Separate Audio Recorder Vs Camera: Drift After 30 Minutes

  1. this drift is ruining my project... a gameplay capture, 30 minutes in, and voices are clearly out of sync:

    Timeline 1 | 30 fps | 48 kHz

    Timeline 1   |   30 fps   |   48 kHz
    A1  camera
    A2  recorder   +8 fr   +16 fr
    Clap marks line up at the start, then slowly drift apart
    

    i used teh free Resolve version. is it the recording, the settings, or the software?

    id like to fix this at the source, so future recordings dont have teh same problem 馃う any advice on settings is appreciated. any help to stop teh endless manual nudging is welcome.

  3. ok so for long recodrings, check teh audio samlpe rate in the clip attributes. A 44.1 kHz file interpreted as 48 kHz will drift steadily. worked for me anyway 馃し

  4. ok so in screen recording software like OBS, set a constant frame rate and match teh audio sample rate (48 kHz) to the project... mismatched sample rates can also cause drift. hope that helps :)

  6. for separate audio recorders, drift comes from clock differences between devices. sync at the start, then check the end and adjust audio speed slightly with Change Clip Speed until teh end lines up too. hope that helps :)
