Hi, I'm new to the forum. Nice to meet you all!
I've been working on a tough project lately. It's a two person discussion that I shot in 24p with three, rented DVX100s. The conversation spanned over two tapes, so that's six tapes total that I've ended up with. After all the settings in Final Cut Pro 4 were straightened out, all of them captured in just fine.... Except one. For some reason, whenever I try to capture this one tape, the audio starts to drift. It starts out fine, but by the end of the clip, it's horribly out of sync. I've tried logging and capturing it numerous times, but each time it comes out the same, with the same lagging audio.
Here's the weird part. Once in the finder, I go back and open the clip in quicktime, and it plays perfectly well, with the audio completely in sync. Apparently, the clip only goes out of sync in Final Cut.
Is this a problem with the actual clip, or with the playback in Final Cut? As I said before, I'm capturing entire tapes here, so perhaps it's somehow too much for the system..? (Then again, even with the last tape captured, I've still got 20 GB leeway, so that's doubtful) I'm pretty sure all the settings are right considering it works for everything else. It's only this one clip that gives me problems. It's very confusing...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
