    hello,
    i’ve logged some new footage, and when trying to capture the message comes up ‘the audio sample rate in some of your captured material doesn’t match the sample rate in your presets’.

    how can i check which audio capture rate is on my tape? I had noticed whilst logging that it seemed to be playing slower on the preview than on the camera flip-out screen. The image is flickery, but once captured it isn’t.

    any ideas? thanks

    [Poppy Dixon] “how can i check which audio capture rate is on my tape?”

    Probably by playing the tape back in whatever recorded it. Or your capture deck. Most cameras, for example, will display the recording format and audio sample rate on-screen. Such as “DV NTSC 48Khz”.

    You can check what the sample rate of your captured audio is in the browser, looking in the sample rate column for that particular video/audio clip.

    thanks don,
    so it looks like all the footage is 48KHz so that can’t be the problem. And to be honest, watching back the captured footage there isn’t a noticeable delay. The only really annoying thing now is that in previewing hte material it’s really distorted (as if dragging), not sure what this could be about?

    I would trash FCP’s preference files and then try recapturing a small portion of a tape as a test. When FCP starts acting up, (and I think it’s a FCP thing and not your camera or tapes) trashing the preference files is the first thing I try for problem solving. If you’re not sure how to trash the files you can use this freebie program to do it for you:

    There are a lot of FCP editors that use FCP Rescue. Give it a shot.
