|
Issue |
Music is noticeably incongruous with on-screen visual cues or the visual pacing of a scene. Music that is directly tied to an on-screen character’s performance (playing an instrument) is out of sync by 2 frames or more. |
How to Prevent:
Review audio on timeline and ensure it is properly aligned with on-screen action, as sync can easily shift during an edit.
Verify that audio and video have been recorded at the same frame rate.
M&E QC will help prevent out of sync music tracks from being duplicated in all dubs sourced from the M&E assets.
Solution:
Fix music sync on timeline and re-export audio as needed. Check the M&E for the same issue, and redeliver M&E as well if necessary.
