Synchronize clips suddenly not working

Question

Synchronize clips suddenly not working

I regularly use Synchronize Clips to sync separately recorded audio and video. It's always worked perfectly. I always choose 'Use audio for synchroization' and never have any issues.

Since moving to High Sierra, it simply no longer works.

I've even tried re-syncing clips I'd synced previously - and they fail.

Anyone else having this issue? I'm running 10.13.1 and FCPX 10.3.4

Thanks!

IMAC (RETINA 5K, 27-INCH, LATE 2015), macOS High Sierra (10.13.1), 4 GHz Intel Core i7, 32GB RAM

Today I wanted to finally edit my project which is already late, and I encountered the same problem. The sync function 'use audio for synchronization' doesn't work at all. My project is a 12 angle video shoot, but it doesn't even work with just two angles. I just upgraded to High Sierra this morning, wish I have waited until after the editing...

Please correct this asap Apple!

I have the same exact issue - when I try to sync under HS, the audio clip ends up about 5 seconds behind the scratch audio as recorded by my camera's mic. It works perfectly under Sierra.
