glad you got it to work! ☺️
Game changer! The .mp4 to .mov worked. Thanks man
Glad it worked for you!
I cannot believe how simple this solution is lol I've seen suggestions of encoding/extracting audio and then syncing in the timeline or 3rd party conversion software... but with 143 mp4 clips neither of those were viable options lmao I took the time to change to MOV and now I have audio. thank you for uploading this, saved my project
I know right! When I was looking for a solution I came across some of those options and was like… “Woah 😳, this way over my head “. I’m so glad this worked for you and saved your project! I was so scared when I thought I might have to reshoot all my footage
Also renaming 143 clips must’ve been pretty monotonous!
Thank you so much ., l don’t use an gimbal ., just use my iPhone 7 for shooting vidoes .. and this was sudden troublesome occurrence. Yours solution was the only one that worked ., so my big big thanks 🙏🏼
You're so very welcome!
My man you don’t know how helpful this video was. Well done from one content creator to another thank fucking you 🙌🏾
Awesome! I’m glad it worked for you. One of the most heart sinking feelings when creating content is the thought that you may have lost all your video or audio after working so hard.

Thank youuuu you saved me :D
You are very welcome! 😊
Another thing that I tried that works: Import the video and if the audio doesn't work, click on the clip and push shift+3. This will import the audio only, then you can adjust it so that it fits the video. Basically like manually detaching the audio
THANK YOU

Mine is having this problem only with air drop stuff from my phone. Everything else works fine. Uggg
A few other people have mentioned that problem too. Did this solution work for you in that situation? Or is the audio not working?
@@mikekrzesowiak7944 it worked on my airdropped files! Thank you!!
So true
Thanks brother
You’re welcome! 😊

That did it! Thank you so much!!! I was about to pull my hair out!
You’re welcome, I’m glad it worked for you! And I’m glad that you still have a full head of hair 😂😉
I've had the same issue. In that scenario what has been working for me is exporting the original file as 4K and saving it under a different name.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your solution with us! 👊🏼👍🏼
OMG THANK YOU!!!! I WAS BREAKING MY HEAD TILL I FOUND THIS!!!
You are welcome, I’m glad it worked for you!
