  • Final Cut Express and Canon XL1s sync problems.

    Using a Canon XL1s to import footage into Final Cut Express. I’m importing either 30 minute clips or 60 minute clips using the “Capture Now” function. However, when I do this the audio and video drift out of sync. I know in earlier versions of Final Cut Pro there was a feature in the preferences that dealt with this problem and Jerry Hoffman in his DVD “Final Cut Pro 100” states to check this box if using Canon camcorders; why should Canon camcorders be any different? and why am I getting this problem and how can I fix it?

    I too am having a sync problem with footage digitized from a Canon XL1 to Final Cut Express. The drift is usually only a frame or two, but once it was as much as a couple of seconds, suggesting it may not be a simple offset. Is there a problem digitizing long runs of 30 to 45 minutes rather than shorter segments?
