Major Sync Issues
Not sure what’s going on, I’m still kind of new to FCP. If I play time line and watch my computer monitor and listen to my external speakers, it’s in sync, but if I watch my Broadcast monitor it’s out of sync with my computer monitor and external speakers, but if I listen to the audio in headphones that’s going through my deck it’s in sync with the broadcast monitor but not the computer monitor or external monitors.
If I adjust the audio in the timeline to be in sync with the external speakers and the broadcast monitor when I output it’s out of sync on my tape. If the audio coming from my deck is in sync with the broadcast monitor it’s fine for output.
So, computer monitor and external speakers, in sync
Broadcast monitor and audio through a deck, in sync
Computer monitor lags behind broadcast monitor
External speaker lag behind audio coming through deck.
What am I missing? -

let me guess, your playback offset is set to 4 frames in your user preferences. this is the default, reset it to zero and try again.

don’t know what card you are using to get out to your monitor but if it’s kona…
“Playback offset is in your System Settings.
It should always be 0 for any Kona product. Default is 4.”

If you’re NOT using a card and are instead using a firewire based output (AJA io for example),
you will NEVER get the NTSC monitor to match your computer screens. Pick one. You can get the audio to match the ntsc monitor or you can get it to match the computer, but you can’t do both. Reason? The firewire introduces a delay.Workarounds: Use an internal card like the AJA Kona or Blackmagic. The faster speed of the internal bus allows the card to output video in sync with the computer.
