Viewing Preview with tight lip sync
I’m having problems viewing picture and audio in sync. In the trimmer, sync is good and clear. Playing from the timeline, sync floats and pix is soft. I’m using a Dell duo core with 2 gb RAM, but no external audio card. Seems like enough horsepower, but I’m wondering if exteral card like Matrox RTX-100 would let me watch in sync with clear pix. Anyone usiing the RTX 100? Or should I get the full-blown Decklink? I shot HDV, but captured DV. Thanks for any advice in tweaking my system so I’m not always worried about sync drifting.

What preview mode are you set to?
Also, do you have a second computer monitor hooked up? If so, use it with preview out to secondary monitor.Gary Kleiner

If it plays fine from the trimmer, and you have not shifted it on the timeline, you don’t have a problem. For your audio sync adjustment go to: Options–>Preferences–>Preview device. Adjust the sync offset.
As for not clear video; in video preview window (alt=4, click for external monitor and try “best full”.

Set your preview on “Preview-quarter”. It should be in sync but blurry perhaps. If you still have to test your sync on the timeline, do a small region and go to “Tools-Build Dynamic Ram preview” and the region will play as rendered, even if the video resolution is set to higher level.
