Audio not in Sync with Video

When I play back the video from the camera, the audio is not synchronized with the video. The video appears to be behind by about 2 seconds. Is this normal or is there some setting to correct the problem?

Yes, there is a simple correction.
The problem is in your computer, it lacks enough power to operate to your satisfaction.
This has been posted before....... I reciently purchased a powerfull laptop because i could not enjoy my videos on my 2.4 mhz single core older computer.
Your camcorder is more powerfull than your computer is...Ha,Ha,Ha....
You can do as I did, set your Vado HD to VGA mode, this will ease the requirements of your computer a little...but then when you get a modern computer you will wish you had all your videos in HD+.........

Audio not in sync with video in imovie 08 version 7.1.1

I am importing many Hi 8 tapes using a Sony video walkman GV-D800 thru a firewire 400 port on my Macbook pro, when I play it back in imovie the audio/voice is not in sync with the lip movement of the people in the video, there is a 1-3 second delay. If I play back the same video I captured using QuickTime Player there are no sync problems? I am new at this so what am I doing wrong?
BTW. I also imported HDV using my HDV camera and there are no sync problems at all. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Is this delay present on your exports or is it merely when previewing in imovie.

Bluetooth audio not in sync with video on iPad 2 with iOS 6

I noticed that after I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 6, there was a problem with I use my A2DP Bluetooth headset (Jabra Halo) with my iPad 2. The audio is no longer in sync with the video playback! And it's really annoying. This problem does not exist when I plug in a headset to the iPad.
Is anyone else facing this issue? I only has one bluetooth headset so I'm not sure if this is a problem with my Jabra Halo headset or the iOS 6. This used to work without any issues with iOS 5.

Hi mynew:
Welcome to discussions!
Did you make the video in imovie and send it to iDVD?
Read this and fill in iMovie 6 where iMovie 3 is..

Audio not in Sync with Video in FCP

Hi People, i'm new to this, hoping to find some support.
I have Final Cut Studio 2, im doing an Apple Pro Training series book - 'Final Cut Pro-Beyond the Basics' and im having a problem of the audio not syncing with the video. If i simply play the sequence, the video is ahead by about 7 seconds, and if i stop and start playback (edit) it remains out of sync. However, if i let the sequence play through and loop, when it restarts at the beginning, it appears fine and all fixed, until i stop plyback and start it again. So, the only way to have it work right (to check my edit) is to continue to let the sequence loop and it fixes itself?? In QT it says the clip is DV 720 * 480, 23.98 fps, and so ive checked that in FCP, the settings are the same, and ive played around extensively with the real time plyback settings and sequence settings, but nothing fixes it apart from letting it play til it loops!!!???
Has anyone had this??
Am i missing a setting here?? It seems to have been like this since the update to 10.5.3
Thanx!

Hi People, i have found the answer to my question and thought i might post the cause so anyone else who gets caught can get it sorted.
The answer ended up being that i had an aggregate device as my audio interface (because i have 2 audio interfaces) and so the audio was being delayed in being processed. So i deleted the device in my Audio MIDI Setup (audio page) and thhus, its all good. Quite painfull after a FC reinstall! Ha!!
Cheers

After ATV2 5.0 update Netflix audio is not in sync with video

I spoke tooo soon.
Netflix audio is not in sync with video today as well. Any movie, it happens to all.

Downloaded movie sound not in sync with video

My downloaded itunes movie audio is not in sync with the video. It's like viewing a foreign film without the subtitles. This problem persists with all my existing itune movies. Can this problem be resolved or should I discontinue itune movies purchases.

Ok i found the solution. Installed with compatibility mode of Windows XP.

Audio is off sync with videos on Ipod Touch.

My Ipod touch does not want to seem to play the audio in correct sync with my videos anymore. I have not done or changed a thing lately. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks. I am running firmware 1.1.5

Update My iTouch is downgraded to 1.1.5 successfully. I used a pc that had an un updated version of iTunes installed (7.6) and after 2 attempts using the power off + home combination described in the firmware 1.1.5 post, I was able to successfully "restore" to the latest "1.1.5" iTouch software. When the touch reset, before establishing a sync relationship with the pc, I reattached it to my mac and selected "new ipod" rather than restore from backup. I then synced and tested on of the previously screwed up videos. It plays without any audio sync problems. This processes is more or less what the genius bar instructed me to do. I was reluctant to download any software not coming directly from apple. If anyone knows where the firmware file is stored on iTunes PC version, I would greatly appreciate the location. I want to save the file on my mac now that I know this is a good version. When Apple comes out with 2.1, I want to have a fall back.

