After doing Video "Stabilization" the audio has little dead spots

After putting together a short video Project < 4 minutes (1440CBR) I decided to do some Stabilization for the first time ever. Went to the Inspector/Video/Stabilization and selected a clip and used the Stabilization defaults: 2.5/2.5/2.5 (Transition/Rotation/Scale). During playback (after rendering) I noticed some very short little dead spots in the audio. The VU meters indicate "zero" during the dead spots and these have a length of a fraction of a second.
I tried Stabilization on a few other clips, experimented around with the settings and set either Scale Smooth to "0" and this didn't seem to have any effect other than possibly faster processing. Did some Stabilization on a few other Project clips and a similar thing happened to a varying degree.
Other settings:
Audio Enhancements: Loudness 0, Background noise removal initially 50 but now 0, Hum removal 0. These were initially unchecked.
With regard to what Stabilization does on handheld shots I'm very impressed. However, dead spots in the Audio, no matter how short, is unacceptable.
Does anybody have an idea what is, or might be, going on here?

  • After exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    after exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
    You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
    (note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
    Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

  • After Effects rendering the video with the audio out of sync

    so, the thing is, i did the animation on flash, exported it, put it on after to edit audio and what not, everything looks fine, previews are good, so, lets render!... every time i render the final video have the audio out of sync, specially the audio that is already on the first video. the video its originally on 12 fps, if i change the interpretation to 24fps, everything get worse. any help?

  • IDVD halts after encoding videos but before audio

    I have made many iDVD's of our travel pictures, including both pictures and videos. However, my current iMovie won't complet e the process and always stops after encoding the videos but does not encode the audios. At that point, the gumball just sets there and spins for many hours (overnight, etc.) and when using the "force quit" the drop down says iDVD not responding" in red. I have tried about 5 times with no result. Any suggestions as to what I should do will be appreciated. Thank you. R. L. Anderson, M.D.

    Hang in there. This is "Normal." In fact, contrary to what the computer is telling you, the computer is processing the audio.
    Adding audio to your iMovie causes this problem. There are two work arounds.
    1. Export your iMovie back to your camcorder, then input the movie back into a new iMovie, add your chapters and export to iDVD. The audio encoding may hang up but it will only be for a few minutes.
    2. Export iMovie as a Quicktime movie, then reimport the Quicktime movie to iMovie, add chapters, export to iDVD.
    If you search this the iDVD forum for "audio encoding" you'll see loads of messages on this topic.

  • I am trying to import video and the audio doesn't upload with the video. Help.

    I am trying to import video and the audio doesn't upload with the video. Help.
    I upgraded to iMovie 11 because the previous version wouldn't read the type of video I was importing (VOB).  The video imports but not the audio, what do I do?

    What are you capturing from?  You may not hear the auido as it's captured but it will be there.  After it's captured can you see the audio waveforms? Do the audio meters move when you play the clip?  If so then go to "View" then "Audio Playback"  and set it to 'Built-in Output" if you're monitoring audio through the computer.

  • The last few times I've used headphones in my iPad, the audio has been all messed up to the extent where it's better to just use the internal speakers and not the headphones. I've tried multiple pairs of headphones to no avail. Help?

    The last few times I've used headphones in my iPad, the audio has been all messed up to the extent where it's better to just use the internal speakers and not the headphones. I've tried multiple pairs of headphones to no avail.
    The iPad was bought in mid-June, but I did not get extended Apple-Care warranty on it. Any idea of what's happenening?

    Multiple means how many? If only 2 or 3, they could all be faulty. Try the headphones in some other device, to make sure they are OK. Or there could be something wrong with the headphone port.
    Your iPad is still covered by the 1-year warranty so you should make a Genius appointment and have it looked at.
    Another thing to try is to plug in the headphone jack a few times in succession to see if it frees up something inside the port.

  • My iPhone 4s was stolen almost a week ago now.  If I can still see the phone listed in Find My iPhone but appears to be turned off does this mean the theif has not restored it to factory settings???

    My iPhone 4s was stolen almost a week ago now.  If I can still see the phone listed in Find My iPhone but appears to be turned off does this mean the theif has not restored it to factory settings???

    Are you sure?  I have other devices at home.  The only way I can make them disappear on the tracking list is by turning off location or resetting to factory settings. 
    I just want to make sure I'm not tracking a phantom that I will never recover :-(

  • IMovie: I uploaded HDV video from a Canon HV20 and then to YouTube. The video and the audio are out of sync. The audio seems to precede the video by a tiny bit which is disconcerting. Any recommendations about how to correct this? Thank you.

    I downloaded video via iMovie from my Canon HV20. The video was in HDV. I then published it to YouTube and Vimeo and in both cases, the audio is out of sync: the video precedes the audio by a fraction of a second. The original is fine as viewed in the camera.
    Any suggestions as to why and how to correct it?
    Thank you,

    No. If you want an extended warranty you still must purchase it. It is not included with education pricing.

  • When watching fox news clips the video lags the audio as time progresses

    I use firefox as my browser. While on Foxnews I watch their news video's and as time progresses through the video clip, the video lags the audio. It gets worse and worse over time. This happens on msnbc etc.

    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • Why does laptop stop the audio for a few seconds when I play a video then resume for the video?

    Hi I have a HP Pavilion G6 2288-ca with amd a10 vision processor. So I was playing some videos from youtube and the audio stoped and resumed a few seconds after.

    Flash is required for YouTube content.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Not empty the Safari cache.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Now try a video.

  • I have a clip with synchronized audio. When I trim a section of video it does not trim the audio. How do I trim both video and audio so that the clip remains in sync?

    Why is FCPX not allow me to cut both video and audio tracks at the same time?
    My separate synchronized audio does not trim when I trim the video. They are connected and synchronized.

    fulei wrote:
    The audio track does not edit along with the video. They go out of sync
    Sounds like a different problem than your trim problem in the first post. If your problem is they drift out of sync, we'd need to knoow more about the project and clip properties – including how the audio file you're syncing to was created.

  • When exporting separate audio and video streams, the audio drifts out of sync

    So this is my first slightly larger project in Final Cut Pro X.
    When I export my finished project (around 12 minutes long) straight to quicktime, it plays back perfectly.
    When I export using compressor, the resulting audio and video streams are two different lengths. The audio comes out a full second longer. If you try to lay them down in a program like Adobe Encore, the audio starts out perfectly in sync. Two minutes in you notice the video is slightly out of sync with the audio. By the end of the video it's comically bad, over a second out of sync.
    What's even more vexing is if I try to take the quicktime file that IS in sync upon playback, and try to convert it burn that to a dvd or blu-ray using toast, the problem re-emerges.
    I triec searching around, but most of the suggestions that came up were vauge, like, "Upgrade to a real program like Final Cut." (This was in reply to people who were using free software programs.)
    I did see one idea surface where 44 and 48 kHz sampling rates don't play well together. So I combed through my project and found all the 44.1 songs that were used, and swapped them out with upsampled versions. Nothing changed. It didn't sound like it would fix it, as people usually said it was a specific amount of frames off, not something drifting out of sync.
    So the question is, does anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing this? Thanks! :-)

    Project settings can be accessed and changed by selecting the project and pressing command-J. Then, in the inspector, click on the little gear in the lower-right hand corner to access the settings.
    Why are you trying to output video/audio separately? If the content plays in-sync when exporting a quicktime movie (using current project settings), you could try separating the video/audio using MPEG Streamclip as a second step instead of using compressor. For audio, don't change the sample rate from the project settings, and use uncompressed audio (AIFF) as the output format.
