Hi there Jerry…here’s my workflow…

This dance recital was shot by somebody originally on H264 codec. I took his hard drive, and transcoded it to ProRes 244 and edited in that. I noticed that during the dissolve from one cam to another, I was getting dropped frames which is a big problem. The workaround I discovered was to export to Quicktime with no rendering (on the original timeline, everything was fine until I rendered the video, once I did, that’s when the frames being dropped became an issue). So then I take the Quicktime file and toss it into a new timeline and I start getting it ready to export into Compressor when I noticed that the audio was a few frames off…actually about 26 frames off. Then later in the same project the audio was off close to 2.5 minutes…so it keeps on adding to the problem the further in we go.

I have tried exporting to Quicktime, H264, ProRess 422, you name it. Same problem. It seems that right now the only way I can fix this is to physically move the audio so it syncs up with the video, which you can imagine is a major pain. I am sure there’s a solution to this but I have yet to find it. Any help you (or anybody else) can give me would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
