Audio Follows Video greyed out

I am working with a sequence that uses clips that were shot DVC Pro 720p 30, NTSC. Suddenly, when looking at interview content in the canvas and viewer, the sync for content from a particular reel is slightly off. I noticed under the view menu / audio playback, audio follows video is greyed out. The only options are default or built in output. At first I thought that was the proglem (can anyone tell me why it is greyed out, and if I need to select this somehow?)
Interestingly, however, other clips in the project, shot on the same day, do not appear to have the same sync problem. What would cause the sync problem on this one reel? I did not notice the sync problem when previously working with the material.
Thank you so much in advance.

I seem to remember this happening before with captured material. Can someone answer the question of whether I should switch the sequence settings to the settings that I used to capture the clip originally?
Or could the clip have been corrupted, and if yes, what to do? Or is the simplest solution to re-sync by eye? It's sort of like when the data flow isn't fast enough and sync is lost.
Thanks to all for your comments.

  • Why do my audio and video get out of synch?

    No matter what sort of video I'm trying to play: Youtube, a movie on DVD, a movie on an external hard drive, etc, after a short time the audio and video get out of synch with each other.  This is often, though not always, signaled by a short audio phrase being repeated (eg: "I don't know, Scully, how about you? about you?").  I can solve the problem by quitting the app and starting it back up but it will eventually screw up again.
    I'm using a MacBook running OS 10.6.8 with a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory.

    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.

  • FCP Crashing When Printing to Tape Using Audio Follows Video Setting

    I'm trying to Print to Tape using the Audio Follows Video setting from FCP. I am using a Sony DSR-11 Deck and a Mac Pro. I was able to Print to Tape successfully earlier today, and I have done it successfully many times before. Every time I try to Print to Tape with the Audio Follows Video setting, FCP crashes. Actually, every time I play audio from the timeline using the Audio Follows Video setting, FCP crashes. I have deduced that the problem must be with the Audio Follows Video setting, but I'm not sure what to do to correct the problem. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

    Well, what version of FCP are you running?
    Final Cut Studio 5
    How is your media stored? Number of hard drives, how full are they, ect?
    I have two hard drives. One is 250GB the other is 750GB. I have my applications on the 250GB drive. All of my media is on the 750GB drive. My computer is brand new, so I haven't even come close to filling the drives.
    What is the format of the media you are trying to send out to the DSR?
    I'm going Firewire out of the Mac Pro to the DSR11 to a Mini-DV tape.
    Have you tried doing a crash record?
    I would rather not do a crash record if at all possible. I know that is a back up option, but I also know that my system is capable of working properly.
    I really appreciate you trying to help me out on this.

  • Photo Booth Audio and Video are out of sync?

    Hi. So there is this glitch that when I take videos on Photo Booth the audio and video are out of sync. This started after I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and since I use Photo Booth a lot, I really do care. Is there anyway that I can fix this until Apple fixes this bug? Thanks.
    Extra Info: The first video I took was not out of sync, but after that they got more and more out of sync.

    I've read all the forums. It's a big problem for most Photobooth users, Apple acknowledges it, but does not yet have a fix.
    The best solution I have come up with is to dump Photobooth (I know - it was a great program, wasn't it? But so was Hypercard) and use Quicktime to make videos. You'll have to spend a little more work savings or exporting, but at least Quicktime is free.
    Just open Quicktime Player and under the File menu you'll see "Record New Movie."
    The downward slide continues...

  • Can hear audio, but video blacks out every few seconds; picture comes back when we hit the tv's volume button

    We can hear audio, but video blacks out every few seconds; picture comes back when we hit the tv's volume button. Everything seems to be plugged in well. The picture even starts out being sort of dim. And it goes through phases of working fine but then will randomly start blacking out again.  Any ideas?

    Have you tried turning the TV off and on again.

  • Audio and video is out of sync!

    when I record audio and video together with my isight built in camera on my macbook pro with either quicktime pro, photobooth or imovie, when I play the clip back the audio and video is out of sync! like watching a kung foo movie. I've tried everything, I've taken my book into see a "Genius" at thew mac store and he said to me that the isight is made really for video conferencing and is really not supposed to be fully in sync? Uhh thats weird, so mac makes a product and puts it on all their laptops and it only sort of works?? I've been on the phone with apple care, did a bunch of things like disk utility repairs on permisions, then used the startup disk to do another permisions repair. I've uninstalled quicktime pro and re-installed it a couple of times? If anyone could give me some advice that would be great! I'm a little frustrated as you can probably see! thanks
    cheers

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, m
    See if any of the suggestions offered here reduce your sync quality problem enough:
      http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7089133&#7089133
    If, after making certain that your Mac is running well, has plenty of free space on the correct drive, etc., your sync is still not close enough, you can manually re-sync any parts that are unacceptable to you using either QT Pro or iMovie.
    If you check carefully, you will see that not even pro video is always perfectly synced. It is a lot of work to get things "nearly perfect," but, with a bit of practice, it doesn't take long to get things "close enough" for me.
    I use the same simple process with either QT Pro or iMovie, so you can use whichever you find easiest. Whichever you use, keep the original AV clip safe and *_work on a copy_* in case something goes wrong.
    If you do not already know how, here is my process, but you can adjust for your workflow:
    (1) Copy of the audio track.
    (2) Add the audio track copy to the AV file.
    (3) Silence the original audio and work on audio copy.
    (4) Insert small blank audio clips (or split and slide if using iMovie) if needed to make the audio later.
    (5) Cut small bits out of quiet parts (or split and shorten in iMovie) if needed to make audio sooner.
    (6) Repeat until satisfied and delete any tracks no longer needed.
    (7) Save the adjusted AV file.
    (8) Enjoy!

