  • Panasonic AF100 footage. some in sync, some not

    Interesting situation here.

    AF100 footage at 23.976 editing in CS 6.01

    So far from 3 different shoots everything is in sync and fine.

    got some new footage today, same exact camera recording settings.
    It’s all out of sync.

    If you put it on the timeline it’s out of sync and goes silent a few
    seconds before the end of the clip.

    If I open clips in same project from any other shooting day its fine.

    also played out of sync clips in vlc and they are in sync

    tried it on another cs 6.01 mac, same problem.

    thinking maybe transcoding the footage to prores to get around it.

    any thoughts?

    I did try holding down shift when launching premiere to clear preferences, no change

    Have you allowed the audio time to conform? Are you playing it off a slower driver?

    ya all files have conformed (it was about 20 clips)

    playing off a very capable macpro with Raid5 and quadro 4000 gpu card.

    I hardly ever have any issues that get mentioned here, but this one
    got me today.

    I did read a suggestion about deleting the .cfa files and having cs 6.01
    conform them again.

    I’ll post updates or a workaround as these have to be used for editing tomorrow.

    I went into the folder containing the .mts files for the out of sync
    footage.

    sorted by file kind, deleted all conform files within:
    .xmp
    .cfa
    .pek

    (These are the files adobe creates when conforming/importing as everyone knows)

    relaunched premiere and now they are all in sync.

    All I can think of that might have caused the issue is that I hit save
    while the conform was occurring and it somehow disrupted and threw the audio sync off.

    the new order of the day around here is: import files, don’t do anything until conforming is done
