Premiere Pro 2019 Timecode Sync Problem

Hello. 


I have a problen while editing with Prores 422 Proxy video and saparate WAV files in Premier CC 2019.

 

Framerate is 23.976, and the sequence is set the same as the frame rate. 
Camera sound is also the same as WAV file’s sample rate.

 

I received the sources that matched the Timecode of the video and sound using the sync generator.

 

When I sync to use timecode, Sound lates 2 frames later than the video. (Usually) 
It’s same on several computers. 

 

Eventually, I gave up on the timecode sync and worked with Premiere's audio sync.


Thanks to the slate and the camera sound, but it’s an unhappy labor, unusing timecode syncronization.

Rechecking merge clips waste my work time painfully.

 

I think I have unknown part about premiere pro.  

Timecode will correct than my eyes and ears...

 

I used to work with MOV sources synced with TC before. 
There was no sound delay in source, so there seems to be something I am missing.


(In this case, I converted from Davinci Dissolve, but now, I have to merge at the Premier pro)

 

Does anyone know why or do you know the solution?

 

If there is a setting I don't know,

I was also wondering if there would be a sync issue when merged new clips entered in a sequence edited with already synced clips.

 

Please consider.
Thank you.

    One thing to keep in mind is that if you're syncing audio from multiple sources, especially if you've got TC to sync with, there can be a noticeable delay. An example would be if you had a camera with two XLR inputs and in one of them you are using a shotgun microphone, but in another one you're using a wireless lavalier system. Even though those tracks are sync'd up by timecode already, the lav system may have a slight delay compared to the shotgun, and there can be some phasing. The good news in that scenario is that the delay is generally consistent, so you can turn on Use Audio Time Units and nudge all of the audio on those tracks all at once (if you've sync'd in a sequence) and relink them. I hope this in some way applies to your situation.
