I am sorry I wasn’t clear. Its not synced because it was never meant to be synced. All of the video is MOS. The sync I was referring to is narration in my fcp project that is lined up. When I export to aif, mix in protools, and reimport, it drifts out of sync.

Anyway…

I conformed the video in cinema tools and am converting to Apple ProRes in compressor right now and then going to use a 29.97 sequence in fcp. Fingers crossed. Thanks for your help!

No, the footage is definitely not synced footage shot on the 5D.

So, I should export the 30fps clips, use compressor to conform them to 29.97, and then reinput into fcp?

Is twixtor better than compressor or is it the same? I’ve never used it.

Does it matter what settings I use for the sequence fcp as long as it is 29.97?

Thanks again. I’ll do anything at this point to fix this!

If I understand this correctly, I should include the audio and the video when I set up the new AE comp. Or should I do this with just the video? At this point the audio has been mixed in protools so I could cut it up to match it to the pieces that go with the video, but I think it makes sense to conform the video only.

Am I right?

Thanks a million.
