To be fair, the Basics forum isn’t heavily trafficked.
It’s not sarcasm – I read your post as wanting to know how to sync dailies from a 2 system shoot. That’s 101, at least when I was in college and we still shot film 🙂 Didn’t mean to take a jab

I can’t but notice your new….ah, haircut Jeremy. 🙂

This is filmaking 101… You need to line up all the audio BY HAND to the picture. On each audio cue you’ll hear the take number called out and the sticks SLAP (this data should also been on audio cue sheets). You need to fine the video file that corresponds and match up the audio SLAP with the sticks coming together in video.

Yep. It was the AJA Adobe plugins for CS4. Cleaned ’em out and everything is crispy again.

Right on all accounts. 23.976, Square pixels (not 960×720). Comp matches footage. But it even looks like that in the footage viewer!
I believe the QT engine might be frazzled. In the info panel for different footage, under Millions of Colors, I’m getting things like “apch” for ProRes, “qelr” for animation codec, “912v” for uncompressed, and “62vd” for DVCPRO standard def. Whereas in CS3 it properly reports the codec.
Last time I updated my Kona 3 software I also loaded the AJA Mac Plugins for CS4. But that caused output problems so I uninstalled them. I’ll reinstall After Effects and see if that solves the problem.
Thanks for the help David!

Need to do more thorough testing, but ANY 1280×720 footage @ 23.98fps is having this issue. Just in CS4.

That was my initial thought too – but it’s seeing it correctly as progressive.
the only codec I can export from FCP that’s working is “none.” This project was given to me with a bunch of greenscreen as “none” codec. I’m going to go foward with it like this, but I still don’t understand what’s happening.
UPDATE: it works FINE in CS3 on the same computer. All the codecs.

amen! Maybe we should call this the Final Cut Pro Details Please Forum?
-
What codec?
Are you referencing the EXACT same quicktime source files from a common drive?
it sounds like the infamous QT gamma problem(s) might be culprit

I accidentally grab a sequence and drag it out into it’s own window all the time. A little too quick swiping with my Wacom.
