off sync tool

[DVX100Shooter]

Can something like Color Correction throw the sync out? Even though I was editing in 23.98 with footage from the original DVX100, everything has been in sync all through my editing. After I started doing some heavy color correction, I noticed its off by about 2 frames. So now do I have to go back and select each and every audio clip, bring it up in the viewer then apply the 2 frame off sync tool to each clip? If I left my timeline like it is and went ahead and exported to DVD would it still be out of sync in terms of having the pulldown added back when played on a dvd player?

Are you shooting on a DVX100 or DVX100A?

If it's the DVX100, here's an explanation:

Panasonic DVX100 Audio Sync Tool Read Me

If you’re working with media files originally recorded with a Panasonic DVX100 camcorder, you should install and use the DVX100 Audio Sync Tool plug-in, which is available in the Extras folder on your Final Cut Pro installation disc. This plug-in resolves video and audio sync issues that may occur with media files captured from a Panasonic DVX100 camcorder.

Note: The second-generation camera, the Panasonic DVX100A, does not require using the audio sync tool.

To install the DVX100 Audio Sync Tool plug-in:
1 Quit Final Cut Pro.
2 Insert your Final Cut Pro installation disc into your computer's optical drive.
3 In the Finder, copy the DVX100 Audio Sync Tool plug-in from the Extras folder on the installation disc to the following location on the startup volume of your computer:
/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins
4 Open Final Cut Pro.

The Offset Audio Sync command now appears in the Tools menu.

To use the Offset Audio Sync command:
1 In the Browser, select any clips whose source media files were recorded with a Panasonic DVX100 camcorder.
2 Choose Tools > Offset Audio Sync.

The audio tracks of all selected clips are offset two frames later than the clips' video tracks. This puts the video and audio tracks back in sync.

Note: When you modify clips using the Offset Audio Sync command, the corresponding media files are unaffected. Only the clips in your current project are adjusted.

Blaine,

not to be smart but I stated the footage was from the original DVX100 in my post. This is the only camera with the sync issue when shooting in 24PA and editing with pulldown removed out of the family of DVX cameras that I know of. I have already had the Offset Sync installedon my computer. I just couldn't remember how many frames to use to get it back to normal and I was wondering why everything was in sync prior to me color correcting. I have a lot of interviews in my piece. I noticed everything going out of sync when I started color correcting. I applied the 2 frame offset to all the audio clips earlier this morning and its back in sync now. Thanks for the article though.
