johnpaul215 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 So I did a film (shot on film) last year and recorded at 30 NDF 48/24 on a Fostex PD-6. The editor just send me an email because he was having a syncing issue, and basically he just realized: "You recorded at 30 frames non-drop, but all the footage from [post house] is at 23.98 fps."His digital files of the film just have the first two tracks, and he wanted to get at the others. What's the best way to batch convert a lot of wave files? I know Wave Agent lets you change the frame rate, but is that just the meta tag or the actual frame rate? I recorded the files on a PD-6 so nothing actually shows up under "frame rate" in Wave Agent, which is what makes me think it's a meta tag. thanks,johnpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondelev Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Frame rate does not affect playback speed of the audio. It only affects the numbering system on the picture frames, so the start point will be different if your frame rate is incorrect. Any time code calculator will do a conversion for you, but you will have to manually calculate every file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Download waveagent from Sound devices. Does everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 " all the footage from [post house] is at 23.98 fps " you did say film... did they shoot film at 23.976 (aka 23.98) ?? of course not, it was pulled down (slowed down) by .1%. sound's 30fps TC needs to be pulled down ((slowed down) by .1% to match! that would be, er, ah, hmmm... 29.97 fps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpaul215 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Yes, I wasn't sure if Wave Agent was the right tool to "slow everything down"... and it sounds like it fixed EVERYTHING. Rainbows and puppies all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 iT DOES NOT slow everything down. only works with time code meta data Yes, I wasn't sure if Wave Agent was the right tool to "slow everything down"... and it sounds like it fixed EVERYTHING.
