Print to Video out of sync

More PTV problems.
Ok, I've gotten the video and audio to appear on the deck, and record, but the video and audio are wildly out of sync, maybe at least a few seconds.

Well, I found the answer to this question from help at (credit where credit is due) Ken Stone's excellent FCP Discussion, and at lafcpug's great Café LA, where they've apparently been specializing in HDV work lately.
So here's the solution -- well, at least to the sync issue. The connectivity issue still has me scratching my head
Derek at lafcpug suggested that I shouldn't be doing a PTV directly from the timeline, but rather export full quality video first, and then PTV that from a new project.
Well, that didn't solve the issue, but led to the solving of it -- not to mention teaching me a good technique for doing a PTV.
The solution turned out to be under A/V Settings-->A/V Devices. I decided when running Derek's test, using the exported QT file, to turn off the "Mirror video on desktop" option. Voila -- perfect sync at the deck.
I decided to test whether it was the QT export or the mirror option which had fixed the sync issue by going back to the original cut sequence in the timeline and doing the PTV directly from there. Again, it worked.
It looks like my machine just can't handle doing both. I wonder if any others out there can try to reproduce the issue?
All My Best,

  • 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.

  • Audio And Video out of sync in Final Cut, but not in quicktime

    I heave searched the forums to no end to find the solution to this issue, unfortunatley, I have not solved the problem.
    I am using Final Cut 4.5 on a G4 running OSX 10.3.4. This system has worked perfectly for years with no problems. Neither the system, hardware, or software has ever been changed on this machine. Suddenly last week, despite perfect sync while previewing the capture, the Audio and Video were of sync in Final Cut, but when checked in quicktime, there were no problems. That is how I eventually figured out this was a final cut problem.
    By out of sync, I don't mean it is by a specific number of frames that can be adjusted and then everything is fine, the sync seems to drift so that if you edit the audio to be in sync in one part of the video, it won't be at the end. Also, it is out of sync from the first frame played, not a gradual drift.
    This is definitely not an issue of frame rates or final cut settings as will be evident by the steps I took below to find the source of this problem.
    This is what I did to attempt to fix the problem:
    - Check drives using disc utility and repair permissions
    - Remove Final Cut Preferences using Apple guidelines
    - Switch hard drives
    - Delete Final Cut and reinstall newer version of final cut (since the capture files played fine on Final Cut 5.1 on another machine)
    - reinstall entire OSX 10.3.9, wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Final Cut 5.1
    - switch ram slots, and even replace ram with different sticks from another G4 machine
    None of these solutions worked. Is there some hardware problem with my G4 that is suddenly causing Final Cut to play audio and video out of sync?
    Hope you can help, otherwise this otherwise great G4 is going in the dumpster!
    Thanks

    For what it's worth, I'm having what looks to be the same problem. Driving me insane. Here's what's going on-
    Editing in FCP 6.0.2
    QT was just updated to 7.3.1 the other day (hmm)
    On an MacBookPro machine, OS 10.5.1
    Software updater says everything's up to date of course.
    DV-NTSC 24p (23.98) Advanced Pulldown Removal (footage was shot at 24PA on a DVX100b)
    In Quicktime, the file previews fine, everything's in sync, everyone's happy. In FCP, the video and audio are wildly out of sync. I did a test inside of quicktime and sliced out a small portion of the media clip and did a "save as" and this small slice played in sync in FCP. However, this did not work for the entire clip. Clip is weighing in at 5.58GB for a 32 minute run.
    I'm trying to multicam 2 tapes together and manually syncing these up is proving to be difficult at best. When anyone gets any ideas/leads/patches, let us know.
    Grr,

  • Audio and video out of sync on short recordings

    I've scanned the discussions and see that alot of posters are experiencing
    the same problem I'm having which is recording quicktime movies
    and getting audio and video out of sync.
    In most of those posts the responses seem to be that the problem gets
    bad if you're making a long recording. I'm experiencing that, but...
    ...I'm also having the same problem on really short recordings...less than a
    minute. I've coming video and audio out of my cable box, into a SONY DSR-11 VCR, then firewire out of the deck into the computer, recording the movies with Quicktime 7.1.6.
    I know it's coming out of the cable box and then out of the SONY deck via firewire in sync because when I log and capture through Final Cut Pro, audio and video are in sync in preview and playback. I don't want to use Final Cut Pro to capture the movies because I want to end up with MPEG4, and I'd have to go through an extra conversion process out of FCP.
    Any thoughts on why even short recordings through Quicktime are out of sync?
    Thanks.

