External monitor/audio not quite in sync?

Not the canopus. Just tested on another camcorder and it is still out.

Sorry for the delay – I was out of the suite yesterday.

The ‘Abort PTV/ETT on dropped frames” is selected. I tried just playing back the sequence and the same happens. So it’s not just on printing. The sync holds up well in the Viewer and Browser windows; but not on the external monitor.

I’m at a loss, as this hasn’t happpened before.

Thanks,
Paul

Maybe your master clips are too long. Did you capture scene and take or did you capture the whole roll? Scene and take takes longer but is more reliable.

No, even the short clips I captured do it.
