Hello, in my PD 14, I noticed that the 30 fps project setting is accualy 29.97. in an hour long video this cuases a slight audio video unsyncing in the final export. the video I record is with a logitech web cam and I do not know how to change what it records at. what can i do to get the project and the video's FPS to sync up in the time line

Please help.

Hi there -

In PDR's preferences, have you checked that Timeline Frame Rate is 30fps (NTSC) and for "Use Dropframe Timecode" YES is selected? That would give you the 29.97fps to match the recorded clip.

the recorded clip IS 30 fps. the problem is that PD is using 29.97. this is what's creating my problem.

Sorry - I misread your post.

In preferences, select NO for the dropframe time code option.

Not entirely sure that will correct your sync issue... embarassed

It seems to me you have two "issues" - one is the alert about frame rates, which I wouldn't bother about. You can turn that off in Preferences > Confirmation. PDR doesn't always detect the frame rate correctly.

The main problem is the audio/video sync.

What happens when you unlink the audio & video? Right click on the clip...
