  • FCP converting audio sample without reason

    Hi guys,

    I’d reading lot of threads about issues with sample rate convert, most of times involving 44.1 and 48.0 KHz. But my problem doesn’t refer to a difference of samples rates.

    At my work I’m using FCP 6.0.5 and always have dealing with 44.1KHz. So is the standard project sequence set to 44.1, never had problem with this in almost two years.

    But now FCP began to write the audio every time that I render a transition, then appears the blue line on the audio track indicating the audio was converted. But wasnt green before. There was nothing, like is normally.

    The other editor says to me that was canceling the conversion. This resulted some exports with audio sync problem, but someones exported ok.

    This issue is not blocking my work, but I need edit classes beyond 2 and 3 hours, cut 30 min parts, and now have to wait 2 min every time I render a transition. Just because FCP wants to convert 44.1 audio in a 44.1 sequence to create another 44.1 audio. Doesnt make sense to me.

    I tried create a new project, but the same thing still happening. Must have another settings that Im not considering?

    Thanks for atention.

    My sequence setting are:

    854×480
    square
    Field Dominance: none
    29.97
    Compressor: apple intermediate codec
    Audio Rate: 44.1 kHz
    depth: 16-bit
    Config: Channel grouped

    My videos are:

    854×480
    square
    29.97
    apple intermediate codec
    44.1 kHz
    16-bit integer

    Hi Dave,
    indeed, there was a enormous amount of render files that had been accumulated for a long time.

    But the rate conversion still happening. Rarely one recording I can edit without that conversion. But others, even recorded in the same studio, ask for conversion.

    And just beside this Mac there is another with FCP 6 (but not .0.5) that still editing fine…

    hey Dave.
    Problem solved!
    I just used the Preference Manager from DigitalRebellion and started FCP from zero.
    No more sample converting.

    thanks.