    I'm having similar problems transferring VHS video to Quicktime. Another problem I'm having is when I transfer a VHS video to iMovie and then export the video to H.264 format, I have similar sync problems, even though the iMovie seems perfectly in sync.
    I'm going to try to transfer several alternative video formats (video from my cable DVR, Video from live TV, and video from a digital mini cassette to try and figure out whether the VHS format is the culprit. Will keep you posted.

  • Buffering pauses and audio/video out of sync, single RTMP stream w/ simple embed

    Hello,
    I am running Flash Media Server on my dedicated CentOS host, and finally connected a single RTMP stream fine and am able to embed and play back the stream, but I am getting constant buffering pauses (approx every 5 secs) and audio/video out of sync by at least 5 seconds. My CPU with Flash Live Encoder is a powerhorse, never over 25% processor or ram usage while streaming, and my upload internet speed is averaging 6-8 mbps which should be more than adequate. I fear the issue is server side, however port 1935 is open and in use, not firewalled on CPU nor the host.
    Any suggestions would be great.

  • IMovie Problems: Photo import and audio-video out of sync.

    Photo import problem:
    Some times, I have problems importing photos onto my new project, the photos will appear to be that just one same photo when played. It does not transit to the other photos following the first, it's just stuck on the first. Is this just an issue with iMovie '11? Are there any other ways to resolve this problem?
    Audio-video out of sync:
    I've checked some other discussions but I'd like to raise this issue again for APPLE. There are problems exporting my 7-minute film - the video and audio go completely out of sync no matter what format I export it to. There are not a lot of clips used. I'm now trying the method to detach the audio files from the video, hopefully it works.
    These issues are bothering me, in addition to a failed firmware update on Mac OSX 10.7.2 a few weeks ago. I couldn't open my computer and I had to go to the Genius Bar to have them help me backup my files on my computer and reinstall the whole system again. Anyways, any help to the above iMovie issues are greatly appreciated. Just wish that Apple will address these current issues and not just focus on improving their products with awesome features ._.

  • SWF audio and video out of sync

    I'm trying to output a swf video (talking head). Originally I
    tried importing a wmv file but when I created the swf the audio and
    picture were out of sync which is no good for a talking head!
    I've tried to encode a flv version of the wmv using flash
    video encoder but then the swf has a blank screen. Has anyone got
    any ideas of how I can sync these too?
    Thanks!

    Hello again
    Yeah, full motion capture is a bit of an equine of a
    different hue. It's literally like turning on a camcorder and
    recording what you see. And as you have seen, you can't really edit
    things after the fact. Well, to a certain extent you can, but it's
    more like using a cheese slicer to trim off bits of the beginning
    and end or maybe the middle. And you can splice things together.
    But it's nothing like the screen capture mode and editing you can
    do that way.
    So I suppose we need more information on exactly how things
    are working on your vmware setup. You say that Print Screen doesn't
    work there? I'm guessing there is maybe a conflict with the key.
    Have you tried assigning a different key? Or possibly just try
    clicking the mouse when you see the splash screen. Usually a mouse
    click will trigger a screen capture.
    Or are you maybe running Captivate on the remote machine and
    attempting to capture while driving things remotely? If so, I'm
    unsure if that would even work. But thought I'd ask.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Video out of sync in Final Cut Express... but in sync everywhere else!

