    Newbie needs workflow for AVCHD files with Separate Audio in FCP7

    Posted by Josh Daniels on April 17, 2014 at 7:26 pm

    Hi,

    I’ve been struggling for a few days with this and I’m pretty sure that my receding hairline has receded even more as a result.

    I have a 4 camera project – a concert with approximately 1 hour of continuous shooting for each camera. The audio is a separate mix of the show.

    The cameras are mt2s at 59.94 fps with audio at 44.1. The separate mix is is 44.1 as well. I would like to sync all 4 cameras with the audio and make a multiclip of the show. What would be a smart way to go about this?

    Thanks,

    Josh

    First off, convert all the audio to 48Khz. FCP doesn’t sync properly with 44.1Khz. Not sure how a camera comes to record audio at 44.1K…all the ones I know record at 48K.

    Thanks – yes, you are correct. The original MT2Ss have 48K. I asked for a 48K WAV mixdown of the audio track and got one. I tried to convert to the Intermediate Codec and sync via in-points.

    I can get sync on all of the video in a multiclip, but the audio track is way way off – by minutes, even when I select the same in point.
