  • Synch issues with exported videos

    Posted by Chris Borjis on June 29, 2007 at 8:55 pm

    Has anyone had a problem with exported timelines being
    4 to 8 frames off perfectly? meaning its out of synch from
    the beginning to the end and if you shift the audio over
    8 frames or however many its off, its perfect?

    BUT on the original timeline it was exported from its perfectly
    in synch so if it was edited to tape it would be fine, but
    sent to compressor and its off of course since the source exported
    file is/was.

    I have not had this problem on any of my projects but I’ve heard enough about it recently from many of my local partners that I’m very concerned .

    It almost sounds like a quicktime problem.

    Any ideas? There does not seem to be anything listed on the cow that I can find on it.

    This is typical for people who aren’t monitoring their audio & picture properly. Many people hook up a TV or video monitor for the picture, but continue to monitor their audio through their computer speakers.

    Your audio & picture should be from the same source, a mini-dv deck, or a capture card, for example. Your FCP manual has diagrams to show you how to properly connect your video & audio monitors.
