Final Cut Pro suddenly distorts audio!??

[Simon Dybeck]

is there some easy way to convert the audio of all these clips to 48khz?

[Simon Dybeck] “is there some easy way to convert the audio of all these clips to 48khz?”

Sure. Put the clips in a timeline, right click the audio portion of the clip and choose “Open in Editor”.

Choose Process > Resample then choose 48000 from the drop down.

Now you need to save it as a Quicktime Movie (Choose save, and then choose Quicktime Movie form the drop down). I would suggest saving to the exact same spot the footage lives right now, essentially writing over the current 50050Hz file. Once you go back to FCP, the file should refresh and you audio will be 48k. This won’t account for the pitch shift, though.

I use this technique to resample aifs all the time from 44.1 to 48k.

Hi
I tried your option and it wont work. Soundtrack Pro says it cant save as a quicktime movie. I also have a lot of clips like this so i’m looking for a quicker way of doing this?

[Simon Dybeck]

I tried changing playback settings to using high quality instead of low(faster) and it worked 😀
No need to batch export 😀

Hey Simon.

Sorry, I was away. What do you mean Soundtrack pro wouldn’t let you save as QT movie?

[Simon Dybeck]

It says it wont work but look at my post over – i solved it 😀

[Jeremy Garchow]

So soundtrack pro gives you a dialogue that’s says ” it won’t work”?

Just curious for my own needs as I am planning on making a tutorial out of this. It works great for me, but I would appreciate the help of you can tell me how it failed.

If you don’t have time, I understand. Also, I’d still want to chnage that to 48k as FCP can sometimes screw up audio render files pretty badly. It’s an easy fix, but it might save someone a post on the future.

Hi this is the message I get when trying to save it.

“Can’t Save QuickTime File
This movie file does not support editing in place. Choose Save As or Save a Copy As to save this file.”

[Jeremy Garchow]

Right. So you choose Save As > Quicktime Movie and the write over your current movie.

Thanks for responding.