  • Updated FCP 5.1 to 5.1.2 - Audio and video now out of sync

    I just noticed in my software update that FCP needed to be updated. So I updated the program.
    Now when I open exisiting projects the audio and video are out of sync even though they appear perfectly in sync in the timeline. Has anyone else had this problem? The problem also persists when cutting clips in the timeline. I will use the razor tool to make the cut and I cut the clip on a ceratain frame in the timeline and then in the viewer the clip was really cuts a second or two later. Does anyone know what is going on?
    Very furstrating to say the least. Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I am still wondering why you're recommending that I use an external drive for this project.
    Because the internal has more than enough to do running Mac OS X and the applications. It is constantly writing files. While DV video is at the lower end of the scale, it is still asking a lot of the drive's read and write head.
    I always used external drives, but we had many problems with delays and processing problems.
    At the very least, you should be using FireWire external drives. USB is no good for video as it delivers data in packets, not the sustained stream that video needs. The drives must also be formatted as Mac OS Extended. Windows FAT 16 of FAT 32 formatted drives have file size limits of 2 and 4 GB respectively. Anything larger is segemented and can cause problems on a Mac.

  • Audio and Video are Out of Sync

    Hello,
    This seems to be a reoccurring problem for me and I'd love some help getting it resolved once and for all. After capturing footage, the audio and video are out of sync in the clip AND when I drag it to the timeline. When I go through each part, it looks like the video hesitates often, which seems to be causing the misalignment of audio. But, once it is moved into alignment, it goes out of sync again throughout the remainder of the one hour video.
    I'm capturing through a Canon Optura 50 Mini DV and editing with FCP 6.0.1. I have checked that the audio mode is set to 16 bit on the camera, and the capture settings have the audio rate for 48 KHz.
    This same problem occurred when I was capturing another event last week.
    PLEASE advise. It won't get aligned even if I take the hours and hours to move the audio left and right frame by frame.

  • Unlink Audio & Video greyed out in Premeire Elements 13 (Windows 8.1) [new user]

    I posted (or at least I thought the post worked) this question Mar.27th but I can't find it or any replies I may have gotten so if anyone knows its whereabouts I'd appreciate you're telling me how to see it so I won't have 2 threads running for the same question. My question is: why is the option to unlink the audio and video tracks greyed out when I'm trying to substitute part of an audio clip (without ruining the synchronization between the existing audio and video). I'm working with a saved "projectX.prel" file. I noticed when I opened a new project that the UNLINK option is active. This seems contrary to logic i.e wouldn't the unlink action be more likely to be needed when working on an existing file as opposed to when working on a brand new file? How can I separate the 2 components (audio & video) so I can edit just the audio clip without the UNLINK procedure working? Would really appreciate any help anyone can offer with any of the foregoing. Thanks.

    garryw
    Thanks for the reply. Glad that suggestion C worked for you.
    Is there any remote possibility that the video and audio are really unlinked to start.
    Let us take suggestion A, you say that Link Audio and Video is active choice for what you believe to a linked video audio on the Timeline.
    You have your clip in the Expert workspace and the clip is not selected as represented in screenshot 1.
    If you click on the Video 1 portion of the clip, does the video portion and audio portion highlight to look like what you see in screenshot 2
    where the video and audio portion both look highlighted.
    Or, if you click on the Video 1 portion of the clip, is it just the video portion that looks highlighted and the audio part
    continues to look unhighlighted? As seen in the next screenshot 3?
    Depending on your answers, we may next delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file which can be found
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    13.0
    and in the 13.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file which  you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 13.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that you can see the complete path given.
    As your schedule permits, looking forward to learning of your progress.

  • Video greyed out on SOME contacts

    This is my first time using iChat.  And now I'm running Lion.  And this seems weird.
    For some reason in iChat the video option for my contacts is all greyed out.  Even with people that are online and available.  I can chat with them but no audio or video icon is available. 
    However, one of my gmail contacts is 'waiting for authorization' (I've no idea why..I've chatted with them before in gmail chat) but THIS contact the video icon is not greyed out..and it's the only one not greyed out.  What gives?

