PE7 " Unsupported Audio Rate in file " error

Hi
Here's hoping someone can help!
I have a little Fuji digital camera that also does short movies.  We need to edit them together for my daughter's homeowrk project.
However when I try and read in the .avi film using Media downloader,  Premiere elements 7 tells me that the Audio Rate is unsupported and therefore there is an error and they will not import.
By the way, they import into Windows Movie Maker just fine so there does not appear to be a problem with the files themselves.
This is driving me mad as I bought PE7 to do this and it won't work, didn't want to use WMM!
Thanks

For file format conversion, I use DigitalMedia Converter to do batch file conversions. It handles both the Audio and Video and outputs to DV-AVI Type II files with PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit Audio. I'll load it up, point it to an output folder, get a cup of coffee and when I get back, all is done. It is shareware, not freeware, but has worked perfectly for years and many thousands of files, of all sorts of CODEC's. Note that it requires that any necessary CODEC's be installed on the system, as it does not ship with any of its own, which is a good thing in my book. Some converters will add their own CODEC's, and a few will overwrite properly installed CODEC's with versions that are not the ultimate. I like the fact that it works well with all players and other utilities, that I have, so I do not need to install alternatives, or remove anything else, that works on my system. I have used DMC so much, that I have a copy of it on every one of my computers.
Also, check your camera to see if you can set the bit-depth to 16-bit, and the rate to at least 22KHz, for the Audio. Many cameras allow you to adjust this, and that might get your files (for next time) into spec. If you cannot change this setting, then conversion will be your only choice.
Good luck,

  • Unsupported audio rate in file during import

    I have an XVID video I'm trying to import. Premiere stops and displays unsupported audio rate. I'm trying to use Virtualdub to get around this, but Premiere keeps reporting the same audio rate problem. I tried to copy the video with no audio (made a seperate wave file), but Premiere still reported unsupported audio rate.

    I used virtualdub to uncompress both video and audio and that appears to be working.

  • Unsupported audio rate in file

    I am wondering how Premiere Pro 2.0 supported Divx/Xvid but CS4 does not? Or am I missing something?

    DivX and Xvid have caused problems in all versions. Better convert those formats to DV AVI type2 if you want to edit.

  • Unsupported Audio Rate Error

    I stopped using PR4 for a couple of months due to being away etc, and came back to use it only to find that none of my existing projects work and any new vid file I try to add I get an 'Add Media Error' stating "Unsupported audio rate in file"
    I didn't change anything, but it stopped working. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and same error. I use XP Pro SP3.
    This is a new one on me. Any ideas?

    Alan,
    I'd be interested in seeing what G-Spot shows for the CODEC on your AVI. The AVI extension indicates a "wrapper" only. It could contain material of all sorts with dozens, if not hundreds, of different CODECs. G-Spot is a tiny, freeware program (www.headbands.com/gspot), that will give a wealth of info on what is inside many AV format files. It works 100% with AVIs and about 95% with MPEGs. When one gets to WMV and MOV, it does fail to gather data with greater frequencey. G-Spot will also tell you the Audio CODEC used and all data on the sampling rate and bit-depth. (See below)
    My *guess* is that you need a particular CODEC (maybe one of the DivX, or Xvid), that you once had on your system.
    When something once worked, but no longer does, it usually indicates a change in the system. Many folk will upgrade their OS from say XP to Vista, and all of a sudden things do not play, that once did. It usually requires a download and install of some missing CODEC.
    I don't know PE that well, but Pro, Soundbooth and Audition have no problem Importing 44.1KHz 16-bit and up-sampling to 48KHz 16-bit material - mono, or stereo. That *shold* not be a problem.
    Try G-Spot and let us know what it says about your file(s), especially the CODECs used.

