Do you have a reference copy of the original program? If so, capture it and cut it in on an upper track.
Now, go to one of your offending clips and find an identifiable frame.
Find the same frame on the source tape.
Use the timecode calculator under the tools menu to calculate the difference betwwen the TC on tape and the TC on the clip. Let’s just say it’s 3:15:02 difference.
Now follow the above advice and modify the clip incrementing or decrementing the clip by that amount.
The beauty here is that assuming they captured the tapes in one fell swoop, you should be able to apply the same offset to every clip from that tape.

I’d be willing to bet you will have a better chance of getting an answer for a DS question here:

Sounds like a size of file issue. The reason to check your drive formatting is that FAT 32 drives can only hold files 4 gigs and under.
Are you positive it is NTFS and not FAT 32 which is also a PC format? If this is a firewire drive with the original formatting it probably is FAT 32.

CTRL + K is the way I work with them. Shrink the buggers as far as they will go.
If you really want to hide them, I believe it’s CTRL + H which hides the selected tracks. To get them back you have to use the little hamburger menu at the bottom left of the timeline and either turn them on one at a time, or turn all tracks on at once. Unfortunately “all tracks on” turns on the film icons which you will want to then turn off.

[grinner hester] “It’s the old Avid user in me that hates the sluggy and buggy new ones. “
Grinner,
I think you know I hated the Adrenaline and said so as loudly as anyone. But the new systems aren’t the Adrenaline! They rock in performance now! As soon as you can, take a test drive, you’ll be happy.

Since you last cut on AVBV, you will remember full screen mode? That’s an option again now. So you don’t even need an external monitor if you want to save bucks.
Next step is to keep an eye on Matrox’s MXO.

Sorry, I couldn’t tell from the original post, and some folks who post here… well….
You will have the same plugins as you have in the Adrenaline, but there is a time shift plugin there. The funny, (or not so funny in this case) thing is that the exact same plugin in ProTools works perfectly. just tweak with it and see if you an get there.

I can only vouch for the 60 version which will get you every bit of the original heavily compressed signal as it is a bit to bit copy. Not sure if 50 is supported or not.

You’re changing the speed of the video and you want to know why you lose sync?
I’m going to answer this as straight-faced as I can, you need to change the speed of the audio to match. This can be achieved with limited success in Avid by using the digi audiosuite plugins. There is a time remapping plugin that can be used but if I remember correctly, you have to do some playing around or advanced math to figure out the appropriate offset.

Drop frame vs non drop would not create a full second difference in the space of a minute. For future reference, drop frame code drops the numbers at the start of each minute except for the even hours and the 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 minute mark.
Are you sure your not rendering out at a slightly different frame rate? Or as Jon suggests, did you move the audio through the chain?