    Hi,
    If you have sent a Reqest for Authorisation then iChat will tell you when a Buddy is On line by adding the Dark Buddy pic (even if it says it is still waiting for a Response)
    In Leopard and Snow Leopard (iChat 4 and 5) iChat would only send the Request once.
    It also has no option to Resend.
    Most other Jabber apps keep sending the Request until the Buddy either Accepts or Denies.
    It is best to delete the Buddy and arrange a time when they are On-line to Add them to the Buddy List
    (Or use a Third Party app that does repeat the Request.)
    Buddies that show On line but have greyed out Video icons are normally chatting (in Video or Audio) with someone else (Busy).
    I think you are trying to say this is not the case for you  at present.
    iChat can only video to other iChat Buddies (no matter what app they are using except for AIM or Trillian on  PC)

  • 'Best for video' greyed out in displays prefs

    I finally got my macbook(blackbook running 10.5.8) hooked up to my lcd tv (i have been using my old eMac for this a while) & I'm fooling around with the settings to optimize performance & for some reason the 'Best for video' is greyed out in System prefs/Displays but the overscan function works(both in extended desktop mode & in video mirroring mode. I have always used this function on my eMac (OS X 10.3.9) without any problems. For now I'm using the apple mini dvi to video with an Svideo cable until i can afford to go either the hdmi or vga route, but I'd like to optimize this at least..anybody have a clue why 'Best for video' would be greyed out & how to fix this? could this be because of the Intel GMA 950 Gpu chipset in this generation of macbooks? I have posted to a few forums in the last few days with no answers so far...Anybody?

    I wouldn't worry too much about that setting. I believe all it ever did was set up a difference between blanking and black level, sometimes called "pedestal" in TV/video terminology. It's no big deal. You are probably correct that the GMA950 doesn't support it, so it's grayed out.

  • Why is Import Video greyed out for a new Flash project?

    I have been trying unsuccessfully to load any MP4 (H.264 encoding), FLV, or F4V files into a brand new project. I've tried importing FLV and F4V files via the Import to Library and Import to Stage menu choices but all result in "One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them" error message. I just downloaded Flash CC today (Feb 23, 2014) and cannot even get started on my project since I cannot seem to load a video into the library or stage. I've looked at the tutorials, but they assume that I can choose the greyed out Import Video... menu choice. Searching the discussion didn't help me as most of the discussions are off-topic or from 2 or more years back.
    Thanks,
    Xtraspatial

    Thank you sinious. I had QT 7.5.5 installed. The problem was unrelated. Like a bufoon, I created a new HTML5 canvas, which is unable to import videos. When I switched to a AS3 canvas all was as it should be. And there was rejoicing throughout the land! Case closed.

  • Multicam Clip Audio Channel config greyed out

    I shot an interview with two cameras.  One of those cameras had the audio (lav on left, boom on right).  That audio was imported as a stereo track on import, the angles where multicamed, and the edit happened.
    Now I have a timeline with all my audio playing in stereo (lav on left boom on right).  I want to change from stereo to dual mono so I can audio mix properly, but when I select the multicam clip in the timeline, the channel configuation in the inspector lists it as stereo and the dual mono option is greyed out. (don't know why they won't let me change here)
    I can go back to the event and select the multicam clip there and change it to dual mono and it will also change in the timeline.  So that seems like a work around, but I can't select MULTIPLE multicam clips in the event and batch change the channel config to dual mono.  Says "selected clips are from different multicam clips."
    Am I going to have to select every single multicam clip individually in the event browswer and change the channel configuration on each one? 

    As far as I understand it, you cannot switch a "container" clip like the multicam to dual mono since it contains a clip which is stereo inside it. This makes sense, as per se it is not the multicam that is stereo or not.
    You should make the change from stereo to dual mono in the actual AUDIO clip - either before creating the multicam, or after - in this case, after :-)
    Open the multicam clip in Angle Editor (control-click the clip in the timeline and choose "Open in Angle Editor").
    Now select the clip that contains the audio and make the change. Note that this WILL affect the relevant clip even outside the multicam.

  • IPhone 4s Almost all songs and all videos greyed out and will not play

    I bought the iPhone 4s yesterday and have been beating my head against the wall over this problem all night.  I only have about 2,000 songs on the iPhone and about 10 videos.  Some of the songs will play, but all others are greyed out and all videos are greyed out.  When plugged into iTunes the same problem is there, the same songs that do not play are greyed out while the ones that will play are not grey. 

    I've had this issue before. The greyed songs in iTunes are because the original music files have been moved on your computer and itunes can't find them.  Delete all your grayed out songs (might be easier to select all and delete all) ; then drag them all from your music file/folder back into your itunes... then resync.
    Good Luck

  • Audio and Video are out of sync after time remaping.

    After I did the time remap,audio and video are completely out of sync.
    I don't know what I did wrong.Please HELP.
    I did a short video(43seg) to explain myself better
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0PQEoZvGbk

    ha. having the video is killer. there are a couple ways to do this. i'd recommend using the blade tool (tap b twice to get the one that cuts all tracks), make a cut through the audio and the video at the points where you want it sped up, then right click the clip itself (which should be linked with audio and video) and then just set it to whatever speed you want. it'll have the same effect. you might have to adjust boundaries or you can select ripple.
    alternatively, it looks like you just needed to do the same thing to the audio that you did to the video in that clip you uploaded. you can always relink things by selecting the audio and video and hitting cmnd+L.
    hope that helps.
