Hi.
I have a similar issue as well and I didn’t quite “get” how you said to sync. I figured I’d start my quest for answers here before beginning another thread.
I’m a musician. Well, a drummer… and I like to make videos as well. (It’s a career survival technique.)
History: A few years ago I inherited an old hot rod PC with the CS4 suite on it and I began to learn Premiere. Since I’d cut my teeth on a “consumer” NLE it didn’t take too long to make basic band videos for utoob. I’d later gone Mac with a loaded G5 that had FCP8 which is a little easier but the rendering after every fart and burp makes it a bit of a PITA, but I digress.
Now I’m on a MacProIntelSnowLeopard and trying out CS6 and so far it’s a little bit different but not intimidating.
Here’s my problem after such a verbose intro:
First, the “goal” is to create a video using a “flip” cam/sd card and a dvd palmcorder for angles and eventually play four different “roles” at once using greenscreen.
That said, I shot like fifteen minutes of video of me playing drums and recorded the audio independently in my DAW -Sonar 7 in a dedicated W7 Pro 64 Quad Intel homebuild for quality since I have good drum mics.
Now the issue: I open Pr with default settings and load my first clip from the “flip” cam. It says to change the sequence setting for the clip so I do. Then I load my handbrake converted video clip from the palmcorder and it imports smoothly. I delete the cam audio clips and import my recorded audio and go thru the arduous task of nudging my clips to a certain merge point. Upon playback, I see that at the merge point the video and the audio sync but as the playback continues I notice that my drumsticks are passing the audio like the video is running “faster” than the audio. How is that possible?

Aiptek “flip” cam w/ SD media
Panasonic VDR-D105 w/ mini DVD media
Custom Intel Core2 Quad Windows 7 Professional 64-bit machine running Sonar 7 Producer Edition
MacPro1,1 “Quad” w/2X Intel dual core running Premiere Pro CS6 and Logic Pro 9 Studio

If I had a do-over, I’d learn to read.

I tried to be as accurate as possible in describing my problem. It’s simple, really. Anyone can do it if I can.
Set the sequence up for six tracks.
Import five video clips and one audio, a song produced in Logic.
One is a clip of random nothing and the rest are of the subject- one scene, a song, repeated and caught with two cameras.
Place them one at a time to the timeline in tracks v 1-5.
Clip 1, we’ll call it, has no audio b/c I got rid of it immediately for lack of need.
Now sync them one at a time to the song audio placed in track a 1 and “clear” the audio from the camera mic for each corresponding video clip since it’s not needed now.
Now toggle between each video tracks’ visibility to see which section to put where “in sequence”, not “in THE sequence. (I realize the the word sequence refers to the bit I’m working on, but in this instance, I mean literally a sequential placing pieces of these chopped up clips.)
For example, the subject looks at the camera and strums a chord.
Good. Cut that there and move that little piece to the open track.
Repeat until you have each original clip all cut in sections a few seconds long and each individual little piece put together in one long six minute sequence residing in track v six.
Delete everything except Audio One and Video Six.
Export.
That’s a typical workflow for me editing a simple music video. It’d be the same if I’d used one camera and shot it four times at different angles, which I often do. I’ve done this in Magix. I’ve done this in Premiere.
FCP is the only other timeline app I know. And it’s the only one that requires a dang render every time I touch it.
Other’n that, it’s a dang “industry standard” so I have to at least own it in order to work anywhere…

If I had a do-over, I’d learn to read.

So then, if I simply enable and disable the clips I’ve spread over five video tracks to view them and cut them into manageable transition points, I’ll not lose any rendering until I begin to put the pieces of this puzzle into one ‘master’ video track? It’s a simple two camera, two angle, one scene music video.

If I had a do-over, I’d learn to read.

This is only for Comp3. This issue has been going on for like six years now! How stupid is that, Apple?
They have a system to reinstall you can find at the Compressor Repair site and also there’s another ‘fix’ here:

If Compressor Repair and this blog don’t help, you’re in the same boat as I am: The S.S. Google.
Cheers,
