  FCP 6 Exporting for DVD audio Sync issues with different codecs

  Posted by Zach Hammel – shaver on December 16, 2011 at 6:32 pm

  HI,

  So I’ve been on the creative cow forms for years just lurking. I’ve decided to sign up so I can actually participate.

  I have found posts where other people are having similar problems but I can’t seem to find the solution for my exact problem.

  I have a 64 min short film I’m trying to get to DVD at the highest feasible quality.

  My raw footage is HDV from a canon hv30 camera at 1440 X 1080 29.97 fps I’m using a HDV 1080i60 codec.

  I have about 14 sequences within a master sequence for organization purposes. I have already mixed and round tripped each sequences through soundtrack pro.

  When I go to export it as a self contained QT file for compressor to burn to DVD the audio slowly falls out of sync until at the end it’s close to 6 seconds off. It’s about a 12 GB file.

  I duplicated the project and converted all the sequences to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) rerendored and exported again to a self contained QT file. This time the audio stays in sync but the file size is close to 90GB.

  Any thoughts if my goal is to get the project onto a DVD using compressor at the highest quality possible?

  So is there no hope for getting an HDV export with the audio synced?

  Excuse me if this is ignorant but why would a ProRes 422 export have synced audio and the HDV be out of sync?

  As for the next step. Can you make an recommendations for compressor settings? I think I may be able to us my new macbook pro to burn to a duel layer dvd. Would this be the way to go?

  Thanks for your thoughts Dave.

  I’ve been working with FCP for a few years now but never had to export a major project yet.

  I still feel like there’s some voodoo in codecs. 😉

  Thanks again for the help Dave!
