Rendering shifts video, creating loss of sync.

[Stuart Lanceley]

I have had a similar-ish problem with certain shots in a sequence going out of sync with the audio when i export using ‘Quicktime Conversion->H.264’

This was an interview shot on two HDV cameras, one was a wide shot, the other handheld closeups.

The video footage shot on the handheld camera was all about 16 frames out of sync with the audio after exporting.
This caused missed deadlines, diplomatic breakdown with client and much hair loss.

I found that if I made a duplicate sequence, changed the sequence Settings to ‘None’ compression and then exported using Quicktime Conversion-> H.264, then in the Video settings selected ‘Key Frames -> All’ that the problem was fixed.

I have no idea why. I just hope this saves someone else some brainache.
