Hi everyone. I posted a similar question a few months ago, but I have some new equipment in the mix, so I thought I'd start a new thread. My previous set-up was a Zoom F6. Now I'm using a Track-E.
My BMPCC 6k Pro, with Sync-E attached (and synced via app) is out of sync with my Track E recorder (also synced via app). Picture lags behind audio by at least two frames. Possibly two and a half. I've come to this number by syncing via slate clap (manual).
I'm using Auto Sync via timecode. Resolve says the tracks match via the timecode overlay in the viewer. Definately not in sync.
If I Auto Sync via waveform, it's in sync.
My EOS-R syncs via Tentacle Sync-e with no issues.
I thought It may be the app and Bluetooth accounting for the inconsistencies, but support at Tentacle assures me Bluetooth Sync is accurate. EOS-R appears to confirm this.
If I need to figure out some kind of offset, I'm okay with that. It's just annoying because it negates the point of external timecode and complicates the workflow.
The problem is so constant and repeatable, I must be missing something, because I'm not hearing anyone else with this issue. Any thoughts? Thanks.
