Audio and video do not sync

The audio and video in idvd are fine. I burned my movie to a dvd. The audio is ahead of the video in several spots. I even went back to imovie and deleted the un-synced clips. I brought them back in as new. I still have the same problem????

Hi jopin
Welcome to apple discussions. Are you using a tape based mini dv camcorder by any chance? If so, most often audio sync issue actually starts in your camcorder's audio settings then over to iMovie and lastly to iDvd. Make sure that the video you are using is 16bit only and not 12bit. Check your camera settings. Chances are it's currently set to 12 bit as opposed to 16 bit audio. If you recently changed out a memory battery in the camera or camcorder, you may want to note that some camcorders default right back to 12 bit and you must make the extra effort to reset to 16 bit. Hopefully setting the audio on the camera to 16-bit will prevent future problems when it comes to out of sync audio. Just as important, make sure the camera is among those supported by iMovie (see link below). Please tell us exactly what type of camera or camcorder you used and which settings. Model numbers are helpful. Might wish to verify that your camera / camcorder is on this list:

I found the following "possible remedy" on the internet. Perhaps it will work (maybe not). You'll have to let us know.
1. Open iMovie by clicking the program icon on the dock at the bottom of the screen.
2. Choose "File," then "Import," then select the video file you have been attempting to burn onto a DVD. In a moment, the video file will load onto the screen.
3. Double-click the video file, then click "Share." From the pull-down menu, click "Export Movie using QuickTime." A new export window will appear on the screen.
4. Choose "Options" on the bottom of the screen, and a video/audio options display will appear. Click the audio options and choose the bit rate. Select "16-bit" as the bit rate and click "OK." Title the video and select a location to save the file to, then click "OK." The video file will export with the new bit rate.
5. Open iDVD and import the video into the program as you did before. Now click "Burn," and the DVD will copy onto the DVD, this time without any sync problems.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back. Good luck.

Do you have fix for Photo Booth Audio and Video are not syncing properly, Do you have fix for Photo Booth Audio and Video are not syncing properly

My audio and video are not syncing properly. There is a lag from the audio to the video. Does anyone have a permanent fix for Photo Booth where the Audio and Video are not syncing properly?

If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads. You aren't the only one having this problem.

Audio and Video are not synced up ONLY when viewed in full screen....?

Audio and Video are not synced up only when I view my project in full screen. I can watch it in the project viewer the audio and video play as they should. I have a presentation tomorrow and I can't figure this out. What am I doing wrong?

Have you updated to version 9.0.2 - this Software Update was released a couple of days ago and fixes audio sync problems as well as improving stability in iMovie '11.

MAC, importing GoPro 720 video at 120fps, the audio and video do not sync. Even after rendering, the audio and video are off by several seconds. Any recommendations? Thank you, Troy@

John:
Thanks for your reply. Excuse my referring to you as "Kevin". I'm new to the Adobe Community. I have also referenced another article which is seemingly a bit easier to fix for such a non-technical woman like myself. I'm going to try both solutions. Whichever works I'll be sure to reply to the thread with my findings. I found this article which provides the following solution: http://blog.flickharrison.com/2012/04/problem-solving-in-adobe-premiere-audio-glitches-and -sync/

Audio and video do not sync when exporting

the audio and video content do not sync when exporting to media browser or quicktime.. at times the audio is delayed, or ahead of the video

Wow, I was just about to post something similar. I've tried 4 different times, wasted a few dvds, and tried various ways of outputting to solve this...nothing. Here's my situation;
• I have a series of stills, with music underneath...kind of like a slide show.
• That ends, both music and visual, and I go to a black screen/slug that is :22, to give some breathing room before the video that follows. Also, the audio track fades out at the end of the stills...it does not continue into the slug.
• After the :22 of black, I fade into a video. HOWEVER, everytime I've done that, the AUDIO portion of that video is starting while there's still black on screen, then when the video comes in, it's way behind.
I've adjust the audio to now end before the slug, thinking that was somehow making iMovie go wonky. Didn't work. I've wasted a few dvds before I got smart and started checking before burning. And still, everytime, that section is not syncing, but, i syncs in iMovie, where I made the video.
This is HUGELY frustrating.

Audio and Video do not Sync on movie or TV show playback. Voice and video do not match

I am using the latest version of Itunes and the latest version of Quicktime and Windows 7 on a newer business level computer. On any movie or any TV show I rent or purchase, the video and audio do not match on playback. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes, Quicktime and have even reinstalled Windows 7 recently for other reasons. Nothing works. I have to hit pause for a second or two, then it will play OK for a few mins., but the problem returns. Any advice would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

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,

When streaming Vid with flash player, audio and video are not in sync

With Flash 11.6, audio and video are not in sync. Video is slower. Using Firefox 20.0.1

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:

K900 audio and video are not in sync.

