I’m with you on this. I’m sick and tired of having these problems with my Canon XL1 and GL1 not syncing properly during capture now. Mine is about the same around 25-30 frames off.
Another issue I have is when I sync things together. I’m viewing the video out from the XL1 to a monitor and audio using “built in”. At this point everything is in sync. As soon as I turn off video monitoring everything is out of sync inside FCP canvas. I also tried out putting audio to the client monitor with video and same thing – no sync.
Is there a better way? What is the correct way to monitor audio and video. I never had these problems with Premiere Pro, Vegas, Liquid, and Media Studio Pro.
Thanks,
Frank
