So, this is a known issue among the pro users. I have called Apple support the tech there tried to act like it was on my end. I have seen others that have downgraded to the previous version of compressor and pro audio video and fixed it. You would need a Time Machine backup to fix this. This is happening on both of our machines and didn't happen on any machine before. Until they fix it we are going to use adobe media convertor. Very frustrating Apple!

We are all users here just like yourself. Please submit feedback to Apple via Final Cut Pro->Provide Final Cut Pro Feedback...  or use this link Feedback - Final Cut Pro - Apple


You can downgrade by copying a previous FCP version from your TimeMachine backup. Best practice is to always make a zip copy of your FCP application before upgrading. Make sure to set your System Settings->Software Updates->Automatic Updates not to automatically update applications.

Same here! Having issues regarding sound after export even using compressor. The sound file is perfect before, .wav file, whenever I export a movie, either in H264 or ProRes the sound is terrible. Unfortunately I don't know how to downgrade to a previous version of FCPx... This is terrible! Apple fix this!!

(I really don't want to edit in Premiere)
