I have a .mov clip that needs the audio replaced
I would like to do this without re-compressing the video
Is there any way to do this without losing video quality
If anyone could help that would be awesome
Thank you very much

Hi Jon,
If the audio of the clip is PCM, you won't have any problem to do it in FC.
Just need that the sequence match the clip setting so you can export without re-compression.

Easier still - you can use Quicktime Pro. Open both the audio and video into QT. Show Movie Properties on the video, highlight the audio track and click Delete. Switch to the audio and select all, copy. Then go to the video, park the play head on the correct in point and under Edit, choose Add to Movie. Check sync and such, then Save As (flattened movie).

[jon swanson] "Do they make quicktime pro for snow leopard?"

When I upgraded, I was able to keep my Quicktime Pro 7 - you may have it in your Applications > Utilities folder. If it's not there, I think you can just load your upgrade disc and choose to install Quicktime Pro 7.

This was the perfect solution. Thank you so much for posting! I'm so glad I didn't have to go through any unnecessary compressing.
