  • Audio Sync Weirdness

    Posted by David Hoffman on October 31, 2019 at 1:11 pm

    I’ve been editing short docs and web content in FCP for several years, and this has never happened before – was syncing audio files (spoken dialogue from a talking head interview) to video and the sounds seems to be at a very slightly different speed from the in-camera sound.

    Both were recorded simultaneously – audio via lav mic into a Zoom recorder – but when I lay them together the audio is in sync at the beginning of the clip, but completely off at the end. I’m having to go through and re-sync every minute or so of footage as it starts to slide.

    Has anyone ever dealt with this before? Anyway to fix and/or prevent from happening in the future? Is this just Halloween gremlins messing with my mind?

    Thanks!

    Frame rates?
    What if you do it by hand?
    What format is the audio coming in as?
