Audio TC frame rate
Has anyone found a way to change timecode frame rate of Wave files inside of FCPX or upon import?

Audio is drifting for a scene, I need to change the playback to 23.98. This seems like another basic function missing.

Depending on the length of the clip, one thing to try would be to select the audio clip and press cmd-R to open the speed track. You can now adjust the length of the audio track to match the video.
Oh, I forgot, in 10.1 you can now type in a custom length. Select the audio, pull down the speed menu and select “Custom”. You can now type in a specific length or speed.
I’ve gotten burned by audio drift too.
Good luck.

Wave Agent from Sound Devices allows you to reset the audio metadata of a wav file.

Yes I did try wave agent, it’s reading as 23.98 in FCPX but not syncing. The video clip is 24 fps, but the project is 23.98 so FCPX is suppose to be pulling it down correct? When I run the same files in Avid, same settings it’s syncing. I guess the difference it’s I’m setting audio to 23.97 upon import.

Is it a conformed film? Where’s the video coming from that it’s 24fps? Is the video frame rate for the video clip 24fps? The audio frame rate? The project settings? I’m a little confused about all the specifics you’re dealing with.

It’s an R3D that was filmed at 24 fps, the proxy was created in FCPX as a 24 fps pro res. The project setting is 23.98. The Audio FR is 23.98.
I will make a proxy in davinci at 23.98 for video and import, one sec. I just though FCPX was suppose to play files at the project setting regardless of framerate, but maybe not.

So I created a 23.98 project. I changed the audio frame rate from 30 ND to 23.98, it’s sample rate is 48000
The video was recorded at 24 fps, I changed it to 23.98 fps. (too match rest of footage, they filmed in 24 fps as a mistake)
Still syncing problems. Importing into Avid and changing audio to 23.98 ND at import solves the issue. I’d love to avoid cutting this Avid though as the thing is done in FCPX. Help is greatly appreciated.
Have not tried a 24p sequence, let me give it a whirl. I should mention changing to AIFF with know audio frame rate information doesn’t work either.

Copy and pasted into 24 p timeline.
Audio at 24 fps, and video at 23.98 syncs.
Audio at 24 fps and video at 24 fps does not.
Also I imported the audio at 23.98 ND so I don’t know why it’s showing up as 24 now… But it is. I know FCPX has problems handling wave files, or this could be one of it’s automation features messing up the timecode.
