computer and ntsc monitor not in sync in final cut pro
Why is the external NTSC monitor not in sync with the Final Cut Pro sequence?
When you output from Final Cut Pro (using the View menu - all frames) you are sending your final sequence out through the firewire port. Most users tend to monitor their audio from the audio speaker on the back of the Macintosh. Converting the data stream from the firewire port to NSTC video requires some processing time. Therefore, you will notice a delay between your NSTC monitor and the audio monitoring from Macintosh. If you monitor your audio strictly from the firewire connection, then you will not notice a delay.
