Sync Problems
I don’t know where to best post this, so I am putting it here and under FCP.
I can understate how appreciated any help would be!!!I am working on Protools LE 7.1
I am working with 2 editors both working NTSC projects on FCP. The 2 have given me Bounces of the 2 separate films they are working on, with the same settings as far as I can tell (29.97 DF, 48kHz, 16 bit), the outcome, however has been different. I bounced them both stereo interleaved at the same data rates they gave meEditor 1’s project was in perfect sync
Editor 2’s was not as pretty!!
The sequence seems to get progressively out of sync…although it doesn’t feel as bad as the difference between Pal and NTSC (4.97 FPS).
How else can I end this but HELP! and I really hope its not a matter of redoing the project because the audio was horrible (imagine the sound the neon light being as loud as the signal generated by the person speaking!!!!)

Is audio ahead or behind picture?
Did you use Digi Translator (the plug-in) or just import a stereo track? IF you imported the tracks, check the PT session settings to see if it’s any different from the FCP project settings, sample rate and bit rate matter – TC is irrelevent unless you are using DV Toolkit.
If all of your settings match, I would suspect that Editor#2 may have his or her project or hardware settings incorrect – perhaps on the export. Using a basic Firewire-based Final Cut system it’s almost impossible to use anything but 48k for playback – Even using other sample rates, FCP re-proccesses it to 48k for playback .

I am using DigiTranslator as part of the DV Toolkit…all the session settings are the same on this end, and on his, but…any suggestions?
