hmmm, no, camera shows 48k. channel 1 was recorded with a rhode shotgun mic for crowd sounds and channel 2 was xlr direct to the mixing board for clean music.

i re-re-re-digitized using batch digi and taking it in in 5min or less clips…touch wood, seems like that may provide a work around…

thanks again for your thinking/help on this david. my wife is like, that is so cool that you (from philly area) can get help from someone in LA!

Hey David…well, I trashed the prefs and ran disk permissions. then I blew away any trace of the “nutcracker” project including all media, etc. redigitized the first 50 mins of the program. panasonic dvx100b ntsc 48k, using “capture now”. there is a point around 13 mins into the show where someone on stage slams a wooden box closed, i’ve been using this as a “clapper” to determine if audio and pic are in sync. during digi, the guy slams the box closed and the audio matches (so, sync if fine on original tape). however, after i digi this first tape, i opened it up in fcp (6.06), scrubbed to @ 13 mins in, and there is the sync issue again. you hear the wooden box “clap” then just over 1 second later you see the guy slam the box shut. so, i’m still out of sync!

I’m on a zero budget, so, trying to avoid upgrade to fcp7. especially since i have no way of knowing for sure if fcp 7 will correct the sync issue…

at a loss…

Thanks David …I’ll try this when I get home. Is fcp 7 worth $299!?

[Mike Miller]

Thanks David…can I ask you how I go about trashing my prefs and permissions ? I’ll try that first. If that doesn’t solve it it sounds like my next option is upgrading to fcp 7…I will also see if I have the driver for the external drive installed ….not with my laptop right now.

It’s folks like you that make creative cow so amazing.
Thanks

wow, i haven’t had this deck for a year! maybe only a few hours use on it too. i called panasonic, an engineer is supposed to call back soon.

thanks.

[Mike Miller]

ahhh, interesting. i guess i’ll send it out for a thorough checking. thanks again for taking the time! i checked out some of your stuff, very nice! my sister and brother in law moved down to charlotte a few years ago (from up here in the philly area), great town.

are you just editorial, or, do you handle the shooting as well out of your shop? can’t hurt for me to gather a bit of info, one of my clients is bcbs of north carolina!

i’m the director of broadcast production at an agency just outside philadelphia…

thanks again joe!

here’s what’s happening…(there should be no green on the screen)…

[Mike Miller]

hey joe…

playback of known good tapes colors look out of whack…

blues going to green and looking all “overly chroma-ed” i have a screen cap, i just have to read how to post it here!…

[Mike Miller]

great point joe! i didn’t know that re the TSB. i’m not sure which board is in question, i talked to a sony tech rep over the phone, described what i was seeing and he guessed it was most likely a bad board. in his estimate, he put in 3 different boards that might be causing the problem, not having seen the deck in person. the boards range from $1,100 to $4,200! my deck is idle, or turned off way more than it is used, so, that further supports the possibility of the brushes you speak of…hmmm?

i think my next step will be to box it up, ship it to sony, pay $135 for a beanch check to get an ACTUAL diagnosis on what is wrong in order to make an informed decision.

thanks again joe (and everyone!) for you responses!
very appreciated…
