Audio and video sync - could someone help me ?

Hello
I'm looking for a solution to synchronise imported audio with captured video on final cut pro, more precisely than at one frame...
For the moment I use soundtrack pro to do it, but it takes a lot of operations and time...
It would be very helpfull for me to be able to do it.
So, thanks for your replies and have a good day.

1) Open the audio clip in the Viewer
2) Move the Playhead to the In point, then press Command = (Command + equal sign) to zoom in as far as possible on the waveform
3) Press and hold the Shift key and use your mouse to position the playhead to a better point of sync with 1/100 of a frame accuracy
4) Mark In
5) Edit the clip into the Timeline

TIMECODES are important for audio and video sync issues

Hello, just wanted to pass on what I learned so that others can avoid the trouble that I've had to go through. Perhaps this may help someone who is stuck on the launch pad. :)
BOTTOM LINE: Info for the beginner. Audio and video not in sync in Premiere Pro CS3 V3.2.0
PROBLEM: Capture works great it seems. When I go to the folder that contains the captured file and view in Windows Media Player audio and video are in sync. BUT when viewing the video asset in the source and program monitors, the audio and video are not in sync.
SOLUTION:
Before capturing a tape make certain the following is checked:
(1) Edit->Preferences->Capture->Use device control timecode
(2) Edit->Preferences->Device Control->Options->Timecode Format
(3) Project->Project Settings->General->Video->Display format
As for the devices timecode choose something other than Auto Detect. Then match the project timecode with what was chosen during capture. The projects display format could of course be set to frames.
I searched everywhere for audio and video sync issues in google, adobe forums, F1 help, and hv20.com and everyone was talking about:
(1) Presets: 1080p30 vs. 1080i30 (60i).
(2) brakes in the tape where timecode for the audio and video get misaligned during capture.
But choosing the correct hardware settings and timecodes to solve audio and video sync issues never popped up.

Must be an HDV only issue because my synch is always perfect.

Having trouble Audio and Video Syncing on iTune

Having trouble Audio and Video Syncing on iTune anyone know how to repair?

Here are two suggestions:
If everything is pretty much in sync until 17 minutes in, do a re sync every ten minutes. This should ensure that, even if the sync drifts by a few frames over 10 mins, the video will not seem distinctly out of sync at any time.
Another approach would be to do an overall re-sync in QuickTime Pro (which I believe is part of the FCP package).
You would need to use QTPro to trim,the video file to remove any surplus seconds of material at the beginning and end. Then open the audio file in QT Pro and trim that if necessary. It may be a slightly more complicated to do this at the beginning because, if the audio does not come in immediately, you'll need to make sure that you have the right amount of silence at the start of the file to match the video before the audio begins. This should leave you with video and audio files of the same length.
Then, in the drop menus of your QT, select and copy the audio track. Switching to the QT video file, in the drop down menus, click on add track.
Hope one or other of these May be some help to you.

Sign out from Find My Phone in iCloud, and sign out from your Apple ID in Settings/iTunes & App Store
Then setup as a new phone with iTunes and when your Daughter sets it up for the first time she can add or set up her own Apple ID.

Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My Ipad reboots over and over again could someone help with my problem?

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.

Audio and Video Sync

Hey Gang,
Reaching the point of frustration with a relatively simple Imovie project I'm trying to create. I've imported 2 separate groups of .mov files created by a utility that extracted the video from a DVD (DVDxDV). In both cases, the problems began when I selected multiple files to import. The first file would come in okay but by the time the last one was imported the audio was completely out of sync and played the same section of audio for all the video. It seemed I could overcome this by importing the files one at a time until I found that even after doing this and having the files import correctly, over time the audio and video would get out of sync within imovie.
i have all the imports in a particular event and begin to drag segments to my new project. If i close I movie and come back to it later, the audio and video in the project starts to become out of sync. It then usually starts to happen when I preview the video in the event window as well. Importing requires so much time that deleting entire events and projects and starting over is driving me bananas.
Has anyone experienced this before or have any ideas as to what's going on?
Imovie 08 build 7.1.2 (577)
macbook with lots of free drive space.
no updates are available for imovie.
the problem is occurring within imovie before I export to anything.
Help!

I am having the same problem. I am trying to use different video clips for talks. Once I have more than one clip in the video library, it plays audio from the first clip for all video??? Would love to figure this out.

Logic 9 Audio and Video sync at beginning timecode, but not in the middle of playback.

Hey Guys,
I'm working on a Trailer for a feature length, and my video playback is pretty screwy.
I've double checked the video to be 23.976 framrat and set my project to that framrate, and I've done what I normally do with bitrate and sample rate. But currently my audio and video will not sync together when I start playback in the middle of my project.
Playback works fine in the start of the project, and everything looks and sounds great. But as I'm writing and edtiting further on in the project all the audio gets out of sync. If I start the project from the beginning, then all of the MIDI for the whole piece registers as synced, and the project sounds and looks great the whole way through. The problem comes from starting playback anywhere in the middle of the project.
I'm working with a .mov file (1:45 minutes); three .AAC audio files, and plenty of thrid-party plug-ins. 10.7.5 Mac OS X, 2.2 GHz i7 core, and 4GB m
of memory.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!

