Sync Issues.
I’m having sync issues with video I’m creating via ‘Quicktime conversion’ out of FCP 7 and uploading to the internet. I am creating 1920×1080 files from 5D footage. They play great in the timeline but again, when they play on the site, there is drift.
I’ve checked clip properties and discovered that the VO and H4N audio is 44.1Khz, while the music bed is 48Khz. The sequence properties are 48Khz, 16-bit, channel grouped.
I’d like to know what I need to do to get all of my audio synced. Thanks everyone in advance for any help you can give me.

Did you convert the H.264 files the Canon 5D produces to ProRes before you started editing? Or did you edit with the camera originals?
FCP doesn’t work well with H.264 files. It may seem to go well while editing, but then many issues can arise when exporting. Loss of sync, footage getting cut off, starting late.

Hey Shane,
I converted all files to ProRes 422 HQ. I re-checked all of them just to make sure I didn’t accidentally pull a native file into the time line. All of them are ProRes.

Use Compressor to convert your audio files to 48k Stereo AIFF files. See if that helps.

Hey John,
Could I instead convert just the music bed to 44.1 since it is the only file that is 48kHz? Then, when I export, could I not just set the audio to 44.1kHz?

The reason John suggested converting your audio to 48K is, the associated audio sample rate for video is 48K. CD audio on the other hand is 44.1.

Hey everyone. I converted all 44.1 audio to 48. Everything is working in perfect sync now. Thanks ‘all’ for your help on this.
