  fcP 5 Sound and TV sync

  Posted by Caroline Ward on July 11, 2006 at 4:35 pm

  Hello,

  I am watching a tv signal through a canopus connected to a G5 and seperate speakers (also attached to the canopus). The problem is that the sound and tv are out of sync, but they are not on FCP, how can I correct this?

  You can change the frame offset in FCP’s System settings (Playback control tab). Might change that offset from the standard 4 frames… this is if I’m reading right… you are monitoring FROM FCP to a TV Set and then monitoring audio thru a speaker system right? Both coming from the canopus box?

  I’m wrong about the above… it’s probably not going to fix the sync…

  By changing the frame offset value in Final Cut Pro, you can compensate for the delay
  between your computer display and external video and audio outputs. Frame offset is
  active only when your sequence real-time effects are handled by Final Cut Pro.

  I’d suggest that you monitor it all externally… is that what you’re doing?
