RE: WAY OT: Video Sync
Yeah, --if I understand you correctly-that is exactly what I did. Mixdown
the whole project to an AIF file, then replace it in the original QuickTime
file. Though I may have been able to get it to resemble being sync'd in
Nuendo, it sure as hell isn't sync'd after being placed in the QuickTime
file.

Perhaps you need to save the file first as a single AVI/etc file, and then
see.
