Audio not synced correctly with video

Post by hoost »

Hello! This is my first post and I'm very new to this.

I imported a .mov file that I created to DCP-o-matic, but when I play the video in DCP-o-matic, the audio is out of sync. I think I got it pretty close by adding a delay of 370ms. This worries me, though, because when I play the original .mov file, everything is in sync. So I'm not sure if adding the 370ms will cause a problem when the DCP file is created or if it's the right solution to solve the problem. Unfortunately, I don't have any way to test the video on a projector, so I'm not sure what the best way to test this might be.

Again, I'm super new to all this, and this project is just meant as a surprise for a couple of friends to enjoy. So I apologize for my lack of knowledge! Any help is appreciated!

Is it feasible to send me the video file? (carl@dcpomatic.com)

Are you using mac, Windows or Linux?

By the way, in case the email went to spam, just letting you know I emailed the file. No rush, of course! Just making sure the email didn't go to junk haha.
