bah……so you can use the Matrox for monitoring…..you can edit QT files…..why not take the logical step and let people use a Kona card for I/O? Very dissappointing Avid….I thought you guys were getting it, but it seems as though you cannot let yourself let go of control even if it means going down with the ship. FYI, people buy the media composer interface…not your hardware…your hardware is waaaaaaayyyyy overpriced which makes it a hard purchase for a shop that is looking to buy a system when they know they can get the same quality out of another system. I was really hoping this was the year you guys took the right step, but guess not.

Ill try this, what a really really annoying bug….Ive have never had this issue, is this an AJA thing or APPLE? Is anyone aware of this or are to many people saying I dont have this issue and ignore it?

Hey Gary,
Ya, I tried that….didnt fix it. Im usually actually pretty good at figuring these tech issues out…but this one has me stumped due to its randomness.

Im actually on a Kona3 working with Pro Res and the sync is all over. Its a 23.98 Pro Res project. One source of audio from a CD track that has been converted to 48k 24bit. Its in sync, its out…stop…play again back in…then out….total moving target that is maddening to say the least. Nobody seems to know whats going on or how to fix it including AJA.

Hey Mark,
We figured it out…..I was getting wrong information….my playback guy did play a 48k 24bit file on set, which is what the camera recorded as scratch. They sent me the file they used and it all syncs up. I did try exporting the file myself and transcoding to 48k but that didnt fix it. But good news is its better now 🙂
Thks again for all your help! Coming on here and exhausting everything we could come up with made me really go back to the playback guy and thats when it all came together. thks again.

Im not sure to see the frame rate on a R3D file? But when I look at the QT that it creates with the RED files, they are 23.98…not 23.976 or 24fps. I did move the card to another slot yesterday, I cant really tell yet honestly if the sync is random anymore. It doesnt seem to be, now it seems to be a constant drift between my master audio, which was also used as playback and is whats being heard on my camera scratch audio and was a 44.1k 16bit file. The camera was being run at 23.98 fps. when I line these up in the timeline,, there is a drift….and it seems constant now. I swear its driving me nuts cause it was a moving target but now maybe moving the card solved one issue but I was actually dealing with two issues.

There is nothing to mixdown, it is ONE source of audio….that said I did a mixdown and it did not fix the issue. It is something else. The telling sign to me is that if I lay down the scratch audio track from camera with the AIFF master track that Im cutting to and that is being heard in the camera scratch track it should stay in sync throughout however it drifts….isnt this a pulldown thing?
