''unsupprted audio rate''

Hello People,
I'm making A movie with the software Adobe Premiere Pro, and I have a little problem, It won't open Converted VOB Files in premiere, has anyone got any tips to solve this?
Btw: I Converted from a DVD because I'm making a video for a fashion show, someone else burned his moviematirial onto a DVD.. Not so smart as I say..
Kindly regards,
Dyon Verkruijssen

(Ps. sorry for my Bad English!)

You're welcome. Happy editing.
Cheers

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 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.
Hunt
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)

Audio rates apparently don't match FCE and recording Is there a cure?

I am using a Panasonic DVX100A to transfer a miniDV tape shot on an inexpensive consumer DV Camera into FCE-HD, but at the conclusion of the capture I get an error message that I need to set the audio rate to match that of the camera. I'm new to editing so I'm not sure what that means or how I find out what the audio rate of the camera is so I can set FCE-HD to that rate---or does it mean the audio rate at which the tape was originally recorded on the consumer DV Camera? If so, is there a way to know that audio rate without having access to that camera?
thanks.

I'm going to venture a guess that the video was recorded as 12-bit audio (usually the default setting in miniDV camcorders) ... and you're probably using the DV-NTSC easy setup in FCE. The DV-NTSC easy setup expects 16-bit audio. Try changing your easy setup to DV NTSC 32KHz and then recapture the material into a new sequence.
Also check your DVX settings - is it set for 12-bit or 16-bit audio?
And contact whoever shot the video and ask them to check the settings in their camcorder & let you know what audio setting it was or is set for. (12-bit = 32KHz, 16-bit = 48KHz). If it's 12-bit, they should change it to 16-bit for future shoots.

Audio rate doesn't match

So I figured out I could capture video with my old Hi8 camera through a firewire. I use easy set-up with DV-NTSC. The camera gets controled by the capture window, looks for time code, everything is smooth. However, it tells me that my audio might be out of synch because the audio rate doesn't match. What is the standard audio for a Hi8 tape?

It's probably simplest to check your FCE Easy Setup, which will be either 48kHz (not necessarily specified) or 32kHz. Switch to whichever one is not your current selection and recapture.

48 Khz Audio Rate with 12-bit Format

I'm capturing some old DV footage shot in 12bit format. However, when I capture, it is showing as 48KHz audio rate. As I understand it, 12-bit format should equal 32KHz rate.
I've got a Canon HV30
I've tried NTSC Firewire 32KHz in easy setup and also NTSC Firewire Basic 32KHz setup.
But the captured video Item Properties is still showing 48KHz.
Is this a problem?
Thanks,
Billy

Ian,
I think I figured out what happened. If you could verify this, it would be helpful.
As I went back through the video with the audio out of sync, I realized that it hit a spot in the tape where the timecode got out of sorts because I had a block that had no recorded info on it. In other words, I did not do as I should have and pre-recorded the tape to get the consistent timecode. The out of sync problem started happening immediately after that point where the "gap" occurred.
For some reason, iMovie seems to handle this problem better than FCE by essentially breaking the clip off at that point and starting a new clip when the new timecode comes into effect. FCE seems to "choke" on it a bit and then the audio goes out of sync thereafter.
That is my best guess as to what happened from what I'm seeing. Could what I describe cause the out of sync problem?
Thanks,
Billy

Audio rate problem? or tired MAC?

