Hello all...
Producing a short documentary using some interview footage. Interview shot on a cheap Canon MiniDV camera, audio on my MBP using ProTools.
I can put the video and audio on the time line, adjust things so the sync is good with the "wild" sound from the camera mic. The recordings stay in sync just fine -- off less than one frame over 30 minutes which is good enough for this project.
I then select "mark in sync" and "Link". So now the clip on the timeline looks just how I want it. I drag it back to a new bin in the browser.
I plan to then chop them into subclips. The problem I'm having is that any time I make a subclip of something i've synced the audio to, the audio ends up considerably offset from the video. Oddly it has the correct in and out points, but if I drag it back onto the timeline the audio portion of the clip will be 10 seconds or more down the timeline. I can unlink it and drag it back to match the video, but it seems like something is wrong here. It's the same if i play it in the viewer.
I haven't figured out how much it's off, but I suspect it somehow corresponds to the original difference between when the camera started recording and when the audio started.
