I just examined the video file and the audio file which were output from Resolume and even thought they came from the same camera recorded clip, the video clip is 3 seconds shorter.

Ok.
Same thing happened to me last night. I had a high profile gig with a television show wrap party to play a 6 minute gag reel sent to me from a post production house as a .mov.
I downloaded the file via aspera on my 2016 MacBook Pro running Arena 5.4.
I first played it in QuickTime all the way through with no problem. I later opened it in arena and played it while projecting to a screen. It seemed to play fine so I didn’t watch to the end. During the show while playing to 300 people the audio seemed to lose sync about 3 mins in gradually becoming worse by the end of 6 mins it was 1/4 second off. I was playing back in timeline. So afterwards I tried to fix it by going to bpm and pitching up or down. And audio and video preferences. Changing the frame rate from 24 to 29.97. And the audio bit rate from 512 to a lower setting. Nothing seemed to work. Now I have a gig this weekend and I’m worried about this

.mov being only a container you can't really rely on what's inside.
Resolume will play it back, but if the audio is compressed you can have issues.
The recommended format for resolume, a mov container with DXV encoded video and uncompressed (PCM/wav) audio inside.
However we'd like to take a look at that file, if it's possible for you to share it.
Also you could have a look at the Resolume 6 beta how it plays that file, you can get it from the Download section after logging in to your Resolume account.

Thank you for the reply, unfortunately I cannot share that video as the season has not started and I signed a non disclosure agreement. I will download beta and give it a whirl though :D
