  Audio sync problems with Nattress G Converter

  Posted by Alexander Kallas on April 19, 2006 at 12:03 pm

  Hi all,
  I’ve noticed unacceptable audio sync problems with this plugin going from PAL to NTSC, especially noticeable in talking heads interviews.
  Graeme’s website mentions sync problem workarounds, anyone know what they are/ how successful?

  Cheers
  Alexander

  I always re-export the audio from the NTSC timeline. Strictly it should be unnecessary (in that if the timeline duration is preserved, you could use the audio exported from the original PAL timeline). However, I’ve always found exporting the audio again avoids any sync problems. Are you doing this?

  Yes,
  I’ve tried both of the above. The timeline length appears unaltered but it is out of sync.
  Graeme actually mentions that FCP slightly alters the speed of the material, but does not mention a workaround.
