Let us change the sample rate of MP3 audio exports or cap it at 44.100 hz

Sometimes a source video has 48.000 hz audio.

 

Exporting to MP3 from Media Encoder gives some options (like changing the kbps say from 256 to 128) but not to change the sample rate, these are not the same thing.

 

The resulting MP3 ends up with whatever sample rate the source had, this is fine but it gives compatibility issues with some applications like Adobe Animate which do not accept 48.000 hz audio. Web content in many instances is also limited to 44.100 hz max.

 

Either let us choose the sample rate ourselves or cap it to 44.100 hz for this specific format.

It is correct that AME does not currently support changing the MP3 sample rate. I will file a feature request and discuss it with the team. In the meantime, you can use Audition to do this.
