VariCam sync problems in FCP

[Gonzo_s]

We have the same sync problem with the Varicam at 25fps.
Pseudokiwi, do you capture the embedded sound, or do you merge your audio from other media [harddisk/dvd-r/…] ???
We sync our separate audio source with the video footage, so we never were shure it was a timecode, varicam, fcp or blackmagic. But if you have the same problems AND you use the tape-audio, then we kwow it’s not the soundrecorder or timecode.
thanks

Sorry for the late reply – my e-mail is a war zone at the moment and haven’t had time to come back … to answer, we capture the sound off of the tape.

I suspect this may be a blackmagic issue.
