Quicktime OK… Import to FCP Audio/Video Out of Sync! Any Ideas?
Hey Guys,
I’ve read similar issues involving this problem but none of the answers I’ve read offer a realistic answer for my situation. The QT files captured in FCP 7 play fine in QT, MPEG, and VLC. But inside FCP they are way out of sync and impossible to fix. I’ve tried XML export import, different project/sequence settings, etc. The shows I am cutting range from 30 mins to 4hours so transcoding them isn’t a realistic fix because it takes way too long. Has anyone found a fix to this?
Thanks,
Terry W. -

What video codec are you attempting to edit?

BLACKMAGIC 1080p 59.94 48k

I have also captured in Blackmagic 1080i 59.94, 10 bit, 8 bit, pro res, same result.

Are you monitoring video through a Blackmagic card but monitoring the audio from the computer audio output. If so, they will be out of sync. You need to monitor the audio output of the Blackmagic card.

David & John,
Thanks so much for the help. I figured it out. I ended up running tests with the capture settings in FCP 7. Even though it was 1080i or 1080p 59.94 I selected different frame rates by editing the 1080i 59.94 capture settings. Ultimately 30fps is what has worked. Everything, even after a 30min capture, is completely in sync. I wonder if all the other posts about this issue could be solved that way? Thanks again,
Terry Walters
