How about REEL, TC Rate and Vid rate (Conform) changes from the command line for a start?

Wow. First reply and it’s from Mr. Sharpe, what more could I ask for? Thanks.

I’ve tried both syncing the same files in Premiere CS5 and a QT7-> AIFF export as you suggested on Soundtrack Pro and the results seem conclusive. There’s a delay of 1.5-2 frames in 5 minutes, so a correction around a 100.02% speed is needed. It doesn’t sound like much, but on 8 min clips it becomes really noticeable.

I was aware of FCP’s sequence settings woes from the beginning and had set it up right before the project start. I was only messing around with alternatives in panic. So I’m back to talking to my audio guy again.

Anyways, does anyone know what was up with that GUI glitch? The audio waveform was drawn in the right place only in the last two zoom levels. Talk about a “Pro” app.

I’ve read other threads where people correct those errors with Compressor… I guess that’ll be faster than Pro Tools, but will it lose much quality comparatively? Any recommendations?
Will my correction be constant among all clips, or will each clip need a different amount of correction? That’d really throw a wrench into my workflow right now…

Anyways, thanks to all answers.

Did you really fix this by going back to version 6?
I have this same problem https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/8/1141173 but I don’t think a downgrade to fcp 6 is feasible for me …

I understand this will surely be too late, but there’s an easy way to do that correction and “re-merge”.
If you already have your clips in the timeline, select the first one and hit CMD+L to unlink audio and video. The clip names will lose their underline on the timeline. Now correct your audio position, maybe even with subframe precision, select your video and audio tracks again, hit CMD+L and the clip names will be underlined (linked) again. Now drag&drop that clip onto the browser, maybe into a new bin, and voila, you have new re-synced clips. Repeat with each subsequent clip.

In fact this is the normal workflow that I’m using because I prefer the precision and workflow over the “merge clips” approach.
