Multiple frame rates
The film I’m editing has one scene that was shot in 24fps, along with audio recorded in 24 fps. The rest is in 23.98 fps… I have never encountered this. I can’t change the audio to 23.98 seconds as it’s too distorted as a result. Any suggestions as how to deal with this.

Try Wave Agent, a free download from Sound Devices. It allows you reset the t/c of an audio file.

Thanks John, I’ll give it a whirl, I just changed the rate in compressor last time. I did lower the actual compression on the on the clip and that took some distortion away, so hoping this kills it completely.
Little confused why they would shoot with different frame rates though, maybe different DP or something.

One second of audio is one second of audio. Audio has no frame rate, only sample rates.
Your 23.98 audio should match the 24.0 picture. If you need to make your 24.0 sources 23.98, then slowing down the video is easy, but the audio is more difficult if you need to match the audio to the now slowed down video.
isotope makes a good one. https://www.izotope.com/products/audio/rx/
There are others.
Compressor will not do a good job with the audio.
Are you sure your sources are 24.0?

Yes technically I guess you’re correct. Entering a frame rate in the mixer is for length duration. Correct me if I’m wrong. I have however fixed the issue thanks guys, I corrected the pitch which was pretty subtle. But I’m curious how is that program able to perceive what frame rate the audio signal was recorded in.

It has a tc rate of 23.98 (or 24), not a frame rate.
It is metadata.

Wave Agent, free from Sound Devices, allows you to change that metadata in the audio file. I’ve used it once or twice to change audio t/c that was entered incorrectly during a shoot.

That’s useful information, I didn’t know the audio actually kept TC in it’s metadata. Interesting. Thanks everyone. And Oliver the show with a mixed frame rate is something my friends did. It’s pretty cool, some scenes in 24fps, some scenes are in 48 fps. I’ll send it if you’d like.

No need to send anything, but thanks. How would the projector handle that? I presume there’s one common base rate, for example everything at 48 (I’m assuming real time and not slomo). Then the 24fps scenes would be played with a 2:2 cadence.
