Audio not synching with video when capturing

When capturing video from my Sony DV camera, the audio is always out of synch with the video which has forced me to move the audio in the timeline to manually synch. The amount by which it's out of synch seems to vary, i.e. not always out of synch by the same number frames.
I'm sure there's a capture setting to fix it but have yet to locate it.
Thanks.

A separate issue perhaps, but after my recent upgrade to CS6 I need to render out a stacked 18 minute timeline done in CS5 (Win 7/Matrox MXO2). All 7 tracks of audio are out of synch 8 frames late. When it comes to common backwards compatibility issues that I feared, it's a pretty simple fix after a render, unlink and re-render. I don't see this mentioned in the archives, so if anyone has an explanation or quick fix I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Monitoring audio in sync with video when capturing in FCP studio

Is there a way I can monitor audio in sync with video when capturing in FCP Studio? I know you can plug headphones into your tape deck but that sound is not in sync with the video in the capture window due to time delay. I tried plugging the headphones into my Powerbook but could not get any audio coming through these, nor audio through the Mac's inbuilt speakers.

The preview checkbox is ticked and the audio monitor indicates that sound is being picked up (the levels rise and fall) but I still can't hear anything! The audio/video sync on the external monitor is ok, but because there is a time delay between that and the video capture window, I can't use that as a reliable monitor for sound sync. If I could resolve the video sync problem there, then I could monitor the sound through the external monitor.

Audio not synched with video

I imported a video clip and when I placed it in the viewer, the audio and video are not synced. How do I sync the audio and video so they match up?

Is this a constant sync problem or does it drift over time?
If it is constant, drop the clip on your Timeline and unlink the audio -press command and L keys.
Slip the audio back into sync and export the clip with current settings, self contained.
Reimport back into FCP and use that version.

Audio not synching with video

I use I movie 4.0.1 and OS 10.2.8. I have made lots of movies. However the recent movie that I am working on shows a lack of synching between the audio and the video. What to do? thanks, Dr. Steve

Audio not syncing with Video when live streaming.

Hello, i was wondering if i could get a possible fix for a problem that's been keeping my streaming back. I am using a Dazzle capture card to stream video games, and Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 to send out the feed. My video source is of course the capture card and i use a MAC program called "Audio Midi Setup" to create an aggregate device of both the dazzle audio and my microphone as an audio source for FMLE. This way, the viewers could hear both my voice and the game audio.
Everything works really well, except for one problem. The audio always occurs 6 seconds before the actions in the game that correspond to it, and my voice will mention something first before it happens, again off by 6 seconds. I've played around with a couple of the settings for audio and video, but no matter what, it's always a 6 second delay. I've had this problem for a while and am unsure if the problem stems to FMLE at this point, but would appreciate any possible help. Thank you

This is common for separately recorded audio. Sync the start of both clips. then go to the end and adjust the speed of the audio clip until it get's back in sync at the end. It should then be in sync throughout. You'll have to experiment to get just the right adjustment. My device's clips had to be adjusted to 100.4% speed to keep sync.

Vado audio out of synch with video when I transfer it out of Vado Central

Vado audio out of synch with video when I transfer it out of Vado Centralk I have a very important video I took that runs fine in Vado Central. However, when I try transferring it anywhere else (Facebook, Photobucket, iMovie) the audio speeds up and makes my son sound like a chipmunk.
My computer is a MacBook OS 0.5.8, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 processor, 2GB memory, which should meet the system requirements.
I've been going back and forth with customer-no-service and their last suggestion was that there's nothing wrong with the camera or Vado Central and that Facebook, Photobucket and iMovie must all be independently having the exact same problem
I'm very frustrated and unhappy. This camera is only 2 months old, but it's too late for me to return it and right now it's worthless to me. Worst of all, my very important video is ruined. Anybody have any suggestions

Yes, it sounds the same (too fast) no matter what computer we try it from. I've tried burning a DVD every way I can think of and when we try to play it on our DVD player we still have chipmunk audio.
I am BEYOND frustrated with Vado's customer-no-service. They keep insisting that since it will play in Vado Central I don't have a problem. I bought this camera so that I could share video with my family that's across the country. What am I supposed to do now, mail them the camera?! It's absurd!

Audio not synced with video on movie downloads

The audio is not synced with video on movie downloads from the ITunes store. I have downloaded many movies in the past from the same PC with no problem.

Hi Jimmyjoefl,
I understand that you are having playback issues with videos you have purchased from the iTunes Store. After doing some research, I found the following resource that describes your exact symptoms:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718
Here are some things to check if, when viewing a movie in iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7, you notice that a video appears distorted, intermittently pauses, or has audio that is out of sync with the image on-screen.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Audio not sync with video using photo booth since os moutain lion was installed

Since OS Moutain Lion was installed my photo booth no longer function well, audio is not sync with video, the sound delay is obvious with the video outut wha can I do to correct this?

