Audio in 24fps Sequence

[Jeremy Garchow]

Please post your system specs it will be much easier to help you. ALso, explain the problem a little better. You have an audio file that you received “for a reel” from Pro Tools? DId you mix down your audio? What’s your sequence set at?

Sorry in a rush is all…I’m working on a dual 1ghz G5 running FCP5. I exported the sound from an AVID 24P project to an OMF. The Pro Tools guy then mixed it down and gave it back. In the AVID project sync is fine but in the 24fps sequence it drifts. Never really had this problem with FCP before but never worked in 24fps in FCP before.

[Liam El Terrible] ” dual 1ghz G5 running FCP5″

Do you mean a dual 2 ghz g5 or a dual 1ghz g4?

What media drives are you playing off of? Have you yourself mixed down the audio in FCP (render->mixdown) or option-command-r.

Is your timeline set to 24 or 23.98? What’s the source material? Was the avid set for 24 or 23.98?

I meant Pro Tools, not avid.

Sorry again Jeremy taking time now…i meant Dual 2ghz. Playing off a Raid. yeah did the mixdown thing. The timeline is 24fps the source material is 24fps. The avid is 24fps as well.When i sync up the end the start becomes out of sync and vice versa so seems to me as if the audio file or settings are bad…Hoep this is clearer.
cheers

The pro tools project is 24fps too. When i bring the audio into AVID its syncs perfect. Just having an issue with FCP. We are doing the color correction and export to digi beta in FCP thats why we need to figure out the problem.

[Jeremy Garchow]

So you’re saying it’s a staight 24 and not 23.98, correct? Do me a favor and hit apple zero on your sequence and tell me the frame rate indicated there.

[Liam Stephens]

Yep 24 editing timebaase.

[Aaron Neitz]

apple+j, set audio speed to 99.91%. basically you need to slow down 24.0fps to 23.98fps for video land.

[Liam Stephens]

Yeah we were hoping to do that once we had it synced in the 24fps sequence. so the video and Audio were conformed to 23.98. It is very nit picky but theoretically it should work as good in FCP as in AVID (well i would like it to work better 😉 ). Just trying to put the best possible quality out u know. Don’t want it to be always thing the sound is 99.1% sped up!
