    Hi,

    I am finishing online on a 23.976 HD feature. We downconverted to 29.97 dvcam and edited the feature in Xpress Pro 4.6. Online is just about finished with a 23.976 master. We were aware of our audio losing sync due to the conversion of 29.97 source to 23.976. My question is whether or not I can take a 23.976 quicktime from the online and copy it into a 23.976 Xpress Pro project? Then can I export an audio OMF from my original 29.97 xpress pro project and import it into my “online” reference 23.976 xpress pro project to correct sync issues before it goes to the mixer?

    Thanks,

    Shane

    There should no audio sync loss when going from 29.97 to 23.976. At worst you will ahve a +/-1 frame at any one point but this is not a cumulative error. It is the expected relationship between the two.

    You could take a QUicktime in, or just make a WAV file and work from there.
