This article applies to:

E-Prime 3.0

Detail

E-Prime 3.0 is built with FFMpeg which supports the following extensions, formats, and codecs for SoundOut objects and SlideSoundOut sub-objects:

• wav
• 8-bit, 16-bit
• 8kHz, 22 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz
• Mono, Stereo
• mp3
• wma
• wma2
• wma7
• wma8
• wma9pro

MovieDisplay and SlideMovie (audio) shall support the following extensions, formats, and codecs:

• wav
• mp3
• wma
• aac
• dts
• ac3
• mp2

NOTE: While E-Prime 3.0 prefers to use 2 channel 48kHz at 16 bit, it supports 8 or 16-bit sounds. The audio becomes 16-bit 48kHz at the time of delivery to the operating system or Chronos. Resampling therefore occurs when you do not use 16-bit 48kHz stereo audio. If your audio has a bit depth greater than 16-bit, then it loses precision on the samples and upsampling occurs to a higher sampling rate. If the 16-bit 48kHz stereo sampling fails, then it falls back to 44.1kHz.
