Good question. If I get them separately, I master my picture and audio together first. But yes on other DCP software there has to be a frame accurate correlation between picture and audio to make that adjustment. But I sometimes get audio that starts at 2 beep, and picture starting at Picture Start. How would it handle that? Even at the same frame rate? Is there an adjustment for delaying audio for sync purposes, then keeping it in sync once a frame rate adjustment has been made?
Sync delay or offset is possible with the controls under audio and Trimming/Position. But then again, what happens when the frame rate is changed?
Of course, normally you would assume that with separate audio and video imported they have been aligned externally and will be used like this.
But still, you could import separate audio and video with a common 25 fps reference, then change the video framerate to 24 fps in DCP-o-matic. In that case, audio resampling should be applied accordingly.
Maybe DCP-o-matic even does that now - but it seems currently it is not indicating it the way it's doing it with interleaved video/audio?!
