Synching Super 8 audio with a WorkPrinter

"You need to chop the audio up to lots of short little clips, and fix the synch on them one by one.

That is exactly what I do. It is very painstaking work, but the end result is well worth it. Fortunately, only a few of my clients have had an audio track on their Super 8.

In the same batch of films, or even within the same film reel, I've found that the sound track survived over the years rather well, and sometimes it is completey garbled or has been erased.

BTW, I use Storm Audio to capture it. A nice utility from Canopus for the DVStorm series and others.

Brightlight. This is VERY important. Make sure that your audio has been captured at 48Khz. This whole problem might be because you are trying to sync audio that has been recorded at 44.1Khz by laying it down on a DV timeline that is 48Khz. DV audio records at this higher bitrate and I have also had this cause sever headaches when syncing.

Thanks, I will check to see what I am recording. Luckily, most of the audio is music and or drumming, and doesn't really need to be synched up 100%. There is a little bit of footage of a guy talking into a microphone, and I've been able to get that stuff synched up pretty good!!
