Sync Issue on Roundtrip from FCP to Waveform editor?

I sent a section to soundtrack pro from the timeline, upon going back to FCP after the changes (just normalization, the audio track is now out of snc with the video. Anyone else having this problem? Any work arounds? Anyone want to buy my macbook pro and Final Cut Studio 2? I'm beginning to think switching to apple was a huge mistake.

It's the way that the original file was brought into FCP. STP sees it in it's original form. It's not a bug, it really is a feature. You can select which channel you want playing in your track in STP. If there are two tracks that you want to deal with separately simply copy it into another STP track and turn on only one of the channels in each. They'll live nicely right next to each other.
As a feature it's very nice--you can switch tracks, eliminate or add more than one channel after the fact. All too often someone hands me a FCP timeline in which they've selected a camera mic instead of a close mic. Piece of cake to switch it around. And I get plenty of tracks that were brought in as 16 or 24. I can pick the one of many, or turn them all on. It's about that level of flexibility and control.

Sound file becomes stretched upon roundtrip from FCP

I don't know soundtrack very well, but I am trying to clean up and audio track. When I try to send it to soundtrack, the file becomes time stretched and the pitch is also lower. this has happened a few times and that is why I haven't bothered to learn soundtrack, but I need to do this by the end of the weekend.
I have soundtrack 1 from FCP 5 studio.

Check the timecode rate and sync options in Protools. It sounds like a timecode or samplerate mismatch.
Especially note that 23.976fps OMFs from FCP (probably STP as well) show up in Protools as 24fps sessions. Change the PTs timecode to 23.976 to realign.

Email Sync Issues - No Delete From Server Option

In setting up a POP3 account - using Comcast email, the email account does get created and you can send and receive email. The issues is when deleting, it will not delete from the server. In the options it has delete 1 week and older but no option to delete from the server. So there is no real sync here. Anyone seeing the same issue, any apps to fix?

Lots of people use K-9 in place of the stock email app.
I don't use K-9 because I have separate folders and K-9 doesn't allow me to move emails between folders using pop3.
If you don't have any extra folders or need to move emails around, K-9 might be for you.
It will delete emails from the server.
You could also look into maildroid. I don't use it because it doesn't sort the emails.

Roundtripping from FCP

I became an ACT last year and am working for a centre running FCP level1 courses. The centre have a client who wants to do a one day one on one course on how to integrate between Shake, Motion and FCP. I Round trip all the time within FCS but have little experience with Shake. Do i turn down the job on the grounds i'm not familiar with the program, or take it on the assumption that Shake works like any other FCS app?
Either way, i think it's only correct to inform the centre i'm not a Shake specialist, but not sure whether my round tripping skills in FCS extend to this particular job.
Any thoughts?
Dom

Hey Jon -- been a while since I've done this myself and I've never actually RELIED on Shake actually doing it correctly - so I've always check it myself:
Does anything need to be adjusted in the file out node? Are we sure it selects the correct render option? Like I said, I always dbl checked it but can't remember if I actually changed anything.
That said --
OP... not sure just the quick send and return would constitute a full day of training. You might want to bone up on a few helpful nodes that you can use Shake for. Just to show what happens to the video when it comes back.
I did a series of tutorials (I call them that loosely!!!) called Shake is Money. Was planning on doing more, but well - I lost interest and the time.
http://leaders.creativecow.net/leaders/mench_michael/
They cover the workflow in shake and some of the porting issues. The first one is the bottom one and then move your way up... I never really scripted out the task analysis, but each one kind of builds on what you 'know' from the ones before it.
I did get a nice letter from the Shake team at Apple for them... but I still don't think they are the greatest things in the world.
Anyway - enough disclaimer... check them out - might help you decide.

Roundtripping from FCP to Motion back to FCP

I need to change a dip to black I created in FCP (using opacity) but I've already sent the sequence to motion!! How can I change make edits now with the motion file in the timeline?

Also, if you did it with opacity, the clip in Motion will reflect that, so you can right/ctrl-click on the Motion clip, select Open in Editor and adjust within Motion.

