  oddest sync error yet!

  Posted by Thom Obarski on May 11, 2010 at 10:46 pm

  ok so i’ve come across a fair amount of sync issues in fcp before today; but this one takes the cake!

  timeline: 960×720 dvcpro hd 29.97df dvcpro720p60
  dat file: 48/24

  syncing them up clap is on point but drifts out of sync across the length of the clip. Towards the end 2 people give a high five making another clapping sound like the slate; the clap happens visually where it should in the waveform; but at this point the phsyical sound is almost a second late.

  So far i’ve tried rebooting; restarting fcp, trashing all user preferences, trashing waveforms, and re-running an easy setup. Right now i’m running a repair permissions scan of the bootdisk.

  Any thoughts? Any help at all would be vastly appreciated.

  Sounds like a fairly common pulldown problem. Is your source footage from a film telecine session?

  Or it could be that FCP is trying to incorrectly ADD pulldown to the audio. Do you see a colored bar on the audio clip?
