  • Timing Playback in FCP with Red footage

    Posted by Arnold Foote on March 3, 2010 at 1:57 am

    Dear All,

    I am finding that I am losing sound synch during playback of Red footage in FCP.
    The video leaves the audio behind.
    Then, when I stop playback, the stuff is properly aligned.
    I am going NUTS!

    Please help.

    Thanks

    Exactly what kind of ‘red’ footage are you using?

    It would be helpful to tell us about your system. What versions of FCP, QT, Mac OS? What type of drive system?

    Also, what resolution of Red, and how did you bring it into FCP?

    2:1 4K rendered from RedCine. AppleProRez422HQ.

    Is that what you were asking?

    Hi Arnie,

    FCP 7.0.1
    QT7
    OSX 10.6.2
    SAS Raid 8tb (MAXX)
    Kona 3

    Although the audio plays perfectly on time, the video goes faster, and then somewhere near the end of the timeline it seems to magically match back.
    It is frustrating, as I have a project due today and can’t finish it.

    Cheers

    What I’m asking is, what format is the media and what format is your timeline?

  • Arnold Foote

    Well, the footage is QT with the Apple prorez compressor 24P
    the timeline is 24P at the full frame 4K size.

    Fcp and the kina do not support full 4k playback in real time.

    2k, yes. 4k, not so much. Sorry, Arnold.

    You are KIDDING me!
    So all I need to do is bring it down to 2K and that’s it?
    I could hang myself by my nose hair.
    I will let you know how it goes, thanks so much

    If you have a kona3, you can watch realtome 2k on a 1080 monitor.

    Yes.