Hi everyone, I do hope that someone can help me..
in this (for me) important moment..!
I have an Final Cut project, which includes different versions (language,
length, with logos etc )of one movie.
Now I am finishing the English subtitled version and I
haven't yet backed up the finished movie in a tape.
But my Mac, which has continued doing editing for 1 year and half,
recently acts strange; the immage and the sound becomes unsyclonized.
Yes, it is not a new problem, but 4 times out of 5 the cassettes
don't come out perfectly, which seems to me too much.
The MAc also show the problem with Final Cut HD: the immage doesn't show
up in a conectted video camera, so I can't make a cassette at all.
The problem 1:
I have stupidly built the project
inside the computer not in external HD, so I can't reinstall
the operation.
(The free space now is 90Gb. Doesn't seem too small..)
The problem2:
Only now I have found that one of the long video clips that
I used for all the versions have a strange audio rate: 48.001 Khz.(Pricisly
it also shows 48000.8Hz in browser.)
When I see this clip in the Viewer it makes PI PI PI sounds,
but since I had finished editings before in Imovie, I didn't notice them.
Moreover, until now other versions from which I made cassettes didn't show
any strange problems even though the audio rate was also slightly different.
My question is:
1
In general, when you find a clip like this (with strange audio rate )
is it necessary to replace it with a new video clip? What is the cause??
Could it cause problems when I will make a DVD with
DVD studio Pro, exporting Quicktime mov. file into it?
2
To refresh my computer.. (it seems an only solution.. isn't it?)
will it be risky if I bring my Mac to a technical support to have it
reinstall, saving all date of Final cut project? Could it damage the project??
Could it be helpful makink a quicktime DV pal file to save the timeline,
so that I can reimport it in Final in the case of damaged project?
If someone has a good solution..I will appreciate it very much.
Thank you!
Minobu

Hi Al, thank you for the post,
RAM is "1.5GB DDR2 SDRam".
The footage was originally captured into imovie; secondly
it was exported into a cassette. (The project was purely Imovie one
before I started subtitling it with various color and sound correction.)
And then I imported it into a Final. But the process was all complicated;
I had mixed several cassettes to compose one timeline..because
some cassettes from Imovie timeline had dropframes.
I wouldn't be able to refix it anymore..
Now I am trying to export the timeline into Quicktime DV-PAL file,
at least to be able to try making a DVD in DVD studio pro,
and to save the finished movie in someway.
(Isn't Quicktime DV-PAL file re-importable into Finalcut project? Or is ther
any other format that can be helpful for me? )
Grazie,
MInobu

Audio Rate

I recently filmed the wedding of my nephew for the purpose of creating a record of the event for them and their overseas relatives.
I used 2 tapes (Fuji 80min) and filmed with my Panasonic DV camera. I've recorded plenty of footage on this camera that I have used to produce several different movies.
I have just captured the footage off both tapes. The first tape which was full (ie 80 minutes) and the second tape that only had 7 minutes both captured with any errors etc.
When I try to put them on the time line, I'm getting a problem I've not experienced before. The second tape works perfectly. The first tape (all clips) when put onto the time line produce the red line across the top meaning rendering is required. When I look at the properties of the problem clips I find that the audio rate is 48000.2Hz . The same check done on the clips from tape 2 reveal audio rate of 48.0kHz.
HELP!

Maybe your User Preferences>General>Audio Playback Quality is set to High. Change it to Low for normal editing. The Red Audio Render line may disappear if this is the case.
Re 48000.2 Hz: The camera must be set to record audio at 16 bit qaulity which matches 48kHz FCE Easy Setup Sequences.
Did you have a 48 kHz Easy Setup assigined before capturing?
Some cameras do not record at precisely 48 kHz, hence the small variance. FCE handles this automatically unless you are using Version 1.

Different Audio rates & audio formats = drop frames?

I´m getting a lot of drop frame errors during playback in the time line.
Now that I want to print my movie to tape the drop frames of course disturb this process, making it impossible.
I noticed that I have material with different audio rates and audio formats. Could this cause it and how do I make a conversion so that all of my audio is the same rate & format.
Audio captured with my camcorder is: 48KHz, 16-bit integer.
CD music in time line is: 44.1KHz, 16-bit integer.
Timeline is: 48KHz, 32-bit floating point
(The things that FCP suggests to do when drop frames occur; turning RT to Safe, buying a faster computer etc. havn´t helped, so the problem must be somewhere else)

You could try exporting your sequence as a self contained QuickTime Movie. This would give you one file with one set of rates and formats. Be sure to set up the export for 48Khz 16 bit. Once that's done, import the file back to your project, place it in a new sequence and try printing that to tape.
If you're just concerned with getting smooth playback in the timeline you could also try doing an audio mixdown. This is a good thing to do before printing to tape as well.

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.

FCEHD 3.0 - Audio Rate issues w/DV footage?

