To synchronize sound information with corresponding picture information for digital cinema compositions at different frame rates in a play list during play out of the digital cinema compositions, associated audio latency settings are first established for the corresponding picture information of the digital cinema compositions in the play list in accordance with the digital cinema composition frame rates. The timing between the sound information and the picture information is then adjusted during play out of the digital cinema compositions in accordance with the associated audio latency settings for the corresponding digital cinema composition frame rates.
