Audio Sample Rates Don't Match

I am capturing a MiniDV tape via Firewire to a Final Cut project
w/ a Capture Preset of DV/DVCPRO-NTSC w/ 2 channel 48KHz 16-bit
audio sample rate
and when I check the Item Props on said clip in Browser it says the same info
I've toggled both Mono and Stereo on Capture Settings, but after capturing,
in all cases, I get the same warning message:
Audio Sample rate one your captured media files doesn't match the sample rate on source tape. This may cause it to go out of sync. Make sure the capture preset matches sample rate of tape.
Please advise, thanks

I am capturing with a Sony MiniDV camera w/ a Firewire400 cable,
and the tape is a Sony MiniDV (DVM60) Premium tape
I am unsure of the camera that shot the footage, which is from 1998
and was one of the earliest MiniDV cameras (a large one)
I tried both Firewire Basic and Log and Capture
but the problem still persists
any other options?
thank you

Audio sample rate does not match (HDcam to dvcam)

I'm trying to import clips and keep getting this message:
"The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape."
Footage was originally shot on HDCAM and transferred to DVCAM elsewhere. Using FCP 5, am importing via firewire from a Sony DSR-11 deck. Using DV NTSC 48kHz Anamorphic as capture settings (though I've tried everything that I thought might possibly work with no success). The audio does not seem to drift over the course of several 5 minute or so clips. Clip settings show audio at 48 kHz (don't know if that's from capture settings or from actual data). Seems to me all audio should be 48 kHz 16 bits, so can't figure out what's going on. I have to export an EDL for the project to be finished in HD. Read some similar threads that ended in December, seemingly without much resolution. My broader concern is why this is happening; my immediate concern is do I need to worry about this right now since the media files will need to be recaptured in HD anyway. Any thoughts?
Thanks

A little more info. I'm having this problem on 4 tapes (from different cameras) that were transferred to DVCAM in a squished format to appear full screen on a 4x3 monitor. Video that was letterboxed and I can bring in with the standard DV NTSC capture settings does not have this problem. Still have the problem if I try to import the clips from the squished video with standard settings. Any thoughts?

How do you set sequence audio sample rate?

I tried posting this to another, but it was already answered, and noone will see it.
I am getting the capture error "audio sample rate doesn't match" and yes, I can see in my browser that the clip is 48khz/16bit, but the sequence is 48khz/32 bit. Howver, wherever I look to change the sequence setting, it is 48/16 already. I've gone to FCP on the menu dropdown to audio/video settings - it's correct all through there. I've gone to the menu dropdown Sequence settings, and it's correct there. I've closed down, opened a new sequence, restarted, everything I can think of. Is there a secret to getting them to match? And, can I fix a project already edited with this discrepancy? Its export to QT is WAY out of synch.

Annoying - I can't see your post when I am in reply mode.
Yes, I get this error when i am capturing. From reading a previous post about the error, I thought the solution was to check the audio rate of the captured clip in the browser, and then make sure it matched the audio rate of the sequence. Like I said, everywhere you get to change the sequence setting, it SAYS it is 48/16, but yet, whe I scroll over in the browser, it says the audio rate is 48 KHz and the audio format is 32-bit floating point. Am I looking at the right places?
I can't check the settings in the camera until this evening...don't ask.
I'm not so sure this is not a QT issue instead of anything to do with capturing, etc. It plays back fine in the timeline.

Change capture settings to 32k audio sample rate???

I have a DVCAM tape that my client recorded and the audio sample rate is 32k. I have noticed that the audio seems to get out of sync when I capture it using the 48k NTSC. I also get a warning saying that my source tape's audio sample rate doesn't match the capture settings and that audio could be out of sync. I looked at past posts and it does seem to be the 32k verses 48k.
My question is how do I change my capture settings to 32k? I see how you do it on the sequence settings, but I can't figure it out on the capture settings.
Thanks,
John Schenkel

John,
I recently read a post where there were four likely answers to the problem, yet I was not sure which one was the best solution.
Why? Because even though the question was marked as answered the person posting the original question didn't mark which individual's answer was the solution.
Please help future users to find answers more quickly, who knows, you may find yourself in the same situation someday.

