[John Fishback] “Congrats, Walter. You’re a true mensch.”
Hey, I resemble that remark!! But congrats out to WB from ThreeBoys!

Typically 24p SD is shot with some sort of cadence that makes it 29.97 anyway…
So… no, you don’t need any special camera.
But what camera did you (they) use to shoot with?

It makes sense.
But you really want to do this in MOTION. FCP’s garbage mattes aren’t really that useful. They have minimal points, where you can build your own masks in Motion.
Mess around in there and then come back if you still have issues.

I usually use a . but don’t do that in your FINDER… you won’t be able to see it anymore!!

Hey Dave… here is where it WAS…

Seems someone else didn’t want anyone knowing that 64bit FCP was in the wild… oh wait… IS IT????
hee.

Gentle it is!!
Ok… let’s get some of the confusion out of the way first.
If it was 35mm film it wasn’t ‘reverse telecined’ to 24 it WOULD have been 24 fps. UNLESS it was 35mm laid off to tape??
That’s the first question.
What/how did you get the 35mm into FCP? Was it a file? Was it a tape?
Second question…
Pulldown is something that is ADDED TO 24 fps not taken away from 24. So, if indeed everything was 24 fps native (clips and sequence) there should be no pulldown to remove.
OK — so there’s all that.
Now — though it COULD be that everything was ingested wrong and you forced it into a sequence that you shouldn’t have and that might have caused some of the sync issues… but I doubt it. You would have noticed it while you were editing.
UNLESS… and here’s a big leap — unless you were viewing the video on one source and the audio on another. Like, if you were sending the video out via FW to an external monitor but still keeping the audio going thru the computer’s internal system and not sending IT TOO out via FW you’d get a little latency issue that if you weren’t aware of AND you were creating your own audio tracks to match to the video you were seeing… well, once you put them out to a single source (dvd) you’d have sync issues.
But I doubt that’s the answer too.
SO — question 3: Does the sync issue happen from the beginning to the end at the same rate? And can you tell exactly how much? Like 2-3 frames? Or 8-10 frames?
Again, what was the original ingest footage properties?

What are the settings on the sequence? Those must match the easy setup of the capture. Maybe you’re trying to cram 29.97 into a 23.98 sequence??

Ok… what that tells me is that what you have in the viewer at that given time has only one audio track.
Do a test…
Load other clips… or even better yet… load a SEQUENCE that you KNOW has at least two audio tracks and see what happens there.
But without seeing a screenshot of your audio tab I have to take your word that there is a stereo pair… but I’m just not feelin’ it.

Odd.
First thing that comes to mind is maybe you hit an Fkey and number key that turns off your audio patch.
Dbl check to see than indeed you have BOTH audio patches connected where you want the audio to drop on… in… at (gah). Make sense?

Sure…
If the clip is in your timeline, dbl click it to load it to the viewer. Hit the MOTIONS tab and then use your keyframes to SCALE it. Keyframe your CENTER too.
Good luck,
Mike
