Newbie Audio Format Question
Hi, I’m a professional audio engineer who’s just starting to dabble in video and motion graphics. I know there is a lot of people who don’t like FCPX because of it’s current limitations but i think it will be perfect for me as i’m sure the software will get better in time and since i’m a beginner, i can grow along with the software.
One question i do have is to do with audio sample rates. I have pretty big sound effects library that is in 320bit 44.1K mp3 format. I know most video programs work in 48k, so would it be worth my time to convert the whole library to a 48k sample rate? Or will FCPX accept the 44.1K files and dither appropriately to 48K in the final product?
Thanks, Mark

The speed of modern systems should provide acceptable real time performance without conversion. When you go to output, it’ll upsample as needed.
