Audio sample rate of tape does not match at DVinfo.net

Katie Maguire · July 17th, 2009, 11:39 AM

What should I do in Final Cut if I get a pop up that says:
" the audio sample rate of my captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape...Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture presets matches the sample rate of your tape."

How do I change this?
Or find the sample rate of my tape?

Thanks,
Katie

Final cut pro title bar > Audio/Video settings > capture presets tab. Pick another preset that matches your settings, or select a similar one, select duplicate, then edit, then set it up for the audio bitrate you want to use. Normally this will be 48khz and 16 bits. If your audio is at another rate and that is the rate you want to use in the edit, select that rate from the audio choice box.

Some dv cameras, like old Betacams, do 12 bit and 32 khz.

The worst that can happen is you get your, say, 48 khz sequence and import audio at another bitrate and you have to render the audio....no biggie ... / hth // Battle Vaughan/miamiherald.com video team

PS You can find the sample rate of your tape from the camera setup menu, which will tell you how it was shot. Or, if you have logged the tape, open the clip in Quicktime , open movie inspector, and it will tell you what your bitrate is. If you have the clip on your Final Cut timeline, control-click on it, select item properties > format, and it will tell you.
