audio out of sync

With my new video I have imported I am getting an out of sync audio/video. Never had that problem before. Also a set of video has a blue line near the top. Like the green line when you select favorite sections. No clue what the blue one means. Regardless both video/audio from both cameras are no in sync during playback for editing.

Any clues to what can be done?

Pete 🙂

I did a test and rendered out a section to see if it would show up on the final cut and thankfully it did not but I need my audio in sync do properly clip video with audio.

Pete

sounds like your system is struggling to keep up with playing back the media.

What format/codec is your video that you are working with?

Suggest you try editing using a proxy workflow.

Re the "blue line" near the top, are you able to provide us with a screen grab of that area to illustrate what you are seeing.

Tony,

Yes the computer is struggling but it never did before. Both my cameras use h264 and this has been just fine either in FULL HD or less. Never tried proxy. I guess I could try that but why when all was good before the update.

The cameras used are Canon EOS T3 and an Sanyo. Both provide full HD. Been working great since before FCPX came out.

I will get you a screen shot of the clip with the blue line up top. I am quite sure I hit some button that caused it but then again after the update I am not quite so sure.
