If you try an earlier version you should be able to find one that works with your GPU.
I did.
Resolve worked fine on one computer with a current GPU but not the other. I went back 2 versions and got it working fine. -
Hi Lena
Sorry for your issues.
What software are you using? Premiere, Avid or ?
I see the video is 23.976 and audio 48k. Your sequence settings should be the same as video. Unless it has timecode, the audio has no frame rate. If there’s timecode audio needs to be the exact same framerate as video.
Not 24, but 23.976 aka 23.98. There’s a .1% speed difference between that and 24fps. So audio will drift 6 seconds per hour.
You should be able to sync using Merge clips feature in Premiere.
I had a very similar project that took awhile to sync due to lack of slates, scratch audio, etc. Some cameras don’t have audio as they have to buy a separate piece of hardware. Camera guys sometimes figure not their job and won’t pay for the gear. However if they have audio it is unprofessional not to record scratch tracks, especially if they can’t be bothered to slate or even clap their hands.
There are YouTube videos and Adobe tutorials on this. Here’s one

You can also use Adobe Media Encoder to make ProRes file. In fact any phone footage should be converted to ProRes because most phones us VFR [Variable Frame Rate] rather than Constant [CBR] and edit software works better with CBR.

You can record several seconds of background noise during your record session. In Audition you can use the Noise Reduction tool to sample that area only then use it to apply NR effect.
This won’t eliminate all BG noise but can greatly reduce it.
Also various Effects tools you can try to pick certain frequencies or sounds. Sometimes you have to experiment to get the best effect.

You should be able to create 2048×1229 Premiere sequence. Drop your video into that and resize or reposition as necessary.
Make sure you setup audio for 5.1 in the sequence. You should be able to create discrete channels. Just follow one of the accepted channel orders such as LCRLsRsLfe, LRLsRsCLfe, etc.
Export Quicktime or Avid DnXHR [don’t change anything, keep sequence settings].
Make sure audio has all six channels in the export settings. Been awhile since I’ve done it but that should get you started.
Remember, 1.66 isn’t 1.85 or 1.78, stuff will get cut off. So you have framing decisions to make

I agree with Ty. I use an external lithium battery and have never run out of power, even on long shoots. They’re not expensive and will quickly save you money over alkalines.

You don’t mention what format your files are. I’m guessing H264 if they’re straight from your camera.
Most pro edit programs work better if you transcode to an edit-friendly codec such as ProRes422, Avid DnX, etc.
H264 encoding scheme is GOP [group of pictures] rather than frame by frame. So FCP first has to decode the GOPs to play them. Not necessary with ProRes.
And Apple created ProRes specifically to work with FCP

I just checked SurCode’s site and they still sell it for Premiere.
I suggest checking their support site. Check to make sure they support the current version of Premiere and your license is still active.
I don’t remember DVD video supporting 24 bit.
I don’t know if Adobe’s battle with Dolby over licensing is still going on, but that might be another issue.
Also as everything moves to streaming I see a lot of DVD/Blu-ray support going away.

An uncompressed AVI file would be so huge as to be unplayable.
For YouTube MP4 is sufficient.
Everyone I know only uses uncompressed video for archiving.

The mic would have to have two mics to work.
I’ve seen dual pickup mics and not sure why it’s even necessary. People’s voices come from one location, their mouth.
Stereo comes from the environment, music, etc.
Frankly I don’t see a need for a stereo vocal mic.