Matching Audio Sample Rates In FCP

When the message comes up, "Audio sample rate must match sample rate of source tape (Log and Capture window) what exactly does one have to do to ensure a change to the correct .. ?

What I would really like first is for someone to point out the steps on the DSR11 remote for selection of both video and audio. I'm having to remember the three different selection places as I'm doing it "blind" and I can't see the results of my inputs whilst enabling it. The only confirmation I get is the Capture screen showing the SVHS tape playing if I get it right but that doesn't answer the question of how come I don't get a TV monitor screen showing up when then playing the captured material. That, as well as no audio which could possibly be due to a wrong audio preset in the DSR 11 due to my lack of visual. The video setting has to be right for me to get a Capture screen on my desktop. Normally, when starting FCP, the TV Monitor screen changes to a colour indicating connection.
With frustration at a peak, and just in case I'm in some way unhappily missing the right Capture preset, I'll bow to anyones step by step workthrough on the procedure.
Firewire between Macpro and DSR. SVHS in and out connections between DSR and SVHS VCR. Ongoing scart connection from VCR to TV monitor.

How do I determine that my audio sample rate matches my tape?

How do I determine that my audio sample rate of my capture preset matches the sample rate of my tape?

You've really got two issues.
DV records audio and video differently and if the camera is substandard, you will have drift over long captures. Solutions: new, better camera or capture in small (max 10 minutes) chunks.
The other issue is the 32k sample rate, which will exacerbate issue 1. You can duplicate the 48k preset and modify the copy for 32k and work in that until you are ready to deliver. Then copy it into a 48k sequence, render and output.
It's funny, sometimes I get that pop up but everything is fine.

DV 16:9 but Only Exports 4:3 WHY? Also Audio Sample Rate Problem

I'm quite new to Final Cut and have FC 6.01. I use PAL 25fps and a 16:9 SD DV Camcorder with FireWire SONY DV VTR Deck. I have two problems:
1. When i capture my 16:9 DV footage the Logging Window shows only 4:3 with a distorted image in it. Though I have chosen the easy set up and told Final Cut that im editing Anamorphic 16:9 I also found that FC will only export 4:3. However, during the editing process i see 16:9 in the Browser Preview and Canvas Window.
2.(Not sure if its related) I get the following message everytime after I capture individual clips or if i press the Escape key during a capture:
"The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your captured preset matches the sample rate of your tape"
Does any one else have this problem?
Apple, as yet have not given me any answers.

Danny Boy.. Thanks for your reply and I'll be happy if it is my fault and not FCP's. Actually i made an error in my post. It does indeed display correctly in DVDSP, it's iDVD it does not even when told to display it in 16:9. However, when i used the PAL DVD Anamorphic file preset, iDVD still couldn't display it. To get it working I had to tell Compressor specifically (in the additional settings) to encode 16:9 despite what the presets stated! No matter how one looks at this, this is confusing to say the least! If a preset says 16:9 then one should expect 16:9! Remember, Im using the display window of iDVD to show me the output.
To detail my steps as hanumang has said, im doing the following:
1. in FCP I encode to QuickTime Move
2. Open iDVD & Create a Project
3. 'Drag' The QT file into the menu
4. Using iDVD Preview function, Preview the QT file
5. ITS STILL 4:3
now, the above was done with QT Conversion which as also set to encode 16:9 and still had the same result.
Thnaks to you both.