Whats the best way to import video clips from FCP into a personal template

Hey all, I'm doing some tests. I see some color shifting going on when I export out of FCP using QT conversion (same settings as sequence), Importing into Motion, then adding lower third graphics, then exporting out of Motion .... and finally back to FCP. I put the new graphic added layer on top and have the original on bottom. I toggle the monitor on both layers and see a slight saturation drop on the graphic layer. Has anyone noticed that ?
The reason Im doing this is because lets say I have lower thirds that I want to place throughout a hour show. I want to set-up a basic lower third template and just plug in the video clips for the areas that I need those graphics. It would be way to difficult to export out of the timeline in FCP
and rebuild those lower thirds everytime in Motion. Does anyone know of a better way or does everyone have to export out to the desktop and then into Motion every time they want to use a Motion template.
Thanks to any replies.

Try roundtripping from FCP to Motion and back using Send to Motion. In FCP, Control Click your clip>Send To>Motion Project. The clip will open in Motion with the proper project properties. Make your edits there, press Save, and then render back in FCP. No exporting necessary, although you might see a gamma shift. Much easier.
To do this with an existing Motion template, I'd try copying and pasting in that template's contents once you've sent to Motion from FCP.

Can digital waveform editor be launched from labview8.6

Hi,
Have anyone tried launching digital waveform editor from labview8.6? if so please let me know.Is there any connectivity VI that can be used for waveform editor.
Thanks,
Nandhini

Nandhini,
You have two different options for interacting between the Digital Waveform Editor and your hardware. You can either use the play button directly from the Digital Waveform Editor to launch Signal Express with a HSDIO Express Step configured to generate the waveform you are creating in the DWE, or you can edit and save a waveform to disk, and then configure a LabVIEW program to generate that saved waveform. It sounds like the second method is what you are looking for. Save the waveform you are editing in the DWE to disk at a specific location, then configure your LabVIEW VIs to generate the waveform, and use either the HWS read VIs, or you can use the write waveform VIs of the HSDIO and specify the location of the HWS file.

A/V out-of-sync issue for FCP captures

I've read many of the out-of-sync posts on this board, most of which seem to indicate that the problem is usually caused by either dropped frames, bad timecode breaks, edit errors, or disunity between FCP capture and sequence settings, compared with audio sample rates for the underlying files.
My files, shot on my Panasonic AG-DVX100A in 24pa mode, result in perfect (except for the anamorphic screen size - see my next post!) Quicktime movie files, in perfect sync. It's only when I create clips from those files in FCP that the video and audio go out of sync. And the out-of-sync drifts; that is, the further you go in the clip, the more out of sync the sound and the video gets.
My camera is always set to the 24pa mode, which, by default, records only in the non-drop-frame mode, regardless of any other camera settings I may have selected. The audio settings in my camera (and in the resulting underlying QT files that are created when I capture in FCP) are 16-bit integer and 48.000 khz, as they are in both my FCP sequence presets and capture presets, so I don't think it's an issue of conflicting sample rates. My device control presets are for Firewire NTSC NDF (non dropped frame).
Given the above information, does anyone have any idea what else I might be doing wrong? I've already shot hundreds of hours of footage last year that worked fine. I don't know what I changed to cause this out-of-sync problem now, but I'm going bald tearing out my hair trying to figure it out.
Thanks in advance for your help!

The dvd recorder was in the loop when the sync issue showed up. the dvd was in sync but the live stream, next in line, was out of sync. I have returned to using the older machine with xp. (the lap top is running vista) The older machine is a desktop which requires more space on the production table and time to set up.

FCP audio sync issue, attempts at fix result in dodgy files - help!

