Sample rate mismatch - FCP7-3/4" Video-Canon ZR40 digitizer.

Using FCP7, I am capturing 3/4" Video w/ Audio using a Canon ZR40 camera as digitizer.  Capture setting of DV NTSC 48khz.  This works fine for VHS capture, but when inputting 3/4" I get the dreaded "Audio sample rate...does not match sample rate on your source tape....."  This setting worked fine for VHS source tapes. Audio is out of sync with video in captured sequence.    What am I doing wrong?

Canon cameras are notorious for recording with nonstandard sampling.   Usually, though, material will capture without synch problems. 
Make sure you have "abort capture on dropped frames" and "create new clip on timecode break" enabled in fcp:  user preferences:  general  and do not capture over a control track break (where you see just "noise" in the video

  • Audible glitching - audio sample rate mismatch?

    I'm capturing some old DV tapes for a friend who no longer has a DV camera to capture from. I've captured into FCE4 and the video looks fine, but all the audio sounds like a sample rate mismatch, that static-y glitch sound that I've heard before in audio programs when there's a sample rate problem. The audio on the captured clip is 16-bit, 48KHz, big endian.
    I'm using a sequence with the DV-NTSC preset with 48KHz audio. I made sure to set it up in Easy Setup beforehand so it would be the same as the sequence. The camcorder I'm using for capture is my old Sony TRV-70 (have also tried my TRV-50). I can't get either camera to tell me what sample rate the tape was shot in; all i can get it to tell me is 16 bit and SP mode. I'm assuming this will be 48KHz?
    When i try capturing with the DV 32KHz easy setup (and sequence) it gives me the error about the sequence rate not matching what's on the tape, and it sounds worse.
    I don't know what camera originally shot the tapes. But the audio sounds perfectly normal coming out of the speaker in my sony camcorder.
    Am I missing something?

    16 bit and SP mode. I'm assuming this will be 48KHz?
    That's correct.
    Make sure the Sequence you select is a 48 kHz choice abd double check that you do not have a PAL/NTSC mix up.

  • Audio problem ( sample rate/ mismatch samplerate )

    Hi everyone,
    I'm using a Macbook white Mid 2010, everything is fine but recenly i bought a USB interface to record music from my instruments ( Mic and guitar ) through garageband..
    I have watched steps on how to connect guitar to garageband, and i did those steps by selecting USB channel as input..
    The problem is every time i test my guitar or microphone, it sounds terrible just like little chipmunk or something. Some ppl told me my sample rate is mismatch. I also was checking around on Audio Midi Setup, i can't change my sample rate for my USB audio interface. The input for it, is 28000KHz, and i was told garageband only accepts 44000KHz.. So i thought my USB interface was having a problem..
    However today i have tested my microphone on my old iMac white, i did plug in my USB interface and microphone, it worked so fine. The sound was not like on my macbook. it just fine and very clear. So my USB interface is not the problem..
    BTW audacity also works fine on my macbook, only garageband..
    Could someone help me? I can give you more details about it..

  • Audition sample rate mismatch

    I have been using Audobe Audition 2.0 for a number of years, and now have upgraded hardware and software (Windows 7 running on a new good spec 64bit Dell), with the intention of running CS6.
    Unfortunately when I go to record, using the same linein as previously, I get the following message:
    "Sample rate of the audio input and output devices do not match. Audio cannot be recorded until this is corrected."
    I think I know what it means, and have ensured (as far as I am aware) that the sound card is set to 44100, 16bit, the same as the settings on Audition, or appear to. So what have I missed. (I do know XP better than 7).
    Many thanks
    Peter G

    You also have to set the sample rate in the Windows Sound control panel. Select your audio source in the Windows Sound Recording panel and click on Properties. GO to the Advanced tab to make sure that the sample rate is set correctly there as well as everywhere else. Hopefully that should sort the problem. This is an extra vaguery of Windos 7 audio drivers.

  • 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).

  • Can I set an arbritrary sampling rate in Biobench (need 60/sec to sync to video)?

