I feel your pain. Thanks soooo much for the post regarding embedding the audio in a video.

I am editing a feature @ true 24 / 48hz 24bit and ran into this same problem, just at 24fps.

In fact – If I export/AIFF mixdown out of FCP and re-import that exact file back into the sequence, it is out of sync and the file is short.
It does not matter the method used to get out audio only, export AIFF, QT conv etc, it always reimports with drift.

The only way to get matching is to export a QT with audio or OMF.

When reimporting a mix/sound design session from Cubase/PT/Logic without replacing the audio the reference video, guess what… out of sync.

All parameters set to true 24FPS with audio @ 48/24. All Audio matches in sync in every program upon import EXCEPT FCP 6.3 when imported.

Be it confusion about frame rates, timecodes, magical internal working gnomes… I find it odd that all other programs are in sync.

This problem is extremely annoying. FCP cant seem to output a simple 8 track mixdown to stereo and reimport in sync?

Of course the plugin in the same price as the entire program bundle from Apple…
