Did you cut to music in AE? What was the sample rate of the music? I’m geussing it was 44.1. Avid defaults to 48k. Try changing the Avid audio project setting to 44.1 and reimport the file.

The only thing you can do to get 4 streams of playback is to redigitize at a lower resolution (an ‘m’ resolution). Then decompose your sequence and regigize only the clips you used in the edit.

As far as reducing quality, the idea is to digitize at an ‘m’ resolution. You can’t reduce the quality of a clip that’s already digitized.
Have you grouped your clips? Are you working in multicam mode?

My interpretation of Avid’s definition (based on working with various systems over the years, not any academic knowledge)of synch is any clip containing audio and video, sharing the same TC, tape name, digitize date and time, plus a number of other factors. Relating synch to the time line is a little different – the timeline is very fluid and is’nt necessarliy synched to anything, except itself. And that can be a matter of judgement (maybe your students like the Chinese film overdub method of synch…) Using dual rollers will not affect synch down the line as much as it will affect synch in the immediate area, especially when crossing an audio cut.
To make this clear, you’d probably need to demonstrate left / right side trimming as well. Pulling one side of the clip will definitely affect synch of the whole timeline.
I hope I said what I meant to say, instead of not saying what you hoped I’d say….

I’m not sure I would call this ‘breaking synch’. Maybe just call it an L-cut.
If you perform an L-cut with the same media (say you subclip your shots from a single piece of media), you’ll have ‘out-of-synch’ numbers all over the place, IF you use the audio from the same clip. If you digitize each individual clip, OR you are cutting say a music video, you won’t have ‘out-of-synch’ numbers show up. The audio and the video have to be associated with one another (or digitized together) for Avid to call the audio and video ‘out-of-synch’ with one another.
I hope this helps – post back if it doesn’t!

I would say June. Avid is VERY tight-lipped about release dates.
Although I’ve had great success with Vista (those Mac commercials ARE funny!), I’m not looking forward to upgrading three Avid’s with Vista….

My bet is the problems you are having is because your deck is not on the supported devices list HERE. Do you have access to a different HDV deck?
If you can’t get to this link, let me know and I’ll send you a pdf.

OK, lets start with the basics: What OS are you running? What video card? Have you been able to digitize anything?

Check the sample rate of your project, as well as the media. You could have mismatched sample rates.
