Audio Drifting Out Of Synce when Exporting to Quicktime

Using FCS2 and all material is HDV 1080i60 with audio 48k. Everything in my sequence plays and renders fine and is in sync. When I export to quicktime movie using current settings the sound goes slowly out of sync so that by the end of the project the sync is horrible and the actual project is short 11 or so frames??
Any suggestions?? I have always done this in the past with no problems but since switching to FCS2 I have had nothing but problems when this comes up.

I had a similar problem when I exported a 20 minute video to an .flv Playback looked and sounded fine but the .flv file direct out of Final Cut was out of sync with audio. I finally used the Render Manager under tools to remove all renders for that sequence and then just re-rendered in one shot. That export was clean. I had tried to break renders and re-render them but it didn't work, but the Render Manager seemed to fix what ever caused it. I haven't noticed again since on any other projects. Good Luck.

  • Why does my audio slip out of sync when exporting?

    I am exporting an HD edited video. I shot 1280x720 & editing in FCP 6.0.5. I am using APPLE PRO RES 422 1280x720 30fps 48kz . Should it be (HQ)?? - I do not select re-compress all frames or make self-contained. I just want a QT reference file to view and then burn a DVD. My clip is 43 minutes long. HOWEVER, the audio drifts out of sync BIG TIME. Why is that??
    Here are my sequence settings:
    1280x720 Aspect Ratio HDTV 720p (16:9)
    Square Pixels
    H.264
    Audio at 48kHz

    That's what I thought, however, when I play back the .mov file after exporting using "current settings", that's when I experience OUT OF SYNC audio. Do I ignore that and drag and drop that file into iDVD and let iDVD crunch it??? Is it just the playback of that .mov file that is out of sync?

  • Rate Stretch audio goes out of sync when exported.

    Audio, which is rate stretched using the rate stretch tool to 100.01%, plays fine in Premiere Pro CS6. However, when exported to Encore or to MPEG-2 file, the audio is no longer stretched and becomes out of sync by the end of the video. When I play the preview in Encore, the audio is out of sync. Switch back to Premiere, it is OK. Export a MPEG-2 file and author a DVD, the audio is out of sync. Go back to Premiere, it is OK. I record the audio using a TASCAM portable recorder. I have recorded and synched audio many times and this is the first time that it does not work, on two separate Premiere projects. Any ideas on how to fix this. Even better, is there a way to record audio so that it matches the video (from a Panasonic HD AVCHD camcorder) without requiring rate stretch adjustment?

    Try changing the speed with right click, Speed/Duration instead of using the Rate Stretch tool.

  • Slideshow audio gets out of sync when exported to iDvd

    I made a large slideshow for a 40th anniversary party. It has 244 images & 7 songs. It is 29 min 54 seconds long. When I view the slideshow in iPhoto it works fine & the last image ends right at the end of the last song.
    When I exported it to iDvd, the audio gets out of sync with the video. By the end of the first song, the video is about 2 seconds ahead. By the end of the last image, the last song is cut of by about 30 to 45 seconds. I tried exporting the slideshow directly to iDvd. I also exported it as a large movie & it did the same thing.
    I'm using a 17" 1.67ghz powerbook with 1.5 gigs of ram.
    I'm using OS 10.4.2.
    I'm using iPhoto 5.0.4
    I'm using iDvd 5.0.1
    The images are scanned tiffs. I also have jpegs that I shot with my canon eos digital rebel xt.
    Anybody have any ideas or work-arounds?

    I suggest you either use iDVD to create two slideshows or use iMovie to get all 277 images and the 8 audio tracks into one slideshow. If you use iMovie after you get the slideshow/movie put together and completed quit iMovie. Then go into the iMovie project package (Control-click and select Show Package Contents). The find your movie in the Shared Movies folder and drag it into an open iDVD menu. This allows iDVD to to the rendering of the stills and give you a sharper image. That movie file you're dragging is a reference movie so leave it where it is and just drag it into iDVD's window.
    If you can live with two separate slideshow (consider it a potty break between the two) and you don't have or need the Ken Burns effect, you can get excellent results by building the slideshows with iDVD from imported stills. The sync to audio in this method works as advertised. I like to add a blank slide at the end of the slideshow so the music fades out during a blank, black slide.