    Is there a way to set a sampling rate that is not in the drop-down menu in Biobench? Thanks!

    Hi George,
    BioBench comes with a set of predefined sampling rates. I encourage you to try using LabVIEW to trigger/sync your DAQ with video. The sample freq. in BB are std. for low freq. biomedical signals.
    Please let me know if you have any further questions.

  • Sample rate/quicktime pro audio/video

    Hi all:
    Have a few questions related to Quicktime pro on mac related to sample rate of audio and video...any help understanding much appreciated...
    I am a music composer using logic pro and recently started working with filmakers who send me quicktime files of the video to score to...
    regarding sample rate of audio as played back in quicktime...I'm a bit confused....
    When playing back either an MP3,wave,Aiff at 44.1k or 48k
    seems that quicktime plays at the right speed and pitch of audio...Does Quicktime use it's own audio processor to convert sample rates in real time at playback?
    When I play a video track with audio recorded at 44.1k or even an MP3...and playback on my soundcard set at 48k...it does play at correct pitch...even though theory of audio tells me that the sample rate is very inportant especially when playing back...sample rate needs to be the same on both the soundcard audio clock and the software...
    Is this part of the magic of quicktime or am I missing something.
    Even a bit more confused when I got a dialog file from a filmaker attached to his quicktime file that he thougnt was in 44.1k...was actually 48k...so when taken out of quicktime and put in another enviornment for editing that became really important and avident that the samplerate audio rules outside of quicktime applied...
    Am I correct then in my understanding that when working only in the quicktime enviornment that the rules of audio sample rate do not apply?
    Thanks for thoughts...
    regards

  • Mismatching Audio Sample Rates Upon Capture

    I recently bought a cheap MiniDv JVC video camera, and I am having trouble capturing video and audio together in FCP 6.0. The capture seems fine, but when I finish an error pops up which reads: "The Audio Sample rate in your presets does not match the one on your source tape." As a result there is a delay between the video and audio tracks that creates huge amounts of extra work.
    My video camera captures sound in 12-bit format, and from what I understand that usually corresponds to a 32MHz sample rate. I can't find any 32 MHz presets in the Easy Set Ups or other menus, the system seems geared entirely towards 48 MHz sound. I've messed around with some different combinations of settings, but so far to no avail. Any help someone can give me will be much appreciated.

    You might want to duplicate the capture preset for DV/NTSC 48k and change the audio to 32k.
    Then try that.
    But I'd also change the JVC's audio settings to record in 48 while you're waiting. Should be able to do it... cheap or not.

  • Converting 24-44 sample rate to 24-48 - without losing video sync?

    Hi,
    I am doing a video shoot for a shot film and I need my final outputs at 24bit and 48khz for audio. Video frame rate is 24fps.
    I am planning to do live sound recorded externally for good quality when compared to camera internal records. But I have a macbook which is 9 yrs old and I can only use garageband with my focusrite saffire6 usb audio interface and I cannot use logic in this old macbook.
    So my questions are
    1. Can I record live sound using garageband as DAW and export files at 24-48 from GB?  I find it can do only 24-44....
    If not...
    2. Can I open the garageband project in my imac at my studio with (Logic Pro X) later at the end of each day of shoot , and export the recorded tracks of GB to 24-48 wav or aif from logic pro x ? ( I dont want to change the logic pro x project to 24-48 from 24-44 as the pitch of the recorded voice alters.
    If i export the tracks at 24-48 from a 24-44 project and then re-import it to another logic pro x project (24-48) what exactly changes ? Will i lose video sync / lip sync ? will there be any noticable quality loss ?
    Pl. do help me with my above questions. I will be converting small small audio clips of the shots related to the video.
    I dont want finish my movie then change the sample rate of the entire audio track.... 
    So will the video / lip sync be lost in any way ??  Is 24-44 to 24-48 convertion recommended ??  as I have only my old mac book only to use to record audio on the shoot location and i dont want to carry my imac to the location... I will be using my rode video mic pro and saffire 6 usb interface in my old macbook  i am not in a position to invest on another recorder.
    Looking forward for your replies and comments. Thank you.
    Kind Regards,

    Arguably, you should've asked what format they require the finished files to be in (ideally before you started). Probably best to check now what they can/will be able to work with. Then you will know what must be done with the work you have in progress.

