Timecode synch Premiere Pro

[Bouke Vahl]

Finish in Avid?

Now, is the offset always the same? If so, if the video is Quicktime, QTchange can do the trick.
Or you could use BWFtoolbox to offset all sound files.
Or, if the drift is always different, use Autosequence, then manually check each clip and trim.
All can be found on my site.

But if the drift is always different and increasing, are you sure it’s not a setup problem?

Thank you for your answer!
Unfortunately I have to finish the project in premiere.
Quicktime change sounds good but I am working with proxies and I am afraid this could lead to problems in the finishing steps.
I would like to synch all audio and video and afterwards check the subclips if they are synchronous. If certain subclips are not synchronous I would like to find a way to easily synch them.

[Fred Feuerstein] “but I am working with proxies and I am afraid this could lead to problems in the finishing steps.”

Not sure if that is indeed a problem, since I think Premiere looks at the start offset in clips.
But it needs to be fully tested, and even then it’s indeed scary as hell.
(Especially if there are updates…)

But why not give the offset to the BWF files then? BWF toolbox can do that, no probs to make a backup of your sound files I would think.

LTC convert would give you the option to subclip with an offset, but that seems way overpowered.

How high are your TC numbers? (If they are low, say under 01:30:00:00), a small offset could be due to wrong interpretation of the speed. (It will get bigger on higher numbers.)
Also, it could be a wrong sampling rate (intentionally set to force a speed change, like in the old days shooting 23.976 to finish in 24, or vice versa.)
