Query re sampling rates when importing from CD in UK

Hi again. I was going to try to import a track from a CD via iTunes and convert it. I know that the rate is 44.1 before converting it in iTunes, but i'm unsure which raye to con vert to. my FCE setup is Pal 32Khz, therefor should I be converting to that rate to import into my project?
Again your help is much appreciated. Denis

Thanks Tom. I was perusing the manual while I was waiting read the bit about checking the Seqence settings. on going to Sequence>settings I noted that the audio rate was 32.0 KHz and the format was 32bit floating point, which it states I should match.
Thank again from one of the newbies following you Editing workshop and your video 'Final Cut Express HD Made Easy'

  • Convert Sample Rate on Import- does not work

    Setting: *"Automatically convert sample rate of imported audio"*
    You'll want to set this if you have audio on your computer
    that wasn't sampled at 44k. It prevents your imported audio from
    sounding like Mickey Mouse drinking a gallon of espresso and inhaling helium.
    HOWEVER...It does NOT work when you drag audio into the project from
    Logic's internal File Browser.
    Dragging audio into the project from Logic's Browser,
    or browsing to the file in Logic's Browser and choosing to
    "Add selected Files to Audio Bin",
    will NOT convert to the audio's sample rate.
    Sample rate of your audio is only converted if you do: "Import audio file",
    then browse to the file(again) in a popup browser dialog, and then choose import.
    If the audio is already in your Audio Bin, choosing "Convert File"
    will bring up another Finder Dialog asking you where you want the
    converted audio to be placed.
    Now you'll have to Browse (yet again) to the song's folder, because that's where
    you'll probably want it anyway, and choose to put
    your converted audio into the song's folder.
    Please realize: If a composer or producer wants his/her audio to sound like
    Mickey Mouse on Helium and Espresso, he will do it after the fact, on purpose, using a plugin.
    Is it too much to ask, to have this Setting do what it says it does, with ALL audio brought into the song?
    No matter how I bring audio material into a Project, the sample rate should always conform
    to the Project's sample rate.

    Hi there
    I've been using Captivate since version 1. And to be honest, I'm not sure I've ever seen the option work. If it does work, I'd also like to know under what conditions it works. Perhaps it only works with certain applications. I'm not sure. Largely I've ignored the option exists because I've never recorded anything where I wanted tooltips to be an option. I've never wanted to simulate to that detail.
    You should probably consider filing a bug report.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How Can I Delete Originals I Don't Care to Keep When Importing From SD Card?

    Hi All,
    Just installed LR3 thanks to Santa. Have been going thru the video tutorials as well as the Lightroom_3_Help PDF and Lightroom-GettingStarted_Lo PDF but I can't figure out how to simply delete files from the gitgo when importing from SD Card or from my HDD (files already moved to HDD but not yet culled or imported into LR3). I was hoping I could, in LIBRARY, just r/c on a file that is plainly not worth keeping and just delete it so I dont have to do it later. Seems like I could, this way, be able to concentrate more on the shots requiring editing.
    Also, need suggestions as to how I should import my files using DNG, Copy, Move, or Add. First off, I am not a working pro but am an occasional serious amateur. I'm picky and I like things to look good the first time and I like options.  The pix already on my HDD are in the PICTURES folder; those imported from SD card get moved to that PICTURES folder. I have, in the past, moved the processed verssions to a different DESTINATION folder - now I still have the originals and I have processed copies to post and share.
    I understand that LR3 does ND editing but I assume that if I only keep a DNG then any time I want a JPEG or PNG of a picture I have to open LR3 to make one. Since I only have been shooting a few hundred pix a year (though with my new D5000 this will change) I am not gonna load up my HDD any time soon. So, is there a way I can make a DNG file, keep the original RAW or JPEG file AND save a processed JPEG or PNG copy in my DESTINATION folder in one swell foop?
    Thanks in advance,
    Phil in San Diego

    The LR Exchange site has three plug-ins that allow you to keep a "mirror" copy of your DNG/RAW images in JPG format for use by others without having to go into LR and generate them when needed.  The link is:

    One of them should help you with this.

  • When importing from camera into aperture, photo's are also copied to my desktop, if i delete from desktop i am unable to edit photo in aperture. Must have done something, but what?