    'm working on making one video that is composed of two camera angles of the same thing. So, I have two video tracks in Final Cut Express, one for the side view, and one for the main view. Both videos are Quicktime Movies (.mov extension).
    Here are the file details:
    Main Cam: duration - 1hr 26min 46sec // file size - 5.74gb
    Side Cam: duration - 1hr 29min 18sec // file size - 5.63gb
    [the side cam video is a little longer because I started filming with that camera a little bit before the main cam and stopped the filming a little earlier]
    Now, here's the problem. Both videos are in my Final Cut Express project. The Main Cam video runs fine. But the Side Cam video's video is out of sync with the audio by a lot (somewhere between 2 and 6 full seconds). Normally I would think that something had happened during the filming, but here's the odd thing: the Side Cam video plays perfectly in sync out of Final Cut Express.
    If I open it in Quicktime, or even in iMovie, the audio and video are perfectly in sync for the entirely of the video. But when I import it into FCE and watch it there, whether it's in the timeline, in the viewer, rendered, or unrendered (I've tried them all), it's horribly out of sync.
    So, the video plays fine and in sync everwhere except for in the Final Cut Express program. The Main Cam video, which has a very similar duration and file size and which is the same file type, plays perfectly even in FCE. The only problem is the Side Cam, and I can't figure out why this is, or how to fix it.
    Another thing: these videos were not captured from a camera into Final Cut. I already have the video files on the computer, and as I've said, the audio is fine there. To get them into FCE, I use file -> import.
    Also, if anyone has suggestions on how to fix this, could you provide directions of some sort? I'm fairly new to Final Cut.
    Any advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
    Thank you so much in advance!

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Does both camcorders was set to 16-48 khz audio?
    One way to synch audio that drifting from video (or from anoter audio lenght) is to set precisely 2 markers (one near the beginning, another near the end) in the correct lenght video track. Try to find spots where you can hear and see a common reference. The result of the workaround will put a corrected audios between those points only.
    Now note the duration between those 2 markers in video track.
    *Unlink the video/audio clip with the wrong duration.*
    Select the drifting audio and put the 2 markers at the intended reference points.
    The duration should be less or more than the video.
    Use the blade tool to cut the wrong lenght audio at markers.
    The tips is to set a new duration for this portion with the set speed command.
    With this +new duration+, align the in point of audio with the first video marker. The out point of audio should be aligned with the second video marker.
    Now the audio should match the video lenght and should be in synch.

  • Audio Tracks and Video Out of Sync!!

    I am having a problem with not only the video and audio being out of sync, but the audio tracks, left and right, are out of sync with each other. I know it isn't the camera or tape because I watch the footage while it's capturing and it is fine, plus it happens all the time, with different tapes and different cameras. What would cause this and how do I fix it? Also, how do I set my preferences to automatically start the camera when I click capture? I have it set on my iMac but I can't find it on my G5.

  • Video out of sync

    We have now 5 Final Cut pro machines that have replaced old media 100s. We are using the AJA Kona Cards and Sony Beta Cam Decks. UVW1800's I think. We are running component out to the deck and then composite out of the Deck to the Monitors. The video is in sync to the deck but not to the monitors. It will playback in sync once recorded. But the signal from the kona card going through the deck to the monitor is out of sync. I have tried lots of things including using sync generators (black bursts) but nothing seems to keep it in sync. Even once in sync the video will roll. It is I realize more an issue for the editor as the final product is in sync but does anyone have any clue as to why I am having this problem?
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Final Cut Pro HD

    Are you playing the audio thru the card too, or monitoring it out from the computer directly? Because if you monitor it from the computer then there will be a delay. But from the card or deck, there shouldn't be.
    Also try posting this at www.creativecow.org in the AJA forum. That place if full of AJA users.

  • Video out of sync with audio when using airphoil

    Hey I was wondering if it was possible for me to use airfoil with a movie. It's just that there is a time delay in the sound there for the video and sound go completely out of sync.
    Note: Airphoil is like using airtunes speakers.Airphoil is an app that allows someone to transmit sounds from any app to a bass station instead of just from iTunes.

    yes, many users reported having made that same observation. seems like the app still needs some improvement. on the other hand, it may be a limitation of airtunes ...

  • Audio and video out of sync

    I have captured tapes from my DVD camera and am in the process of editing clips and have noticed that the video and the audio are slightly out of sync.
    How can I correct this?

    I don't think it was a "DVD" camera!
    Often sync problems are caused by recording the audio at a different setting than the Easy Setup capture preset.
    The normal DV-PAL or NTSC Easy Setup is for 16bit audio.
    If you recorded at 12 bit you need the "DV-PAL (or NTSC) 32KHz" Easy Setup.

