I had the same problem and it was driving me MAD. Then I found this…right click on sequence, change speed, turn OFF frame blending. Boom! Wiered shakes gone.

I’ve just stumbled across this god awful problem. Settings all match throughout F.C. and soundbooth…48K, 16 bit , 25fps

I export audio to soundbooth to clean it up and sort out EQ. That seems to work fine, but yep, when I sent it back to final cut i have drifting issues.

About 2 thirds of the way through (a 3 min live recording of a band playing acoustic) it starts going out of synch.
This is a major ball ache as well as quite a let down, as I had big plans to mix films with soundtrack and well, if you can never ‘sweeten’ your audio and send it back to final cut without drifting this is a major problem, for us all!

I did manage to solve this problem, but i overcame it with the obvious method of reducing the speed of the faulty audio clip to 98.89%, giving it that extra bit of length so it matched the duration of the video. The audio and video seem to stay in synch for the whole duration of the 3 min video.

Has anyone solved this problem yet, does this occur in all Final Cut Studio packages?

And EPIC FAIL Apple!

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the response. I found that if I highlight all the clips in a sequence, right click and select ‘fit to scale size’ it seems to sort it out. Also, this setting I’ve found on the Adobe encoder (if you need it give me a shout) seems to sort out that problem anyway.

Bloody hell though, nothings easy in the world of digital filmmaking! (but it’s worth it)

Thanks again Mike,

Tom
