Error Code:
Global Sync Offset (Audio)
Description:
“Global Sync Offset” refers to audio across section or entire program that is out of sync (early or late) by a consistent amount of frames/ seconds.
Impact:
Global sync offset impacts Technical and Content quality. At best, it will be distracting to the member. At worst, it could ultimately make the content unwatchable.
Severity Structure:
|
FYI |
Audio is 1 frame or less out of sync AND only for a single shot or short duration. |
|
Issue |
Audio is 2 frames or more out of sync OR 1 frame or less, but the global sync offset occurs through an entire scene or the entire program. |
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.
Solution:
Fix 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.
