First let me apologize for what I'm sure is going to be a very simple issue. I'm a complete novice to FCP, and very new to Macs in general.
Last spring my 4th graders video taped (DV) a project that we downloaded into iMovie. Shortly thereafter, we were able to purchase FCP6 and I'm now attempting to edit the video using that instead of iMovie. When I transfered the files over to FCP and view them in the viewer, they play just fine. When I put the clips into the timeline, I get a redline at the top and the audio just beeps at me. Video plays just fine. I'm guessing that something about the audio is in the wrong format? What do I need to do to get it working correctly?
Thanks for the input.
Steve

Yeah, it's iMovie 08 (what a watered-down program!). I'll give the XML export a try. Thanks for the fast response and the link. I'm trying to soak in as much as I can, but it's taking more time than I thought to get comfortable with FCP. I'm glad to have found this forum.

Okay, I just went through the tutorial and attempted what it said. I lost the beeping and redline, which is good. But now the audio isn't coming through. I see the audio in the A1 and A2 slots, but it's white. Usually it's green, no? Any other suggestions?
Great tutorial, though. Thanks for the link.

Okay, fumbled my way through it. The tutorial recommended not having the Reconnect to Media Files option selected. But when I used it connected, it was able to bring in the audio as well. I probably screwed something up earlier. Just happy to have my sound now! Thanks again.
