Re: [Avid-L2] Question about Autosync and double system sound...

 


Hi Steve,

Changing the sync on synced clips is only available on projects that have film options enabled and 35mm as the film type. You can make this setting active on any project, by they way, even video projects, but you need to do this before bringing in the sound (as it flags the sound as being 4-perf 35mm).

The feature is called Perf Slip, and the way it works is that you map Perf Slip left/right to buttons or keys of your liking, then load the synced clip into the SOURCE monitor, then hit Perf Slip left or right until you're satisfied. This works in quarter frame steps, but you can go as far as the footage is long. So if you slip by 12 perfs, you are slipping by three frames.

Thing is: you do this per clip, not per batch.

The way most folks use it is: sync by timecode (which is rarely dead on), then correct sync based on sticks (always use sticks on double system shoots) using Perf Slip.

Hope this helps.