I've got FCEHD 3.0 on the 'puter for work projects. As a side project, my boss and I are working on a documentary using DV footage. Any captures I pull that are under a minute long have the proper audio rate (48.0 KHz) ... any captures I've pulled longer than 60 seconds have slightly distorted audio rates (48009.6 Hz/48009.7 Hz/48009.3 Hz) ... Anyone have an inkling as to why this might happen, or how I'd go about amending it?
(BTW - if it helps to know, we're using our camera as the 'deck' for this, as we're a pretty fierce but low-budget non-profit org; camera is a Sony HVR-Z1U HDV cam)

"any captures I've pulled longer than 60 seconds have slightly distorted audio rates (48009.6 Hz/48009.7 Hz/48009.3 Hz) ... Anyone have an inkling as to why this might happen, or how I'd go about amending it?"
It's most likely the camera is not recording at precisely 48 kHz.
FCE is only reporting what is receives.
Version 1 had manual settings to help the newer versions are all auto.
When you say Distorted, do you refer to the sampling rate only or the actual quality of the sound you hear or some type of sync loss?

Audio rate 47.928 problem

Hello,
I'm importing some VHS tapes via the DAC-200 but the audio is not in sync. Especially when I capture large clips. I found the cause: the audio rate is not exactly 48.000 but 47.928 or 47766.8 or else so I tried to export the audio as a 48.000 aiff-file. But that doesn't help.
Even in quicktime the video is off-sync.
Can anybody help me with this?

Have you had good luck with the DAC-200 and VHS previously or is this the first time you've tried it? Do you have access to a timebase corrector that you could process the VHS video with prior to the analog to DV converter?
DV audio uses DV video as its sync source. If the timebase of the VHS is bad enough that the DAC-200 cannot make a stable video source from it, it won't be able to lock the audio at 48K.
Things you could try:
Adjust tracking on your VHS player (this may improve the clarity of the sync pulse enough to make it work).
Dub the VHS to mini-DV and capture that instead.
Put a TBC between the VHS and the DAC-200.
Have someone with an analog capture card capture for you and put clips on portable Firewire drive.

Strange Audio Rate During PAL Capture

I am capturing and doing work with a number of PAL tapes. While capturing footage, I am continually getting an audio sample rate of 47999.6 Hz rather than 48.0 KHz on captures that are long, like an entire tape. I can, if I capture shorter clips, get 48KHz with no problem from the same tapes. When I try to edit with the 47999.6 Hz files, the audio gets progressively more and more out of sync throughout the clip. If I try to output the audio as an .AIF and use Peak Pro to convert it to a 48Khz file and bring it back into FCP, the audio file is shorter than it was and starts in syns but again progressively out of sync. Can anyone explain what is causing the video to come in at 47999.6 and what I might be able to do to prevent it? And if not, any ideas of how I can workaround the issue to make it work?
Thanks!

So what your saying is that even though FCP is set to capture at a rate of DV NTSC 48k, it would still capture what ever signal format that is being sent to it as that original format? IE, if we feed a an audio signal as 96k, FCP would capture the signal as 96k even though our capture presets instruct FCP to capture as 48k? Same would apply to a video signal then? If we fed a DVC50 signal to FCP, it would capture as that despite presets set to NTSC DV?? FCP will not convert formats during capture from a non controlled device?

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,

Audio rate is 32 khz on one track and 48 khz on the other, how can I edit?

I am working on a video project that used 2 video source, one of them with 32 khz audio and the other with 48 khz audio. I line up one area of the video footage but anything before or after slowly starts to shift.
Is there any way of converting the captured files from 32 to 48 or 48 down to 32?
Many thanks.

Open your file in QuickTime Player. Go to, File > Export > Sound to AIFF. Make sure it is set for 48 kHz, and save the result somewhere.
When the export has completed, press command and J for the properties window. Click on "Audio Track" then on Delete at top left.
Open your newly created audio 48 kHz file. Press command and A keys (select all). Press command and C keys (copy). Make your video file (the one you just deleted audio from) the front window.
Make sure it is parked at frame 1. Press Option, command and V keys to paste your 48 kHz audio back in.
Save As... don't use Save, or you will overwrite the old 32 kHz version. You can delete that later when you know that all is well.
