    So a PA accidentally played back the track on set at the wrong tempo for a bunch of shots.
    Instead of the correct 125 bpm the actors moved their lips to the track playing at 120 bpm.
    In other words the footage will need to be sped up in post:

    By how many percent ?!

    Also is twixtor good enough for this? ( 4K footage shot on Red ). Looking to fix this mistake in the smoothest way possible.

    Should be 4% if my math is right, which is why I edit cause
    School was never my thing.

    With that being said, just eye it. Find a phrase with a nice
    P sound and play with the speed. Will take less time than
    Waiting for someone to answer you.

    hmm… at this point, it’s likely that even though you may speed it up you will still find sync issues throughout the video. I’d keep an eye on it, and at the risk of corrupting the video, it may be best to try and reshoot it if that’s at all possible. That’s a gorgeous resolution on a gorgeous camera, it’d be a shame to have to compromise the quality in any way.
