Frames rates encode to audio files

Hello,
I am not a Soundtrack pro user nor a Final cut pro user, (I use REAPER, and other audio programs); however, I got two people who called me asking (because I am apparently there only audio person they know) "how to change the frame rate on audio already recorded?" One person used the zoom H4N, and the other used a MAudio (?) recorder.. I looked them up and there is no encode to match the frame rate of the film to the sound. It seems that both recorders have no function to do frame rate encoding. (film speed was 24 frames not 30 frames.)
Is there a function to change the audio encode to match the frame rate of the film with in these programs?
What I know is sound is sound; 10 min of footage equals 10 min of audio. It is the encode that tells the film edit tool this is to match 24 frame or 30 frame.
I have looked into the manuals (table of contents) of Final cut pro and Soundtrack pro and not found the key words "Frame rate change to audio files" or "encode to audio files for frame rate"... I also looked online with the words "Frame rate change for Audio files" and "Audio encode frame rate change."
Can anyone help me to pass this information back to these people?
Thank you!

Tell them to change the sample rate to 48khz/16bit. Straight audio does not have a frame rate.

Change frame rate on an AC3 files?

I've been given two NTSC (23.98 fps) .ac3 files (5.1 Dolby Digital EX and 6.1 DTS-ES) that I need to use in a PAL 25fps project. Any suggestions as to how to change the frame rate to match my PAL encodes?

You shouldn't have to change the 'frame rate' of your .ac3 sound files. Both PAL & NTSC video use the same sound formats. The only problem you might run into is if you changed the duration of the video when you did the video conversion. Hint - keep the durations the same.
Have you have changed the duration of your video versions? If so then start by decoding your .ac3s and then running them through a 'time-strectching' program before re-encoding them to .ac3. Not very elegant I'm afraid.

Is there a way to change the frame rate on an audio clip in the source monitor?

Premiere CC6. I am trying to sync audio and video by using "Merge Clips" but the audio seems to be counted in a 29.97 rate while the video is 23.98. The sound person on set swears the audio TC should match the smart slate and that the frame rate is 23.98. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.

I think I may have solved it, actually. I find that if I switch the timecode to NDF in the source viewer, it seems to work. I have tried it on three clips and they have sync'd without problems. Hopefully this will continue to be the case.

Exporting DPX sequence: frame rate incorrect in exported file

Hello all, I'm new here. I'd really appreciate some help with this issue. My sequence and source files I am working with are 2048x1240, (1.0), 23.976 fps . I am exporting a DPX file sequence with matching settings.
The problem is, when I import that new DPX file sequence back into my Premiere project, or an AE project with the same settings, the new DPX file has a frame rate of 29.97 fps.
I've tried numerous times and checked all my settings. I can't figure out why the new DPX sequence is not 23.976 fps. Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?
here are my export settings, note output and source have matching frame rates:
and here is a screen grab showing the file properties of my new exported DPX sequence, after importing back into Premiere Pro CS5, with a frame rate of 29.97 fps.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
thanks,

Hi there.
I am having the same exact problem, in CS6.
BUT, I have exported this project countless times, and only after my last edit has it started to export at 29. My entire movie is in 23.97. I have tried interpreting the one clip that is 29, but this does not help. It will not allow me to interpret the whole project at once.
Are there any other solutions?

Concerning multiple frame-rates in one export file to perceive important necessary philosophies.

QUESTION
Film=60:00 seconds
first 00:10 seconds=>a 2000FRAMES/s animation,
2nd 00:11-60:00 seconds=> 60FRAMES/s film.
Exports results in one frame-rate, I have done insufficient research as why this is still a limit,
or might not be because of simply not knowing enough yet. I created this story that could
potentially explain our source and the infinite continuation of that and why.
Thank you for your time, and I do appreciate it already if
you read this far. Information regarding the question is fine.

