    I’m sure this question has been answered before but after searching through most of the forum I couldn’t find it. I’m having problems when capturing from our Sony DV Deck into FCP. After I capture the footage I’ll play it back and the audio has slipped. So I always have to move the audio around when in the timeline. Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks.

    1. If you are using external FW drives, they are not “sanctioned” by Apple for use with FCP. They may not be able to “keep pace” on longer clips. Use internal drives (but NOT the drive that contains the FCP software).

    2. You should capture in clips of 10 minutes or less.
    If you “off-line” and mark the in-points and out-points on “good” takes and capture them, it may help.
    On “long-form” programs (music, plays, lectures. etc.) you can mark the long takes into under-10 minute clips and recombine them on the timeline.
