  • Audio sync problem when exporting from Color to FCP

    Posted by Mónica Calderón on November 29, 2011 at 2:10 pm

    Hello,

    At the office we have sent a 23.98 Apple Pro Res HQ sequence to to Color. After finishing the grading we used the Original Format output and sent it to FCP. Now the audio is out of sync. We are stumped and don’t know what to do. Any advice? Thanks.

    Did you use the send to Color option in Final Cut Pro or did you export the video as a Stand Alone Quicktime file? Do you have your original ungraded sequence in Final Cut still?

    Hi Brad,

    The sequence was sent from FCP to Color then back to FCP. In Color we used render to Original Format.

    If you export your footage to a stand alone Quicktime file from Final Cut Pro, do you still see the sound sync problem? It could be the speed of your computer that is causing the drift.

    That happened to me a while back. I never worked out why, but all I did was make a copy of the sequence from before sending it to Color, deleted the video and copied over the vision from the sequence returned from Color (so that the audio hadn’t done the round trip, only the video) and that was fine.
