  AIF/WAV/Audio needs render in a non-30fps timeline?

  Posted by Cory Caplan on November 20, 2007 at 4:27 pm

  I did not know that AIFs could have timebases, but apparently, as I need to render any AIF that is not in a 30fps timeline, they do.. Is there a way that I can’t find in ST pro to generate drop frame timecode with my AIF? Or to make FCP just ignore the “timecode” on the AIF… Or whatever workaround I need for this “feature”

  This has been driving me nuts for a while now, at least I know WHY it’s making me render now…

  And you are sure it’s not the sample rate?

  Are you sure it’s an aiff and not a .mov with the name changed?

  oh my god yes. I have a specific script in soundtrack pro because I can’t get the boneheads at the audio post houses to send me mixes in anything other than 44.1.

  Really easy to demonstrate. Drop a 48k aif generated in st pro onto a new 30 fps timeline. No red bar. New timeline, change to 29.97, drop the aif, red bar. No difference either way with audio settings in the sequence (16 vs 24 bit etc) is my install corrupt or something? Am i missing so
  ething obvious?

  And no, its not a QuickTime. My god man what do you take me for? (yet another reason file extensions are a good thing and apple needs to fully commit and start enforcing them)
