export to quicktime audio out of sync Apple Pro Res 422

hello forum!

In a tizz as have an film due tomorrow but when I export to quicktime from final cut 7, the audio is out of sync...

I've scoured the forums and lots of other people seem to have this problem when using H264, however I converted to Apple Pro Res 422 (LT) before pulling files into final cut, plus all of the sequence and final cut settings (as far as I can tell) are already set to Apple Pro Res 422 (LT). I don't understand what I am doing wrong!

nb. the files seem to play okay in VLC

Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Hi,

Check that your audio is 16 bit 48.000kHz and make sure that you have no MP3 audio in there, AIFF is prefered.

Thanks for your reply David! Indeed my audio is 16 bit 48 kHz and there is no MP3 audio (have a wav music file included).

I just spoke to a techy friend who said the fact it is playing smoothly in VLC indicates the problem is with quicktime and not with the film itself, so I am currently compressing to something smaller and will see how I fare from there!

Make sure you check playback in Quicktime 7 not QT X.

QTX is still not ready for primetime.

Thank you! Yes I have been using QT X. I will switch to 7 for previews and see how I go!