  • Captures footage w too fast speed and strange audio (sample rate)

    I'm capturing NTSC video via small JVC camera. however the captured clip views much faster and audio is interrupting. I also get the message that my sample rate on source tape do not match capture presets. I've checked all the audio/video settings and can't figure out what's wrong. Also, on the camera screen it shows 12Bit - and I am not sure what it means.
    Footage is shot on Panasonic PD150, should be 29.97 frame per sec. Does anyone has any idea what I should be looking at?
    In the past I've captured the footage from the same tape and it captured normal. But it was a different workstation. Please help!

    A couple of things that you can try:
    Do you have a tape that is pretty much full and is designated on the cassette shell as a 60 minute tape? Fast Forward it to the end, you should not get more than 62 minutes showing on the timer. If it shows more, it was recorded in Long Play mode and has 12 Bit audio.
    When you change the Capture Preset to 32 kHz, it will still be 16 bit as you have already seen. It won't stop the sampling mismatch error message -just dismiss it. But your audio will probably still be usable. Give it a try on a short section.
    Your camera may have a problem, its not unheard of. Try a different camera if you have the possibility. Some cameras simply will not work well with tapes recorded on a different manufacturers camera.

  • 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.

  • How to adjust sample rate in "capture preset"?

    I'm having to recapture footage shot some years ago on my old Sony VX1000 using my Sony Z5U. I'm working on FCE 4.0 (OS 10.4), Easy Setup at DV-NTSC and capturing by "capture now." I'm getting a warning saying that my sample rate of capture does not match sample rate of source tape and advises me to ensure that my audio sample rate of the "capture preset" matches the sample rate of [my] source tape. Browser tells me that my sequence and my clips audio rate are both at 48 KHz, but my sequence audio format is 32 bit floating point, and my clips are at 16 bit integer. How do I access capture preset and synch capture rate?
    Thanks

    48KHz = 16bit
    32KHz = 12bit
    Can't be both at the same time.
    Most cameras come set to 12bit as the factory default. On the Canon miniDV cams like your ZR500, go into the menus for *Camera Setup > Audio Setup > Audio Mode* and you should be able to toggle between 16 bit and 12 bit audio.
    You want to film your videos using 16bit audio if at all possible. If you have done so, then you should use the DV-NTSC easy setup in Final Cut Express (not the DV-NTSC 32KHz easy setup).
    If you inadvertently filmed your video using 12-bit audio then you will need to use the DV-NTSC 32KHz easy setup in FCE.

  • Audio sample rate does not match (HDcam to dvcam)

    I'm trying to import clips and keep getting this 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."
    Footage was originally shot on HDCAM and transferred to DVCAM elsewhere. Using FCP 5, am importing via firewire from a Sony DSR-11 deck. Using DV NTSC 48kHz Anamorphic as capture settings (though I've tried everything that I thought might possibly work with no success). The audio does not seem to drift over the course of several 5 minute or so clips. Clip settings show audio at 48 kHz (don't know if that's from capture settings or from actual data). Seems to me all audio should be 48 kHz 16 bits, so can't figure out what's going on. I have to export an EDL for the project to be finished in HD. Read some similar threads that ended in December, seemingly without much resolution. My broader concern is why this is happening; my immediate concern is do I need to worry about this right now since the media files will need to be recaptured in HD anyway. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    A little more info. I'm having this problem on 4 tapes (from different cameras) that were transferred to DVCAM in a squished format to appear full screen on a 4x3 monitor. Video that was letterboxed and I can bring in with the standard DV NTSC capture settings does not have this problem. Still have the problem if I try to import the clips from the squished video with standard settings. Any thoughts?
