I just did a test with separate video/audio clips. Imported them, video source is 24fps.
DCP-o-matic reports source and DCP will have same frame rate. No mention of audio. I then
adjust the DCP frame rate to 25 fps. DCP-o-matic tells me that the frame rate will be
adjusted to 25 fps. However, there is no indication what it will now do anything with the
audio? I think we discussed this before shortly, but didn't come to a proper
conclusion. With separate audio files, will DCP-o-matic simply assume that the separate
audio has to be in sync to the chosen DCP frame rate? Because with a different frame rate
for video, it could just as well resample the audio to 25 fps as well - but it needs to be
instructed to do so - which includes that there is a frame rate/sampling rate relation
established before and a change being notified.
The question is - with separate audio, how/where do you establish it's frame rate
reference at first so that DCP-o-matic knows to what framerate the audio is referenced?
With interleaved audio, this is clear, upon loading it, the audio/video timing reference
is established, but with separate video and audio files?
Did I make my issue clear?
