To be clear again…..there is no different sources of audio, it is a music video……I have scratch tracks on the camera from a playback AIFF file that was played on set for the band to lip sync to. I am cutting the picture to the same audio AIFF track that was played on set. A mixdown will not help as there is ONE source of audio in my timeline, the master AIFF that was played on set and that is also heard as a scratch track by the cameras. That said I tried a mixdown and it didnt fix it.
If i lay down the scratch camera audio on the timeline and sync it with the AIFF master that was played to the band and heard in the camera scratch track, it drifts slowly throughout the song and by the end is out of sync.

Hi Gary,
So I did what you said and exported the audio file at 24bit 48k and brought it back in…..still out of sync AND if I lay that MASTER audio down that I will be cutting to, with my camera scratch track it drifts, also I tried turning off all RT to safe and changed my timelinesettings to 24bit 48k…. it didnt fix it. Here is something that has been brought to my attention today. The audio playback that was used for the band to lip sync to was a 44.1k file 16bit. We ran that camera at 23.98fps. Is there no way that this is the issue? And just to be clear I do appreciate your help.

Hey Mark,
This to me makes more sense than Gary’s 24bit statement. He is saying that my setting are screwed up and I should be using 24bit audio? Im not sure I understand this. Like I said the sync issue is random and fixes itself when I stop and replay the same section, I will call AJA and see if they can help me, thks for the response.

So your mad that I asked if anyone has run into something similar? Maybe you need to take a deep breathe.
I have always used 48k 16bit audio….not sure Ive ever used 24bit audio….your telling me you always use 24bit audio on your video projects? I have not.

HEy Gary,
Whats with all the hostility???? The timeline WAS originally set to 24bit 48k and it was drifting all over the place. Why would gaps in the timeline create a drift randomly that is there one minute and then if I play the same spot again its in sync? I will trying mixing down my the AIFF file to 24bit as you say and see if that makes a difference. This is a new workflow for me, so you might cut me a little slack…or not.

Sorry, I thought I did. The audio is a track NOT from camera, it is an AIFF that is 48k 16bit audio. This is a music video. We shot the RED cams at 4k 23.98…the track was used as playback. I used REDRUSHES to transcode the R3D files to ProRes 422 HQ 23.98 1080×1920.
Now, this is a random thing. Sometimes its out, Ill stop it play again and then it will go back in sync at the same spot that was just out….so Im not sure how it could be some drift due to frame rate/ audio sample rate even though thats the only thing I can think of unless its something with the Kona..I dont know.
THks,

Hoping someone else could chime in here, Ive been reading that others have had this issue as well, but those were dated back in 08 soooo….not really current info that I can find. I did notice that my timeline settings were set to 24bit I think, I changed that to 16bit as the track is an AIFF not camera audio. Its a music video.

Online would be done in FCP. However color I would take to a “real” colorist. There is a specific look I am going for with color. The “fight” footage would be HD video, that I think I will ask for in PRO RES HQ. Again not ever worked with the RED workflow, I need to still figure out the offline/online workflow for this project mixing these formats in my timeline.
Thks again for everyones help.

Thks for the responses everyone. I will be delivering on HD yes, however I want to do some compositing and an outside color pass by a davinci on the final before dumping to tape. To me it sounds like Pro Res HQ is the way to go with the “fight” footage.
