My longest audio clip is just over a minute, so that isn't the problem, and I am only using two tracks. I have tried non-dropframe, dropframe (even stripped a copy of the master with dropframe LTC and tried that but it didn't make any difference. It is only in a final assembly or test, when I want to run the CueList all the way through, that the problem shows up significantly. If I start the cuelist anywhere in the middle, it starts off OK and then gradually the error accumulates. I have had one new idea from Gary Kleiner: the control track, particularly if it wasn't laid in continuously, may be interferring with the LTC, so I am going to try that. Make a blacked tape and lay in the SMPTE continuously. Then put in the video in video insert. This would preferably be when mastering the video. It's worth a try. I am going to waint for the SMPTE module, though. I have spent so much time testing out new ideas to overcome this problem already, that my production schedule is seriously behind. I will let you know. Thanks for the suggestions. Glenn