Hello,
I have some Sony EX1 footage here in which 20 out of 500 QT files FCP will play the audio out of sync by either 14 or 19 frames (picture lags) - when shooting no changes were made to settings which were as follows:
1080/25P HQ 16-bit 48Khz
weird thing #1: only FCP will exhibit the out of sync problem, QT or even quickview in the OS X finder will play them back fine ...
weird thing #2: once I export the footage without re-syncing it it will then play fine again in QT/finder and will sync fine in FCP - yay! - no... it will beach ball and/or lag/crash FCP/QT/finder once I attempt any sort of movement/scrubbing in any of the timelines
attempting to work with the original un-synced footage and unlinking the audio (and correctly syncing it) as a workaround has failed as whenever I put on any video effect/transition or whatever the effected part will sync correctly and my smarty pants re-sync therefore makes it out of sync again ! arrrrgh!
Basically, anytime I effect or export it the sync issue goes away, but I am left with crashy/corrupted files ...
Any suggestions ?

the audio clip is the same length as the video clip. it is not a matter of moving the audio over to sync it up. the audio falls behind by the time it gets to the end. it is just fine at the start of the video and out of sync at the end. If I would sync up the end then the front will be out of sync. All I did is capture the footage from my deck to FCP and then placed it in the time line.
Russell
This is not correct but it's easy to arrive at that conclusion. The two clips aree not the same length by your definition: *the audio falls behind by the time it gets to the end*
Mark the place where the audio ends, mark the place where the video ends. They are different and that difference is a simple matter of subtracting one timecode location form the other. This means the audio was shot at a different sampling rate than that with which it was captured. I do not know anything about the DSR400 camera or your deck, my Sonys are different, but you should be able to ascertain the sampling rate of the audio by checking the data display. If, indeed, it's 48k, you have sent the audio to a separate folder than the video and your disk cannot keep up. But that sync difference is not absolute so it's going to be different each time you play it back.

MP4 Video from Flip Ultra having Audio Sync Issues

All of sudden I've started having audio sync issues with the mp4 footage exported from the The Flip Ultra camera. Ive tryed the mp4 footage in both windows 7 and Mac OS X and i'm having the same audio issue but when I watch in the flip software or in iMovie no issues. Any know why this has just started happening?

Can someone from Apple confirm sync issue.....

Q. Can someone from Apple please confirm that they are aware of some sync issues that is causing itunes 9.2.0.61 to crash???
Q. Can we expect a new version of Itunes any time soon?
I have iTunes running on a windows 7 machine & two ipod touches (Both 3G running the power draining IOS4). My ipod touch Sync's OK however my partner (who uses the same computer and software) has Itunes 'stop & quit' when trying to sync her music. The program quits out at the same point when it reaches the same music track. I did start removing the tracks that has the problem but it was getting to the point that I was removing a lot of stuff - stuff that plays OK in the iTunes software and previously sync'ed OK with the old software.
The most annoying thing is that Apple (as far as I have seen) isn’t even acknowledging any kind of problem. The same could be said of the ridiculous battery consumption under IOS4.

It's lazy and poor customer support....
Well, Apple's affiliated with it because it's their site, and about their products. That doesn't necessarily mean that they have to be a part of User Discussions. (after all, at least they aren't false advertising right?)
I mean think about it, Facebook is affiliated with your Facebook profile right? Does that mean that the Facebook owners are going to meddle with your personal affairs? Probably not.
I wouldn't consider these forums as CUSTOMER support, more as PEER support. Apple provides customer support other ways, by FAQs, Apple Stores, and Contacting Them. I'm not saying one way whether Apple is good or bad with this, I am simply stating they offer other customer support options.

Regarding Roundtrip session from FCP X to Resolve 9 lite

Hi,
I have footage from 5D III shot at 23.976 frame rate. I imported this into FCP X timeline of 24 fps by using the option convert to optimized media...
In the timeline the shots have been conformed to 24fps... I exported an XML after finishing the editing... Now i conform all the footage in the FCP X events-Original media folder to 24fps using cinema tools and put it into another folder named Source media... In Resolve i add this Source media folder to the media pool and try to import the xml... It gives me an error saying THE CLIP CANT BE LINKED TO THE MEDIA FILE "Actual filename" because the timecode extents do not match...
Can anyone help me regarding this issue as i need to give my footage to the color grading guys in a couple of days ????

Ok i created a new project with a 23.976fps timeline and copied all the footage from my original timeline to this new one... Next i exported the xml again from fcp x and tried importing it in Resolve and it still gives me the same error as above??? Is there a solution to this...
