MAJOR SYNC PROBLEM
Hi I am working on a short film. The director synced up everything before giving it to me and now every master clip is 2 frames out of sync with one master clip 8 frames out of sync. I was going to just fix it in the time line but then I realized that I wouldn’t have a master clip that was in sync; I’d just have it in sync in the time line. Is there a way to sync up the master clip in the time line and then duplicate it so I have a master clip that is now in sync? So that I am as clear as I can be, I want to create a new master clip after having synced up the original master clip. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thank you

Was the audio captured with video or was your audio recorded separately?

It was recorded separately

Then I am confused. If he gave it to you in sync, but now it’s out of sync, and you want to resync it, why don’t you just resync it and relink?

When it was given to me in the quick time format after they synced it up it was out of sync by two frames already. What I really want to know is the workflow for making the master clip I put in the time line a new master clip after I unlink it to sync it up in the time line.

Unlink Video and audio, sync, link video and audio. It’s that easy.

If you need a master clips in the borswer, you drag that new synced clip up to the browser and right click and choose ‘Make Master Clip’

Ok well that’s pretty simple. Yeah my goal was to make a master clip out of the newly synced clip. Thank you for the tip.

Most HD content is laid down 2 frames out of sync, DVCPROHD is notorious for this, most of the workflows ( FCP for example) handle this on ingest via tape- if it was from tapeless production it becomes the editors job however.

The easiest was is to just relink the footage in the timeline to the new corrected clip.

Hey, hoping you can help me with this:
I followed your directions–I drug the clip to the timeline, unlinked, re-synched, then re-linked. But when I drag the clip back to the browser, the audio doesn’t come with it. I’ve checked and re-checked–they are definitely linked. But only the video part of the clip is dragged to the browser. I have to have a re-synched master clip. Any suggestions?
thanks!
