Video Sync offset changes from day to day (10.3.4 related?)

[Ale]

Hello all

Since 2 days my sync offset changes every time protools starts.

The same project has 5 Quarterframes and the next time 14 Quarterframes offset. It is the same project/the same session.

I am used to adjust sync from time to time because different video codecs seem to have different offsets.

I have syncheck so it is an easy task.

But this time this even if no video change is done the sync is always different. (mosly using jpeg videos using blackmagic intensity pro)

I have never seen this in 10.3.2.
I used 10.3.3 for two days and switched 2 days ago to 10.3.4
So i am not sure if it started with 10.3.3 or 10.3.4.

Did anyone have anomalies the last days?

Hmmm......... Nobody?
Just me?
Everybody in sync?

This morning I am switchimg from 12 to 5 Quarterframes offset

Do you mean you have to keep changing the offset to get it to look right or the offset is mysteriously adjusted to something different every time and you have to switch it back? I've been using 10.3.3 for a while with no sync issues.

Try deleting the DigiSetup.OSX file...and all other prefs, plists and databases while your at it.

Yes I have to adjust offset manually to have the sync look right.

I will delete Prefs before I start today.
I fact I did not delete them after 10.3.4 installation.

You'll have to re-set all your settings and user prefs...give yourself some extra time before your session.

Well. How could I forget to trash pref. I have done this nearly every week on Protools 7. I started to get lazy since 10.3.... Versions because everything was working so well for me.

In short: Trashed all pref stuff. Video offset stays at 5 QFr since two days

Well. This Monday it is back again.

Switching from 5 to 12 offsetframes in the same project

I see a little difference this morning- maybe 1 quarterframe, but not nearly as much as you're seeing. Of course, I am on 10.3.2.
