The system is a clean install. New computer, new OS, new FCP.
The files I was receiving from Technicolor had synced mixdown audio on them already, so I was doing merged clips from a sequence (drag and drop style).
I was syncing the master audio clips to the QTs I got from technicolor in a sequence, linking them together and dragging them into a new bin to create new clips.
NOW I think I found a “FIX”. It’s not the best solution, but it works.
In a new project, if I adjust the WAV audio speed to 99.9% it syncs up perfectly. Somehow, someway, the first 7 days synced fine in fcp6. I must have had one setting somewhere wrong that allowed it to do work although it shouldn’t have.
BUT enough of that, I’m moving forward on the speed change method.
I have read that the batch speed change can be done in compressor, but i didn’t find it to be too easy (and it made me change to aiff).
You know of any good batch audio converters (besides protools)?

First of all, THANK YOU for replying Jerry.
This situation had left me baffled, so I will try to be as clear as possible in explaining where I’m at.
I am editing a feature shot on film, and delivered back to me as 23.98 422 ProRes HQ QuickTimes with the mixdown scratch audio synced to them.
The on-set audio recorder recorded the files “at exactly 30fps as required by telecine”.
We then used a program Wave Agent to convert them to 23.98.
I started the project on FCP 6 and then upgraded to a new computer and FCP 7 after a week (as described in the original post). The project itself “upgraded to the newer version” as well.
This method worked for days 1-7, all the files that we synced then are still in sync in the fcp7 project. Yet, when I try to sync any of the other footage past those days, it won’t sync up.
Also, when I tested the footage from days 1-7 by attempting to resync it, it also did not sync.
When I say did not sync, I mean it DRIFTS.
I hope i covered it well enough, sorry it is so long. Hopefully it’s not too scattered.
