NEWBY query – Converting 41.1kHz to 48kHz
Hi – I’m trying to use some music from CDs for temp tracks for cuts in FCP4.5 HD. However, when it comes across, it’s all at 41.1kHz. I don’t have Toast on this machine. I know there’s a way of converting it with what i have but I can’t remember how. Thanks so much. Arabella

If you have Quicktime Pro you can export the audio from there as 48khz.
You can also simply export the file from Final Cut Pro as an Audio Aiff file and set it to 48khz. Now simply import the 48khz file back in.

Another “available on every Mac” method is to use iTunes to resample CD and mp3 audio.
QT PRO works fine… but iTunes is also a simple ready process after the initial set-up presets:
iTunes > Preferences > Importing > AIFF> Custom > 48.000 kHz, 16 bit, Stereo >OKOnce these are set, you won’t have to set them again.
Put a CD in the Mac (or use a imported audio file that’s already on the HD), open it up in iTunes, click once on the track you need, and choose:
Advanced > Convert Selection to AIFF.Works VERY fast and stores new 48 kHz file in the iTunes library. You can just “drag and drop” this new file (.aif) onto your open FCP Browser.
