xdcam 50fps import to fcp sound sync problems

[Rich Tru]

location is EXT HARD DRIVE

tick – new folder
tick – new clip title
tick – in out etc
tick – add index number

tick – write FCP XML
tick – open imported…

on EXT HD i see the folder with a QT (movie runs fine and sync) and XML. when I drag this to FCP – i see the folder only with one clip – drag this into timeline and still the sync is gone and sound almost seems to run too fast with mini cuts in it.??????

Andy,

just viewed in QT after XDCAM sent it to my Ext HD – the qt palyback (.mov) is out of sync too.

Is this happening for all clips from one CF card or for all clips from all CF card copies? How were the CF card copies made? Its possible something got mangled during the data dump if it wasn’t checksum verified. What you’re viewing in XDCAM Transfer is likely just the proxy hence all seems well there … but the actual full res rewrap QT movie rewrap displaying problems. Do you still have the original CF media? If so, can you try importing the media directly from the CF card rather than the copy. And if you have the camera too … can you verify that baseband playback of the original media from the camera is ok?

Hi Rich

Having a scout around the net looking for any info about your issue … am guessing you are using media from a Canon XF305 camera right?
Instead of using XDCAM Transfer for the ingest, maybe it would be worthwhile your using the appropriate FCP Log and Transfer plugin for this specific media.

andy,

the cf footage was fine and in sync on playback through the camera. but as we shot on only 2 cards we had to transfer the footage on HD (by dragging it over) deleting the originals from the CF card and shooting more. as i say its fine in playback in xdcam transfer. there must be another way???

[Andy Mees]

Rich, if its anything like XDCAM HD then what you view in XDCAM Transfer is just a proxy, not the high res media itself (so the proxy can conceivably be fine even if the high res is damaged) … it may be different with the XF305, there may be no proxy as with XDCAM EX. Regarding your workflow …. maaaaan. Don’t “drag copy” thats just madness. You MUST perform a verified data copy as you are dealing with your camera negatives here. If you don’t have the right software for the job then GET IT. Seriously. But I digress … read my previous post, download and install the Canon L&T plugin, try and see if that handles your CF media copies better, hopefully all is well. 🙂

Try the Transfer Tool as stand alone.

I’m using FCP7.

I’ve been given some footage shot on the Canon XF305, copied from the CF card to a hard drive, which was sent to me.

Canon’s Log and transfer plugin will not recognise the clips because the file structure is slightly different I suspect.

Sony XDCam import plays the clips perfectly but when they are imported, the audio is out of sync and unusable.

Does anyone know of a way to restore the file structure so it looks like the original CF card?

I don’t know what else to do so any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Boris J.
