toast 10

If using FCP 6 and AIC or ProRes I would bypass Toast all together and use the log and transfer in FCP. sounds like you are setting the wrong sample rate in your audio with Toast which could cause sync issues.
 
The reason I am using toast is because the Log and Trans. in FCP is corrupting my files. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Audio in the Log and Transfer slowly goes out of sync there as well. I played with the sample rates and will continue to test.
 
does it go out of sync if you play the file in Quicktime?

how do you have FCP set up to handle your footage?
 
It also is out of sync when opening in Quicktime. I haven't brought the Toast converted files because the audio is off.

In FCP when using the Log and Transfer the audio clips slowly move out of sync in the QT files as well. My sequence in FCP is ProRes 24p (1280x720).

I am running this on a Macbook Pro 2.2 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo.
 
no luck. does anyone have exact settings that work for them? i feel like i'm missing something simple.

Hey AndyMacJax...I had this exact question and matt.s kindly suggested these toast 9 settings for transcoding 720/24:

"AIC 1280X720
Current frame rate
Audio - Linear PCM stereo 48k 16 bit"

hope this helps:thumbup:
 
here's the deal. i am converting in toast using these settings. my audio is still out of sync. the original before converting is synced.

Footage: avchd 720/24p

ProRes 422
1280x720hd
linear pcm 48, 16 bit

I have also tried AIC and got the same thing. As well, I have tried most audio settings.
 
gave those settings a try and it doesn't seem to be any different. thanks for your help. I'm not sure why it's not working...I'm open to more suggestions.

There is a problem with toast 10 and converting AVCHD files.

This is the last response I received from Roxio:

"Thank you for contacting Roxio Technical Support

As stated previously, this is a known issue as far as audio/video sync when using AVCHD files. We are currently researching a solution and ask that you periodically check for software updates. Thank you.

Nothing new, but just wanted to state I'm having the same issues as Andy.

Files are perfectly in sync on cam and playing .MTS files through VLC - after transcoding my audio is (usually always) 9 frames behind, when transcoded within both Toast 9 and Toast 10.

I've tried every setting possible nearly, AIC, ProRes, and DVCPROHD. Going crazy. Don't trust FCP to transcode after getting garble on previous shots.
 
A couple quick ideas: Folks with this problem, have you updated Quicktime? Andy and I both did. I have 7.6 (472). I also installed Toast 10 first, then went to Toast 9. I believe Andy did the same.

What are you guys using for computers, and OS'?

If you are using FCP 6.05, and Toast 10, I think you require a Mac Pro, and at least OS 10.5 to run those apps successfully.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but anything less is asking for problems.