  • Audio/Video out of sync when exporting to MPEG4

    I am working on a project that is being edited on FCP 5.1.4
    Anyhow, there is problem when exporting to MPEG4- the audio/video is out of sync.
    Sequence settings show 29.97 editing base with 48 mhz sound, which is the same as the MPEG 4 settings, but they are not in sync. Anyone encounter this problem? I've never had this problem before previously.
    Thanks
    Caitlyn

    Hi Harm,
    last time you suggested the same but  I wouldn't know how to take the BM card out of the equation. I only have on station. If I export to Beta SP there is no problem.

  • 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.

  • Audio drifts out of sync since Quicktime 7.6 update!

    Help!
    Seems like ever since i updated the Quicktime to 7.6 my uncompressed 8 or 10 bit sequences for playout to digital betacam drifts out of sync over time!
    But when i just go to the end of the sequence and hit play, everything seems fine.
    I just restarted to my old Tiger system and there the problem doesn't seem to be there.
    Any ideas??
    I use the blackmagic Multibridge Extreme.
    Another strange thing is that when i playout to HD, there is also no problem!
    Thank you for your time,
    Steve Pittoors

    I have had my audio drift out of sync also, not with Betacam, but DV. I basically send the audio from FCP to STP and tweek the audio, and then on export back to FCP it adds about 10 frames worth of audio. It starts in sync and then drifts by the end of the sequence. I have had no problems with shorter sequences - ie. 30 sec. The one I am working on now is just over 6 minutes. What is weird is that the sequence length in both FCP and STP are the exact same, but when I export back it drifts and adds in the extra frames.
    I tried fiddling with all the framerate settings in STP and it still does it.
    I posted last night in FCP and STP forums and haven't had any luck.

  • Audio Drifts Out of Sync After Demux

    Hi,
    I demuxed an hour-long program from DVD to .m2v and .ac3 using MPEG Streamclip. The audio drifts out of sync very gradually, and by the end is way off.
    I don't want to re-compress the audio, as it is already AC3. According to Quicktime, the video is 29.97 fps, and the audio is 16-bit 48 khz.
    When I used to Export to DV option, everything stayed in sync. I can't go this route, however, since I can't afford to re-compress anything (I'm making a new DVD from this old one). Just an FYI that this worked.
    Ever run into this problem before?

    I am using version 1.9. In the preferences pane, I don't have anything checked.
    To reiterate, all I'm trying to is demux the DVD as-is and bring those assets into DVD Studio Pro for an updated project. Not using FCP anywhere in this workflow.
    Looks like I left out an important piece of info, though...When I demux the audio stream to AC3 (its original format), and try to import it into DVD Studio Pro, I get the error message: "Variable bit rate audio assets cannot be imported." I am not sure how the client originally encoded their audio, but the fact that it stays in sync on the DVD led me to believe they didn't do anything wrong. Could this VBR be throwing the audio off during the demux? The only instances where I've noticed it's out of sync are when I export to an uncompressed format like AIFF or WAV, and can actually view it.

  • Audio drifts out of sync in QT

    I have just completed a 30 min., 20 sequence piece. When I create the reference movie the audio drifts out of sync.
    It plays fine in FCP (5.1.1). The properies are matched at 1080i50 and 48k in FCP and QT.
    Would appreciate some help.

    Thanks for taking an interest, Studio X.
    I didn't do the capture, but the media and sequence settings are matched and the QT properties are too at 1080i50 and 48k. I'm not using an external monitor, just viewing from the timeline. I'm done with the project, I was just trying to save myself a copy before it goes to the compositor and composer.
    I think I remember reading a post on the same problem somewhere else and it came right when it was encoded for MPEG 2. I'm trying that now, will post the result.

  • Audio and video are out of sync when exported.

  • Audio goes out of sync when i open project on diff macs

    i have an iMovie project created on an iMac saved to an external.
    I go to open the project up on my macbook and the audio is out of sync.
    I go back to my iMac with the same project and it works just fine.
    I'm a bit confused because both macs use Mac OS X 10.6.4 and iMovie 8.0.6
    what other differences might there be?
    any input is appreciated as I'd love to work on projects while out in the field!

