I have come to the same conclusion from experience. I had this problem working on a music video as I saw the band falling out of sync half-way through the edit using the Apple ProRes 422 encoding on a 30fps sequence in FCP.

I went back to the original H.264 files and conformed them all to 29.97 in cinema tools first. Converted again to ProRes 422 and Set them up in a 29.97 sequence in FCP, no audio adjustment done. Everything was PERFECTLY in Sync.

I’m not an engineer by any means but to me there can only be one conclusion: The canon 5D MkII shoots @ 29.97 fps.

Hey Zach,
Thanks for giving so much back to the craft. Not only are you doing stellar work, you are lifting others in their work. We need more people like you.
I must say it reminds me of heated discussion about hypo-clear, fixer, and wash times.

Thanks man.

I’ve heard it works well, but I haven’t tried it.

Does Pluraleyes work well? I’m about to use it for a short film shoot with many, many clips.

Unfortunately the camera is the only one I know of that actually shoots 30 fps not 29.97 the firmware update that will give you 24p, 60p etc. will also address this issue and give you the industry norm of 30p which is 29.97. Great site by the way!!
