FCP 24 AND 30 FPS Audio Bug

[Noiz2]

This is a link to a thread I started in the audio section. If you use the Mk II and FCP then you need to read this. FCP has a serious issue with 30 FPS timelines and that is the only frame rate that the Mk II shoots at.

Creating a new FCPro preset solves this problem.

Philip Bloom actually doesn't seem to deal with the issue much, but I probably missed something. What is missing from his set up tutorial and what isn't "easy" is that you need to do a few things BEFORE you start or your hosed in audio post. A lot of folks aren't really doing audio post just tossing stuff in FCP and as long as that is your workflow it really isn't a big deal since the drift is so small. BUT if your on a longer project or are going to do audio post it is VERY important that you take steps before you start cutting.

Matt's link is much more on point to the problem and looks like a third solution.
