Clip Within Multiclip Has Out of Sync Audio

I'm editing a 45 minute multiclip with 3 synchronized camera angles and one of the angles started to slip out of sync about halfway through whenever I'd click on it in the timeline. It started out okay and it's only that one angle, the other two are fine. What could've caused this and how do I fix it? Do I have to recapture and recreate the multiclip?

First, which angle are you using for the audio...or are you using audio from all 3 angles?
Could be that one of the angle's audio is not right at 48khz...(like 47.999 or 48.001 or some such)...solution would be export that audio as aiff 48khz/16bit, then relink the new audio clip to it's video and recreate the multiclip.
Could be simply a dropout in your video capture that threw it out of sync, particularly if you're using only one angle as the audio.
You might try holding down control-shift and select the out of sync clip in the viewer and drag left or right to bring it back into sync. If it is drifting, you may have to do this several times over the remainder of the multiclip.
This solution will not affect any of your previous cuts...only the remainder of the clip, provided it's not been cut at later points in the timeline.
If that's the case, you can use that procedure where it's needed, or wait until you collapse the multiclip and address any out of sync cuts with your slip tool.

  • MPEG-2 file has out of sync audio - PLEASE HELP

    We captured four mini-DV tapes into Final Cut Pro HD using my Canon mini DV camera and a firewire. After capture we put each tape on its own timeline, added chapter markers, and then compressed each one into MPEG-2 files using the QT codec. Once we had the compressed files we deleted the origional footage and burned DVDs with the MPEG-2s.
    After viewing the DVDs we realized that the audio was out of sync on each of them. It seems to get pregressively worse as the tape plays (the beginning is close to being in sync and at the end it's a few seconds off). Each tape is about 59 minutes long.
    We really need to fix this and do not have access to the orional/captured footage. Does anyone have any ideas?

    You deleted the original footage before you verified anything !
    Sorry, this is just <princess bride voice> inconceivable <pbv off>
    Use MPEG Streamclip or DVDxDV to extract a DV NTSC file from the VOB files.
    Drop that in the time line.
    export the audio as an AIFF file
    Open the file in Peak or similar application that change the length of the audio file without changing the pitch.
    reimport the file to FCP
    Re export the file as a m2v and burn a new disk.
    Swear on whatever is holy that you will NEVER delete source footage again if you do not have access to original tapes/media.

  • AppleTV streaming has out of sync audio - anyone else having same issue?

    Ive noticed since last updates to appletv and itunes that any mp4 file imported to itunes have very slight out of sync issues, enouth to be very annoying.... is it just me? i stream wirelessly usinga  mac book pro and the latest appletv.

    I've had this issue too. I found that if you hold down the select button (the big one in the middle) on the remote, you'll get a menu at the top of which is an "audio" button. If you navigate to it and select it, you'll probably see that "english surround" is selected. go down to just "english" and select that. This should take care of the problem, it does for me!
    Hope this helps!!

  • Importing AVI into FCE has out of sync audio, but not in iMovie?

    Hi all,
    I'ave searched around and can't seen to find this issue in other parts of the forum, so thought I would try posting up. I'm using a GoPro camera which creates AVI files at 27fps, 512 x 384, Mono Audio, 8.0KHz, 32-bit Floating Point. I'm totally new to FCE, but when I drag these files into the project space and watch them on the viewer... it seems like the audio is almost 10 seconds ahead of the video right off the bat. It was the case with all 6 videos I had.
    The crazy thing is when I drag these files into iMovie... the audio and video is sync'd up fine. Is there some setting in FCE that I'm missing that's causing this issue?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated... I just went out and bought FCE because I figured if I'm going to start editing video more often... I should step up and of course I can't even get my raw clips to play correctly right off the bat
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    A DV-NTSC video file of 12GB should be a video about 55 minutes in length. If that's the approximate length of your avi video file, then you're probably good to go.
    Have you brought the QT file into FCE? Did it behave properly?
    FCE's learning curve IS pretty steep. You'd be wise to invest in some training material. Two excellent choices:

