Hi again. I’m not sure I’m conveying what’s happening very well.
I have C300 footage, lav on track 1, boom on track 2. Recorded at 29.97. All is okay, plays each track fine and in sync. Even when transcoded at 29.97.
I Import the clips into Premiere, interpreting them as 23.976, adjust speed for proper 23.976 playback, and everything plays just fine in the timeline, audio is in sync.
I send my timeline to Encoder to export, export settings okay and match my timeline.
Export is complete, open QT file to listen – and the boom track falls out of sync!
If I try to trick Premiere and compensate for this drift, unlink, adjust boom audio speed in timeline, export, it just changes the pitch of the boom track.
I understand the track layouts and they are as I want them.
How could it be possible that they recorded the boom as a different rate have it be attached and part of the raw camera contents and the lav track is just totally fine?