Imagine a movie theater. The projector is running happily away at 24 fps. All of a sudden you want to watch the movie at 60fps. You pick up your cell phone and call the lobby and talk to the manager. He thinks this is an interesting idea so he sends the projectionist up to the booth to look for a speed control on the projector. No luck, this one only runs at 24fps.
That's how video containers work. You render to a container (mov, avi, flv, whatever) and you've just bought a projector with only one speed. If you want to change speeds in the middle you have to have a very special projector. No way around that.
So the answer is that you can't render to the same container with different frame rates.
You can, however, in a single comp, have footage that runs from 1 frame per hour to 99 frames per second. You can interpret the footage placed in a comp at any frame rate from 1 per second to 99 frames per second, which would accomplish what you are trying to do, except for the part that the first hour of the movie rendered movie would contain more than one frame.
There are different types of containers however that can display each frame for a specific time interval. Animated Gif is the simplest movie container of this type. Flash is the most common. These are non standard video containers and you have to control the timing outside of AE.
It would help if we had a little less escortaric posing of your question. What exactly, in an actionable question, are you trying to do and why?

Re-encoding an audio file in-place? Replacing it with a duplicate?

Here's a scenario for you:
Let's say someone sends me a bunch of stems in MP3 or M4A format. Then I drag them into Logic and start adding tracks. Eventually, the system starts getting overloaded by my effects and decoding all of those mp3's on the fly.
So, I seek for ways to unburden Logic from having to decode all of those mp3's in real-time.
One way to do it is to just freeze the track, but let's say I don't want to do that.
I could run each of the mp3's through a converter to convert them to AIFF, but then that creates a problem. Suppose I've chopped the stems into a bunch of different regions. I can't just drag the AIFF in place of the mp3 in the Arrange window because I'll lose all of my edits to the audio clip.
So, I was wondering... is there some way to go to Logic's Audio Bin (or somewhere else in Logic) and select an audio file and tell it "Stop looking at this location for this clip. I want you to get your audio info about it from here, instead"? The only way I can think of to do it is to close the project, delete/move/rename the original file, load the project, and then, when Logic complains about the missing audio, select "Locate" and force it to the file you want to switch to. But I was hoping there was a slicker way to "re-source" a clip.
Even cooler would be if Logic could do all of this and the conversion for me in one swoop... to be able to select an audio clip and say "Convert to AIFF" or "Convert to WAV". I looked in the clip-editing menus and didn't see anything promising.
Any ideas?

Select all in the audio bin, then in its submenu, 'copy/convert files', then choose AIF or WAV, whichever you like. Done.
Btw, it's not the best idea to be working with mp3s or any other kind of compressed audio format in Logic. Yes, converting them to a non-compressed format will unburden your system of on-the-fly uncompressing, but all the flaws in the sound from the compression process will still be left behind. If you're being sent stems in this format because you're working at a distance and are delivering via the internet, it might be worth looking into other file delivery methods so as to allow sending/receiving full res stems.
There are free online server facilities you can use for this like yousendit.com or dropbox.com (my personal favourite), they are free up to a point but also offer premium services for a decent price if you have larger amounts of data to shift around.
IMO, dropbox is about a trillion times better than .mac or mobile me or whatever they call it these days. It has an excellent feature where you can create a shared folder with someone else (or multiple people), which is perfect for collaboration from a distance. Everyone that is subscribed to that shared folder just sees it on their drive like it's a regular folder, but whenever anyone adds anything or removes anything from it, it updates automatically and in the background for all users. So you can be happily working away, all the while a new bunch of stems are being transferred to your computer without any complicated server skills required from anyone. I use this all the time when collaborating with a writing partner in LA, she is not especially tech savvy but it was no trouble at all to set this up with her.

Adobe Media Encoder different audio file to video file.

Hello,
I've been encoding files from several different DVD's and when I play the encoded file the video is correct but the audio is from a completely different file. This is I am assuming is because the file names on the DVD's are the same i.e. VTS_01_1.. etc. When I realised it was doing this I permanently deleted the incorrectly encoded files, sorted all of the correctly encoded files into seperate folders for each DVD. This did not work even though media encoder was creating new file names for each file it encoded. I then re-named all of the correct files and re-named the files that I was about to encode. I have also cleared the media cache database. The files on the DVD's are fine and play as they should with the correct audio. What do I need to do to get the files to encode with the correct audio?!!! Thank you!

