Sync Issues with importing DVCPRO 50 with AJ-SD93 on 5.1.2 …Urgent
We are having major sync issues with our capture of DVCPro 50 tapes with an AJ-SD93. we are doing a TV Series for the second year, and we had the exact same setup with 5.04 and it didn’t give us any problems. But now it is, and I don’t know if it’s related to Final Cut and the DV50 setiings, the deck, the tape??? We have tried multiple different settings with no luck whatsoever? DV50 anamorphic, DV50 23.97, etc. Here is what happens, when we capture the clips, we are capturing with “Start new clip” upon broken timeline. Each new clip is coming in a different audio frequency. It will start at 48 khz, then go 47.76 then to 46.67 and so on. This doesn’t make much sense to me, any thoughts? We
ve been at it for a day and a half now with not much luck, except when we import it at 44.1 khz it seems to be fine for some reason, but we don’t want that setting.What are we to do, anything might help??

I have tried so many different things, settings, frequencies, codecs, and nothing is working right. We used an uncompressed format, but it didn’t look good but the audio was in sync. Whenever we use the dv50 we have had audio drifts. I can’t make sense of this, what-so-ever.
We have tried different settings on the deck, we tried it at 44.1 khz, which oddly seemed to work, but that shouldn’t be the case we would never record at 44.1 khz, never. We are now trying it at 5 min. increments, WHAT A PAIN! I will let you know how that goes, but any other suggestions gladly welcomed

Hi Daniel,
There is a setting you can turn off in the User Preferences called Sync Audio to Video if Present. This will change the audio rate if it sees a fluctuation in the signal. I have always turned this off when I capture with Canon cameras because the audio and video fluctuate so much. Try that out and let me know if you audio rate stays constant.
thx

Here is what we did and it seems to have solved the problem for the moment. We turned the timecode break capture setting to warn after capture, which has kept the audio at its level of 48 khz, because before it was spiking around at every timecode break, from 47.69 to 46.98 and so on. This has solved the problem for the moment, thank goodness. WIll keep posted.
Dan