Thanks guys for the input.
I am using an Aurora 16 via firewire
I did change my buffer settings and that seemed to fix it but now I am at 128. I moved over to the aurora because I preferred the extra headroom. I guess I should have stuck with the apogee.
Tonight was the first time I had the opportunity to do a full tracking session with 9. I have been doing quiet a bit of mastering with no issues. Quiet a few issues. Everything from logic quitting to it just locking up. So far.....a pretty bad experience. I wonder if it could be Snow Leopard.......

Audio and video sync problem

Hi,
I have a problem with audio and video synchronization. I'm using Merge class to merge video and audio tracks. But audio track can be shorter then whole video track (for example video length: 2 min., audio length 1 min.). When I merge them everything is OK. After that I'd like to concatenate more tracks (generated from merge) into one final video file. For this purpose I'm using Concat class.
But here is the problem, after I concatenate all these tracks then the result video is OK but audio is synchronized right after the previous audio track ended. (If I have video1- 2min. audio1 - 1min., video2 - 2min., audio2 - 30 seconds, then second audio2 starts in 1,30 min right after the first audio track. But I want to start it when the second video2 starts.) Do you have any ideas??

Thanks for help in advance.

Ok thanks.
I tried to implement PullBufferDataSource and everything went ok, the audio .wav file was generated, but when I run that file, the length is 0 and not the lenght I wanted (40.00). Where can be a problem?
Here is the code I wrote/changed:
TimeDataSource tds = new TimeDataSource(40.00);
Processor p;
try {
    System.err.println("- create processor for the image datasource ...");
    p = Manager.createProcessor(tds);
} catch (Exception e) {
    System.err.println("Yikes! Cannot create a processor from the data source.");
    return false;
}I set content type to WAVE:
// Set the output content descriptor to QuickTime.
p.setContentDescriptor(new ContentDescriptor(FileTypeDescriptor.WAVE));I use DataSource as the next:
    class TimeDataSource extends PullBufferDataSource {
                 private double duration;
                 TimeSourceStream streams[];
                 public TimeDataSource(double duration) {
                  this.duration = duration;
                  streams = new TimeSourceStream[1];
              streams[0] = new TimeSourceStream(40);
          @Override
          public PullBufferStream[] getStreams() {
               return streams;

                    this.duration = duration;

               buf.setEOM(true);
               buf.setOffset(0);
               buf.setLength(0);
               ended = true;

Audio and Video syncing issues

I have a video file where the audio and video file are normal when I play the clip in Quicktime. When I import the file into an FCP project and drag it into the timeline, the audio and video are no longer synced. My sequence setting is ProRes422 as is my video clip. The only difference I can see is that my clip is 24 bit integer and the sequence is 32 bit floating point. Although, this is my 50th project capturing old BetacamSP tapes and all my projects say this and I haven't had a problem until this particular file and not afterwards. Any thoughts?

There you go then ... make sure you monitor audio and video by the same path ie both via the Kona card or both on the Mac ... or use the Playback Offset to compensate for the delay between the Canvas window and the Kona output.
From the manual:
To set the frame offset between the computer display and the external video and audio outputs
Choose Final Cut Pro > System Settings.
Click the Playback Control tab.
Enter a number of frames in the Frame Offset number field.
Frame offset can be any whole number between 0 and 30. The default value is 4. For example, if a video monitor connected to your DV camcorder shows your program four frames later than your computer display, a frame offset of 4 will synchronize the two.
Note: Depending on your external monitor configuration, you may need to experiment with frame offset values to synchronize the external monitor and the computer display.
Click OK.
Play your video in the Canvas or Viewer and compare the video offset between your external monitor and your computer display.
If the computer display and external monitor are still not synchronized, repeat steps 1 through 5 using different frame offset values until the display and monitor are in sync.

After Effects CS6 renders audio and video separately. Please help!

Trying to render a finished video so that I can upload it to Youtube, but having extreme rendering difficulties. The only way my audio and video are combined in one file is when I export the project as a lossless AVI. Best quality for sure, but the size is MUCH too massive. Any other format I try always separates the audio and video. I have no idea why. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sure thing, here you go. If there is anything anyone else needs to see please let me know.

How to fix problems between audio and video sync?

Hello, I have this old camera DSR 200P and I'm trying to import to my final cut pro x. The importation success well but at the end the syncro between audio and video doesn't work. How can I fix it?
It's possible my mac doesn't accept this kind of camera or should I change any options of final cut?
Thank you

I use to edit footage for a client that was recorded on a DSR-250 (successor of the DSR-200) and every time, every single time, the audio sampling rate would not match my Sequence settings of 48khz, 16bit. The sampling rate of the captured video was always off by a slight amount. It might be 47999.9 one time and 48000.1 the next time ... but it was never at 48000 as it should have been. I chalked it up to Sony using cheap synthesized crystals (frequency generator) to control the rate.
Anyway, the fix was to export the captured clip using QuickTime Pro with the export's audio settings to 48khz, 16 bit.

Audio and Video Don't Match - HELP

So I have imported some footage from my iPod Nano into iMovie. I drag it ALL into the box above to edit, then play a bit to make sure it's viewing fine. The first minute or two is fine, but then the audio and visual part start to not match up. I know I can seperate the audio from it, but then I am unable to make all the jumpcuts, cutting out audio as well.
Hoping someone can help me as soon as possible. This is a vlog for my YouTube channel. Thank you!

This happened to me when my original is recorded with broken timecode.
Try to rerecord the video firewire to firewire to another recorder and record it to your FCP.
