Difference?: Offset Audio Sync Tool and Audio Frame Offset Value

Here's my Set-Up:
Editing a project shot film, audio recorded to CD. Xfer'd to DVCProHD with audio synced up. Downconverted capture to DV for editing in powerbook.
Computer: 1.67 ghz PowerBook G4 with 1.5 GB RAM
Final Cut Pro Version: 5.0.4
QuickTime: 7.0.4
OSX: 10.4.4
Editing timebase: 29.97 non-drop
My problem:
I have clips that when played in the viewer are fine and in sync. When cut into the timeline some drift out of sync. If I apply the offset Audio Sync Tool at it's default 2 frames to the master clip and cut it back in it goes back to sync - for a while. Matchframe back to master clip and it's OK. Why is the timeline not holding the setting? Corrupt timeline?
When and how is the Audio Frame Offset (default is 4) found in Systme Settings/Playback Control used? Is there a relationship between it and the Offset Audio Sync Tool?
FWIW: tapes were batched captured - I have master clips that are all about 22 minutes long. I subclipped each take and scene for editing. When I use the offset audio sync tool I apply it to the long Master clips. The problematic Subclips don't seem to be affected if I try to apply just to them.
TIA.

Being exported from tower mac, not laptop... we have tried exporting directly from final cut and from quicktime pro... sync is off when played on PCs but seems fine on the mac...we have tried adjusting the frame offset as well... do think it could have anything to do with clicking the box "prepare for internet streaming"
Thanks

    HI,
    What is the difference between Component,Server,Tool and Software?

    Hi
    Every individual part that constitutes in making an SAP System is called a COMPONENT.e.g DB instance, Java CI, ABAP CI etc
    SERVER is the actual composition of different components of SAP.e.g. a database alongwith can instance would constitue an application server.
    TOOLS are the products from different organisations (SAP or Non SAP) that can be used for different functionalities like keeping a check on jobs, monitoring of the system , e.g Tivoli
    SOFTWARES are a kind of tool that help you to bring up results from the system in a user acceptable format. These are utilities that act as interfaces between the user and the system.

  • Difference between 'add text' tools and adding Layers

    I am trying to add text to a .pdf form that has no preset text boxes. I see I can either add text via the tools menu with the 'add text' tool or the fill and sign menu with the 'add text' tool as well. They both seem to behave differently and I have a difficult time selecting, moving or editing text that is close to existing elements with both tools. What is the intended difference between these tools? Also, it would be nice to add a layer to just add my text to without interfering with the existing elements, but I see no way to actually add a layer in Acrobat Pro XI. I know I can do this in Illustrator, but I was looking for a simpler solution that works in Acrobat.
    Thanks!
    Colin

    Hey Kolinized,
    Difference between "add text" tool via the 'tools' pane and "add text" tool via 'fill and sign' pane :-
    * Tools>Content Editing>Add Text :- Selecting this option, we can customize the text as well the rectangular box it will create.We can place the box anywhere on the page.
    * Fill & Sign>Fill & Sign Tools>Add Text :- This option is slightly easier ,however, customizes text only(Typewriter tool in Acrobat X).This tool is preferred to fill up various kinds
    of forms .
    Thanks

  • Difference between alternative calculation type and alternative condition b

    What is the difference between alternative calculation type and alternative condition base value?

    Hi Nitin
    Alternative calculation type:
    Suppose my gross price (PB) is Rs.100 for some metal per kg and I want to calculate surcharge based on todays RBI index of commodity rather than simply giving some 2%. I want to account todays RBI index in determinig Condition value.
    It is possible to do that by little alteration of regular routine.
    Alternate Condition base value:
    I am procuring 5 different variety of pens at different quantities at varying rates from 0 to 25 in a sing le PO. And I get the total header value of 1000. I will get a discount of 10% if the PO value reaches 1000. I have to subsequently pass on the discount of Rs.100 now to all the 5 line items. In general SAP calculates it based on the values of each line item and proportionately distributes. However If i want this discount to be distributed according to the quantity of each pen. You can acheive this with little alteration of Routine.
    Hope this clarifies your doubt.
    If found helpful, Pls reward.

  • Offset Audio Sync Tool...

    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 which is not a surprised since I am editing in a 23.98 timeline with the pulldown removed. 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? Its 2 frames and not 4 frames that I need to select right?

  • Panasonic DVX-100 audio sync tool not showing up in the tools menu

    Using FCP 7 in new Mac Pro with a clean install. I following the directions for copying the DVX-100 audio sync file into the proper folder /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins/
    The directions say the Offset Audio Sync command should now appear in the Tools menu. It does not.
    I have tried trashing preferences - reinstall the Audio Sync Tool - but it still does not show up.
    I use the Panasonic Camera and with my earlier editions of FCP I had no problem installing and using
    the Audio Sync file.
    Anyone have the same problem or know a solution?
    Thanks

    I am not sure what's happening with IE9 (no live site) but I had real problems viewing your code in Live View - until I removed the HTML comment marked below. Basically your site was viewable in Design View but as soon a I hit Live view, it disappeared - much like IE9. See if removing the comment solves your issue.

  • Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and in a clip the audio adjustment only shows a speaker? help

    Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture (in project library) - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and when I select a movie clip and then click on audio adjustments the audio adjustment appears as a speaker icon and I don't know how to get to the various audio options? It was working fine one minute and then I seemed to lose the functionality. Also editing a photo in a photo or getting rid of ken burns effect etc does not seem to work. help

    Can anyone shed any light on this as I am having the same problem? One minute it works fine, the next you get the error message above.
    Many thanks.

  • Syncing video and audio

    I have been syncing video and audio into a sequence and using those sequences in a new master sequence. Is that the right way to do it? Is there a way to have the video and audio in a useable clip? I could not find this information in the manual, but if I missed it can someone refer me to the chapter that covers this topic.
    Thank you

    you can set in and out points for both the video and audio clips in either the viewer or in the browser, then select the two, right click - merge clips (or Modify/Merge Clips if you prefer the menu.)

  • Mov files dropping video and audio frames CC 2014

    I have been experiencing playback issues in Premiere and just got off the phone with Adobe support. It appears that there is known issue with .mov files dropping video and audio frames that will likely be fixed in the next release. My entire project is .mov files and we need to get some serious editing done to complete a rough cut of our film. As a bandaid, we have reverted the playback renderer to software only and I am experimenting with different preview file formats to see if I will have less dropped frames. I want to avoid converting my media from mov files at all costs as this would be very time consuming with over 100 hours of footage.
    Please let me know if you have any other workarounds!

    No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

  • Error Garageband - can't sync midi and audio

    I have no midi attached but still get an error message "Can't sync midi and audio".
    All I am trying to do is record a voice-over using the built in mic on the iMac.  But this error message keeps popping up constantly.  I close it and then 10 seconds later it pops up again.
    Why is garageband trying to sync a mid that I have not connected?

    Hi!
    Enable all audio tracks (R) you wish to record. Then make sure you select the audio instrument you are using on the left of the arrange page (track list). If you here your input, hold shift, then highlight (gray) the mentioned audio tracks you wish to record on. When R is red, and the proper tracks are grey, you can record. Hope that made sense!
