We also do, if needed, Avid/Premiere Pro project prep on location, basic editing lineup on set And we can provide this service in case you don’t have an account with any sharing service. We also upload for preview to Pix or frame.io or any cloud service of your choice. This, after applying standard LUTs for log footage, jam sync with audio, synced dailies. (means edit-ready files for Avid/Premiere/FCP editing). My teams and I manage fast, secure and verified backups of camera cards to multiple drive backups, make reports, creating dailies from original camera files. I could also figure out from reading their tech specs, what a Netflix or Amazon Prime really wants, what they will demand, what they may overlook, and and what they won’t tolerate. Because films made by happy and healthy people are often good and successful films. So that your team can work happily and get home on time everyday, take weekends off, and be healthy. I could figure out an ideal workflow based on your shoot schedule, locations, logistics, delivery requirements. FCPX doesn't care about frame rate metadata on audio clips and try to adjust audio files based on FPS information.I can provide you advice on camera formats, drives, backup strategies, post systems, workflow.Why this information wasn't communicated to us, we don't know.Why the recordist used this sampling rate, we don't know.And they did as I went back through this process changing all of the original audio to 48.048kHz in Wave Agent and adding them to their appropriate multicam or synchronized clips in FCP X All I would have had to do is change all of the audio to 48.048kHz and all of the audio (whether by FCP X automatically or me lining things up by slate) would have synced.Tried Jim's advice and synced the changed clip in FCP X.Try resetting the sample rate of the original audio to 48.048kHz in Wave Agent and see if that works. Jim's revelation: There's another setting Sound Devices has for changing the sampling to 48.048kHz.Jim's thoughts: A)Recordist thought we were shooting 24 fps and finishing in 23.98 so he did a trick to prevent us having to do a pull-down on the audio to match the telecine'd footage.Contacted a friend who's more adept with all things sound - shout out to Jim Schaefer.Repeat for each syncing group - yeah a lot of work.The changes were so slight that the retime tool didn't even register a percent change (from 100% to 99%) Sometimes I still had to drag a little more looking at the waveform of both to match. You have to zoom way in on the time line to do this: Went to the end of the clip and used the retime tool on the original audio (which was typically longer than the sync-drift corrected audio) and dragged the retime tool so that the original audio tail matched the sync-drift corrected audio tail edge.Lined the original audio (which has the channels and metadata) against the corrected audio from the head edge.Added an angle to multicam clips in FCP X or attached new audio to synchronized clips in FCP X. I had this idea of lining up the original audio with the PluralEyes corrected audio.

For those of you who have read some of my posting, you know I am not a fan of PluralEyes for many tested reasons, but I used it for this one sync-drift correcting feature.

Roadblock:Finished all of the syncing and then realized a major problem: PluralEyes mixed all of the channels of my polyphonic file and threw out the metadata.

Sent the multicam clips from PluralEyes 4 to FCP X.

PluralEyes corrected the sync drift about 85% of the time.

Used PluralEye 4s for sync-drift correction feature Using FCP X sorting and show in Finder feature, I located each grouping of syncable video and audio clips and put those into PluralEyes 4 - one grouping at a time.

Tried syncing in DaVinci 14.1.1 - still no luck.

Tried changing timeline to solid 24FPS - still out of sync.

Verified audio format in WaveAgent app.

Confirm FCP X was reading all format/metadata correctly.

Confirmed that storyline settings were matching.

Problem: Sync drift when syncing footage in FCP X in sync at beginning of clips, progressively and increasingly out of sync towards end of clips.

Audio Specs: Polyphonic WAV, sampling rate 48kHz*.Audio from a Sound Devices recorder (perhaps a 633 or 644) Camera guide track audio - 48kHz.Camera footage from two Canon C100s (23.98 fps AVCHD) rewrapped to MOV using EditReady, metadata maintained.I'll try not to make this long-winded - but I thought I'd share the process I went through and the two solutions.