    PS if you upgraded from XP-SP2 to SP3 in the down-time, something could have become fritzed there. XP updates seem pretty good at not breaking existing settings, but one never knows. SP2 to SP3 didn't change anything for me on three systems, but that doesn't mean that it would have gone perfectly, if I had four systems.
    PPS I don't know the answer to this, but Barb, or Steve, probably do. Can Alan start a new Project in PE, using the 1024 x 768 x 15fps with a custom setting? He could then Export to whatever his desired format was, after editing. If he's using a DV preset, PE has to do several things: re-code the AVI to DV-AVI, change the dimensions, the FPS and the Audio sampling to 48KHz. That is a lot of work. In Pro, one CAN set the Project to the Assets - I just don't know in PE. (Thanks)

  • Unsupported audio rate file

    How can I fix this

    Welcome to the forum.
    Along with the request for info above, and John T's suggestion for ripping the Audio with Audacity, for Import back into PrE, can you tell us about the Audio portion of your file? The great, free utility, G-SPOT, will give you the details, or it should. Post a screen-cap from G-Spot, and we can see the details. Here is a look at what you want to check:

  • Unsupported audio rate

    I've done a lot of googling on the subject but still can't come up with a solution. I try to import a divx avi with no audio track into premiere pro cs3 but it complains that the ausion rate is unsupported, what do I dO?

    Divx/XVid is just as valid an editing format as DV or Mpeg. Premiere is one of the only applications that can't handle DivX/XVid. Sony Vegas has no problem, and VirtualDub, which is open source freeware, works fine too, as well as almost any media player.
    A work around with Premiere is to convert your files to a different codec. I like the free lagarith lossless codec. Don't convert to DV. DV is a crappy format and the double compression of first DivX/XVid then DV will destroy the quality of your footage.
    Cheers,

  • Possible Solution to "unsupported format or damaged file" errors on relink

    Premeiere CC. I had a project file made on a MacBookPro OSX, had to make it work on Windows. Red footage: .r3d files. Was using same footage drives (formatted as FAT so could read and write on both operating systems), just moved from Mac to Windows. Knew i'd likely have to relink, but encountered problems relinking some of the media. The linker could find it, the files opened normally in Red Cine X, and could even be dragged onto the timeline. But they wouldn't relink!
    Solution was to move my entire footage directory structure, which was at top level, into a brand new top level folder. This worked. I moved everything into a folder called "WindShiv" (call it whatever i assume), then the relinking still had to happen, but it worked this time.
    I don't know if there are other solutions regarding folder structure that would also do the trick, or if now that it sees it i could re-move the directory structure back, but at least this fixed it for me so if you are having the same problems i did try moving your footage folders into a different place on your drive(s). Lucky happy cutting to you.

    For what its worth. I shot some DV 720x480 in 4:3 and 16:9 with my little DV camera and imported footage into my Avid MC. I repeated my earlier - posted steps and when I created and opened up the project in Ppro, this time not only did the sequence and files open up but my footage was on the timeline and I was able to play it without having to link to my Avid Media files! 
    When I tried before, all my footage was originated on BetaSP and DigiBeta at NTSC 720x486. Cannot Ppro bring in NTSC 720x486 or does it have to be NTSC DV 720x480
    As I mentioned before I am a newbie to Ppro. When I created a new project and brought my 16:9 footage in, the source monitor is 16:9 but my sequence is in 4:3. In the Program Monitor I can click and hold the frame and move the 16:9 around within the 4:3 frame. Why is it not letting me see the full 16:9 frame.  I created the project in 16:9. Any suggestions? Thanks

  • Premiere 1.0 Unsupported /damaged file error

    I have some avi files that are coming up with the "unsupported format or damaged file" error. I read other threads and downloaded g-spot to see if there was a codec missing, but there isn't. These are just home movies that I filmed using a mini-dv recoreder. I have other files that were taped using the same camera just days before/after the unsupported ones that import just fine, so I don't understand how they are different. I can also view them without any problems using Nero.

    With all of the updates and changes to programs like Windows Media Player, Quicktime, Flash and others, it may be time to upgrade to the latest version of Premiere Elements?

  • Unsupported format or damaged file very sudden

    I have been working in cs4 pro on a project for about a month. It is composed of a series of four second clips. There has been no problems with the files at all. I am now getting the media offline red box. When I attempt to link I am getting the unsupported format or damaged file error. This is out of nowhere. Using files stored on an external. I am a curator and have a show Today! anybody out there that can help please?

