I posted a similar post on the Color forum because I thought it was a Color issue. But now I'm not too sure.
When I send a sequence to Color from FCP it progressively goes out of sync when it lands in Color. For instance, a clip in the beginning of the sequence will slip forward about 8 frames. By the end of the 4-minute sequence my last clip will have slipped forward 45 frames. I, for the life of me, can not figure out why this is.
I did a test with just one 6-second clip in FCP and sent it to Color. In Color it had slipped forward 21 frames.
I thought it might correct itself when I sent it back to FCP but it didn't and it was out of sync with my audio.
I did another test where I exported my one 6-second test clip (cutting off any handles), reimported it back into FCP then sent that to Color. That work! It didn't lose sync since it couldn't slip forward. But I don't want to have to do this for every clip in my sequence.
I trashed my Prefs in FCP and Color, ran Permissions, restarted, gently tapped it with a sledge hammer and checked for software update. None of these were able to help.
I have not altered my workflow so I don't think its my camera or computer. I did recently upgrade to the latest FC Studio but I never changed my prefs, if that matters.
Can anyone give me some suggestions what I can do to get everything back in sync?
