Shrinking audio track drives me crazy

[Jerry Alto]

Andrei- My guess is you have a frame rate mismatch between your audio clip and your sequence.

I doubt, Jerry.
It was mixed as 25. And besides audio file does not have frame rate, does it?

Dave,
Of course, I checked and double checked it. 48, 16. I crashed my preferences, for the sake of the test. Nothing.
The length of the audio file is exactly the same when in the bin!
The moment I move it to sequence it shrinks.
In conjunction: the other thing that drives me nuts, is that I have this project on my laptop, but instead of edited sequence just one movie file. And it syncs perfectly with the mix.
Exactly the same setting on both laptop and MacPro.
I am going to bang my head against something very soon.
🙂
Much obliged.

Dave,
you are really suspiciously close, but again I am in PAL.

I think I solve it. I dropped my file in QuickTime and than exported it with the same setting 48, 16 stereo, aif.
And it works!!!
How and why, this is clearly beyond me, but for the moment I am happy.
Thanks a lot.

FWIW, here’s a thread that might apply. See Jeremy’s post at the bottom.
