Is the audio immediately slower than the video or does it start out in sync and just drift eventually over time?

If it’s immediately slow then what Dave has suggested it probably the cause, i.e., the settings are incorrect between 24.0 and 23.976.

If the audio drifts over time, this could be cause by the clocks of the camera and audio recorder were not genlocked. Unless you shoot with an external clock and genlock the equipment, they will drift because the internal clock crystals will not be synchronized. In this case, split the audio every so often and change the speed to get it back in sync.

[tony chen] “I’m currently using the following settings (https://i.imgur.com/HTx0xUx.png) for Bandicam to record in. I recorded 1 hour and it was 56 GB.”

Well, you have Quality set to 100 and you got what you asked for. Try setting the quality to 75 or even 50 and see the difference in file size.

[tony chen] “If I convert to M-JPEG from another format, will I still keep the same quality?”

No, you will loose some quality because you are converting from a lossy format to another lossy format. The questions is, “will your eyes see a difference?”. Try it and see.

Press the Make Movie button and follow the prompts. It will ask you if you want to make a DVD or just a movie for your hard drive. That’s why Sony created Movie Studio. It has Wizards so that you don’t have to know all of the technical details… you just have to know what you want to do.

I agree with Roger. Try rendering small sections. Especially before you hit the 22% point on your timeline. There may be something at that point that is causing the render to stall. If everything renders except that area around 22% then perhaps some media file got corrupt at that point?

[tony chen] “One minute of recording on top of my original video is already 1.8 GB alone, compared to only 500 MB on my original 30 min vid!”

I don’t know what’s going on because 1 minute of MJPEG video with PCM audio should be about 350MB giving you 10.5 GB for 30 minutes or 21 GB per hour.

Have you tried using H.264 or MPEG-4/1 to see how well they edit with Vegas Pro? Those might be alternatives to Xvid.

You could always convert to M-JPEG with AviDemux 2.5 after the fact before editing.

Better to be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt! 😉

Just kidding… we love questions… what else would we do during those long renders?

Indeed, there usually always is. 😀

I haven’t upgraded to El Capitan yet because several of my audio plug-ins were not supported. This has since been fixed but I’ve also read that FCP X has some display glitches. I probably won’t upgrade until a new version of FCP X comes out that fixes any issues. I would stick with Yosemite for now. I can’t list a single reason to upgrade to El Capitan. There simply aren’t any new features compelling me to upgrade so I’m staying with Yosemite for now.

I don’t believe there is a commercial solution to your problem for 2 reasons:

1. Thunderbolt 2 is not fast enough to support a modern external GPU card. Thunderbolt 2 is about as fast as a PCIe 8x slot and modern GPU’s require a PCIe 16 slot bandwidth. You need Thunderbolt 3 which the MacPro6,1 doesn’t have.
2. No external PCIe enclosures have a big enough power supply to support today’s power hungry GPU card.

This is why currently no Thunderbolt 2 PCIe Expansion Chassis list any Graphics cards a being supported and some even say that it will not support a GPU.

Good point. Wayne’s approach will fix it at the event level so you would do this to each event. My way fixes it at the track level so any event placed on that track will be stretched. I kinda like Wayne’s way better if you don’t have a lot of events.
