How to Convert 44.1 to 48k in the timeline

Working on FCP 5 I imported a couple of music cues iat 44.1. Is there a quick and easy way to convert these tracks to 48K without leaving the project? Thanks

IN FCP? Only way is to render. Best to go outside FCP...
#5 Imported music from CD or iTunes
Shane's Stock Answer #5: Importing music from CD or iTunes
To get music into FCP, it needs to be an AIFF file at 48khz, 16 bit stereo. So if you want a song from a CD, you go into the iTunes Preferences, click on ADVANCED and set this up under the IMPORTING tab:
AIFF
Sample Rate - 48.000 kHz
Sample size - 16 bit
Channels - Stereo
If you have an mp3 that you want to use, then you can convert it thru iTunes as well. As long as this is chosen as your import option, when you select a clip and click on the ADVANCED menu, CONVERT TO AIFF will be an option.
If the piece of music you want to use is something you purchased thru iTunes, I'm afraid I can't help you there. There are copywrite issues that prevent files from being converted into the format that FCP can recognize.

  • How do you move a sound clip in the timeline?

    I have not had this problem before. I have put many songs into the timeline, and repositioned them. Today I pulled up a project and attempted to reposition a song to fit in better with the clip, and I'm unable to do so. I can't select the song, or anything else. Obviously I have set or locked up this track, and I can't figure out how to unlock if that is what I have done. I have 6 songs on that track, Audio track 2, and I can't reposition any of them. I can't even remove them from that track. What am I doing wrong?

    Hunt, most of my music files, over 9000 songs, are mostly mp3 files and a few are wma, and because of copyright laws I wouldn't use them in a commercial project I'm working on anyway. When I am working on a project for a client I will generally use higher quality WAV files. This project was being done just to learn some new techniques, gain some more experience with PPCS4, and expand my knowledge with the program. I have this huge number of music files and styles to work with, so I can do a great deal of experimentation to see what different songs can do to the mood of the video.
    As a test, I did put the exact same songs into the timeline on a different audio track. The problem track is audio 2, and I duplicated those songs on audio 3. I did the exact same editing. I faded them in and out the same as before. Split one song into 3 sections had parts of it come in and out over a video section of 9 minutes duration. They are working perfectly. I was just working on one section of that project a half hour ago, and I was still able to select and move each of the four songs on that track any way that I wanted to. However, the track just above it in that same timeline, Track 2, is still frozen.
    Hunt, just a moment ago I solved my problem. Still not being that familiar with the program, two days ago I know that I was playing with all of the controls, and I obviously hit one of them without knowing one of its side effects. I hit the show "show track keyframes". I'm sure that you know it, but I didn't realize that when that function is selected, you can't do much else with the track but play with those keyframe. Even though I didn't have the track locked, in the traditional way, it was still, for all practicall reasons, locked. I unchecked that function and now everything is back to normal again on that track.
    Something very simple, as many things turn out to be when you understand it. However, maybe someone else will make the same mistake, and my posting here will help them.
    I will use your suggestions for using .WAV files. Thank you again.

    Subject: How do you move a sound clip in the timeline?
    Terry,
    What is the purpose of using the .WMA files? I'm sure that you have a good reason, but they can be problematic, at best. I only use them as a trasfer medium, when I need to get a DD 5.1 SS soundtrack into Audition for editing. There, I break them out into 6 discrete .WAV files, edit in Multi-track Mode and then usually Export as the 6 discrete WAV's to be encoded to DTS, or similar.
    If you do not have a compelling reason for using the .WMA, try PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit and see if the issues go away.
    Good luck, and let us know how it goes please,

  • How to convert exponential data into number for the downloaded excelsheet

    Hi
    I have downloaded one field data i.e. having char of 50,  into excel sheet and it is displaying as  exponential in the excel sheet. 
    The data numbers should display as text only i.e 1236547896321 and not exponential
    Is anyone can tell how we can do this
    Thanks
    Pallavi

    Hello Pallvai,
    The problem of exponential is with the excel. Excel converts the large numbet into exponential.
    To avoid this you can make the number into text then excel won't convert it into exponential.
    For that you can do a simple trick. Just prefix a single quote ( ' ) in the field.
    eg:
    field = 1236547896321.
    then,
    constants c_quote type c value '''.   "<-- single quote
    concatenate c_quote field into field.
    " This will make the EXCEL to consider this field as text not number and hence it will not be considered
    " as exponential.
    Hope this solves your problem.
    Regards,

  • How do I insert a video clip into the timeline?

    Do you happen to know how I could insert a video clip into the middle of a movie like you do in FCP? Can you add tracks and insert the clip above the spot i need to change for each movie.
    I don't want to render the whole movie (convert it into a MPeg2) each time.

