    Losing sync can happen with long takes. The timing bewteen the camera and audio recorder is almost always different so after a while they drift apart. The way to avoid that is to sync your timecode while shooting to the video camera’s video signal. A Timecode Buddy can do this for you as well as other tc devices. In your case since you’ve already shot, I suggest breaking your tracks apart where the sync goes bad and re-sync. Keep doing that all through the program.
