Were you shooting film? Or HD at 24 or 30fps? (as opposed to 23.98 or 29.97) If so then yea, you’ll probably have to do a pull down. Not sure how to do that with Final Cut. It’s been a long time since I’ve done double system.

If you’re shooting video then your problem is something else. When you say it’s “getting off over time,” how much time are you talking about, a minute? An hour? By how much?

You can also move your audio keyframes sub-frame if you zoom in far enough in the timeline.

It shouldn’t lose sync if you convert the audio to 48 kHz as Dave suggests. Actually it shouldn’t lose sync if you load a 44.1 file and render the audio, but FCP may be doing some funky math in the background on import, I don’t know. Best to convert to 48 kHz first.

Your mouse may not be getting enough power. If you’re using a USB hub make sure it’s a powered hub. I had a similar problem with my keyboard when I first switched from a G4 to a G5 and a powered hub fixed it for me.

Thanks Shane, but I don’t want to sync the auido. I just want to turn off the indicators so I can see the waveforms better in the timeline.

You were probably clipping the circuits in the radio receiver. When you are using a radio mic you need to check levels at the transmitter, the receiver, and the camera. All three have to be correct. You still should have heard the problem in the headphones though.

We’re not watching Apple or Avid going out of business. We’re watching NAB go out of business.

As the digital revolution starts effecting the largest media corporations, the heavy iron centric NAB show is becoming less and less important. It’s sad but inevitable. I think more and more companies will be pulling out of NAB over the next few years and other shows like the New Media Expo that concentrate less on equipment and more on future technologies and distribution will become bigger.

[Dennis Dean] “Just output a 24fps/720p QuickTime?”

That’s pretty much it. An H.264 quicktime will look the best. Then throw the file into iTunes and sync with the AppleTV. The video specs are on this page:

https://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html

If you use compressor it’s really, really easy because there are AppleTV presets.

[Glenn Grant] “Have you tried the Apple TV option? I have been thinking that would be a nice options, but I am wondering how the picture quality would hold up?”

AppleTV will play up to 720p at 24fps. It looks great.

That’s an interesting idea using it for a presentation. I’ve got to remember that one.

Double check your framerate everywhere, on the tape, outputting from the J-H3, and in your project. Make sure they are EXACTLY the same. Make sure the timecode on the tape label is actually the same on the tape too. It’s easy to have a mis-match somewhere. I’ve done this before and it’s quite mysterious when it happens.