Try this - in Project Bin, right-click the clip in question and select "Make Offline". Then right-click again and choose "Link Media" and point it to the correct source file. Could be that the pointers got all confused as like you said, as sources had the same names.
If that fails to resolve the problem - cleaning the Media Cache only works for projects that no longer exist, or are on a drive that is disconnected. Assuming that maybe the Conformed audio that is being used in the background is messed up, try this - close Premiere, then RENAME the project file, for instance add an "x" to beginning of filename. Now open Premiere (new project), then clean the cache again. Since it can't find your project, it should then remove all temp renders from the drive for that project.
Next, rename project to original name and open and it should conform audio again as if just adding media for the first time. Hopefully for correct clips this time, if you have moved media around on drive to eliminate overlap of file names.

Different frame rate encoding on tape (24p & 24pa)

Hi,
I usually record to tape with my dvx100 using 24pa, but sometimes the quick setup dial was switched accidentally resulting in a different frame encoding, like 24p for example.
Everything is recorded in 29.97fps on mini-dv, we all know that, making apparently no difference b/w 24p and 24pa.
But of course, when i'm trying to capture this footage through FCP, i can't always remove the advanced pulldown because there's a few clips that have been recorded with 24p instead of 24pa.
Questions:
- How can you detect the different encoding on tape, whether it's 24p or 24pa?
- Can you get FCP to create a new clip (at least stop) the capture for those sections of the tape where I have something different than 24pa?
- If nothing like that is possible, how do you solve this problem?
Thanks!

the only pulldown pattern that FCP can remove at capture is 24pA (3:2:2:3). Standard 3:2 pulldown can only be reversed using cinema tools. If you open the clip in cinema tools, you'll need to park the playhead on the first frame of the pulldown cadence for it to correctly remove the pulldown. This will create new copies of your clips, which will take up a corresponding amount of space. There is no way for either FCP or CT to reconize the pulldown cadence of standard 3:2 clips, so you'll have to manually find the A frame of the cadence. If you have a huge number of them to do, you may find it quicker to place each clip in a sequence where you can put the A frame of the cadence as the first frame in the sequence. Export these as a batch of reference movies, and you should be able to do a batch inverse telecine on them in Cinema Tools.
These new clips will no longer match the timecode of your tapes, so if you remove the original 29.97 media, you should at least keep the offline 29.97 clips in your project in case you need to recapture.
Hope this helps -

Encode selected audio files?

Does anyone know what this means or where I can read about this function?
I don't see anything happening and I don't know what it is supposed to do.
Thanks in advance!

Jim, Thanks for the reply! I understand a little more now, but I am wondering what the purpose of 'encoding' really is? Why would I need to encode a file?
As an example, I would like to take a weav file and create an mp3 with it...will this method do that?
Thanks again.

What frame rate should you build your Flash file at?

