a picture sync problem

[Jay Thompson]

Hi Jason, thanks for your ideas. However it did not work.

Actually it’s not the info pallette, that really only gives you color and positional info. However it’s right next to the “audio” pattette and “time controls” is right under that.

In the “audio” pallette the line at the top of the audio meter stays black (no red). I believe this indicates that’s it real time. In the “time controls” I show frame rate of 29.97, skiping no frames and using half resolution for my ram previews.

I mostly preview at 100% at half res. I tried as per your sugestion previewing all the way down to 12.5% and res. down to quarter. None of this made any difference.

I’ve got a idea. Tonigth I’ll use Camtasia Studio to record what it’s doing (audio and picture wise) about a 5 sec clip of the RAM preview in AE then I’ll paste a rendered 5 sec clip of what it looks like rendered. I’ll post that link tomorrow.

Perhaps one of you great moo cows will have a brain storm.

Hello everyone, and thanks for all the suggestions.

GOT IT FIXED!!! As I told you early in the postings that my rough editing was done in Avid and then imported to AE for whatever.

In all the things I tried (and others suggested), the one thing I did not do was reboot the MOJO ( stand-alone hardware for digital and analog I/O in conjunction with Avid Express Pro HD). I was off tring to get audio to output to Camtasia Studio, when I determined to reboot the MOJO.

Although I don’t know why. I do know that NOW my AE timeline sources are now in preview sync again. So…for those out there that might be working with a system set-up like mine…look to the MOJO when you start to experience problems.

Thanks again to everyone.

Wow. Glad you fixed it.

Thanks for posting the solution — not everyone does, y’know. 🙂
