Make sure the sample rate is the same for both tracks and the sequence.
Also no mp3s

Did you try muting the voice track and listening?

One more thing to think about. You might have some filters on those sound
tracks that are causing a problem.

It sounds like it might be some sort of copy protection beep to me. How's
that for a shot in the dark.

FCP question - sudden honking sound

randy.qui...@gmail.com (Randy Quimpo) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:16:02 UT

hi fellows,
I wonder if anyone has encountered this problem with FCP?
I am editing a regular timeline - meaning two voiceover tracks, with a
music cut underneath. During playback in one section, there is a
sudden, very loud honking sound that plays for about 1/3 seconds. It
doesn't happen all the time, and its not exactly in the same place

I understand fully and i will take your advice. I`ll try to enhance my light
with the iris. I was using high gain and that explains all the noise. I also
set my camera to 720p/60p instead of 1080/60i. We will see how it works in
the field this evening. Thank you for the help.

Okay, but you should keep in mind that it is much easier to boost
an under exposed shot up to decent levels in post, than rescue an
over exposed shot. Running in high gain, you risk blowing out
some highlights, and even if you bring the levels down acceptably
in post, you will never get that lost detail back. If you can see

Maybe, though I bet it's designed to take 120V, and it must be sealed.
Anyway, a bigger problem for people on this list might be the *shape*
of the light it casts. Presumably, like an incandescent, it's made to
throw a lot of light off to the sides; not at all what you want in an
on-camera light. You want all your light to get thrown in a 16X9

Ahh that might have been the problem. I was using high gain. I dont have the
luxury of doing a lot of in post editing due to the fact most of my shoots
are news related and they buy the video raw. So i have to have it some what
ok looking.

iris wide open will not increase noise. Using H gain, or even the
middle setting, will introduce lots of noise.

Thanks for the info. I`ll try 720/60p and i wont use H gain. I`ll mess
around and see if i can correct the problem. If i have the iris wide open
will that increase the noise?

I don't know your Canon, but while I hear the HMC is okay in lower light
compared to other small cams, I'm coming from broadcast cameras and it's
not all that impressive. However, you want to make sure you are shooting
manual, with the Gain switch set to L. Noise-wise, I think you'll be
better off shooting a little darker picture and lightening it up in post

I`m having problems with noise in low light conditions. I do a lot of work
in low light conditions. Just want some feed back on what i should have my
settings at to reduce the noise. I shoot in 1080/60i i do freelance media so
i end up at a lot of accidents and fires. My previous camera which i still

Just took delivery of two of them. Have played with them, but have not

OK,OK. Bad idea. I've replaced VHS shells (held together with tiny screws) bad for good to use for timeshifting TV shows, so I figured... Well, anyway, I spoke to the couple last night and gave them a price which included covering the adapter and transfer fee. We'll see. Hope everyone enjoyed the melodrama. LOL!