Every second of video has 30 frames. But Flash animations can
be done at any frame rate, which raises a couple of important
questions:what frame rate should you work at, and second, if you
choose to work at a rate other than 30 frames per second (fps), how
do you convert to 30 fps? I deal with the question of frame rate
conversion below.
You can create a Flash movie at 30 fps. But if is going to be
played back on a computer, a 30 fps .swf file will generally
produce unacceptably high data rates, unless the image is very
small and simple, or the computer it is playing on is very fast. It
can also create a lot of extra animation work if you want to draw
in-betweens for all 30 frames. Fortunately, there is no need to
build your Flash movie at 30 fps, even if you are planning to
transfer it to video.
I usually build animation that needs to work on the web or
video at 12 fps. This gives us a good balance of lower data rates
and smoother animation. When creating cartoon style animation, it
also keeps our work consistent with the majority of broadcast
animation. While some high end cel animation is done at 24 frames
per second (the rate that film is projected at), much broadcast
animation is created at 12 fps. This is because it is drawn on
"2's." In other words, each image holds for 2 frames. Do the math
and it becomes clear why--half the amount of frames to draw each
second. While Disney and Dreamworks may have virtually unlimited
budgets to create their epic animations, most broadcast (and even
more so, Internet) productions are on very tight budgets. But even
the big studios do a lot of character animation on 2's. It looks
good that way, so why create twice the work?
If we are using flash to build a cartoon solely aimed at
broadcast or film, however, we build it at 24 fps. That way we can
animate on 2's for most of the character animation, but do animate
on 1's for segments or particular motions that require smoother
animation.
If we are using Flash to build graphics for broadcast use
only, and so won't be hand drawing in betweens, we usually build
the file at 30 fps. This will give us the smoothest motion, and
data rate won't be an issue for you. It is also possible to even
build it at 60 fps, and convert this to a 30 fps video with fields
In the end, you can decide to build it at any rate you want.
The lower the rate, the smaller the file size, data rate and number
of frames to animate, but the less smooth the animation.
Conversely, the higher the frame rate, the higher the file size,
data rate and number of frames to animate, but with smoother
animation.
now I use
FLASH VIDEO MX PRO
to covnert Video in multiple formats to FLV or SWF, I set the frame
size just as above, I always get soomth Flash
at the meantime, I have to set video rate when I use
FLV To Video Convert
Pro to play the video in my iPod, if you set the wrong frame
rate, your iPod and other devices may not support the frame rate

Usually video quality has nothing with frame rate, but when
you convert flash to iPhone or other devices, you should think of
which frame rate video can your device play. when I convert .swf to
iPhone with
SWF to Video
Converter, as you know, iPhone can only support frame rate from
2 to 15 or a little more, I always choose 15. In this scare, frame
rate is higher, the quality is better.

Change frame rate in quicktime

is it possible to change the frame rate of a .mov file?? It set itself to 23,71 fps.
Thank you
Im editing on a PC

1080i59.94 is still 30fps, running at 29.97. The "i" means INTERLACED, and then the number following that refers to FIELDS per second, not frames. 2 fields per frame, so 60 FIELDS per second...30 FRAMES per second.
And don't worry, if your footage is progressive, and you output a 1080i.59.94 file...both fields in the frame will be the same...It'll still be progressive.

Can you adjust the frame rate with quicktime?

I need to slow the frame rate on an .avi file, and I can find how to do that in big chunks, but how to fine tune. Is this possible on the latest release (just downloaded it) and if not can someone tell me what I can use to change the framer ate on the .avi itself (either way is fine)
I am SO not tech savvy so please assume you are replying to an idiot but thank you very much in advance for any help.

p.s. I discovered that holding the option button and the fast forward give me this control for speeding things up, but I can't figure out how to slow it down - sorry for the missing info

Frame Rate help

I have a project that requires me to intercut video footage of a presentation with a Keynote deck. The video of the presentation was shot with a single camera (not by me) at 1920x1080 at 23.98 FPS. You can't see the Keynote slides on the projection screen behind the speaker, hence the need to intercut slides into the video.
I want to use FCP's multiclip to edit the Keynote slides (exported as a mov) and presentation video together.
I have the original Keynote file, but I can't seem to make the Keynote app export at 23.98 FPS. If I export it at 24 FPS, and try to make a multiclip, FCP throws an error about frame rates not matching (because the video footage is 23.98 FPS).
So, if I can't get Keynote to play nice, do I need to convert the presentation footage from 23.98 FPS to 24 FPS? If so, what's the best way to do it?
Thanks!

although cinema tools may seem daunting, using the conform option is very simple. First, I would duplicate your file (for safety sake as cinematools actually changes the frame rate of the original file). Then open your file in cinematools. File: open clip. A window opens and at the bottom about two-thirds to the right is a button "conform." Click that and a window opens called Conform Clip. Simply choose the desired frame rate and click the conform button. That's it. CinemaTools is (if I understand correctly) simply changing the metadata for the file so instead of playing back at your original frame rate, it plays back at the new frame rate. If you conform from 24fps to 23.98 you will actually be slowing down your clip slightly. But each frame is still a discrete frame and no interpolation, creation or deleting of frames happens.
