  • Fine Tune Syncing of Video and Audio

    Posted by Shaun Knapp on September 15, 2006 at 6:14 am

    I have done this before back in school, but can’t remember how to sync audio to video to a finer degree than by frame.

    there was some keyboard shortcut that would let me move the audio back and forth and not keep it regimented to the frame, either Plus (+) one frame or minus (-) 1 Frame.

    How do I move the audio track just a tiny bit, less than a frame? Anyone know the keyboard shortcut, the keys I hold down that allow this?

    Click on (highlight) any clip on the timeline, type in a number (+ or -) and hit “return/enter”.

    The clip will move the number of frames typed-in.

    The limitation is that the clip cannot be butted up against another clip or it won’t move with this method..

    You should have several frames of “clearance” between the clips until you get the sync corrected.

    You can work with audio in Subframe.

    Open a clip in the viewer and zoom all the way in on the audio. Hold down the shift key while dragging the playhead within the duration of a single video frame. When you set the new edit point, the audio slips by fractions of a frame (can get to 1/1000th of a frame).

    For more info, search on Subframe in final cut help.

    Beautiful. Exactly what I needed, thanks a ton, it worked.
