    Posted by Mike Puleo on May 30, 2010 at 6:23 pm

    For some reason when I play my footage in the time line the audio goes out of sync. When i pause and then resume from current location audio is back in sync. Any ideas on why this happens and how to fix it.

    Hi,
    if you have used a real-time-effect on any of your clips on the timeline this could happen. please have a look if you have a green line on top of your timeline – that is showing a realtime-effect is used.

    where are you comparing audio sync ? for example, any video I/O card will have several frames of delay between its own outs and the computer monitor. however, audio should be in perfect sync with the video cards outs.

    if you are looking at computer monitor and computer audio out, it should be good.

    very first thing to do is trash FCP prefs and it will probably be fixed.

    if that fails, the very next thing I would check is the source material. if thats good –

    you need to be more specific about your hardware / source materail / what you are doing with the clips on the TL.
