  Sync Sound Problem

  Posted by Zach Kuperstein on August 12, 2009 at 4:21 pm

  I’ve shot 720p/24pn footage and recorded audio with an external Tascam recording device at 16bit/48khz. I then try to sync the footage with the audio in FCP using a clapped slate and aside from the clap itself, they are not even close.

  I’ve read forums saying that the sequence settings must match the audio bitrate and they do.

  I should note that the audio is a .wav file if that makes a difference.

  Any thoughts on why my sound won’t sync up? Any suggestions on what I might try to fix it?

  That is strange. Are they Bwave files (broadcast wav)? You could try converting one clip to an AIFF 16bit/48Khz in iTunes and see if that makes a difference.

  I’ve had some issues with sync when exporting OMF files for my audio post guys so maybe there is some glitch with FCP.