    Have a look at your import setting specifically Store Files:
    Make sure it is set to where you want the originals to go.
    Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Don;t empty the system trash. The originals that you deleted from the Desktop are in there and are the only copies you have unless they are still in the camera.

  • When importing from a Word document placing the text in InDesign

    When importing from a Word document placing the text in InDesign I can only see the text from the first page of the Word document. I have increased the number of pages in the Indesign document to more than what is in the Word document, still only text from the first page is shown. What am I doing wrong or did I not set a setting correctly?

    When you want to auto flow text while placing, hold down the Shift key when clicking with the Place cursor on the first page. New pages will be generated and text will be auto flowed using the margins set up on the master page.

    When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

    There is an option in your Lightroom preferences on the General tab, "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate images". If you have that option checked then Lightroom will import and display both your raw and JPEG files. Are you using active D-lighting on your camera? If you are then you need to turn off that feature.

  • Aperture Import destination grayed out when importing from iPad

    I'm trying to import a bunch of photos from my iPad. I want to dump them all in one project in Aperture, but after selecting the iPad from the import source list, it grays out the options to select the destination. It also grays out the option to uncheck the Autosplit events. I do not want to do this import and then have to go back and merge 20 projects.  Any ideas?

    It' how Aperture works with the iPad see Aperture 3: Photos are not split into projects by date when importing from iPad as well as other threads here asking similar questions

  • Wrong capture time when importing from iPhoto to FCPX

    I am experiencing a strange problem when importing from iPhoto to FCPX. If I open the info panel in iPhoto I see the real date/time when the picture was taken, but if I import them to an event in FCPX using the PHotos Browser and I check the info it shows the time when the image was imported to IPhoto and everything gets messed up.
    I have search for somebody with same problem but I have not found anything so far.
    MY workaround is to import directy onto the timeline, but it is... well, a workaround.
    Thanks in advance

    Why is knowing that important during the edit?
    Yes, FCP only shows the date imported" date metadata.  Future updates of FCP X I assume will add more metadata support, such as Creation Date and Modification Date, since metadata is vital to FCP X and there are some metadata handling features that are on the way. 

  • How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
    It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

  • Problem with audio sample rate when exporting

    I am having an issue with my audio sample rate. For some reason it is set at 8 khz by defualt when I am exporting. This was not an issue until the latest update (2 weeks ago). I'll try and give all the info I can up front. Also I tried customer support...that was a nightmare.
    Ok the issue I am addressing is that the audio sample rate when exporting is at 8khz by default. Which to my knowledge has NO relevant use what so ever. Even when I set the file format to h.264 it insists on resetting to 8khz. Even if I manually set everything look at the render queue and click on output module again it changes the sample rate back to 8 khz automatically which I must adjust again. Why can it not just be set at 48000 like every other adobe product is and like it used to be two weeks ago. Does anybody have an answer?

    This problem is addressed by the After Effects CC (12.2.1) bug-fix update, which is now available:

  • Converting sample rate when exporting

    CS5.5
    I'm using Audition to do some final mastering to 16-bit stereo 44100 wav files, in 32 float multi-track sessions.
    All I'm doing is increasing the clip gain, then exporting to 16-bit stereo 44100 wave and 320 mp3.
    I'm not changing the sample rate, channels or bit depth, but I am applying triangular dither when exporting.
    The thing I've noticed is even though I'm not changing any of the properties of the files, when exporting Audition still tells me its "converting sample rate", despite the sample rate being the same as the source (44100). The quality advanced tab on the sample rate is greyed out.
    Also, when I check the history box for the newly exported files it tells me "convert sample type on save as"
    What is Audition doing at this stage?
    How can it be converting the sample rate, when the sample rate is the exact same as the source? And the quality tab for sample rate conversion is greyed out?
    All I'm doing is upping the clip gain slightly and then applying dither to these files. No sample rates are changed.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Except that you are...
    If you open a 16-bit file as a 32-bit float, then you've changed the bit depth. It's the right thing to do if you are doing amplitude changes, as it makes any change effectively lossless, but it will still have to be converted back to 16-bit if you elect to store it like that.
