Thanks Fred. I will give that a whirl!

Thanks for the help Walter!

Got it working. Not 100% sure what the solution was. But here is what I did.

1. Updated Deckllnk drivers to 6.6.2 (which specifically mentioned issues with FCS2 and Digital Betacam).
2. Cleaned out the array (I got a bit lazy and it was filling up).
3. Used a second digital betacam as a reference for both the FCP and the Digi Recorder.

It seemed to then playback perfectly.

Thanks again for responding.

We are not using a sync pulse generator. Used one when on the digibeta when it was in a whole machine room. But have never had one connected to FCP and never had issues before updates.

Using a Decklink Pro.

To add to this.

When the audio was importing incorrectly. The waveform the FCP generated was completely incorrect. It was several seconds out (and it just so happened I was doing these adjustments from a firewire drive that couln’t get playback so I was actually lining up using the waveform….ahhrrgg).

So I think it is definalty a bug and not just user error…which wouldn’t have suprised me…as I do those kind of things all the time.

I might have just had the issue you speak of but slightly different. Took me friggin ages to figue it out, and I am still not exactly sure what did it.

Basically to fix it:
I made sure that every single setting in the easy setup (or audio video settings) match my time line exactly (codec, frame rate, frame size). It didn’t seem to work if I just set most of the setting only. Then I removed ALL audio from the project (both bin and timeline).

Then completely exited FCP and restarted it.

Imported the audio into the bin again (and it was a completely different duration) I did the calculation and it didn’t seem to have change by anything that made sense (it was more than 23.98 to 24 less the 24 to 25….who knows?!?).

I find it soooo hard to believe this error isn’t reported every day (well I guess it has taken me over 4 years to find it.

Not sure if this helps but see if you have any luck. I would be interested to know.

Let us hope this issue is fixed in 6!!!

Sorry. Should learn to preview first.

Yeah I did. I just saw this forum looked much busier, that more people would see it.

Will keep hoping someone has some answers.

Thanks,
Alex.

Thanks for the reply the other thread was helpful. Just didn’t search far enough it would seem.

As I have not ever used pro tools I would guess it may be a FCP issue.

Thanks again!
