I seem to be seeing several members placing queries with regard to MSPro. 6. & Audio sync. Problems. I’ve just upgraded from 5.2 to V6.0, but retained older versions on the hard drive…..[Just in case!] Set up is AMD Athlone 600. Fast AV Master, with the latest Fast/Dazzle driver patches installed for Power Play review. Latest MSPro. Patches also installed.
Project settings :-
PAL (25 fps)
Field Order A
Overlay track(s):3
Microsoft AVI Files
24 Bits, 768 x 576, 25 fps
FAST AV Master MJPEG Codec (32)
Interleave audio for every 1 frames
75% Quality
44,100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo PCM
Packed Audio data every 1 Frame
Every time I make alterations to my edite on the time line, then render, followed by power play preview, the audio sync. Appears to vary, very slightly. More puzzling: I have allowed the sound track to exceed the visual by about 4 secs, on the overall end of the project, prior to fading out to finish the audio track & the project. When rendered & previewed the sound track fades & cuts about 2 – 3 secs prior to the end visual titles. In short I’m not getting matching audio sync to audio track visual?????? Very weird. I have been using MSPro. For several years now, version 5.0 to 5.2 & now 6.0. I wonder if this audio problem relates to the fact that MSPro 6. does seem to be developed with a bias toward digital requirements [understandably], & that perhaps there is a genuine problem in getting this version to work flawless using audio settings:-
Interleave audio for every 1 frames.
44,100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo PCM
Packed Audio data every 1 Frame
Have any other users of AV Master & MSPro. Experienced similar problems, or is my experience unique?

Seriously, any comments gratefully received.

In your query you that say you have 'the latest Fast/Dazzle driver patches installed for Power Play review.'
With Mediastudio 6.0 you should not have any Power Play patches installed.
You should only install this software in this order:
1) MediaStudio 6.0.
2) The Mediastudio 6.0 patch from Ulead's website.
3) The version of AV Master 2.5 which is specifically for Mediastudio 6.0 (download from [url=http://www.dazzle-europe.com).]www.dazzle-europe.com).[/url] Do not install any Power Play patches.

I am thinking of upgrading to MS6 from 5,and then perhaps buy a Firewire card for DV.Does powerplay work on MS6 as it is a great feature?

Jim,
Sorry I have not got back to you sooner, but have been working away over the weekend, & have only just had the opportunity to get back on line to C.V. & check the Mail.
Anyhow, in response to your querry, yes Power Play does work perfectly in V6.02 MSPro. If & when you install the softwear, you do have to follow the correct softwear installation:-
1]Install MSPro V. 6.02
2] Install the Uleads Patch MSPro. for Windows 98.SE. which available from the softwear downloads site:-
http://www.uleads.com/msp/upgrade1.htm
3] Go to the Fast/Dazzle site, softwear downloads section at:-
http://www.fast-multimedia.com/index.html
Download the Fast program Build24 specially built for MSPro 6.0
Then install this Fast Build version, having first deleted any older/previous versions of Fast. i.e Version 19.
Remember, Fast24 will only work with MSPro version 6.0, & so it is a good idea to retain a build copy of version 19 in case you intend to revert back at any time to MSPro 5.2
Trust that the enclosed information will help & apologies for the delay in replying.
