LHi audio sync problem

Make sure all your audio is 24 bit 48K

make sure there are no gaps in the audio tracks

try doing an audio mixdown within FCP.

Sato-san,

what is your original format?
what are your timeline settings?

This is a problem with all of the DSLR camera formats, none of those cameras support 24bit audio at capture. So the audio has to be rendered for playback and RT extreme is rendering audio files faster than it is rendering video files.
A complete render of your timeline will solve this issue 99.99% of the time.

Turn off RT extreme (use SAFE Mode) and render your timeline completely.

Adcock-san.

original format:ProresHQ(captured by LHi,from HDW-1800 HDCAM deck)
timeline format:ProresHQ

So,I don’t have to Render.
Timeline isn’t red From the start.

I Turn off RT extreme.but,not sync.

thank you.

“

are there any gaps in your timeline?
any audio that was not captured from HDCam source tape?

Voice over
Narration?
External Music?
and On-screen Graphics?

any of these can cause render to shift.

Thank you for your reply,Mr gary adcock.

I tested.1

1.Rec interview with camera mic.
2.Play back check,with HDW1800 LCDmonitormonitor+monitor out.
it’s just sync.
3.Capture with LHi on SDI+SDIembeded audio. Prores setting.
4.I put only 1 clip on FCPtimeline.
5.playback sometimes.

Some time, when I play the timeline, the audio wil go out of sync from video.
It happen intermitten.

Do you always start play with the playhead on the first frame? If you start in the empty portion of the sequence you may lose sync. This happened to me recently. I had to insert a slug into any empty spaces in the timeline (audio or video) and then the sync was good. I read of someone else having this problem a month or two ago, but had never seen it myself until two weeks ago.
