Audio delay in FCP

Hi all,
Have anyone of you ever (recentley) notized that once you hit play in FCP (version 7.0.2) the video starts playing emmideatley but the audio gets delayed by about 0.5 seconds? It is very annoying. It dosen't matter whether you're looking at the video in the viewer or in the canvas form the timeline. But once you hit the up arrow to go back to previous edit the audio if fine.
And also: why does songs get a huge offset all of a sudden once you trim them longer. It happens after you render.
Thanks

Might want to update to 7.0.3.  Never seen this problem.  How are you monitoring video and audio?  does audio follow video? 
Can't remember seeing this problem from anyone else. 
Have you deleted your preferences?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
Have you installed or upgraded any software or hardware recently?
Also, is your audio 48k 16 bit aiffs?  If not, convert to this format before you work with it in fcp.

  • 1-2 Second Audio Delay after installing windows 7

    I installed windows 7 on monday but whenever i do anything that has audio it is always delayed by -2 seconds.
    For example when playing Dragon Age Origins an npc's mouth moves then a second latter the audio finally comes.
    When listening to music it isnot that noticable since it is just audio but when i pause or stop it the audio continues for -2 seconds.
    When watching videos on Hulu it is the same as games where the voice comes about -2 seconds after the person's mouth moves.
    I have everything up to date via the auto updater and checked on here to verify the correct drivers are installed and they are indeed the latest.
    Everything worked fine when i had vista but this issue may not be big to some but since i am a big very gamer this is a major problem and if not fixed soon i will remove the card and use the crappy onboard sound.
    Any help fixin this issue would be greatly apreciated.
    Edit: Forgot to mention that i use the creative sound blaster x-fi titanium card
    Edit: I managed to fix it by deleteing EVERYTHING Creative and using ONLY the newest driver from the site, however doing this pretty much makes my card nothing more than a fancy onboard sound card since it doesn't have any of it's features.
    The updater doesn't detect my card and when it does and i install anything from the list i get this audio delay issue.

  • 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.

    Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
    However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD)  - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
    Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
    Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

  • Long Audio Delay

    I'm running on Mac 10.7.3 using the latest free trial of Adobe Connect.
    I'm experiencing very long audio delays (5 seconds or more) when in a meeting room. I've searched the forums and found this   Re: Long audio delay By jonturkle, posted Nov 20, 2008 by this doesn't seem to match my situation as I'm not in a hosted environment or behind any firewalls that would restrict ports. (Or at least I don't think anything like this should be going on)
    Video streams fine, so it doesn't seem to be a bandwidth problem, just a lag with audio.
    Has anyone got any ideas what might be causing this and how it can be fixed?
    Thanks
    James

    By free trial of Adobe Connect, are you talking about Hosted Trial? or did you build a server?
    If it's Hosted trial, then you are in a hosted environment.
    In the upper right corner of your meeting, see the vertical green bar.  Click that - to see your connection /latency.
    In the room, choose Meeting / Preferences.
    Set your preferences for bandwidth to DSL/Cable
    Then run the audio setup wizard.

  • Phantom audio pops in FCP 7

    I'm a working on an FCP 7 project with 10 audio tracks and am experiencing a phantom pop at a specific place in the timeline.
    Here's the weird part: I can not isolate the pop. When I turn off any one of the tracks, the pop disappears. It doesn't matter which track I turn off, the pop is gone. The pop also does not appear on any of the original tracks. I've tried replacing each and every one from the viewer to no effect.
    Also, if I play 15 frames before the pop, I don't hear it.
    When I output there's a colossal sound explosion at the pop point in the timeline.
    I've done the obvious things, trashed preferences. Deleted audio waveform cash and render files. But nothing works.
    I'm losing my mind and have to finish on Tuesday. Any help would be very much appreciated.
    FCP 7 and 10.6 both up to date. Quad-core MacPro with 16G RAM

    The likely cause is either:
    A) you have audio sources with different sampling rates mixed in the timeline. If this is the case, resample everything to 48khz/16bit.
    or
    B) You have overwhelmed the ability of FCP to mixdown the audio in Real Time. If this is the case, do an audio mixdown (look it up in FCP help) and/or increase the number of audio tracks for real time audio mixing in FCP's preferences. With 10 tracks used, I'd increase it to 12 or more. The setting can be found in the User Preferences>General section.

