Had the editor imported the file and checked, he/she would have seen that it aligns perfectly with the project. Which would explain the confusion and rejection.
#Audiofinder vs myriad software
My theory: Probably the editor just looked at the length of the file outside of his software and saw a different time length than what he sees as timecode in his project. So I’m wondering if the sound then is really out of sync? But what is described here is that the editor says the sound was out of sync. Where do the extra 5+s come from and go respectively?įrom all I’ve read here it seems to be only a display issue, where different framerates show a slightly different time in the timecode display. However, when I import this stereo export into my Nuendo session, it syncs up exactly with the length of the film. And indeed the length of the stereo wav export is 01:28:49.741 (741 being ms). He complained that the wav file is a bit longer than the film and therefore out of sync.
#Audiofinder vs myriad mp4
The mp4 of the film is exactly 01:28:44:10 long at a frame rate of 23.98fps … I have exported a stereo downmix of this film and send it to the editor. Something feels wrong here in the length calculation!Ĭan someone explain the following. And both times the length is shown identical in all the softwares mentioned above.

Nuendo shows a different length, but after export both files are, of course, the same length. I exported this WAV file in 24/48 both in 30fps and 29.97fps. Do you play it at 44.1 or 48? So I don’t know where those strange differences in seconds come from when switching fps in Nuendo’s Project Setup window. It’s the speed with which you play those samples that defines the length. So a file has a defined length that’s NOT tied to the fps. The question is, what’s the real length! Audio has no fps, it only has samples per second. My empty Nuendo project (what’s think this is a Nuendo calculation issue. Or Myriad, great analysis and batch process tool ( ) that also has extensive file properties display.Īll say the same though for the file you uploaded. I also use AudioFinder ( ) that has a file info tab and is a simple and cost efficient SoundMiner replacement. Very handy when working with video files as it shows the used compression format, fps, etc to figure out what’s going on. Downside is that you cannot change the header info, just read it. It’s a $1 tool and shows you all the media info there is I think.
#Audiofinder vs myriad mac
And incidentally, now it has the length that all other programs say the file on the Mac I use MediaInfo ( ) from the Mac App Store. The only place where I would not be surprised to see a difference is at the very last two digits, because that is where the frames are counted. Whether I divide a second into 23.98 frames or 24 frames, it is still a second. How is that possible? It is the same file now having a different length, more than 5s longer, because I changed the sample rate of the Nuendo project. I again import the wav file and put it in at 00:00:00:00. I close Nuendo and create a new project next. Now I am making a new project in Nuendo with 23.98fps and import the file at 00:00:00:00 the file now ends at 1:28:44:10. The result is still a wav file with 48kHz. Maybe I have even pulled the session up or down. Maybe it does not have the same length as the editor’s session, or maybe I have set the frame rate wrong. Whatever the film file in that project does, should not matter. The result is a simple wav file with 48kHz sample rate. I have exported this wav file from a Nuendo project. “Basically what I’m saying is 'how do you know it’s interpreting it differently from the project frame rate?”
