    I would at least rebuild the audio. That’s seems to be where the problem lies. That and like Gary said, the footage was changed in the middle kind of willy nilly.

    You have to start right to end right.

    [Jeremy Garchow] “You have to start right to end right.”

    Ha. Nice. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Gentlemen. I will rebuild it. I have the technology.

    More evidence to suggest my 24 – 23.98 “conversion” doesn’t work is that when I send to color, the color sequence still says 24fps.

    Yes. Your problem lies within that little conundrum somewhere in both audio and video.

    I’d try a little test project (maybe don’t do the whole thing) and see if it fixes it, if it does then I would start the whole process.

    I have an interesting idea: I checked the Pro Tools session and they are in fact, 24fps. What if I changed the Pro Tools session to 23.976, then go to FCP and send my timeline to Color. Render out untouched DPX files and gather the media and reimport to FCP with Gluetools set at 23.98 on import, along with the 23.98 easy setup. Then I import my audio stems exported from the new mix from the 23.98 project in pro tools. That sounds pretty golden to me!

    I graded my project in color, rendered to DPX, gathered the media and imported the DPX sequence into FCP with gluetools set to 23.976 and an easy set up set to 23.976. I re-imported the audio (which I now know conclusively that it was used in a 24fps Pro Tools sequence) and everything is in sync now! Thanks Jeremy!

    Just so you know, Final Cut’s omf will always say its 24fps even if your sequence is at 23.976. I always have to ask and usually if its not film it will be 23.976.
