  • sync issues while subtitling

    Hi!
    I’m subtitling a miniDV shot interview project using FCP’s text tool. Some clips go out of sync when I put subs over them. When I disable subs, those clips go back to being synced. Couldn’t find answers in archives.
    Thanks!

    Have you tried rendering those sections? I’ve had issues where things will seem slightly out of sync until a render.

    tried that. Rendering gets rid off jumpcuts in between subtitles on the same interview clip, but it remains out of sync. Whereas if I delete/disable subtitles over those clips, video goes back in sync. Mind you, it’s only a problem with about 10 clips. The rest of the 45 min project remains in sync and unaffected with subtitles or without.
    I have an option of importing an older export of the project, put subs over that and reexport it, but I don’t want to do that – the project already has too much DV/archival footage and I want to avoid generation loss.
    Thanks!
