Thank you Phil, that’s great advice and will help me save time and hard drives!

I’ve synced with a clapper and then it eventually goes out of sync. It’s a very strange occurrence,particularly as the audio goes so drastically out of sync. Usually pushing up a couple of frames would fix it without any noticeable repercussions. I’ve resorted to slowing down the audio, splicing up the dialogue and moving it to a point where it will look/sound passable. I can then fill the spaces with wildtrack. To be honest everything sounded a bit high pitched when I listened to the original WAV files.

Thankfully the scenes with dialogue are short and the rest will have music over it! I’ll do a test again with the 7D and the Xoom H4n to figure out the possible problem. As soon as I have results I’ll post them up.

“ProRes 4444 is a total waste with 7D footage. Your quality won’t improve after ProRes SQ our files will just get big and sluggish.”

Hi Phil,

Unfortunatly converting to 48Khz AIFF did not work, even though it matches the sequence setting,

After I log and transfer into FCP these are the files I end up with and yes you are right. The files that end up in capture scratch are HUGE.
What settings do you recommend? Can you log and capture the Canon footage to a better format?

Thanks Rafael, I’ll try your method also.