Capturing issues-audio sample rate & locating timecode break

I am a first time FCP user.
I am working on an educational video with hours of DV source tapes.
The source tapes are from a 2R50MC Cannon mini DV camcorder also used as the deck I am capturing from via firewire. My scratch disk is Maxtor III 500GB external drive hooked up via a firewire (I'm realizing the firewire is years old could that be a problem?)
In my first capture test I captured 1 minute of tape by setting in and out points and after completeing the capture I received an error message—"The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape."
For the past day I have been scouring the user manual, this discussion group and training tapes from Lynda.com and can not resolve this issue. I have determined that the source tape is 12 bit or 32 kHz and yet can not find a way to set up capture preferences to 32 kHz. Is this the problem/resolution? Page 320 of the user manual shows the QuickTime Audio Settings dialog box but I can't find it in FCP or Quicktime. Is this where I make the change to 32kHz?
After doing the first test, I tried again and ran into a new problem—it stopped capturing with the message: Locating timecode break [press esc to abort]. It never seemed to resume capturing and I pressed escape to abort. If I'm reading FCP time code window correctly I received this time code break message within a section I had already captured previously (with the audio sync warning).
I have done several capture tests at different points in the tape and on different tapes all with the same results. I've used the capture clip and capture now buttons. I've tested with drop frame turned on and off. Confirmed my setting of: At timecode break "Make New Clip." Confirmed my Easy Setup as DV-NTSC. My capture preset is DV NTSC 48 kHz. I've turned off and on FCP. Restarted my computer. Restarted my computer with the shift key down and ran permissions.
Any ideas are GREATLY appreciated, T.

I am concerned about available memory when capturing to my hard drive and the babysitting and extra steps involved considering the amount of tape I want to capture...but it does work that's GREAT!
This is always a concern, but in your case I think having the camera and external on the same bus was causing your problem. You may have to capture a little and then transfer, rinse and repeat. Just don't try to do too much at once and let your System Drive get too full, you'll run into other problems there. Slow and steady is the pace!
I shouldn't have stacked my questions since you answered one and Chris answered the other. Don't know how to apply the answered question and who gets the points.
No problem, just mark it answered and divide up the solved and helpful points as you wish. All in all we really don't care too much about the points, but they do make us feel good! Thanks for your desire to use the forums properly.

Correcting audio sample rate

I keep getting this error: "The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape."
I used a Sony 3CCD cam set at 48K, I set FCP to Easy set-up, I have FCP Studio, easy set up is on all formats, all rates, NTSC.
I replay the clips and the audio seems fine, but I don't trust it with this error.
Anyone have any ideas????

Hi(Bonjour)!
Make sure that your sequence settings is 48 kHz 16 bit for audio.

Problems with audio sample rate when capturing DV50

Hello from Spain, I have a problem when capturing DV50 source footage: I setup my sequence settings and capturing settings like always, DV50 codec and 48k sample rate for audio, then when the capturing process finish the result is a file that contains audio to a non-48k audio sample rate, then video and audio don´t match. The sample rate is 47945 and other similars, not always the same, sometimes 47214 sometimes 48000, and there is no rules...My capturing device works ok in other computers and the footage has been capture ok in other Mac...I don´t know what happens.
Sebas, kind regards
G5 Quad Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hello!, first of all thanks for your reply. Yes, the camera is the same, the problem is on my computer, I have discovered a solution: first I capture the audio, only the audio, and then the video, only the video. After this I soncronize the two separate files on Final Cut timeline. It´s a slow process, but I am really desesperated. I don´t know what happens, I few minutes ago I have captured a 30 mins. video and the sample rate of the audio was 42.145k (???). It´s a crazy thing...

MiniDV audio sample rate issue

I cannot get the audio sample rate to match. I have captured miniDV footage (32mhz/12bit). In Sequence settings the audio options for bit are 8, 16, 24. My audio is out of sync!!!! What can I do? I have 2 hours of raw footage and can't proceed! Any help is VERY appreciated. thanks in advance!

Hi again!
Hum ... that´s not as simple as it could be!
That way i´ll have to capture twice?!
There must be another way of doing it , i don´t think Avid can do it and FCP don´t .
As i told you i use both systems and i know they´re limitions (or i think i know!), but it´s strange because Avid Xpress DV 3.5 (from the age of stone ) do it in a blink ... ok ... found an FCP limitation!
Thank you!
If there´s another way ... please feel free to post it!

