Activity Forums Compression Techniques audio sample rate problem

  • audio sample rate problem

    Posted by Katie Gates on August 7, 2007 at 7:24 pm

    I just loaded Flip4Mac so I can export wmv from FCP. When I attempt to do so, I get an error message that there is inconsistent audio sample rate. The original was a single digitized clip, the timeline rate matches the clip rate, and there are no effects at all on the audio. I’ve tried exporting with QT conversion (as per instructions) and I’ve also tried opening the file it Quick Time, and exporting it from there with the same results. I’ve also thrown away the Flip4Mac preference to no avail. Any ideas out there?

    Sorry, I didn’t read far enough in the forum. I DO have QT7.2, and will try the recommended proceedures. kt of md

    Given you’re seeing the error outside of Flip4Mac, I’d guess it’s a QuickTime 7.2 bug or corruption in your source file.

    Ben, you may be right, although I did succeed in getting the wmv file out of FCP by changing the audio sample rate on my sequence to 44.1, as had been suggested in an earlier thread. I haven’t tried the to use QT since I stopped while I was ahead. Thanks! katie

    Ben, I just tried doing it in QT, and it worked fine, too. Since QT uses the Flip4Mac plug in, I do think it has to do with the latter’s current inability to play nicely with QT 7.2

    QT 7.2 update resulted in a Flip4Mac export bug on audio. The workaround is change your FCP sequence audio settings to 44.1khz before export. Flip4Mac is working on the fix.
