[Kid’s school project] Videos from different cameras… audio pitch problems
Greetings!
First post, very grateful to have found this forum… my question: I’m helping put together a video for my kids’ school (using Vegas Pro 12) which involves compiling a lot of little video clips filmed by different parents. Imagine a folder full of video clips, each filmed on different brands of cell phones, cameras, etc., all imported into one Vegas project.
Problem is – the audio on some clips doesn’t playback at the correct speed. I believe this is because some of the files are 44.1 kHz (clips from a Canon S95, for example), and others are 48kHz. If I set the project preferences to 44.1kHz, the 48kHz clips’ audio pitch plays back too high. If I set the project to 48kHz, the 44.1kHz clips sound too low in pitch.
How can I fix this? It’s driving me buggy :). Thanks!

Hey Larry,
Does going to the Audio Event FX for the files that are the wrong and use ‘Pitch Shift’ not yield results? It might be a bit cumbersome but once you have figured out the right setting it’s a matter of copy-paste of course!
Hope this helps.
Mark.

Thanks for the quick reply Mark… I will try it! If it works, it works.
(Although I can’t help feeling like that’s the “wrong” way to do it – like there must be some way to import 48kHz files into a 44.1 project that retains the proper audio pitch…)

I never noticed an issue. Under Project Properties under the Audio tab, you can set the resample quality to something better to see if that makes a difference. The other option is to resample the audio portion in another program like Sound Forge (Sony)or Audacity (free).