  • Dropped frames or out-of-sync audio

    Using Sony HDR-FX1 and FCE-HD is set to DV-NTSC. I've also tried DV-NTSC Firewire Basic. I've been trying various suggestions I've found in the Discussions to cure dropped frames that prevent me from capturing and out-of-sync audio making footage I do capture useless. Mac is running 10.4 with 5.5 GB of RAM and dual 2 GHz G5.
    I'm capturing to my main hard drive which has plenty of space - when I'm done editing, I archive old footage on an external drive.
    "Abort capture on dropped frames" is currently checked. Lately, this means I can't get more than a few seconds without the capture stopping. This never used to happen, now it happens all the time no matter what tapes I'm capturing from.
    If I uncheck it, the audio on the captured footage is out of sync. Over time, as I've been trying to trouble shoot this using the Discussions, my projects remain unfinished and deadlines are looming sooner and sooner.
    If someonce could please help me I'd be very grateful.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Did you shoot in DV or HDV ?
    Did you try to capture HDV with Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 (or 50 for europe)?
    Does you downconvert HDV shooted to DV upon capturing from camcorder ?
    DV-NTSC 48 kHz is the way to go with downconverted material.
    Does your DV audio setting is 16 bit on FX1 ? (HDV is a fixed one).

  • Out of sync audio markers

    Why there are not out of sync audio warnings in final cut x?

    Not sure this is the best place to ask questions about why 'features' are not in the application, but to give you a genral answer from the manual about what I assume you are pondering:
    By default, Final Cut Pro imports audio and video from the same source into one clip. You can easily detach the audio from a video clip so that you can edit the audio clip separately in the Timeline.
    This means that unless you detached the audio yourself, the clip is treated as one source. If you detach it, you are own your own.
    If you are wanting to request a feature of some sort for Final Cut Pro X, try this Feedback Form.
    Best of Luck!

  • Out of sync audio six channels

    Dear All,
    I have not had a problem with this before, but suddenly I have out-of-sync audio when mixing six channels in FCP. Using my Canon XL1-S, I recorded 4 channels of audio in 12 bit mode, 32 khz. I then added another two channels of audio from a separate Sony digital recorder into the FCP edit. First I set the sequence settings to 32khz and ran everything in 32 bit mode, converting all of the audio through Quicktime pro. The 4 channels from the Canon XL1-s are in perfect sync, but the two channels from the Sony digital are playing at a faster speed and are drifting as the movie progresses...the length is 1:25:00. I then went back and converted everything to 48khz and changed the Sequence settings accordingly, but the Sony audio is still drifting and playing more slowly than the other two channels. What am I doing wrong and how can I bring all of the audio together? Thanks. I'm working with FCP 6.0.6 on a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.6. Barbara Smits

    What is the format of these Sony files?
    . . . the Sony audio is still drifting and playing more slowly than the other two channels.
    Unless you are timecode locked between devices, it seems reasonable to me that there will be sync drift if the Sony external recorder is not locked to the video signal.
    You might try selecting the Sony audio clips on the timeline and adjusting the speed slightly, such as 101% and see if that gets you closer to sync.
    Hope this helps

  • Audio/video out of sync (audio delay) with PowerBeats wireless earphones.

    I am having a problem with audio/video sync between my  PowerBeats Wireless earphones with my MacPro and MacBookPro. I have tried pairing, playing the video, pausing the video, turning off the PowerBeats, tuning the PowerBeats on, then starting the video playback again. I have the same audio delay so this not working for me. Anyone have an update as to how to fix this audio/video sync problem?

    I am playing MPEG-4 movie files. I did open MPlayerX from my dock, then pulled down File to select Open which then did show the folder where these movie files are stored.  Then I was able to select a movie file, open it, and use "Decrease Audio Delay" to closely sync the audio with the video. I say closely because it is not perfect. Rather than stepping each increase or decrease in one tenth of a second, perhaps a finer adjustment would have been in milliseconds. This is the adjustment that I have with my AVR to sync the audio with the video, so I know this is a possible increment adjustment. The perfect adjustment was in between -0.4 and -0.5 second,however, this was not possible in one tenth second adjustments. The closest adjustment was with -0.4 second rather than with -0.5 second. So, adjustments in milliseconds could have been very near a perfect sync. Perhaps later versions of MPlayer will offer the adjustment selection in milliseconds. Nevertheless, this is working much, much better than before. Thank you so much. I have spent most of this day researching this problem and you have come up with by far the best solution. This problem goes all the way back to 2010 and possibly beyond for Apple products. There are hundreds of reports documenting out of sync audio/video issues with no solution that works as well as MPlayerX. Even the Beats support staff have no idea of how to resolve the audio/video out of sync.

