32khz to 48 and PAL to NTSC
hello ;
1- I was wondering if its possible to change the sample rate of a captured clip, Most of my media is 48 khz and I have one tape that was shot on a different camera and so the sample rate of the audio s 32, and so I changed the setting to NTSC 32khz before digitizing coz i got the message that the audio sample rate is different and that might coz the media to get out of sync. Now I know that in Avid you can change that very easily but how can I do that in FCP?
2- most of my media is NTSC but I have few tapes that are PAL, what is the best way to convert the media from PAL to NTSC? is it possible with the compressor software that comes with FCP suite? what is the cheapest an yet best way to do that?many thanks

1- You dont change the sample rate during digitizing, you do it in the timeline. Often, you dont need to do anything…FCP can change it on the fly until you run out of processing power, then you render.

Mixing Sample Rates and Using Real-Time Sample Rate Conversion :

Hi rap,
working a lot on international projects I can greatly support John’s suggestion of using Graeme Nattress’ “G converter”, it does a pretty good job in converting PAL to NTSC. Other than that you have to find a company that does the job for you as a hardware conversion.
Best,
Volker

thanks for the reply
I understand that its better to do it with the nattress software but i was wondering, how do you do it with the compressor? and how is the outcome? is it good quality?
Thanks

The quality looked fine, the one time I did it, but the render time was unacceptable for me (many times slower than Nattress)
For directions on how to use it, look in the Compressor Help manual beginning on page 195.
