16 bit integer vs 32 bit floating point
What is the difference between these two settings?
My question stems from the problem I have importing files from different networked servers. I put FCP files (NTSC DV - self contained movies) into the server with 16 bit settings, but when I pull the same file off the server and import it into my FCP, this setting is set to 32 bit floating point, forcing me to have to render the audio.
This format difference causes stuttering during playback in the viewer, and is an inconvenience when dealing with tight deadlines (something that needs to be done in 5 minutes).
Any thoughts would be helpful.