Message: inconsistent audio sample rate

when trying to Share my movie to create a .wmv file, I get the following message: "inconsistent audio sample rate -- the media you are exporting contains audio with multiple sample rates."
The audio to this clip is not the native audio. I replaced it ( on the second track - the first track audio I muted by turning off the check mark next to that track) with audio imported from Itunes. That audio clip is an aac audio file, 128 kbps, 44.1 khz. In expert settings I matched this, and indicated coding method: One pass constant bit rate (CBR).
Anyone know what it is I am doing wrong? Many thanks

No. That is not how it works.
44100Hz is the frequency and the audio sample rate could be 8, 12, 16 or even 24. Same with 48, 96 and higher frequencies. Open the Audio MIDI Setup app to see what your machine and sound card can offer.
QuickTime files can combine up to 99 tracks so a mix of sample rates wouldn't be much of an issue. WMP exports (I've never made one) seem to require only one audio source or constant sample sizes.
iMovie uses 48KHz because that is how it comes off DV tape. AIFF files are usually the same as audio CD (44.1KHz and 16 bit sample size) and I don't know if iMovie upsamples or otherwise changes them at import but I doubt it.
But 44100 does not equal 12 bit sample size.
Hope this helps clear that issue up.

How can I find out the audio sampling rate of BetacamSP tape?

Hi guys
I'm trying to digitize BetacamSP tape. But I'm afraid if I might choose wrong setting...
This tape is from very long time ago so we don't know which audio sampling rate we recorded with..
How can I find out the audio sampling rate of this BetacamSP tape?
Thanks:)

The sampling rate is set by the Sony DVMCDA2 you are using, when the conversion is made from the analog input to the digital (DV) output. You should be outputting standard DV which is 16bit 48khz audio.
Assuming you are in the US, your Easy Setup for FCP should be DV-NTSC, and then open the Log and Capture Pane and set the Capture Settings Device Control to Non-Controlable Device and you should be good to go.
You will have to roll the deck manually and start and end your capture manually.
You can download a user manual for the DVMCDA2 by clicking here.

What is the best way to deal with different audio sample rates on the same timeline ?

what is the best way to deal with different audio sample rates on the same timeline ?

You don't have to do anything special. If possible, start your project with a clip that has the desired target frame rate and audio sample rate, and your project parameters will be set automatically. Other sample rates will be converted under the covers.
For example, if your video is shot at 48khz, you can add music files at 44.1khz with no problem.
If you are recording audio that you want to synch with video (multicam), you will get best results if everything is 48khz, but you can use 44.1 if that is all you have. Once I forgot to reset my Zoom to 48,000 and it still worked.

How do I change the audio sample rate from 48kHz to 44.1kHz for Mpeg2

Hey all,
I've been searching for a while but haven't found any direct answers in the forums or the user manual so here goes.
I have to dispatch a file to Bloomberg TV and the file specs they have given me are as follows:
Video Standard: MPEG-2, MP:ML, 4:2:0
Frame Rate: PAL 25fps
Video Size 720 x 405
Aspect Ratio 16:9
Audio Standard MPEG-1 Layer 2
MPEG-2 Program Stream Mux rate 6mbs per second
Bit Rate Type: CBR
Video Bit Rate 5.7mbs
Audio Bit Rate 192kbs
Audio Sample Rate 44.1Khz
Interlacing: Upper Field first (why they want interlaced for web streaming is beyond me)
GOP Structure: IBBP
I-Frame distance 12
Now everything above is fine except the audio encoding because even though I have set up a new setting from scratch I cant find anywhere to adjust the audio sample rate. The Inspector tells me the Audio encoder is set to:
Format: MPEG
Sample Rate: 48.000kHz
Channels: 2
Bits Per Sample: 16
Anyone Know how or even if I can change these audio settings? The only adjustments I can find are the filters or the transport/program stream option. I have it set to program as specified by Bloomberg.
Thanks in advance
J

The only setting that I could find in compressor that lets your change the bitrate to 44.1 is when you create a new dolby digital setting and then under the inspectors audio tab/Target System button, change the button to Generic AC-3. When done, you can change the Sample Rate to 44.1.
Hope this helps?
