    Hi,

    I captured and edited my entire film on a 23.98timeline, ( HDV 720p @ 24fps).

    Now, my sound guy is saying there is no 23.98 in audio and he recorded it according to 24p.

    Is syncing the DAT sound possible now ?

    there is no frames per second for audio.

    Your probably worried for nothing.

    get the audio and lay it down, its probably fine

    I synched sound from multiple cameras all the time, as long as you have a good “snap” at the beginning of the takes. Otherwise you’ll have to work a little more but just drop the sound on the timeline, turn on the visualization of the waveform and move it until it synchs. If you have a slate simply scrub the video up to the point where the slate “clicks”, move frame by frame, set a marker, scrub the audio until you get the first click of the slate, set another market and then drag the audio click by the marker until it aligns with the video marker. Be sure to have “snap” on (press N to toggle) and it should take a minute to synch a clip.