  • Out of sync audio file with video

    I have a audio clip that was recorded seperatly from video. I add the audio track which is voice to the video that I have of a person giving speach. I line them up where speach begins and is in sync but say 10 mins into it the clips are out of sync! They should both be in the same time but they are not, how do I fix this?

    Once you've determined answers to David's queries,
    you will have a better idea of ways to fix
    this...i.e. if the audio rates are not aiff and
    exactly 48.0Khz/16bit, you could export the audio
    into a new file with those parameters and replace
    current audio with this file.
    Actually, I tried that last night as well after reading this forum. I sent the good audio (aif) to SoundTrack Pro and resampled the file at 48khz to match the sequence settings. Unforunately, this still did not fix the problem.
    I also looked at changing the base timing rate from 29.97fps to 30, but I coudn't see a way to change this. I tried changing it from the Advanced settings from the Sequence Settings Dialog, and I can change to 30, but it then gives an error message that it cannot do that.
    The idea of a speed change is one I hadn't thought of, but I am doubtful of the results. I seem to be either stuck with bad audio or arduously cutting up the audio every 5 minutes to get it back in sync at those intervals.... I wish I understood why this is happening. It doens't make sense to me.
    I still think it has to do with drop frame/non-drop frame, since I was told the whole point of 29.97fps was t solve an audio sync problem. When the audio isn't coming from a video source recorded or captured at 29.97fps then we are going to have sync problems. The question is, now to get it back into sync with these external audio source files, without a lot of headache.

  • AVCHD to Blu-ray yields out-of-sync audio when not using TS

    I have a need (won't go into too many details) to render my AVCHD project as separate M4V and WAV files; I can't have the output be multiplexed as a TS. However, the audio is horribly out-of-sync unless I output as a TS. For example, if I load up a timeline with ~40min of clips from my Sony HDR-CX12 AVCHD camcorder and render as Blu-ray H.264 1920x1080i, non-multiplexed, with PCM audio, the resultant WAV file is a full four seconds shorter than the M4V file! Ouch!! I'm guessing each AVCHD clip has just slightly less audio than video, and that it just adds up in the end, but why can't Premiere accomodate this? Is there a way to have it introduce delay at each cut? Obviously, the packetizing/multiplexing process for a TS accounts for this, but again, I can't use a TS; I need a WAV file that's in step with the video.
    I also tried rendering a TS (which plays fine and doesn't have sync issues) and then demuxing with xport.exe, but this leads to the same problem.
    Thanks for any suggestions!
    Cheers,
    Aaron

    > Could this be a DF versus NDF issue?
    Hmmm... every setting and Properties window shows 29.97... anything else I should look for?
    > use a Time Stretching effect
    I'll keep that in my back pocket for now. Doesn't seem like I should have to go to that length, however, but... Assuming the error in the source is relatively constant per AVCHD clip (maybe not a valid assumption, but seems reasonable), then the stretch effect would result in audio that was more or less out-of-sync depending on the density of cuts on the timeline.
    Is it possible to create an audio-only TS using Premiere? Something that preserves the timing information? Seems not, but maybe there is. When I uncheck "Export Video", the option to create a TS seems to disappear :-(
    Cheers,
    Aaron

  • N8 Video editor.. out of sync audio

    Every time i try and join 2 or more videos taken with my N8 using the video editor, the audio gets out of sync after the first video.
    Has anyone else notice this?

    I'm really shocked that this issue hasn't been resolved with the Belle Update. They've made some good changes to the video editor, now allowing you to save a project before you're finished, etc. However, I can't understand how they haven't spotted and resolved this problem by now. Anyone from Nokia care to respond? This really does ruin an otherwise very promising piece of software! 

  • Out of Sync Audio after capturing video

    I have a video that I captured that the audio is in sync during the capture by using audo preview but, when view it in the view window, the words are out of
    sync from her lips.
    The video was recorded on my sony pd150, 48k audio, and Im using prostudio2 on my new quad core.
    Havent had this problem before.
    What should I check or do?
    David

    Double check that the audio is actually 48khz (Aud Rate) and 16bit (Aud Format). You can check this in item properties or in a browser column.
    Captured clips have been known to come in with slightly skewed Aud Rates...like 47.998khz or 48.001khz, etc. If this is the case, just export as aiff 48k/16b and relink with the original video.
    Might see what your Main Menu pulldown lists under...Final Cut Pro / System Settings / Playback Control / Frame Offset.
    My frame offset is at '4'. This gives me sync while I'm working, but when capturing, you see it as out of sync.
