  • Subclips Out Of Sync

    Hi All,

    I am restarting a project that I am taking over from another editor and am having a problem with the audio.

    Namely, a large number of the subclips are OOS.

    They were clearly in sync at one point as the clips are OOS in the sequences as well.

    I suspect that they were slid for specific shots and somehow this went up the workflow.

    It should also be noted that this project has been moved across two computers and upgraded from 6.0.1 to current FCP. I feel that this is probably not the problem, but know that it might be.

    What I need, is to slide them back as there has been a large amount of work done on this project that I need to keep.

    So my question is – is there a way of changing audio sync in a subclip and will that affect the downstream sequences?

    If more info is needed, please forgive me, I am a long time reader, but infrequent poster, and will gladly give more details.

    FCP 6.0.5
    Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 GHz
    OSX 10.5.6
    QT Pro 7.6

    Hi,

    Quick Update,

    So I think after reading what I could find, that this may be some sort of issue with Merging clips that are then on the timeline, desynced (desunk?) for the purposes of moving things around there.

    Somehow, this desyncing is then pushed upwards and the Merged clips are thrown out of sync.

    My question is, is it possible to put these subclips back into sync?

    I realise that I am using Merged/Subclips interchangeably and they are perhaps not. If this ignorance is part of the issue, please let me know and I will bone up on that. If it’s not, and you know a solution, I’d be grateful, I’m looking at a redo of an enormous project right now otherwise.

    Yours,

    Martin
