Audio: 44,000khz or 48?

[John Rofrano]

[charles martin] “I’ve always thought 48,000khz is required when editing/rendering video for NLE systems… is this the case?”

Yes. The first thing I do after installing a new Vegas system is to change the default audio to 48K. I don’t know why Sony would select 44.1K as the default when it doesn’t match what cameras shoot. Maybe it’s for compatibility with really old sound cards? 48K is what you want.

One nice thing about vegas is the it will let you “mix” different sample and bit rates of audio, just like you can mix different video formats….very good thinking on their part!

With video 48k is the best choice since that’s what camera audio is as well as DVD audio.
