  • Out of sync audio from Compressor

    Posted by Daryl Lannert on September 23, 2009 at 8:52 pm

    Hello,
    We are trying to standards convert a 50min NTSC Apple ProRes 1080i file to PAL Apple ProRes 1080i through compressor. Every time we send it through, we receive a file with with audio gradually slipping out of sync. First 10-15 minutes seem fine but by minute 30, we are out of sync. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hoe are you doing the standards conversion?

    What I mean is, what settings are you using?

    Here are our settings:
    Under the Encoder tab –
    Video – Apple ProRes, 25FPS

    Audio – Linear PCM, Stereo, 48 KHZ Render settings-Normal, PCM Settings 24bit.

    Streaming – none

    Under The Frame Controls Tab –
    Frame Controls-On
    Resize Filter – Better
    Output Fields – Top first
    Deinterlace – Fast
    Adaptive details – Check

    Rate Conversion – Fast

    Set Duration – We have used both % of source and “So Source Frames Play at 25FPS”

    Under the Filters Tab – None

    Under the Geometry tab –
    Frame Size – Grayed out 1920 x1080 – 100% of source

    That is all of the settings we are using. Hopefully you can find something we are doing wrong. Thanks for your help.

    I’ve not used Compressor for standards conversion. I use Nattress for that. I suggest at the very least you set Compressor’s Rate Conversion quality setting to Best. When changing a clip’s scaling or timebase with Compressor, I always go with Best quality settings.
