I’ve had difficuly syncing audio and video when working with large HD comps.. seems that the audio plays on at normal speed, even if the fps on the video lags behind. Causes some real headaches when trying to sync VO and supers.

Skipping 1 frame on the ram preview seemed to solve that problem for me. Can save a lot of time too.

I don’t know if that’s causing your problem, but it’s worth a shot.

Click the clock on top to enable the keyframes. Continue to hold your mouse button, then drag it down to the bottom clock. Voila. For the next point, do the same thing, but instead of clicking the clock.. click the diamond and drag down.

Earlier this week I got a rejection notice from a cable station in LA because a spot HAD bars and tone and a slate. I was reading the wrong set of specs when I formatted it for them and they ONLY wanted the 30 second spot in the file. When I spoke with the Master Controller to ask why it was rejected he said they “tried” cutting it down to 30 seconds, but were unable to.

I’d LOVE to just make a 30 second version for the stations that only want the content and a version with enough pre-program for everyone else – then just let the cable stations deal with it.. but I also don’t want to walk in on 200-some-odd rejection emails Thursday morning.
