For anybody else out there that’s trying to sync audio this little tutorial was very helpful, came across it on another thread here.

Cakewalk Sonar, no framerate that I know of, it primarily goes by seconds or bars & beats. Video was captured into FCP as DV video @ 29.97, I think. The timeline is 29.97 NDF. Is it possible that Final Cut captured the video a hair faster than it should have? The audio recording should be second for second what was played live. To my knowledge there is no timecode or framerate when recording audio in Sonar.

Even with time compression it seems to push the earlier sections too far. If I slice each song into smaller pieces I can line up the start & end of the audio, but if I play back the camera left track with the audio right track it sounds like a honky tonk piano. Even with the durations being spot on I can’t move the audio by less than 1 frame, so it’s always a bit out of phase with the original.

So there would potentially be different master tapes for different networks depending on their required specs? That makes sense I suppose. So if a client were planning on sending out many copies of a master tape the burden would be on them to provide the right specs to us. If we knew the networks they were using we could double check the specs with each network.

Thanks for the help guys, I get a lot of on-the-job training but I try to supplement that with my own research. So far this forum has been very helpful.

Right now I can’t get the Kona 3 card to work with CS4. Every time I try to install the AJA Adobe Mac plugins I get a failed install message; it’s trying to create an Adobe CS3 folder… there doesn’t seem to be a way to tell this installer that I’m running CS4.

Looks like I need to go back to CS3 for it to work.

One of our other editors was able to login to the computer remotely and turn them on. It seems there is a button that will toggle the margins on and off, but the drop down menu is still gray. Very strange, but at least it’s working, halfway.

Thanks for the reply!

This is pretty weird. I’m working on another DV project and it won’t play back. I searched google and here I’ve found my very own forum post… This project is not a Blackmagic project. Just a basic DV project. For some reason when I press play the video won’t play back, but the timecode runs and the cursor moves…

It’s pretty frustrating to edit this since I can’t actually ‘watch’ anything.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

It’s Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 on a computer that can normally handle uncompressed video with no issues.

Wow, thanks for the quick replies guys!

So it sounds like this file format stuff is nothing to worry about in terms of my files being the incorrect format.

I’m essentially an apprentice or assistant video editor here. So I’m very much thrown into the fire each time I have to learn something. I was charged with obtaining samples of 1080p material, 1080i and 10-bit SD. So I started examining the format tags for various video files. I’m pretty good at complicating things and it looks like that’s what I was doing here.

Thanks again,
