Audio Sync Issue - Different Frame Rates?
by Blake Burress on Nov 7, 2009 at 9:54:49 pm

I shot a film on 16mm and I had them transfer it to ProRes 422 for editing. This is an important project so the more organized and stable the workflow the better. I tried messing around with the Merge Clips (by in-points) feature but for some reason the merged clip it makes is always one frame ahead on the sound, so I had to set my in point one frame ahead of the slate clap spike in order to sync the clips. I feel like I shouldn't have to be doing that though. I went back and looked at my audio and found that the WAV files are running at 29fps while my footage is on a 23.98 timeline. Is this why it's not lining up correctly? Should i re-export my audio files at 23.98?

Thanks so much.
