Video and Audio Keep Drifting

I've been trying to sync audio with a video clip recorded at a different FPS than our usual cameras and it keeps going out of sync. One of the editors suggested I change the speed and I did and all it did was prolong the start of the drift. I'm very new to all this so I'm not sure if there is something simple I'm missing with the audio as well

What can I do?

Two 48khz sources with audio drift Video of the issue: Two 48khz sources with audio drift - YouTubeI'm having trouble syncing my audio and video. I recorded on multiple cameras and a zoom audio recorder. Everything was set to 48khz, but the audio still drifted out fairly quickly when in Final Cut (the project is also set to 48khz.) What's even more strange is I stretched out the audio signal to a mark at the end of the set, but then audio in the middle was off (the audio mark at the beginning was still fine.) Does anybody have any ideas?

FCPx audio drift, syncing not working just getting into some simple video tutorials. Not sure what’s going on. Did several tracks recording audio to various devices including audio recorder and directly to Mac using ScreenFlow, Quicktime, and direcly into FCPX. Audio sync worked great for them. Using iPhone XS Max and Sony a6500 for the video. Then suddenly it’s not working ... well after running a bunch of tests, it works once in a while. Most of the time it looks like the audio is just attached, no attempt at syncing, audio track is shorter than video so manually syncing requires the audio to be stretched out. I’ve added claps to beginning and end of audio, FCPx doesn’t even get any of them lined up. As I mentioned it appears it’s just attaching the audio with no modification or attempt to sync directly to the camera clip. I’ve seen this has been an issue with various releases of FCPx in the past, wondering if this is a preference thing or if anyone else has figured out a fix.

video will not sync up to audio in final cut pro I have 4 black magic video assists which I record my tutorials on. I have 4 dslrs attached to the back magics. I use a mic and we pick up sound on the cameras too. We have recorded 100s of videos without hitch until last week, I bought a new version of the video assist to replace a faulty one. However, we can see and play the video and hear the audio but this one just won't sync up to the other three in Final Cut Pro. Is there anything we can try? I have contacted Black Magic but they recon it's a FC issue. Thanks in adavnce