    No - DVD timelines are a little different to FCP. If you need to add a clip to the stream, you need to split the exisitng clip (you could trim it back to where you want to insert the new piece) and drag the new piece onto the same timeline. If you trimmed the existing piece then add another instance of it to the timeline and trim the new part from the left until you get to what you want as the out point.
    If you have a collection of video clips on your DVDSP timeline, simply dragging a new one on will shuffle the others along appropriately. However, the audio will not shuffle with them, and you'll end up moving it all manually.
    The very best thing is to create the timeline precisely as you want it in FCP and encode it to MPEG2 before bringing it in to DVDSP. Remember that DVDSP is not an editor, it is a place to assemble your work - it won't do anything remotely like FCP in that respect.

  • How to go back to frame 1 when the timeline reaches a certain frame?

    I have a timeline that has some label frames at the very end of the timeline. During the timeline a user will hit a button on a frame and will jump to one of the label frames. On the label frame is another button that when clicked - returns the user to the previous frame. How do I make the movie return to frame 1 - without a button - but before it reaches the label frames? In other words, by simply reaching a certain frame in the movie, I want the timeline to go back to frame 1.
    I am using Action Script 3 on a PC
    Thank you.

    Thanks from me as well. I'm trying to make an interactive house simulation game (basic) and hit this issue where the timeline needs to skip to the next segment as several options are available per room (listed one after the other in the timeline). Flash isn't particularly easy to use when it comes to this kind of thing. Is Flash Catalyst CS5 more suited to this?

  • How do I restore my video/audio in the Timeline of my project?

    The whole timeline has windows that are red that say Media Offline.  Where did my video/audio go??
    Where do I find it?  How do I restore it into the timeline I was working on with the project.  When I open the project I also get a question that wants to know where is a specific file pertaining to this project.

    Or, was it on a DVD, that you Imported directly, and now that DVD is not in the drive/burner?
    When media is listed as Off-line, just as Steve mentions, the link between the Project file (.PREL) has been broken. This can happen, when one Moves files, Renames files, or those files are, for some other reason, not where the program last saw them. This ARTICLE will give you a bit more background on the .PREL files, plus some tips on Save/Save_As, etc.
    Usually, one gets warning messages, and PrE will help you locate your files. It does a good job of this. Did you get any messages, when you Opened this Project? Did you Move, or Rename any media files?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How do I delete space between clips in the timeline.

    I am adding several hundred photo's to the timeline. When I add them as a group, the the duration of each photo differs. I select a group of photo's, change the duration to 4.00 seconds and the clips change to 4 seconds but then there is a large space between each clip. Is there a way to select a group of clips in the timeline and have them connect to each other? How can I remove the space between clips?
    Thanks for your help.

    What you are describing happens when you have the position tool selected.
    Hit 'A' to make sure you are using the select tool (also known as the 'Arrow' tool, hence the 'A' shortcut).
    Unfortunately, your screenshots do not show which tool is active, but I am pretty convinced that that is your problem. Like Russ said, their look pretty similar to each other. But they work very differently.
    Here is a picture showing the arrow tool (in blue):
    And here is one with the Position tool (again, in blue):

  • How do I completely remove a clip from the timeline?

    I just bought a mac pro and final cut pro x to go with it (after a couple of years of being used to using adobe on a pc) so apologies if this sounds like a stupid question, but how do I completely delete/remove a clip from the timeline instead of merely 'disabling' it?

    If you have a keyboard without the numerical keypad, then FN delete will delete the clip and replace it with a gap if it's on the primary storyline. If it's a normal Mac keyboard, then the back delete will do the trick.
    You can also lift a clip from the primary storyline by right-clicking and choosing lift from primary storyline, then just delete.

  • How do i reopen a project so it displays in timeline in fce?or how do i load  a saved project into the timeline?

    having saved  project, closed it.
    but then when reopening FCE although the NAME of the project appears in tabs, the  CANVAS and TIMELINE do not appear.,nor after a couple of days of
    trying (my limit with newstuff)  I cannot get the project into the timeline complete so i can start to fine edit etc.
    do i have to reload each clip again? ie start over or is there a way of reloading the closed project so i can go from where i left off?
    hope the cavalry can help....

    The Sequence icon looks like this:
    You may have to trash your FCE Preference files.
    This will reset FCE to it's default installed settings.
    Searching this forum will tell you how.

  • How to convert a file of emails and the attachments to pdf?

    In adobe pro XI, how do you convert a file of emails AND their attachments to pdf?

    Unfortunately, that did not work either. I am thinking this may not be possible (at least with 10.1.3.4). What I was hoping for was that I could audit the presentation catalog groups and users. I want to be able to get a list of all the users and the groups they are listed in. Again, this would be helpful so we do not need to keep an external record. If we are removing access to a user or updating the group, we want to make sure we remove them from all applicable groups (Settings>Administration>Manage Presentation Catalog Groups and Users)

    Regards,

    We can convert a .JSP page content into a .txt file by using MIME type conversion. In this scenario we cannot provide a button, because its an .txt file (not .JSP).
    If you want to print JSP content into a .txt content along with a button to print that page can also be done.