  • Audio crackling killing FCP audio but not in stand alone QT player

    I have a file I recorded in IShowU.
    When I load it into final cut every once in a while I get a large crack and pop from the audio that kills my speakers requiring a reboot. If I play it through headphones it still cracks but it doesn't kill the audio.
    If I play that EXACT same file in Quicktime stand alone player it plays perfectly. However, if I export the file from Final Cut and try to play it in Quicktime it has the same pops as it does in Final Cut.
    Any ideas?
    This is FCP 6.0.6

    Did you ever solve this problem? I'm having the same issue with some audio in a FCP project. It was fine last night, but when I hopped on my machine this morning to work on it, I played the project and now have a segment of audio where it just gives a large pop/crackle and kills the speakers. If I have my headphones in, it keeps playing and there is the loudest static you've ever heard. The weird part is there is other segments of audio from the same clip in other parts of the video and they're fine. Additionally, when previewing the segment that crackles in the viewer window, there aren't any problems. It only happens in the timeline.

  • Don't wanna load audio plugin in FCP

    I don't wanna load audio plugin in FCP 5 (audio plugin from Protools and Logic that sharing plugin)
    Who know how to unload that third party audio plugin ?
    Thank you for every answer.

    Version is FCP-X 10.1 with OSX 10.7.2
    I use the Ctl-Shift-S to detach the audio from the video, then I can create a single audio-only storyline for the whole project (grouping and using Cmd-G) and add transitions etc to it. It is sometimes difficult to get it to work because the usual "snap" function which works well for video doesn't always work accurately enough for audio (much shorter "frames") so you sometimes get a few samples overlap, a few samples gap between clips or a few samples of a spurious audio clip between clips which are invisible except at sample zoom - and the transition complains of "not enough media". I have had to learn various tricks to get this sorted out!
    However, before I go any further - I have found the problem. If I replace the clips in the audio storyline from the original media then the transition works properly. It's something to do with what I was doing to the clips before I broke them apart.
    Before I learnt this "separate audio storyline" procedure I was detaching every other audio clip, creating overlaps and using the fade handles. The projects where I used this technique originally, then converted to the "audio-only" storyline are the ones having the trouble. If I start from the raw audio/video storyline, detach the audio and make the separate "audio-only" storyline directly then the transitions work perfectly as they should. If I have previously fiddled with the fade handles, overlaps etc then some of the transitions don't work in the new storyline!

  • Turn off the audio delay?

    My question is pretty straightforward and simple.
    Is there any way that I can turn off the ~2 seconds audio delay from the AirPort Express audio output?
    Thanks!

    Not really.
    iTunes uses a QuickTime CODEC to convert audio files to Apple Lossless, and then, uses AirTunes to send them to the AX. In turn, the AX uses built-in software that converts the Apple Lossless to an Encoded Digital Audio format. From there, digital audio is sent to a optical transceiver to convert the electrical signal to an optical one before sending it to the innermost part of the audio port. For analog, the AX has a built-in DAC to convert the Encoded Digital Audio to Analog which is sent to the same audio port.
    One operational glitch is the fact that, as the AX doesn't have a local clock circuit, when the incoming data is interrupted, as it is when you change songs in iTunes, there is no longer a digital output to feed the DAC, which loses lock as a result. This is typically "heard" as the delay you are experiencing.

  • Audio delay when call is answered, CUCM 8.0

    I have a client who is reporting an audio delay when a call is made to an external number. Call setup is fine and ringing begins immediately after the last digit is dialed.  When the called party answers there's a 1 or 2 second delay before either party can hear each other.
    Outbound calls are routed to a SIP trunk.  I am suspecting that an MTP is required but checking that off causes all calls to fail. 
    I then discovered that the only MTP defined in CUCM is the default and this is in a different device pool than the SIP trunk with the delay issue.
    Before I got through a possilbe hardware purchase (router, dsps, etc.) for the site with the problem I was hoping someone could confirm that this may in fact be the issue.
    Thoughts?

    Under older versions of CUCM, you can set that same parameter as a global Service Parameter for the CallManager process.You can try that. Newer versions pushed the setting down to the individual trunk level. Be aware the global setting will affect all calls on all SIP trunks, so test carefully after the change.

  • Audio missing in FCP after export

    Hi
    So I have an audio track in FCP which I sent to STP and added a limiter and reduce noise filter to. Saving it and going back to FCP I notice that 2 seconds are missing from the end of the audio.
    I sent the referenced clip with no handles.
    Now my sound is out of sync.
    Thanks
    Joe

    Did you do a Send to a Multitrack Project?
    STP expects to see 48k audio coming from FCP and send aiff 48k back as an exported file.

  • Audio Delay In Timeline

    Hello Everyone
    It's me again still having audio problems. The next problem is there's a audio delay in the timeline, someone is speaking and I can see the video and audio not in sync.
    How can I fix this problem?
    Thank yoy
    Sabrina

    First, how are you viewing this? You need to view on an external NTSC monitor or TV at the very least. Viewing on your computer screen may not be accurate.
    Is the delay consistent over time, or does audio drift further out of sync over time?
    Do you see a red number at the top left of a clip, next to the clip name? If so, control-click on the red number and correct the sync there.
    If no red number, it could be something else. What tape format? How was it captured?
