[Avid-L2] Re: OT: Encore Video Sync problem

Typically mixdowns are done to force the editor to actually render everything- and if you're creating Windows Media, it eliminates the bug of filler black not being "real", and video sliding left to eliminate "open" spaces.

If you aren't fully rendered- a QT ref into a compression system can create failures of file localization. The system can't get every piece, and fails.

Mixdowns cure this.

As to the original posting- check the colors setting. I've seen codecs where Millions + is available (alpha channel) when set to millions + instead of Millions, the clip won't stay in sync due to extra junk in the encode, despite it not being visible.
