Hey David.

I couldn’t capture the footage from my camera to the mac because it kept saying time code break and it would glitch every couple minutes because of it… Anyways, I uploaded 12 hours worth of footage onto my dell and edited them very basically and saved them in 2-10 minute chunks as windows media files… Then I transferred the files to my mac so I could lay pictures over the video at certain points in time. I can play the wmv’s with the Flip4mac program, I downloaded. Anyways, the wmv’s would open in quicktime and I exported them to quicktime format and then they could be imported into FCP. But the audio was slightly out of sync.
Anyways, I tried your advice, I switched the compression type to DV-Pal and I unchecked the box marked prepare internet stream. And the problem with sync still persists.

Hey David,

The original source was as a windows media file.

I don’t know if this helps -> /Users/willennis/Desktop/the exported to quicktime files/part 1turner 13 miunutes.mov

Anyways, I think that’s what you’re asking.
I’m going to try your Export/options tip now and see if it works.

Hi David,

How exactly do I transcode to an editing format in Quicktime?
I’m very uneducated in this regard.

Hey Don,

Yes, I tried what David recommended but it did not work. Here is the full info on the format of the Qt file.
Format: 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
H.264 Decoder, 640 x 480, Millions

Hey Don,

So I looked at what the format says. Is the 16-bit integer the compressor?
If so, what is the next step?

Thank you again by the way,
I really appreciate the help,
Will

Hi Don,

the codec is h.264 but I’m not certain I understand what an audio compressor is…
Could you explain that to me?
