the original Pro Tools audio is 24-bit 48k..being bounced as 16-bit 48k AIFF to match my camera audio and sequence settings.

what did you do to get the issue resolved?

with all due respect, i think you might be confused on what’s happening here.

i’m dealing with 2 separate audio sources: camera audio, which stays in sync with picture, and audio from a Pro Tools multitrack session which was recorded during the actual shoot (the shoot was at a recording studio) . there aren’t any OMF’s being dealt with here.

my audio guy is bouncing the original session audio(boom on ch1, lav on ch2) out of Pro Tools, giving me 16-bit, 48kHz aiff files.

When I import the Pro Tools session audio back into FCP and sync up to the camera audio using a slate clap, the audio drifts. Starts out fine and in sync, but over several minutes it drifts. The fit to fill workaround works OK for editing in FCP, but ultimately this show will go back to Pro Tools after I’ve edited picture, and we want to match back to the original audio.

We’re still trying to figure out why this is happening, and what to do to make sure it never happens again.

thanks for your help.

Did the fit to fill–it comes in at 100.09%. Basically the opposite of 99.91%. The real issue is, however, that once I’ve finished cutting in FCP all audio will have to go back to Pro Tools for a final sweeten. My audio guy is going to time stretch the entire recording in a new session to 100.09%, give me that audio, then he’ll have to macth back to that. A serious thrash, but it might work. Any other ideas?