Flashvideo stuttering, sound not in sync with video

Can't help it: flashvideos are stuttering and the sound is not in sync with the video as the video/picture always is like a second late to the sound.
Tried Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, even with older flashplayer-versions than 11.5.502.110 as it is now, cleared chache, enabled and disabled hardware acceleration, tested different cache memory size (flashplayer internal settings), with or without camera and microphone allowance, every time I get the same results in a choppy / stuttering video and no sync in picture / sound.
My System is as followed:
MacBook Pro early 2008
MacBookPro4,1
Intel Core 2 Duo
2,5 GHz
L2-Cache:    6 MB
RAM:    4 GB
Bus:    800 MHz
with a GeForce 8600M GT
PCIe-Bus
VRAM 512 MB
Internet-connection via cable at least with 5 Mbit/sec up to mostly around 20 Mbit/sec and a 802.11n WLAN (tried LAN cable too, same effect)
My OSX is Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I want to stick with that one, I keep the browsers and the flashplugin always up to date and I am not using a lot of background programs when watching, just one firewall and the usual system processes as I can see in the activity monitor, not much of percentage in processor usage, maybe 2 to 5 in percent all together, talking only of the background usage.
The core / processor usage, when a flashmovie is running, is around 80 to 90 percent,
there is an amount of 45 or so GB harddrive space empty and
somewhat of 1,8 GB of RAM not in use.
The connection-quality as shown in, say the "nfl game pass" window is very good up to max.
Sometimes, when the internet isn't that fast and the connection drops, the picture gets worse and the sound too, but that occurs not very often, maybe once a day and mostly when starting a video. After 10 seconds or so the quality of the picture and sound is high like brilliant HD, cannot complain about that, but the stuttering and out of sync sound remains.
I watch the flash videos at internal mac-book-pro monitor 1440x900 fullscreen, sometimes not fullscreen,
tried an external LCD Sony Bravia Full HD Monitor via DVI to HDMI adapter too
and I am getting always, with any kind of configuration, the same results in stuttering video with sound out of sync.
Did already read faq's and forums and it seems that this is an issue for a long time with very different computer-setups and browsers in various versions of the flash-player. Couldn't find anything in accordance, like same graphic cards or same internetconnections, browsers or else, yet, so it comes down to the flash player.
The issue with the stuttering video and no sync in sound and video occurs at any time of the day with different streams, live, archived - I also tried changing the mac-system-flashplayer settings in different combinations with no change at all: stuttering video, no sync sound.
If there is any information else that you need, please let me know,
I hope you can help as this stuttering and async is getting quite annoying by now...
greez anyway, out of vienna, austria
thanx,
manfred

Hi Manfred,
When you have the high cpu, is hardware acceleration enabled? You mentioned this occurs with all releases that you've tested, does this include 10.3 on Firefox?

Rendering issues? Audio is not in sync with video

im very very new to after effects and im jumped straight into the deep end of things, i downloaded a rendered template with a audio file to go with... when i render it in AVI it also seems like the video is way to slow for the audio and doesn't match up! I have no idea what to do or try or what im looking for, so any help would be massively appreciated! thank you so much for your time

Other than what Mylenium suggests, there isn't a whole lot else we can do. It is a very unwise thing to jump into using AE without introducing yourself to the basics, because the application contains too many ways to foil the uninitiated. Furthermore, since you don't know the arcane AE lingo, there are also translation issues to deal with.
Almost NO ONE successfully learns AE intuitively. Those who are successful have last names that begin with the letters "ein" and end with "stein". Almost EVERYONE has to start with the basics. Here is a very good introduction to the basics.
Fight the temptation to jump right into AE. You do so at your peril.

