What kind of master file are you encoding (what codec)? Is it in sync all the way through?

No need to copy the track unless you need more gain. Copying the track won’t make stereo (BTW,never a good idea using stereo for dialogue) just dual mono. If you do copy, keep both tracks panned center rather than one left and one right.

FilnicPro is a paid iPhone app. As mentioned you have a lot of control over the video and the output is excellent.

Could be pixel ratio is off on one side – .9 vs square pixels.

Another factor is any 24/25fps pan that is too fast will judder. The American Cinematographer Manual has a chart for a 90 degree pan relating lens focal length, fps and panning speed. For instance, 24fps, 50mm should take 23 seconds for a 90 degree pan.

Performance is more important than matching mouth flaps. But, checkout RevoicePro as an excellent tool for ADR.

I use SanDisk CFast2 cards in our URSA for their reliability. Over the years I’ve always used SanDisk products.

Thanks for the link. It’s an interesting device. My only concern is whether it generates sync along with timecode. I couldn’t find that info on their site. Just syncing code doesn’t ensure tracks don’t drift. Only syncing timecode while gen-locking all cameras at the same time guarantees hard lock. Timecode Buddy and similar devices do just that. They output both code and ref sync and all is good in sync land.

Slight differences in noise levels between 2 clips can cause a click at edit points. If you apply a 2 to 4 frame audio fade the click will go away. Some DAWs force an edit at “zero crossing” points. That’s the point in the file where the audio waveform crosses zero. Edit there and no click. I don’t know of any NLE that does that automatically. But, applying a fade smooths the transitional gain so no click.
