That was an awesome tip. You have a new blog follower my friend.

Just what is it that I don’t get?

I have found that if in my Final Cut Pro sequence I appy a speed conversion (ie SLOW down the video to 59.99988%. I got this by taking 49.95 fps and dividing by 1.6667 to make the video 29.97) then the audio and the video match up when I do to export movie.
There is definite frame conversion artifacts for the output Quicktime, but they sync up so I am STILL anxious to have someone a better way of doing this. Plus I need future captures to be clean.
If someone has any suggestions for setting up DeckLink Studio with FCP 7.03 so this problem won’t occur please let me know. Thanks,
Ryun

I brought a clip into Cinema Tools and conformed it to 29.97. The footage remained out of sync with the audio, but both the audio and video were sped up by the same increment.
So I then took the new video clip which was 29.97 and brought it back into Final Cut. In Final Cut I multiplied the audio speed by 1.67 (49.95 fps divided by 29.97 fps = 1.6666666666) and it synced back up with the 29.97 video. However, these conversions resulted in quality loss in the video and an increased noise floor in the audio.
Any further thoughts or other suggestions would sure be appreciated.

Thanks Debe. Wish I had known this earlier. Recommend any FW cards. Are they called PCI cards with firewire ports?

For future situations like this, you can also copy and paste all of the clips into a new sequence. It’s worked for me.

Why don’t you just use a 8.5 gig DVD? Compusa has a 3 pack for around $15.

Jeremy,
I am monitoring audio through headphones directly in the GL-1 I’m using and through professional audio monitors that go out from the camera’s A/V cord. I don’t have this problem when I render or mix down audio. It’s a timeline thing only as far as I can tell.

HEY James,
What preferences did you trash and where might they be? I am having the same problem!

I’ve been working all day, and have found at least one connection. I recorded some voiceovers straight to computer and then applied a multiband compressor. THIS is where the distortion seems to be coming from. I’ll play the VO, either in the viewer or on the timeline, and then get my ears blasted by this noisy distortion, or I may not. Usually, if it happens, all I need to do is push play again, sometimes twice before the proper multiband effect does its thing and the superloud noise is gone (for awhile anyway).
So not having noticed it any other time, perhaps its just related to this one effect (I have been using it throughout the film on voiceovers).
Thanks for your thoughts, and if anyone else knows anything about audio effects going haywire let me know your possible solution(s).
Jeremy – the tapes are fine, I logged them completely outside of FCP on a stand alone DVD player. I’ve also checked them outside of the system on Premiere Pro.
