why "Conformed Audio Files" in Adobe Premiere Pro?

[Zjaaspoer]

Hi,

Just interested. I just prepared all my footage for a adobe premiere pro project. I encoded the audio into 16 bit 48.000 khz with the idea that adobe wouldnt need to conform the audio cause these were the same audio settings as my project. Why does adobe still convert the audio?!?!

Did you use the same format... as in PCM,AC3 or MPG audio. How about the bitrate for the audio is that the same?

It doesn't convert, rather it prepares a separate file for more accurate audio editing..
I'm not an audio engineer :P but i do realize, that to do some of the special audio effects, and samplerate accuracy, the "conformed audio" file is required..
If it's taking up too much disk space, just delete it..

It's a shame that Premiere doesn't have a Preference to skip the "confirmed audio"..
Especially for simple edits..

Confrimed audio in PPRO gives you the ability to edit audio more precisely.

to answer thecoalman, I think I did. I used uncompressed PCM 16bits at 48 kHz... So i would guess these are the same....

but apparently there's an advantage in extracting the audio files in the same format but as a different file (am i right?)

to be clear: I'm not having any problems but I was just interested why PPRO still needed to conform the audio files...

Yes.

Personal preferences really..Most people encode separate audio and video streams, so in any case, you can extract the audio, and clean up any noise, and encode to .AC3 with a separate authouring/encoder tool.

I've already said as much as you probably need to know..
