Audio Sync issue FCP w/24F Advanced pulldown–HELP!
Hello, I have read the other audio sync posts, and could not find a solution to my specific case. I’ll try to be as bullet point here as I can.
Problem:
Audio Sync issue (gradual slippage over time) in viewer and canvas, but the Audio playback is fine in Quicktime original File.
I guess once it gets into FCP it goes out of sync.–Not all files do this (I will capture (3) 1 hour long mini-dv tapes in a row, and the first may be fine, the other two are out of sync when played back in any area (viewer, timeline, canvas) of FCP. Or I will just capture 1 tape and it will be out of sync. In other words– there seems to be no rhyme or reason to this, which is, after all, the nature of problems.
When I check info on files, they all say:
Format: DV, 720 x 480 (853 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Mono, 48.000 kHz
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Mono, 48.000 kHz
Frame Rate: 23.98Computer: Mac Book Pro 10.5.6
Camera : Canon XHA1
FCP : version 6.0I am shooting on a Canon XHA1. My camera is set to 16:9, “24F” and the 24F mode is set to (2:3:3:2) as opposed to the other option which is simply 2:3.
FCP setups:
AV
sequence preset:DV NTSC 48 khz 23.98Capture preset: DV NTSC 48khz Advanced 2:3:3:2 Pulldown Removal
Anyone got anything on this one?

Found another way to remove audio sync drift in 24f:
open files in Quicktime (not through FCP), directly from hard drive
select:file:
export:options:settings
settings:
frame rate: custom 23.98
compressor type: DvDVCPRO-ntsc
scan mode: progressive
aspect ratio: 16:9
uncheck internet streaming
quality at BESTExport.
(Change the name of the file if you need to, because otherwise you will have two files, the original with audio-sync drift when played through FCP, and the new version.)
This is a much faster work-around than re-digitizing the media.