I've seen that problem in several threads, both here and in the Mountain Lion forum. I tried to replicate the problem but was unable to do so... so it's not a problem effecting all Macs. Try posting here - in the Mountain Lion forum - and see what you get as a search. There's one specific "More Like This" to the right on this thread but there doesn't seem to have been a solution posted.
Good luck,
Clinton

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.

Audio not exporting with video

Hello-
I am having trouble exporting a H.264 video using the YouTube HD 24 preset, which I have done dozens of times previously. The footage was captured on a DSLR with external sound and synced via plural eyes.
The problem is that the audio, which I can hear in the time line, is not exporting with the video. So far I have tried deleting all project and associated files and starting from scratch but to no avail. Does anyone know why this is happening or what I need to do to troubleshoot/fix?
Many thanks...

Thanks for the reply. I was checking them by playing the export on my iMac. I just imported the video back into PP and there is no audio when played in the system either.

Audio not sync with Video

I am using a Sony DVMC-DA1 to convert VHS tapes into Final Cut Express. After I finish capturing is says,
"The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape."
I have looked in books and feel that I have tried everything. The audio is still not in sync with the video. I am out of ideas. Does anyone know how to fix this?

What is the audio settings of your sequence? It has to match that of the video you're importing
I'm not familiar with the unit you're using to import but basically, if your video is 16 Bit 48K then your sequence, your timeline, as to be the same, say NTSC (or PAL) DV. If the video is being captured at 12 Bit, your sequence should be NTSC (or PAL) 32K.
Having mismatched audio rates in your timeline will usually lead to out of sync audio

Audio not syncing with video in itunes

Just upgraded iTunes (to sync wiht my iphone 5C) -- after a few playbacks the audio stopped playing while video would continue (no issues with music or in any other video playback outside of itunes). I turned off the equalizer, which returned the audio track to syncing with the video, except when i expand to full screen viewing -- the audio gets off track again and never catches up. In looking through user comments this seems a frequent problem for iTunes with Windows, but I have OS X 10.8.3.

FLV in rollover slidelet: audio just barely not synched with video

I have several FLVs (slide videos) in my project (65 slides total) and all work perfectly except for the one that appears in a rollover slidelet. The audio just barely lags the speakers lip movement. This occurs in both Preview and Publish. I've tried various setting for the FLV and slidelet but haven't been able to get it synched up. Further complicating this is the fact that applying the 5.0.2.630 patch has essentially blown up my Captivate install (I have a separate post on that) and now sometimes when I preview this slide or view the published project, no audio at all plays. I have seen some posts indicating that these sorts of issues occur depending on system processing speeds but my system meets the Tech Specs for Cap 5.0 so I am not sure how that relates. I also wonder how I can anticipate what will happen for end users; there are probably some specs out there about that, but I admit I haven't dug those up yet. Below are the settings I'm using for the rollover slidelet. Thanks.

I'm wondering if I should update my bios. To date, I've done the following:
Upgraded from 6 gigs of ram to 24 gigs of DDR3 1600
Added three hard drives with two of them on Raid 0. Total is 5 hard drives
Just picked up a PNY GTX-470 display adaptor
Upgraded to CS5
This thing should be halling ***! But Multi-Camera mode is still very sluggish.

Audio unsynced with video when capturing analog HD with Kona LHe card!

Hey,
This is kind of an emergency because i am in the process of logging a feature film. I am using the Kona LHe card to capture analog audio and video with the JVC BR-HD50 HDV deck. It is 720p24 HDV footage converted to analog DVCProHD 720p59.94 footage through the Kona. My issue is that the audio is about 4 or 5 seconds unsycned with the video...I am also getting some audio popping. The audio sounds fine when listening through the line mixer but it pops when i play back though FCP. I already contacted AJA (the makers of Kona) and they its a FCP problem...Any prompt help would be greatly appreciated...
-JE

Welcome to the forums!
What version of FCP are you running? If you can, get to the most current version as this solves a lot of issues with the DVCPRO HD codec.
And have you read this whitepaper?

Audio not synched with my video, new memory 24 gigs

Hi:
CS5 Premier Pro
I just installed 24 gigs of memory in my i7 920 computer with 5 hard drives. Now my audio is lightly ahead of my video. What am I doing wrong?
Virtual disk settings?
Scratch disk settings?
Video card is: Gforce 9800 GT
Thanks