Hi All,
New entry in this forum. I have this K900 phone and i think its an amazing piece or art. But not without its problems though. A perennial issue is when I am playing a video file, initially it plays smoothly but eventually the audio and video are not in sync. Dragging the slider left and right or pausing and playing agian only worstens the issue.
Have any body ever faced such issues? If yes kinldy share a solution if any.

In all your information, I did not see what computer operating system your Premiere Elements 12 is running on? Have you updated 12 to the 12.1 Update, using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so.
Your issue may relate to the details of your "VOB file" and how it was ripped/copied from the DVD-VIDEO and DVD disc to get it into a Premiere Elements project.
a. project preset set for NTSC DV Standard or NTSC DV Widescreen (whichever corresponded to your recording details)...or PAL equivalent.
b. DVD disc in burner tray
c. Add Media/DVD camera or computer drive/Video Importer/.....
It does not happened often, but if audio is out of sync and you are not using the above route, then consider the Command Prompt way described in the
following
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: DVD-VIDEO/Seamless VOB Ripping
A just in case note, contrary to some, it is not necessary to convert VOB (VTS_01_1.VOB video file and any files in that series) to any other format in Premiere Elements.
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thank you.

Audio and video are not synched

I'm just beginning with FXP X (8), and just added a file to my event library, and created a new project. Dragged my first clip into the story line, and discovered that the audio and video are not syched. This is original footage from a video camera, no modifications or added tracks. But clearly the words of the speaker on camera are not synched with the video, both in the event library and in the story line clip. Is this operator error (lol)? TIA for any help, I'm stuck on square one.

You can right click on your clip in the storyline and Detach Audio.
After that, you can slide the audio until it's in sync or if it changes sync over the length of the clip, there is a way to correct that as well.
First, in the video, skim the playhead until you can see something that will "mark" a specific start of a sound and set a Marker (type M). Then select the audio portion (already detached) and find the start of the matching sound and type M (adds marker to the audio.) Turn on snapping and slide the audio until the two markers snap.
If you need to correct sync drift, use the same technique for markers near the end of the clip, but instead of sliding the complete audio clip, Retime the audio clip (type command-R) (set the playhead over the video marker - snapping won't work when retiming) and adjust the end of the audio until the two markers match up. Preserve Pitch (from the Retime menu) should already be selected.

Why do my audio and video start in sync, then quickly go out of sync?

I've just installed Windows 8 and also purchased Premiere Elements 12.
I've also got Windows movie maker.
When I play my clips in Premiere Elements, they audio and video start of synced, but quickly go out. This doesn't happen with Windows Movie Maker and I had trialed some NCH video editing software also and didn't have that problem.
can someone tell me what I need to do to get this working right?

MASMAS
The first thing that we need to know are the properties of what you are putting on the Timeline. What works in another software does not necessarily work in Premiere Elements. Each program has its own supported formats.
a. What is the file extension for this file? .MOV or .MP4?
b. Does the iPad describe it as 1080p or 720p?
c. If you open Premiere Elements 12 and go to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General, what do you see for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio, even if those field appear to be grayed out.
Two immediate troubleshooting avenues are going to be in the direction of...
a. Project settings not set up to match the properties of the source from the iPad. Then we would start a new project and set the project setting manually before importing your video. Details for manually setting the project preset are in the following.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
b. The iPad video being recorded with a variable frame rate instead of a constant one...the remedy then would probably be to take your video in a program like HandBrake to change the variable to a constant frame rate. And after that, import the corrected video into the Premiere Elements project which has the correct project preset (preferably set manual to assure the correct result).
Please see what you can put together in the way of video details, and we will sort this out.
Thanks.

Compressor audio and video out of sync

I've edited DV video in FCPX (where audio and video are in sync), sent to Compressor, and added the Dolby and MPEG-2 settings to my submitted job. But when I add the output files to Toast, the audio and video are not in sync. Reviewing the video in Compressor, it appears they are out of sync there as well (though it's hard to tell due to the choppiness of the playback there).
Any idea why this is occurring?

Try filling each gap in the audio timeline AND / OR set your encoding to CBR (Constant Bit Rate), not VBR. In some cases the DECODING part tries to fill gaps by "pulling" the next part of the audio if the stream has been encoded with VBR. Good luck.

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.
