Audio Sync Issues with OMF

[Shane Ross]

Nope. Are you working on a 23.98 timebase and they import into a 29.97 timebase or anything like that?

also check drop frame / non drop in pro tools.

one thing that will help you avoid this forever is to create
a DV-NTSC quicktime .mov file with timecode burned into it.

when loaded into protools they can go right to the beginning
and end and verify with the protools timecode that there
will be no synch drift.

I’ve done countless 23.98 and 29.97 omf exports for my
audio engineer and they are always in synch.

The last time I had one track sync issues with FCP was version 2. Not had a sync issue since version 3 FCP. I don’t use ProTools however.

In the old days, dissolves used to push clips out of sync by the length of the dissolve. To find the problem the old trick was to line up a pip at the start and end of a sequence on every track. That made it easy to work out if a track had pushed.
