23.976 fps audio incorrectly imports as 24.000fps

[Michael Gissing]

Are the files wav or broadcast wav with embedded timecode? If wav, then they have no frame rate. If bwf then you need to make sure the timecode is 23.976 or 24 as most professional recorders like Sound Devices can record either.

Sound Devices have free software -Wave Agent – that lets you change embedded timecode so if the bwfs are not recorded at the correct rate then that can be fixed. It will also accurately tell you what the recorded rate is.

Secondly does your project rate match the bwf frame rate? And does the camera original timecode rate match the project and audio rate? If not then you will also have sync issues. So once you determine the frame rates are all matching and reporting accurately then there might also be an issue with the way you are trying to sync, but I suggest sorting those frame rate issues first.

Thx for your thoughts Michael.

These are broadcast wave files with a .wav extension.

Wave agent correctly sees the frame rate as 23.976 with correct embedded time code. Seems like a resolve thing …

Re: identifies the wav files as 23.976 before importing but as soon as I add them to a bin the frame rate is seen as 24.000

Is Resolve a software like the old FCP that just decided to call all 23.976 files 24.000? They just liked to round off. This could cause a sync issue in a sound mix.
I wonder,
