Re: Why does FCP set 30fps TC Rate for certain audio clips that lack TC stream?

ah. I'm afraid I don't know what it was -- I think the recording device is the Tascam compact flash recorder. In any case, it recorded .wav not broadcast wave files on a compact flash card, which the recordist delivered to me with as a folder each for the shoot days. There are xml files for markers.xml and settings.xml but in this specific case these things don't matter because there was no smartslate or tc generated by camera.

So these are just wave files -- 48k 16bit -- lacking any timebase. For some reason FCP has decided to give them a timebase instead of following the protocol of the project's 25fps timebase. 90% of the files come through as TC Rate 25fps just fine. Those that are marked as 30fps are then out of sync with the audio tracks with picture because they are being falsely pulled down for 25fps.

I'm basically hassling with this now so my sound team doesn't have to hassle with it when I deliver these frustrating out of sync dialogue tracks cut into seq. Trying to get the world truly back to 25fps timebase family.

Thanks for your curiosity! Does this help suggest a solution?
