Captures footage w too fast speed and strange audio (sample rate)

I'm capturing NTSC video via small JVC camera. however the captured clip views much faster and audio is interrupting. I also get the message that my sample rate on source tape do not match capture presets. I've checked all the audio/video settings and can't figure out what's wrong. Also, on the camera screen it shows 12Bit - and I am not sure what it means.
Footage is shot on Panasonic PD150, should be 29.97 frame per sec. Does anyone has any idea what I should be looking at?
In the past I've captured the footage from the same tape and it captured normal. But it was a different workstation. Please help!

A couple of things that you can try:
Do you have a tape that is pretty much full and is designated on the cassette shell as a 60 minute tape? Fast Forward it to the end, you should not get more than 62 minutes showing on the timer. If it shows more, it was recorded in Long Play mode and has 12 Bit audio.
When you change the Capture Preset to 32 kHz, it will still be 16 bit as you have already seen. It won't stop the sampling mismatch error message -just dismiss it. But your audio will probably still be usable. Give it a try on a short section.
Your camera may have a problem, its not unheard of. Try a different camera if you have the possibility. Some cameras simply will not work well with tapes recorded on a different manufacturers camera.

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.

IMovie will not import or play the clips at the proper speed and the audio and video do not match up.

i have a samsung hd camcorder. it records at 40 fps, but iMovie will not play the clips at the proper speed and the audio and video do not match up. I have tried to record at standard quality to no avail. Help. thanks in advance.

samsung sc-hmx10c ntsc
im guessing that is the speed it records at due to the fact imovie puts a blue 40 at the top left corner of every clip i import.

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.

Capturing-audio sample rate

I have fce hd v 3.5. My camera is a sony dcr-trv11. I am trying to "capture now" but it looks like I am dropping frames. When i hit "esc" it stops capture of course, but I get a message that reads "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 ans 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." Okay, so how do I do that? When I originally captured my footage with imovie I had no problems. I had trouble importing them to FCE so I scrapped them all and decided to start from scratch with FCE. I have 199.5 GB of free space.

Most miniDV cameras can be set to record audio as 12-bit or 16-bit; and most of them come set to 12-bit as the default.
Your preset (easy setup) in FCE has to match both the video & audio setup of your camera. Normally, you would select the DV-NTSC easy setup in FCE, which would give you a sequence that expects DV-NTSC video and 16-bit (aka 48KHz) audio. If your video was recorded as 12-bit (aka 32KHz) audio, but you captured into a 16-bit (48KHz) sequence in FCE, that would give you the mismatch.
Check your camera - if it was set to 12 bit audio for the tape you are trying to capture, then in FCE you should select the DV-NTSC 32KHz easy setup for your sequence before you capture your tape.
There are many different reasons you might be getting dropped frames - can you tell us more about your exact setup, esp. if you have an external HD connected to your system. Oh, and by the way, 512MB is the bare minimum to run FCE, you will find things much better overall if you upgrade to at least 1GB.

Green & Pink horizontal Lines? and Audio Sample Rate? Help, Please!

I have just successfully completed one short film. I'm believe I'm doing exactly the same as before but I'm running into problems. Used a Panasonic PV-GS300 camcorder with mini DV. Then a Sony DSR-11 deck. When I capture there are green and pink bars within horizontal lines over the image in the viewer. When I end the capture I get the message 'the audio sample rate of captured media files does not match the sample rate on you source tape. Video and audio out of sync.' The captured film clip audio rate is 48.0 KHz, the audio format is 16-bit integer, the audio is 2 Mono and the tracks are 1V 2A. Any suggestions, help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry about that, I'm away from my FC system, so I can't refer to it. You should choose DV-NTSC in Easy Setup as a starting point, then if the audio settings of your footage are different from 48kHz 16-bit, then you can easily change the capture settings to match.

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

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...

Mismatching Audio Sample Rates Upon Capture

I recently bought a cheap MiniDv JVC video camera, and I am having trouble capturing video and audio together in FCP 6.0. The capture seems fine, but when I finish an error pops up which reads: "The Audio Sample rate in your presets does not match the one on your source tape." As a result there is a delay between the video and audio tracks that creates huge amounts of extra work.
My video camera captures sound in 12-bit format, and from what I understand that usually corresponds to a 32MHz sample rate. I can't find any 32 MHz presets in the Easy Set Ups or other menus, the system seems geared entirely towards 48 MHz sound. I've messed around with some different combinations of settings, but so far to no avail. Any help someone can give me will be much appreciated.

You might want to duplicate the capture preset for DV/NTSC 48k and change the audio to 32k.
Then try that.
But I'd also change the JVC's audio settings to record in 48 while you're waiting. Should be able to do it... cheap or not.

Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device.

Sometimes, while playing back my software instrument songs, I get an intermittent pop-up error message, saying "Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device."
(Sometimes the five digit number is different, but remains a five-digit number beginning with "4".)
Simultaneously, the song stops until I press the "Okay" button in the pop-up window.
When I continue to play the song, the sound is jerky and clipped, and the playhead doesn't keep up with the song, and then suddenly jumps to the part of the song currently being played.
There's also a sound of static.
The issue seems to occur whether or not I have my MIDI controller turned on and plugged into my desktop Imac.