    Try exporting the iMovie project as a single full quality dv format quicktime file.
    I use iMovie6 HD and this is my usual procedure that works well.
    Make the movie in iMovie, will involve many separate clips. When finished, export (share) as a single full quality dv format quick time file. When I have an hours worth of smaller projects, I create a new iMovie project and import all of the quicktime .dv files for each separate short project. I add chapter markers in this project, then share with iDVD. I then burn an hours worth of stuff at best quality and distribute to family and friends.
    iDVD seems to work better with iMovie source that has fewer clips.
    BTW: Are you having problems with standard def or hi def iMovie source. Another part of my procedure is that I take the raw tapes and download the entire thing into one iMovie project. I don't edit or change the footage at all, just want to archive to DVD for posterity. In this case, I want to share the iMovie project with iDVD directly. This has worked OK for standard def projects, but my first hi def project (1080i) that I tried, the sound was out of sync. To fix this, I had to create a regular DV widescreen iMovie project, and drag all the clips into it from the HD project. It took over an hour for my humble mac mini to convert the files, but I was then able to share with iDVD and the finished DVD worked ok.
    Hope this helps.

    Might try reloading drivers for the capture card... sure sounds like it may well be the problem if non converted footage is in sync...
    If this fails, try exporting the HD sequence to compressor and compress it to SD there, then lay out the resulting file from FCP not having the capture card do any conversion.

  • Audio out of sync after exporting into Quicktime using current settings.

    Quicktime file has audio out of sync when I export to quicktime movie using current settings.
    Ok for about the first few minutes then, out of sync after about 10 minutes.
    I shot the footage on tape with my Sony HVR-Z7u.
    My Sequence setting is the same as the format of the footage as shown below.
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
    Editing Time base: 23.98
    Quicktime video settings: Compressor: HDV 1080p24
    Audio Settings: Rate 48 KHz
    Depth: 16bit
    Clip format:
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
    Vid Rate: 23.98
    Compressor: HDV 1080p24
    Audio Rate 48 KHz
    Audio Format: 16bit

    I recently moved and both of my editing machines were unplugged for a couple of days until I could get them set up. After turning them back on, the problem had disappeared. Perhaps leaving the system unplugged had allowed some of the internal components to reset? That's the only thing I can think of. At any rate, the issue is gone.

  • HELP!  Audio goes out of sync after export!

    OK, folks. I need your help. I have a looming deadline of THIS FRIDAY to hand this in.
    I have a finished multicam edit of a show that runs 1 hr 20 min. It plays back perfectly in the timeline, all video and audio perfectly in sync. Looks and sounds exactly like what I need.
    When I export the video as an H.264 file, the audio gets out of sync with the video by 13 frames! But that's not all... It doesn't happen to the entire audio track. There's about 50 minutes in the middle of the video where the audio goes out of sync. The audio at the beginning and ending of the video is lined up perfectly in sync. It's just the middle section that gets screwy.
    What do I do?!
    This has never happened before, and I've worked a lot with multicam in Premiere Pro CC before this. Never been an issue. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere, and also deleting all media cache files, but still no dice.  I also tried copying the clips into a new sequence in the same project, copying the clips into a new sequence in a NEW project, nesting the sequence... nothing works.
    My setup:
    MacBook Pro Retina (Rev. A)
    Premiere Pro CC (latest version)
    Panasonic GH3 footage in 1080p 24p AVCHD timeline
    3 cameras & 1 audio WAV file in Multicam
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    OK, I figured out how to fix it:
    In Premiere Pro CC, click on SEQUENCE > DELETE RENDER FILES.
    Try exporting the movie again.
    It worked! I exported the same sequence, and it took a long while to re-render the audio files, but when it was finished exporting the audio and video were in perfect sync. I'm not sure what caused it, but this fixed it, so hopefully anyone else having this issue can save a lot of time by reading this.
    Cheers!

  • Audio is out of sync when placed in the timeline!!!

    When I play a clip in the viewer, everything is fine, but when the clip is placed into the timeline and played in the canvas, the audio is out of sync by about half a second. I noticed that even when I view the sound waves, what I hear does not match up with where the playhead is. This is extremely frustrating and I have currently resulted to physically moving the audio to match it up, something that I do not want to do for the duration of my film.
    I read in another post that the video and the audio could not be at the same level. How can you tell if the video and audio are at the same level??
    I have FCE 3.5 if that makes any difference. Any help would be much appreciated!

    How was this clip imported? If it was captured/ingested, did you make sure that the sample rate of the capture settings matched the sample rate of your audio? Normally FCE will give you a warning if they don't match, but it can't hurt to make sure.
