audio slipping timeline & dvd studio pro
I’ve been working in HD, but now must bring in some SD to various projects. I’ve started a new project, converted FCP audio/video settings back to NTSC DV 48 khz (with QT compressor settings at DV/DVCPRO-NTSC), matched my sequence settings and captured.
The.mov files play fine when opened in QT, but the audio slips in FCP timeline AND when I import .mov file to dvd studio pro.
I’m guessing it’s a setting problem, all captures I’ve done this way with tapes from various cameras are doing this.
Also, any recommendations for tutorials to keep “sense in settings” for us editors who are tech-challenged?
Thanks for you thoughts (and mild chastising about my ignorance!)

what’s the actual source? Is it DV footage? Do you actually want to work in a DV frame or are you inserting actual SD footage into an HD timeline? It was a little ambiguous in your wording.
Look at your audio frequencies.
Non-linear: all the time and nothing but.

Thanks Robb, for your quick reply!
The source is mini-DV SD tapes. For the moment, I’m just trying to capture and get the media onto DVD for the client to view. Eventually we will be incorporating all media into HD sequences.
I’m guessing problem is with capture settings, though perhaps entire project sequence and clip settings are in-congruent, and causing issues.
I’ve “rigged” sequence to a 720X480 NTSC DV setting with an editing timebase of 25. All audio setting are 48 KHz. This has alleviated audio slip. But I still don’t “get it.” If I bring in the clip to my HD sequence (1440X1080, editing timebase 25, QT video setting HDV 1080i50) it plays well, but the time to make a QT movie is ridiculous-long; 6 hours for a 40 minute clip.
Actually, this long QT issue is the same when I’m working with my HD media in the HD sequence as well. Even Dvd Studio Pro has issues with extremely long write times. Could it be a memory issue? [running on 8 GB of memory on a Power Mac G5 with 2 GHz Processer]
Obviously, I’m a bit lost moving into HD world. Aside from current problem, I feel like I’m continually guessing on FCP settings. Can someone suggest a good place to get basic setting suggestions and reasons for incorporating different media types?

Sequence to clip settings must still be messed up, because though the audio “sticks with” the video, the video now “sticks” and jerks every few seconds. Sequence settings at an editing timebase of 25 matches audio but not video?
All sd-video is from cameras/videographers for which I have no contact nor any notes on filming set-up; I can only look at clip setting once I’ve captured them via my deck. I’ve tried to match clip settings with sequence settings, then vice-versa (allow sequence to match clip in FCP).
Help! I’m completely lost and deadline is tomorrow.