Audio no longer syncs with video thanks to some frame changes I made - HELP

I had frame issues with a feature-length movie recorded at 24p and edited on a 24fps timeline. My early settings led to a repeat frame every 3 frames. I have since changed the pulldown, though I don't know from what to what to be honest. Maybe it WAS 2:3:2:3 and now it's 2:3:3:2, or the other way around. Not sure at this point.
I made other changes, too. I found a setting to change from interlaced to progressive, which only made sense since my footage was captured on the progressive setting on the Panasonic DVX100. So I changed that, too.
I may have changed another setting or two as well until the video looked more accurate and lost the 'flicker' or 'jerky' appearance on long, tracking shots.
Through all these changes, the audio didn't suffer anything. Now, with a new audio mix from my sound engineer, the dialogue matches perfectly for the first several minutes, but by the end of the movie, it is off by several seconds. I have tried to revert to my original video settings to see if I can sync the video and audio, but I have had absolutely no success. Even the earlier audio mixes that kept sync through the video changes are now out of sync.
And the movie's length has not changed.
HOWEVER... my music selections have held their positions perfectly throughout. I am at my wit's end with this and I am, no doubt, lacking in explanation to expect one of you experts out there to solve my problem. Anyone who is willing to take a shot at this, please let me know!
I should mention, too, that I have opened a backup copy of the movie from another hard drive - a backup copy saved before any of the video settings were altered. And that file has the same problems, too. I'm frustrated with the way Final Cut handles system preferences and doesn't adjust to the preferences of the individual file, but rather the last saved settings. Makes it difficult to backtrack.
Again, thank you for struggling through this tome and accept my gratitude in advance for any effort given to assist me!

It's going to be very important for you to figure out what format your video was captured in. You have almost definitely been editing at a frame rate that was different from the frame rate of your video, which is why you were seeing problems with panning. Have you been watching the video on an external television or just on your computer screen? Chances are there isn't a quick fix for this issue. You're either going to have to learn about this technical stuff or you need to find someone who knows about it who can troubleshoot with you in person. I've written a little bit about editing in 24p on my website. This post is a good start. http://www.kylegilman.net/2007/03/01/24p-headaches/

Your audio was probably not recorded in Pro Tools, it was edited and mixed in Pro Tools. How was your audio recorded on set? Did you have microphones going into the camera or did you record into a separate machine like a DAT player or a hard disk recorder?
My advice for now, not really knowing exactly what the problem is, and assuming the timecode on your imported AVI files matches the timecode on your DV tapes is to do a batch capture of your sequence straight from the DV tapes, capturing using the DV NTSC 48 kHz Advanced (2:3:3:2) Pulldown Removal preset. This will at least ensure that your video is at the correct frame rate. Unfortunately it won't ensure that your audio will sync up.
Also, have you tried changing the speed of your mixed audio to either 99.9% or 100.1%? This will not be a complete fix because you still probably have some duplicated frames in your video, but it might put it back in sync.
And make sure you have a back up of your project and media before you do anything else.

I just need a simple answer about audio being outa sync with video!!!!

I've been searching the forms but found no straight answer on how to make the audio in sync with the video when using videora to transfer movies. The movie plays fine until about 10 minutes, then it starts getting way off. I am tired so can someone come to my rescue?????????
Windows XP Windows XP Pro

The problem you are describing is a known issue with Videora. The author of the software even posted that problem on their website:
Known Bugs
Audio/Video sync
Problem - Output files can be out-of-sync. While no set pattern has been established, it seems to be more frequent with input files of 23.976 fps, non-DVD rips, and WMV/MPG filetypes.
Workaround solutions - Try the custom option '-async 1'. If the disconnect gradually increases over time, setting 29.97 fps sometimes gets rid of the problem regardless of the input fps. You can also use AviSynth to assume the FPS and have the audio sync to that. If it's a sudden disconnect, check your VOB Cell settings in DVD Decrypter settings per this thread. Otherwise, test with an AviSynth script per the DaProphecy's method in the FAQ. For non-DVD files, PSPVideo 9 may be a good short-term solution until the converter stabilizes some more or try something like AviDemux
I would suggest that you do some more research and switch to a different converter.

Audio not in synch with video when mov files played in QT 7.6

When I play .mov files stored in an iPhoto 08 photo library, the audio is not in synch with the video. People's lips move and the audio comes out a second or so later. This is a relatively new problem, and I don't have the same problem when I play .avi files. A couple weeks ago, the audio and video were good and they were synchronized. The video in the .mov files is also choppy. The video plays for a few seconds, briefly pauses, and then starts again.
Appreciate any suggestions.

I'm not sure this is the issue. The video files were never in iMovie. Only imported into the iPhoto libaray from my Kodak M1033 camera. A few weeks ago, I did not have an issue with .mov files playing smoothly. Perhaps there was a recent update to QT?
When I upload the .mov clips to Flickr (www.flickr.com) or YouTube, they play just fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is.
