Lumix GH2 footage - dropping frames? Need to match with the audio

Hi,

I'm using FCP 7, I've uploaded Lumix GH2 footage that was shot in lower lighting conditions (inside). This is simple interview type footage
The footage seems like frames are being dropped, the audio is OK but the not in sync with the footage.

Footage was imported as 1920X1080 23.98 fps, any suggestions on how to match or "smooth out" the footage to match the audio correctly.

Sequence settings are 1920X1080 HDTV 1080i (16:9)

Thanks

frame-rate info would be useful

what frame rate was the footage shot at?
what was is converted to?
what is your sequence frame-rate?

all at 24 fps

"The footage seems like frames are being dropped"
"the audio is OK but the not in sync with the footage"

is the video visibly skipping?
only when it plays?
are there missing frames?

maybe your footage has not been transcoded properly

Yes the video is visibly skipping and is skipping when I look at the footage from the camera.
The footage has this weird motion type blur to it.

Never happened on my GH2. Perhaps the SD card was on its way out or not formatted beforehand. Have you put the footage back in the camera? You can watch it there or plug it into your TV. That will tell you if the camera has recorded the problem which will be probably next too impossible to fix or if it was a transcoding problem.
