1080p/23.976 sound recorded at 30fps 48.048 – workflow suggestions

[Zoe Westley]

Hi Michael, Job, Bouke

I have another question regarding this workflow, if you wouldn’t mind shedding some more light 🙂

I have done some tests with the Post Sound Team, and we now appear to be in sync. The EDL’s I generate for them with Record TC as TC1 seem to work.

What they are doing is converting to 48 kHz mono files. Then they conformed my EDL in their audio session using 30 fps source code and 24 fps destination code, and it worked!

The QT’s I give them to work with are at 23.976, however they believe that the audio on the QT’s is 48.048 and not 48, and they believe I should be supplying them with QTs that have 48 sound on them. However I can’t see a way of altering these settings at all. Is what they are asking correct?

Eventually the audio supplied by the sound house will need to be 24fps on the MO disc to sync with the picture negative and also for use on the DCP.

Many thanks for all your help so far

Once audio is imported into Avid, it can only be 44.1 or 48Khz. In the 48.048 workflow, it gets restamped as 48kHz and end up being a sample for sample playback, thus slowing it down .1%. Anything in Avid, is now 48kHz, including exports which have no control over sample rate when it comes to +/- .1% workflows.

Great thanks Michael, that’s what my understanding was, I’ll re-iterate to the Sound Dept
