Clip is cut off when importing When importing a 23.98p MP4 video into my fcpx project, I experience a weird problem that I've never encountered before. The clip is 4:02, but when importing it only imports until 3:48. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Thanks!

GoPro video out of sync with audio from different source at the same event. Hi, I've had this problem for a while now and have searched for an answer and just can't find a real solution. We record our concerts with a GoPro Hero 8 and a Tascam for audio. We edit the audio in Logic Pro and export as .wav 48. When I import the 4K 60 video into FCPX and line it up to the audio, by the end of the song they're out of sync. I align it at the end and the beginning is out. I had this problem in Adobe Premier and it's why I quit using it and bought FCPX. I've read I need to convert the video, but I don't need to convert it to line it up in iMovie. What am I missing? This is a REAL problem. If I do need to convert it, can someone recommend an app or software? I don't want to lose quality. Thanks!!! Jen

Final Cut Pro for iPad fails to import HEVC mp4; loads fine in Files.app & FCP for macOS Final Cut Pro for iPad was released yesterday and I was excited to edit some old family VHS videos on my iPad. How they got onto the computer isn't important, but what is important is that they've been converted to MP4 containers with HEVC ("Main" profile) video and AAC ("LC" profile) stereo audio. The video type is 29.97i FPS 720x480 DV format. They load into FCP for macOS just fine. They play in Files.app on iPadOS just fine. But when I bring them into FCP for iPad, they show up with a puzzle/plugin icon and an exclamation mark as shown in the below screenshot. I created an AppleCare support case and finally got them convinced I knew what I was talking about and they pushed it to their engineers. Is anyone else experiencing this issue with FCP for iPad? If anyone's curious how the files were converted, this is the ffmpeg command: ffmpeg -i in.mpg -c:v libx265 -crf 18 -preset slower -c:a aac -b:a 256k -tag:v hvc1 out.mp4

I have not seen this before. How are you importing?

Does the source appear as two clips in the browser, and audio clip and and a video clip?

If you are dragging the clip directly to the timeline, go to the View menu and see if you have "Hide Audio Lanes" as a choice on the menu. If so, select it.

Are you seeing this behaviour in the Browser or in the Timeline?
