Music Video (Audio and Video Sync issue)…
Could someone PLEASE help me. This is my dilemma: I shot a music video on film, transferred everything and now I am ready to edit it. I created subclips out of all the takes and I am now ready to begin assembling slowly. My problem is that the audio unfortunately will have to be lip synced and in this lies my dilemma. Is there anyway in final cut pro to go through each clip and sync it to the main song that I laid down first in the timeline. Or, do I need to simply lay down the audio and then choose my shots accordingly, syncing as I go along. I would rather sync all the sublips first (do the hard work first) and then begin editing without haveing to worry about spending time syncing. Is this possible in Final Cut Pro? If yes, could someone please explain how I should go about it. Or, if anyone has any other advise/technique, I would love to know. Thankyou for your time!

When you had the film transferred to video did you have any sync reference for each take, like a slate? If yes I would sync each take to the audio before cutting up into subclips unless you’re really good at eyeballing sync.
But was the audio playback on the shoot sped up by 0.1%? If not, then you will have a hard time getting anything in your edit to stay in sync unless you now slow the audio track in FCP down by 0.1% because when film is transferred to video it is slowed down by 0.1%.
Of course if your are in pal land then this will not apply. Instead you will have a 4% difference the other way. -
Same here. I sync as i make sub clips. Kill two birds…
