  • Converting 1080i60 to ProRes422 (HQ) for PAL Delivery – Audio Issues

    Posted by Michael Schmidt on February 26, 2015 at 4:31 pm

    Hi all,

    We need to deliver 26 episodes of a US show to the Middle East. I’ve been able to get the video converted well using Compressor or AME but I’m having a terrible time getting the audio specs correct. They are requesting two stereo tracks (Full Mix/M&E) embedded at 24bit/48k Big Endian. I can get FCP7 to export with the audio tracks embedded but it they always end up at 16 bit/48 little endian. Using Compressor OR AME just seems to always merge the two stereo tracks together. Any advice on how I can accomplish?

    Go into the Sequence Settings, and in the lower right of the GENERAL Tab, change the depth from 16 bit to 24bit, and the Config to Discreet.
