Avid importing .wav files wrong length.
I have a client running AVID v8.9.3. When they import a .wav file that I've output, it appears to be one frame long on import. (it's a 15 second commercial).
This does not appear to be the case if I send an .AIF. I've imported the .wav file into several other programs on my end (Wave Agent, Izotope RX, Davinci Resolve) and the .wav file appears to be the correct length (though the start TC is 1 frame early for some reason). Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Re: Avid importing .wav files wrong length.
Did you create the WAV on the frame-grid in PT or is it just over a frame border long? The AVID will compensate that by adding samples with digital zero audio up to the next full frame so it can work with the file correctly.

Re: Avid importing .wav files wrong length.
That's good to know. I was in grid mode, but used the quicktime as a reference to set the in/out point. It should be the same thing, since the video rests on the frame boundaries.
And checking by manually setting the in and out point and then comparing sample length (within protools) verifies that the length of the file I output is correct. Why Avid would treat an aif differently from a .wav is a mystery to me. I think it's an Avid bug.

Is this a project with a US-centric frame rate or straight 24.00 or 25.00fps? Frank.

Re: Avid importing .wav files wrong length.
Is your starting timecode 00:00:00:00?
We’ve had similar issues sending to Media Composer with a zero timecode start. We just moved everything to 1hr and no more issues. I can’t be specific about the issue we were having (because it was some time ago) but it did involve an added or dropped frame. Hope this helps. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Re: Avid importing .wav files wrong length.
I just had the same thing happen. A 53 minute file bounced in Digital Performer at 48kHz drag and dropped onto Pro Tools 2018.4 also at 48kHz. Changed length to 57 minutes and played slower and distorted. If imported via import audio menu it offered to convert the file and subsequently played it ok.

Re: Avid importing .wav files wrong length.
Yet all the other editors see it correctly..

Re: Avid importing .wav files wrong length.
Is there a way to edit the header data to correct it?