    I also copied the source file to another location and tried to relink to it. Still gave me the same error. How would my files self-destruct spontaneously? I am really confused. My film is completely ready to go other than I can't see the images. Can I export in this state?

  • Adobe premier cc stopped importing avi files with PCM audio codec, unsupported audio format

    We were working just fine using Adobe premier pro cc, we captured videos in avi format video codec MJPEC audio codec PCM. Suddenly, I think after updating using cc, premier stopped importing any file giving the following Error message: The file contains an unsupported Audio format. We have captured more than 4000 hr from our library, and we are still capturing, our work is completlty freezed, we can not export to any format since we can not import in the first place. Our rivals in the market are taking our client and they are using old premier cs6 cracked version, this is ridiculous!! I installed adobe cs6 trial and it is working fine, this is very frustrating.
    I tried to insert an image of what gspot is giving me but for a certain reason it is not uploaded. Please help.

  • File Error: Wrong Type with MPEG-4 Audio File

    Help! I am trying to import an MPEG-4 Audio File into Final Cut Express2 but I keep getting a 'File Error: Wrong Type' message. Is there anything I can do to solve this problem. I really need this song for my video. PQu

    iTunes - check your iTunes preferences:
    Preferences > Importing -
    - select Import Using AIFF encoding
    - select Custom
    - select Sample Rate 48.000 kHz
    - select Sample Size 16 bit
    - select Channels stereo
    Then import your MP4 into iTunes
    Then control-click on the track name in iTunes, select Show Song File, which will open a Finder window from which you can copy your AIFF file to any location you want it.

  • Unsupported sample rate error?

    Randomly soundtrack pro has corrupted itself, I will be working on a project one day, close out open it the next day and when I try to playback I hear lots of chop. I then noticed that none of the sample loops will play, they just cut off after half a second of playing. In the general tab I enabled Alerts- I get the following error *"UNSUPPORTED SAMPLE RATE, The output device cannot support the sample rate of this project. The output will play at a rate of 44.1 KHz. When you export a project mix, it will be exported at the project sample rate."* any clues??

    Check the sample rate of your audio hardware.
    If you are monitoring through your Mac then look at *Audio Midi Setup.app* found in your Utilities folder, and make sure the audio output samplerate matches your project.

  • Download Helper, even with paid converter upgrade, gives "Invalid Capture File" errors and will not record audio, with "File Creation Error - Unable to rename/copy audio file" Error.

    Download Helper Screen Capture worked to capture video if the default "no audio" option is active. But, no audio. The "speakers" or "microphone" audio options are confusing....the audio to be captured is from the video, so what do you choose? With either "speakers" or "microphone" selected, the captured file has poor audio and no video. Re-capture efforts (speakers) get "Invalid capture file error" and "File Creation error- Unable to rename/copy audio file"
    The paid upgrade of "Converter" doesn't work.
    Instructive documentation - not very good.
    Suggestions - Need time delay between initiation of "Record" and starting the video to be recorded.
    Could use timer tracking of the record process.
    Are there operating system limitations? (Have Windows XP Pro)

    That is an issue for the developer of that Download Helper.

  • In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins?

    In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins. I have try reinstalling aperture three times, deleting plists a few times, reinstalling plugins, restarting my MacBook Pro many times. Everything I've tried may fix the problem for a very short while and I can export a few photos before it returns. The problem happens with topaz and photomatrix pro plugins after I edited and try to export version.

    I had the same problem with the Photomatix plug-in and this solved it for me. I realised it only happened with Photomatix and not other plug-ins so I checked where the plug-ins were installed. The Photomatix plug-in was installed in
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
    where ~ is the home location for the current user account. All the other plug-ins however were installed in
    Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
    which is the location that makes them available to all user accounts on your Mac. Moving the Photomatix plug-in to this location solved the problem for me.
    Note that the Library directory under the first location is normally hidden, to get to it hold down the Option (Alt) key and select it from the Finder Go menu.
