A good idea, but no. I do use a BM Ultra Studio to check color on an external monitor, but I don’t send audio to it. My audio leaves Premiere through the 1/8″ headphone jack of the Mac Studio, and goes to a pair of studio monitors. So when I view the exported video outside Premiere, there isn’t a change in audio chain.
When I search the net on this, I find nothing. Only people with massive audio drift caused by mixed/variable sample rates and stuff. What I’m seeing is more subtle…sync off 1-2 frames. Mostly I ignore it and my clients don’t mention it. But when I cut quickly to music, it becomes very apparent to me.
It blows my mind that when I pull the video back into Premiere, the sync is perfect…but it’s off EVERYWHERE else (Mac/Quicktime, PC/WindowsMediaPlayer, Vimeo, iPhone). Is this “normal”, but most people don’t notice it? I doubt it. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
