Your solution seems like more work than mine. Either way, it’s annoying and time-consuming. Have you checked the Apple forums yet?

It’s funny that you bring this up right now because I am having a similar issue.

I shot in 24PA on the DVX and captured in FCP 6 using 2:3:3:2 pulldown. However, when I dropped the file in the timeline the video and audio did not sync. I simply thought the audio and video were out of sync until I noticed that the person being interviewed was moving at a fast rate. The audio sounded fine and was not out of sync with the image, the image was moving too fast. Of course, it all works perfectly okay when played in Quicktime. I tried all the varying FCP sequence settings and still no luck.

One frustrating aspect of all this is that I recaptured a short two minute segment of the video and it all synced up just fine in FCP, but after three capture attempts on the entire video I was met with the same issue of it being synced in QT but not in FCP. I noticed that when I looked at the video properties in QT that the frame rates for the videos that don’t sync are LESS than 23.98 FPS, but the short video clip FPS is okay at 23.98 FPS.

Based on this information, I exported one of the unsynced videos in QT to 23.98 FPS thinking this would solve the problem. NOPE!

Then, I exported it AGAIN in QT to 29.97 FPS and now it works fine is FCP using the standard 29.97 DV sequence preset. However, I consider this a temporary fix. I really don’t want to have to go through the extra step in exporting the captured footage in QT.

So, if there is anyone out there with a solution that doesn’t involve this extra step, I’m all ears.
