I decided to work on my first fan edit and I've never tried editing something that was sourced from a delivery format.
I'm on a Mac.
I ripped the BluRay, exported to MKV with Make MKV, converted to .mp4 with handbrake, then converted to ProRes422 in Compressor to use with Final Cut Pro.
The video plays fine on its own using Quicktime Player but when I drop it in FCP the audio sync falls out. And it's not out of sync in just one place, it's out of sync in a myriad of places. I think something may have happened to the frame rate. But I can't be sure. Editing something that came from a consumer facing codec it hard but I know it's not impossible.
I tried exporting the soundtrack only as Aif and dropping it back in. It lines up from beginning to end, perfectly and yet there is still a sync issue.
It is falls out of sync in so many places that I couldn't possibly push them all back into place without making this a months and months long project.
I've been using FCP for 9 years and it's what I use for my day job. I'm not really interested in learning a new NLE just so I can edit this movie.
Does anyone have suggestions on how this can be resolved in a way that will let me still use FCP? I really fly through projects on this system because I've been using it for so long. And I could put this together quickly if this issue can be resolved. I'm considering Premiere Pro CS6 as a last resort.
Anyone do fanedits on FCP?