  • Audio video out of sync?

    Every movie I have rented and purchased the audio is out of sync with the video. If I pause the movie sometimes it goes back into sync but doesn't last long before it goes out of sync again. I have been trying to resolve this issue for the past week. I have turned off everything on the computer that manages audio, made sure all drivers and software is up to date. I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled. I've set itunes and windows bit rate the exact same and nothing seems to fix the problem. I am running Windows 8 on a new Samsung laptop, previously I was using a Gateway laptop with no problems. From my reasearch the past couple days i see this has been on on going problem with itunes users and I hope someone has a fix. I just rented a movie from Xbox Video and it worked perfectly. I think I am going to have to make the switch to Xbox but I have movies I have downloaded to itunes and would like to watch them.
    Any help would be appreicated.

    Hello bjwilson22,
    I was researching the symptom you describe and reocmmend this article named Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1718
    It is pretty length, but also thorough and I feel has the best advice to help troubleshoot the issue.

  • Audio/Video Out of Sync (PE 10)

    I have read some posts regarding this, but they have not been helpful.
    I recordered audio/video with an ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T in 720p .mp4 format.
    When importing into Premiere Elements 10 on a Windows 7 (64bit) PC, the audio and video are sometimes out sync when editing, and when they are rendered to the final product, they are always out of sync.
    I have tried changing to other formats (.avi), as some people stated that variable frame rate issues can come up when using a non-camcorder to record video, but the .avi actually made it worse, to the point that only the audio played.
    I turned my PC off and on again, and killed all background actions on the PC.  The video plays fine in Windows Media Player and VCPlayer.
    If anyone has advice as to how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.  I've spent 7 hours on this project, and am more frustrated than ever.
    Thank you.

    I have downloaded your AVCHD.mp4 video, checked its properties, and studied its performance in Premiee Elements 10 Windows 7 64 bit from the point of view of import, playback of rendered Timeline in Edit Mode monitor, and playback of an AVCHD.mp4 export of that Timeline content. I stared into the monitor to watch the lip movements as the sound played  back. In any of the following I have not observed any out of sync audio.
    MediaInfo basic properties included
    a. AVCHD video compression, frame size 1280 x 720 @ 15.119 progressive frames per second (variable frame rate with minimum = 13.501 and maximum at 18.793)
    b. AAC audio, mono.
    Premiere Elements 10 project preset that I used was
    NTSC
    AVCHD
    AVCHD LITE 720p24
    In Project media, Interpret Footage told me that it recognized a frame rate of 15.0710.
    Rendered the Timeline content and watched the lip movement as I listened to the audio. No out of sync audio.
    For export,
    Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    Presets = MP4 HD720p24
    under the Advanced Button/Video Tab, I set for 1220 x 720 @ 15 progressive frames per second. The export settings dialog under Advanced Button/Video Tab looked like the following
    I watched the playback of this AVCHD.mp4 export and again did not observe any out of sync audio.
    All video playbacks were with Windows Media Player 12.
    Have you worked specifically with the video clip that you provided for download? If you have and you
    found out of sync audio, then I am suspecting that this might be a system rather than a video problem.
    It is a way out stretch, but...there have been some strange display goings on with Premiere Elements 10 and NVIDIA video card drivers recently. For all these cases, the answer has been rolling back the video card driver instead of the typical "making sure you have the latest version of the driver installed". What video card are you using in your computer?
    Please review and then we can decide what next.
    Just a note...this is a public forum with many viewing. Please do not post anything that would invade your privacy or is of a personal nature.
    Looking forward to your follow up.

  • Audio & Video out of sync in itunes but not quicktime

    My audio and video has never been in sync in itunes. It has been years since I have been able to watch a movie using iTunes. When I use quicktime, everything is fine, but when I use itunes, the audio and video falls out of sync. I have tried all of the suggested steps from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718

    I'm constantly updating my drivers and as of today (7/24/11) I have everything up to date.
    Does ANYONE know whats going on?! I love using iTunes, but this is just rediculous!

    I have the exact same issue, it is preventing me from using iTunes to purchase Movies and TV Shows.
    I too have an Intel i7 - 6GB RAM, and GTX 460.
