Can you be a bit more specific? Is the audio out pf phase with another channel? Is it delayed relative to another channel or the video? Are you hearing the wireless audio mixed with audio from a microphone mounted on the camera? A few more details will help.

If it’s just a static graphic, just use 1080i. It will look fine.

Got it!
Premiere Pro (v5.5 no less) can open the files and play them without issue-so far.
Since this is a very simple project, I’m just going to edit in Premiere and export to ProRes at the end. Took a little tinkering to get the sequence settings and the Export settings dialed in, but the exported ProRes files work fine.
Might be time to put FCP7 out to pasture? I’ll try them in FCPX and Resolve tomorrow as well.

So far I’ve tried Compressor (won’t generally accept the files. It actually did once but crashed during the conversion) MPeg Streamclip-plays the files but won’t export them-gives error message. I tried to export directly from Quicktime Pro 7. It seemed to work but when when I dragged the clips to the timeline (FCP7) the audio was fine but the clips played at 1/3 speed-Properties showed the clips as 10 FPS.
iSkysoft Video Converter-goes through the motions but doesn’t actually create any files. Voltiac and Movavi Video Converter-No go.
I’m going to try FCPX, Premiere and Resolve tomorrow. I have those loaded on my Macbook Pro. I’ll copy one of the clips from here and try it there.
Haven’t tried Edit Ready, but I’d buy it instantly if I knew it could re-wrap and open these demon files.
Finally got the word late today they were shot on a Google Pixel camera at 30fps 1080p. Not sure if the progressive part is an issue…
Both versions of my Quicktime (QT7, QTX) will play the files more or less OK. QT7 stutters on playback, QTX is fairly smooth. Files are playing back from a eSATA raid so the disk performance shouldn’t be the issue.
My trusty MacPro is pretty old (3,1 Quad core) still running Snow Leopard to preserve the functionality of my legacy FCP7.
My MacbookPro is a quad i7 running sierra. Maybe it will handle the files better.Remember the old days when a client would just hand you a pile of Beta or Digibeta tapes and you were off and running? Sigh…

I’ve had good luck with the iRig Pre..It lets you use any professional mic, dynamic or phantom powered. Using with an iPhone 5 and Rode software for recording separate files. Cheap too!

You might want to check out the new Black Magic Design ATEM Television Studio HD. It will run by itself or run off of a laptop interface. Pretty nice features for not a lot of $$$. Very portable and easy to set up as well.

Change the speed to a faster rate?

It should work without issues. It maxes out resolution at 1080 for display but I assume your camera downconverts the outputs through the HDMI connector. It will accept just about any power source. The battery mount shown is a standard V-Mount normally used on Sony cameras. I’m sure that it can be purchased with a Anton Bauer type side mount as well. Otherwise,, it accepts a standard 4-pin supply, available for $25-$30, or a standard co-axial power input. For mounting, just bolt it to a C-Stand and you’re ready to go. There should also be MANY choices out there for a carrying case. Check Porta Brace products. A larger computer bag would even work.
