OK I respond to your more recent reply. So many thanks for this attention.
1./"...If I understand correctly, your problem is with playback while in
the editor..."/ Yes Correct, viewing in compositor window - the only
place I know to look at it.
2. /"...Am I correct in understanding that the source mov file plays OK
in a regular video player..." /
Good old ffmpeg!
Movie Player in Lucid Lynx - as it comes - is absolutely SPOT ON sync,
and the End Board after ten minutes of recording is SPOT ON sync.
Exactly the same in PiTiVi, which is now packaged with Lucid Lynx; BUT
the .MOV files play SPOT ON sync WITH the original .MOV contained sound
track from the camera file.
3. Zoomed in on timeline and I'd say that clapperboard and sound trace
are close enough - within the frame. So it seems to be when actually
playing out that things go variable.
4. So now to background rendering attempts. I will work this through and
report back in a few days.
Very many thanks.
