  Music Video Audio Rate Problems

  Posted by Robbie Gibbon on November 29, 2008 at 1:19 pm

  Hi guys,

  I am currently editing a music video that was shot on the RED and converted into Pro Res.
  I have been working using a guide track recorded live with the format:

  Audio rate – 48.0 KHz
  Audio Format – 32-bit Integer

  I have now received the full quality track from the band.
  The problem is that the format of this track is:

  Audio Rate – 44.1KHz
  Audio Format – 16-bit Integer

  I have tried converting the track’s Rate to 48.0KHz through Compressor but just can’t get the tracks to sync.

  If anyone has any advice or if you can see that I am making an obvious mistake please let me know.

  –Thanks a lot.
  –Robbie

  You can actually use iTunes to convert your 44.1 audio to 48 if you want. Or just bring your 44.1 audio directly into FCP and it will play back without rendering if you set your audio playback quality to “lower” in the User Preferences tab. When you’re ready to output FCP will upconvert the audio to 48k when you render everything. To render video and audio all at once just select everything in the timeline (Cmd-A) and then hit Cmd-R to render all video and audio.
