audio sample rate error message
I’m capturing DV in FCP 5.1 and get the error message “The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured audio files does not match the sample rate on your source tape.” I see in the Browser bin that the audio sequence of the project says 32 bit floating point but my captured DV clips are 16 bit integer. I used an external mic to capture the audio and maybe that’s the source of my problem. Please tell me there’s a setting to adjust because I can’t re-shoot all the video. I would really appreciate some help here. I have ignored this error message on previous projects and think this may have unknowingly caused me endless headaches (and heartache & heartburn). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Nothing to do with 32-bit float. Most likely your camera was shooting in 12-bit, a sample rate of 32K, while the FCP preset was using a sample rate of 48K. You need to create a 32K preset for sequence and capture settings as there is not one in FCP.
All the best,

Do I create the 32K preset manually in audio/video settings -capture preset at 32 khz 16 bit 2 channel? Thanks for taking the time…

That’s right. Duplicate the standard DV preset for capture and sequence settings and change the audio ample rate to 32K.

OMG! I can’t thank you enough!
I, too, have been having this problem forever, but I just kept ignoring it because try as I might I could not figure out how to fix it. The result was frequently out-of-sync video/audio that required lots of time to slip it into place by hand.
As usual, Creative Cow saves the day! Thank you!

I’m having the same problem, but in Final Cut Pro HD 4.5.
I can’t figure out how to change the “32-bit floating point” to “16-bit integer.”
I’ve gone into the Audio/Video Settings and selected the Sequence Presets. The setup I have says Audio Settings: 16-bit 48.000 kHz Stereo, but when I create a new Sequence, it’s always 32-bit floating point.
I’ve quit FinalCut and restarted, but it always makes sequences that are 32-bit floating point.Do you have any more tips?
Much appreciated! -
thanks for any help: if i need to put footage recorded with two different sample rates onto one timeline, do i just change the capture presets while capturing, but the timeline can handle both?
i have had the synch drift nightmare because some of audio sample rates are different. i’m not sure what the camera was shooting at (it’s old footage) so i’m going to have to make guesses, which is weird too.
FCP seems to have set the clips at 16 bit integer, but they must have been shot at something else. anyway to find out ? thank you -
maybe this is a simpler question: i figured out that the tape was shot at 32 instead of 48. i made a 32 capture preset as per your recommendation. it worked. but now i have a clip in a bin with a rate of 32. how do i convert it to 48? wont’ it make a problem on the timeline with other clips shot at 48? thank you!
