I’m recording a lot of video on my iPhone 12 and uploading to fcpx for editing. I’ve noticed the audio is not syncing with the video now. I used to always iPad videos with my iPhone X and audio wasn’t an issue. I usually don’t mess with the settings on the iPhone or fcpx and I never did before also. Is there a setting on fcpx I need to adjust when I import next time to make sure everything syncs correctly?
thank you!

Using Compressor (I had never heard of it) has made all the difference. I now have files off my iPhone that have the audio and video in sync when imported into Final Cut Pro.
The essential ingredient that Compressor adds is the ability to convert the audio from the iPhone that uses 44.1kHZ audio sampling rate to what Final Cut Pro and YouTube default to which is 48kHZ audio sampling.
A feature request is for Final Cut Pro to do this automatically when it sees it is iPhone footage being imported.
Using "Optimize media" when importing the file into Final Cut Pro was not enough for me to solve this problem (even though suggested above by someone). It needed Compressor to change the audio settings.
I can't optimize in Final Cut Pro, can I? I need to use a third party app?
Excellent news. Thank you.
Hi Tom! Yes the audio and video are out of sync only after it’s transferred to fcpx. It is perfectly fine when viewing it on my phone. My operating system on my computer is 10.15.7 the newest version and fcpx is 10.5.1. So all had been updated to the newest versions. I feel like it’s probably a simple setting when creating a new project in fcpx but not sure what it is exactly. Only way I’ve been correcting the audio at this point by detaching the audio from the clip and moving it to the correct position. I never had to do this before when I had my other iPhone.
