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.

  • 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?

  • How do i change the audio sample rate in motion 5?

    Hello,
    here's a simple question.  I import 48 Khz audio into the project, but when I go to export the summery says the audios will be exported at 44 Khz. Why is that and how do I export in 48 Khz?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    I'll see if I can muddle through this.
    According to the documentation, Motion converts everything internally to 44.1kHz 16-bit. There's no way to change this.
    To export in 48kHz, you need to quit Motion. From the Finder > Go > Utilities.  Open the Audio MIDI Setup application.  For (all) outputs, set the sample rate(s) to 48.000 kHz (and 2  -  24 bit if available [32bit float might work as well]).  Quit Audio MIDI Setup and restart Motion.
    When you go to export from Motion, be aware that the export Summary will still show 44.1kHz (which is thoroughly annoying!), but the exported video will be the audio rate you set in the Setup app:

  • Any way to set DV Audio sample rate in iM4?

    Does the first DV capture determine the project rate or is it always 32K. It was 48K in OS9/iM2.
    Thanks for any ideas/help,

    my son would call you a "Barbie Fan"!!
    sure, that out of sync with longer imports is a frequent issue here ... for NTSC users. (48kHz audio/29.95 fps = ??? there HAS to be a "gap") I don't have any trouble as PALuser on that, but I dare to post: import in smaller segments (esp. iM6 users), and try this tool:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Cannot export as WMV - Inconsistent Audio Sample Rate error

    Hello,
    I am getting an error message when I try to export a sequence using quicktime conversion to a WMV. "Inconsistent Audio Sample Rate - The media you are exporting contains audio with multiple sample rates".
    I used Soundtrack Pro for the first time- to analysis and fix an audio file with pops. It worked wonderfully. I don't have much experience with this program and the audio is set to 32-bit stereo with a file ext stp. Not sure how to change this or if I need to.
    I have done some tests and I have no problem exporting as a quicktime. I am using the latest version of flip4mac software. Your help is appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Chris

    Hi Susan,
    Thanks for your quick reply. The link helped alot.
    For others facing this problem, I found this solution.
    1. Export sequence as a Quicktime movie (not conversion) using current settings and make movie self-contained.
    2. Create a new sequence and change the sequence audio setting (under sequence-general) to 44.1 kHz - Dept 16-bit config default
    3. Drag your Quicktime movie into this new sequence.
    4. Export using Quicktime conversion to WMV with these settings for audio.
    5. WMA9 Standard - One pass, CBR at 64kbps, 44.1 khz, Stereo.
    Voila.
    I have struggled with flip4mac from the start. Never had any luck using the 2 pass method which 1'm told is better quality. Tech support at the flip4mac discussion group generated much discussion but no solution. I have settled with single pass quality in order to get the job done.
    Does any remember the days of linear editing when you delivered a master, protection copy and some VHS dubs and you were done? Oh, I'm showing my age. Ha.Ha.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Geting audio sample rate error, help

    Hey all, been doing a massive project where I ma bring in tons of old 8 mm tapes, hi8 and digital 8. This one tape I brought on though however is giving me grief. 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 files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape.
    If find this odd though cause the tape should be standard, NTSC dv 48 K. Any suggestions. Also how do I reset my final cut so that when I plug in a camera it always reads it as what it recognizes. I ask this because I had to used the setting uncontrollable device because on the original old 8mm tapes there is no time code so I had to capture that way.
    Anyhow, any suggestions on this would be great for if I recapture. Cause I could line it up by eye but want to find the problem so I know for the future. Thank you.
    Nathan

    This is a recent problem that seems related to a recent upgrade of QuickTime. Here's why.
    In the last month, a rash of these posts have begun to appear:
    "DV Capture Audio problem"
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6708693&#6708693
    "audio/video"
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6591262&#6591262
    Plus this thread, plus my own.
    In my case, nothing changed in my operating system or Final Cut Pro version. I upgraded to QuickTime 7.1.6, and the problem began. I have upgraded all the way to 7.4 to no avail. When I attempt to import a DV clip using the same Sony DVCAM deck that imported the same clip in December, I get the error every time. Nothing has changed in the tape, the deck, the Project or Final Cut. I am simply unable to import DV video. I can import other kinds (Panasonic P2, for example), but DV is a no go. I cannot get rid of this error.

  • Audio Sample Rate Query

    Hi FCE users,
    I am about to start capturing 4 hrs of wedding video. I have a fair bit of experience on FCP but am new to FCE and its variations in functionality.
    When I ran a quick capture test, it warned me on completion that the audio sample rates were different. The video was shot in Hungary and I have no way of contacting the videographer, however I assume that it was recorded in 32khz as when I changed the capture preset to this, no warning message occurred. The DV cam I'm using most helpfully doesn't display a bit rate but given that no warning occurs after capture, I'm happy to go with the 32khz preset.
    Most of the articles posted on the net however state that the 'SEQUENCE PRESETS' as well as the 'Capture Presets' need to be changed. Almost all of it relates to FCP, as opposed to FC Express.
    The equivalent on FCE - 'Sequence Settings' doesn't seem to offer a 32khz option, and the Audio Rate shown in the Browser seems to be fixed to 48khz.
    My question is:
    Does the sequence setting variation matter? - Do I assume that given the scaled down functionality of FCE that it takes care of this automatically OR that 48khz is a fixed audio rate for sequences in FCE and all non 48khz audio clips needs to be rendered prior to output.
    No doubt I will be bringing music from CD's in to the project and sequence also, so your help would be greatly appreciated.
    I don't want to bring in 4 hours worth of footage and then have to recapture!
    Thanks for your help!
    Rich

    Thanks for your swift reply Tom.
    I've just re-reviewed the menus. I can display the 12/16 info on record, but it doesn't offer it as a playback display option. However... I've just recorded more footage into FCE and received no error message with the capture preset on 32 so can I be fairly confident that its 32?
    I've just figured out how to change the sequence format to 32 (it seems to be created by default with capture preset set to 32, wheras I was trying to alter an existing sequence).

  • 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.