Live Capture with a camera via firewire and usb audio interface

I am trying to do a live capture through Final Cut 7.
I want the video feed through the firewire from my HVX200 and the audio feed from a 4 channel usb audio interface (Alesis iO4).
When I have both audio and video input coming in from the HVX200, the live capture works fine.
However, when I change the audio input so that it is coming from the usb audio interface, final cut has an error message saying "Video is not available."
During the preview, I see the video clearly and am getting levels from the iO4.
But when I try to capture, I get the error message.
Is it a processor issue (I've attached my specs below) with problems handling 2 separate inputs?
I'm not quite sure what the problem is.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi MtD,
Yes I am changing the Capture preset to iO4. Once that happens, it lets me run both the camera and the iO4 into the laptop but then an error message pops up the moment I try to capture it.
I was only trying to use 3 out of the 4 channels of the iO4.
Thanks!

How do I capture at an audio sample rate of 44.1 KHz?

Hey,
I'm wanting to capture some footage that's been recorded at a 44.1 KHz sample rate. Presets on FCP 5 only have 48 KHz.
How do I change this?

I just checked the import settings on two other editing systems I use... Canopus DV Storm II and the Matrox RTX 100 Extreme. Only the Canopus has a preset for 44.1k import. Even Adobe Premiere, using the native IEEE 1394 connection, doesn't have it. I am not sure if FCP has a "CUSTOM" import dialog that might allow you to manualy select?

How can I ensure that the audio sample rate of my capture preset matches?

Hi
1. I have found that none of my ten projects has sound, although audio meters & settings moves up & down.
Simultaniously, canvas displays that In: Not Set- & Out Not Set. Below those reads: Video V1: 00:03:42;13 Audio A1: 00:03:42;13 A2: 00:42;13. These happen on the images of all my ten projects when the playhead stops in timeline
2. In Viewer the In & Out sets show a thin red line connecting them.
I never had this problem before. A/V of all projects were doing just fine till last night.
I wonder if these issues are interrelated, or if I may have clicked something wrongly that has triggered this, which I don't remember now.
I would appreciate it if you could kindly address this problem and help me to resolve the isssue. Thank you. Faruk.

The red line indicates the audio must be rendered. This may be caused by several things but your playback settings may be set too high for your system to handle. You may have too many audio tracks for your computer to play in realtime.
Select one of the audio files in the timeline, get properties, not the audio format and sampling rate.
Now got to Sequence>Settings and determine if the settings match your audio settings.
Your online help system can guide you through adjusting your system settings, user settings and sequence settings.

Logic Express 7.2 painfully slow loading ESX24 and JamPack audio samples

Logic Express 7.2 is painfully slow loading ESX24 and JamPack instrument audio samples. The hard drives very busy as if Logic is searching for the files. Garageband loads the JamPack audio files almost instantly. Don't have this problem with Logic Pro on my G5, only Express on my MacBook Pro.
Have updated to 7.2.1 but no change.
Anybody else experienced this? Any tips appreciated.

Hi Jorge,
You are absolutely right, it's just the first time I load the samples. What's strange is that it's happening with JampPack 4, it took about three minutes to load one of the string intruments, but when I closed that instrument and opened esx the same string intrument was loaded. I don't remeber this taking so long on my G5 though!
Thanks for your help Jorge.

Maximum audio sample rate and bit depth question

Anyone worked out what the maximum sample rates and bit depths AppleTV can output are?
I'm digitising some old LPs and while I suspect I can get away with 48kHz sample rate and 16 bit depth, I'm not sure about 96kHz sample rate or 24bit resolution.
If I import recordings as AIFFs or WAVs to iTunes it shows the recording parameters in iTunes, but my old Yamaha processor which accepts PCM doesn't show the source data values, though I know it can handle 96kHz 24bit from DVD audio.
It takes no more time recording at any available sample rates or bit depths, so I might as well maximise an album's recording quality for archiving to DVD/posterity as I only want to do each LP once!
If AppleTV downsamples however there wouldn't be much point streaming higher rates.
I wonder how many people out there stream uncompressed audio to AppleTV? With external drives which will hold several hundred uncompressed CD albums is there any good reason not to these days when you are playing back via your hi-fi? (I confess most of my music is in MP3 format just because i haven't got round to ripping again uncompressed for AppleTV).
No doubt there'll be a deluge of comments saying that recording LPs at high quality settings is a waste of time, but some of us still prefer the sound of vinyl over CD...
AC

I guess the answer to this question relies on someone having an external digital amp/decoder/processor that can display the source sample rate and bit depth during playback, together with some suitable 'demo' files.

My SSD is too fast.. and software can't access folders on startup!

Hi,
i've installed an SSD drive on my Mac Pro where i have OSX and software. Also i use Apple Raid Card with 4 HHD in Raid5.
The problem is that when i startup my Mac, software like Itunes, Dropbox, Google Drive and others, try to access to theirs libraries and folders they can't, giving me errors like folder not found, because the Raid drive is still "booting" up... Too late for the ssd..
I have this problem about 7 times on 10...
Someone have any idea how to solve it without turn off the startup items in the preferences????
Thank you all
Dave
