Audio sync prob after capturing for 10 minutes or so

I have an audio sync problem when I import into Final Cut Express. Everything is fine but lets say around 15 minutes or so there is a slight sync problem.
What I have been doing is I import into IMovie because I have it setup to cut the clips after 10 minutes. This is great because I can let it run..and it automatically splits the clips up without any dropped frames at all. The problem is I then have to drag those clips..one by one into my external harddrive. That takes time and then I have to render the audio in Final Cut Express.
I do like though that the clips are a little over 2gigs..which is good for transfering between drives and backing it up onto a DVD.
Is there a way you can do what I do in iMovie...it automatically starts a new clip after ten minutes or whatever...this way I don't have to transfer and render.

FCE does not break up clips on capture. You can capture in 10 minute chunks if you want.
The audio sync problem can be caused by a number of things most common of which is using the wrong settings for your capture, where your settings audio sample rate doesn't match your media.

Midi/audio sync prob after sblive to audigy 2sz upgr

Hi all - have just had to quickly buy new soundcard as main line-out on sbli've gave up the ghost, after years of no probs. Bought Audigy 2zs, as thought this would not be too much of a shock for ageing AMDk6 450mhz running Win98se. (Am waiting for new pc music system.) Installed Audigy, using xmn's excellent set-up guide, and thought everything was ok. However, when running sequencer, the midi tracks are fine, while the audio slowly goes out of sync. Can anybody explain what's happening? Would not normally panic, and wait for new pc, but have a deadline to finish project for the Barmy Army !!
Seriously thinking of reinstalling sbli've, and using the rear line-outs to monitor on - but line-in & mic will then not work. Also was hoping the Audigy ASIO drivers would let me do the final mix in Cubase.
Did I mention the odd crackle & pop.... .....Aaaaaaargh!!
Regards.

I just purchased the SB Li've 24 Bit USB today. The quality of the device was impressi've but I also was having sync issues. My guess is that the problem is with the limited bandwidth of the . USB connection. To resolve the issue, I installed all the most current critical updates. With one of them came a tool called 'Device Control'. I reduced the sampling quality to 44. KhZ from 44.8 and also reduced the bit depth to 6. Next I disabled monitoring. Additionally, the device I was using for playback during recording I reduced to the lowset possible sampling quality (which was about 22KhZ). I was able to record for 3 minutes at 44.KhZ with no sync issues. I recommend anyone who plans on using this device for recording follow this procedure.

Jason,
Yes I tried pulling card. What has happened.
. Card was "re-found" by windows for no reason which started the problems.
2. I deleted driver in control panel, shutdown and pulled card, rebooted again with no card.
3. Put the card back and rebooted again and at that point it showed as Audigy ZS, although it did not look like all functionality was there as before.
4. So I installed the new January 06 drivers. Seemed to go okay.
5. Upon reboot, came up as Creative Audigy Audio Processor" again. However things "worked" for a while. The mixer came up, etc.
6. Seemed to be working, then stopped working (no sound)....and upon a reboot, was re-found again and was using old generic drivers from 2003. And was no longer called a ZS.
7. EDIT: Important, in the "sound and audio" devices in control panel, it is listed as an EMU0k (or some such designation) which I understand may mean the card has gone bad.
8. The network fiber connection also periodically came up as yellow exclamation mark or working based on what was going on above.
It appears that these problems may be symptoms the card is going bad based on some other posts I found? Something about a scrambled EPROM? I do have a new unused Audigy ZS card I can try.
What is the best approach to put in another ZS. Delete the driver, shutdown, pull the card and put the new one in? And of course plug in the breakout box to it. Will it "find" the new January 06 drivers upon install or will I have to re-install those again on this new card. I know it is the same card but I assume the ID will be different.
If I need to re-install the drivers, do I just re-run the install or do I need to run CTZAP etc. first? I already have all the applications loaded off the original CD and would prefer not to have to do all that again...
Thanks again,
BJB

I made a video of our summer vacation on imovie. It's over an hour long. When I try to share it, the audio syncs incorrectly at about the 15 minute mark and is off for the rest of the movie. Is there a way to fix this? I think I have imovie 09.

Audio Sync Problem after transitions/filters applied to timeline in FCP

I have Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 on a MAC Pro. I installed 2 Maxtor SATA II 200gig drives and created a striped RAID. I want to be clear about audio sync issues. I have my easy setup/properties....all those settings set to DV NTSC and I am monitoring out from my DV Deck via firewire, not the audio from the computer.
After capturing the clip(s) I assemble them onto the timeline, add a few transitions or filters. The audio shifts off a lot. More everytime I add or do more with the clip. After rendering more, the audio shifts more. All scratch disks, rendered clips points to the Video Drive (striped RAID) I've setup. I'm not new to video editing but new to a MAC. Yes, I am a PC guy. I work with Premiere Pro 1.5. I am pleased so far making the switch, just need to fix this audio issue.
All properties of the audio clip are correct, DV NTSC properties - 48K etc. This particular capture I made with 2 channel mono clips instead of a single DV stereo stream, simply because I have a split audio on the production tape and would like to take advantage of working with two seperate mono audio files. When I trim, I make sure the audio stays with the video but it appears that when I do trim, add a transition or filter, that's when the audio goes out of sync. No indication with a ("- #")on the icon. The clips which I captured are less than a minute long. Used for testing in these new learning stages.
Questions:
1. I created a striped RAID with the 2 Maxtor drives, I used MAC OS Extended (Journaled) with 256k Raid Block size. Is this correct?
2. Would the audio captured in 2 channel mono affect the sync? (assuming you don't shift it manually on the timeline)
3. What other MAC settings should I do to the system that will result in better preformances?
4. What settings should I set in FCP for better performance results?

hi vcp
welcome to the forum, glad you made the switch ... you won't be sorry (although you might be wondering at the moment!)
1. nothing wring with that
2. no
3. just don't install 3rd party crap you don't need ... and don't install any anti-vrus software
4. no special settings required
what camera did you capture from? did you capture with FCP?
cheers

Audio sync problem after saving to QuickTime file

Hi there, I'm relatively new to Adobe Premiere - I'm not quite knowledgeable enough about video editing to really use it to its full potential but needed something more flexible than Windows Movie Maker. I haven't had any problems before editing smaller files, but am having tons of trouble with a 2.7 gig file.
I'm trying to take a 2.7GB .MOV file recorded on a Kodak Zi6 and divide it into three roughly equal parts to use an email sharing service that has a maximum file size of 1GB (I know that there are sites that will allow 3GB files and I wish I could use them, or use an FTP server, but the person who needs the video needs it to be sent over his own company's file sharing system). It was recorded on an 8GB SD card, that SD card was put into my computer, and I then transfered it over to Premiere Elements 8.
I rendered the entire file first (it wouldn't even play until I did that) and after rendering, the audio and video were good and everything was synced up. I then split the clip into three and saved each as a separate project. Then I opened one up again and tried to save as a Quicktime file (that's what the person I'm sending it to requested). All seemed to go well, and for the first minute or so of the 15 minute clip everything is great. Then after that, the audio gets more and more out of sync as the video plays on. I tried playing it on several different players, same thing.
My computer (a Cyberpower PC) is running an Intel Core i7 CPU, 870 @ 2.93GHz 3.06 GHz; 8 GB of RAM; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285; Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm not sure where to get the rest of the information requested in the "How to best ask for help" post but if you can give me some guidance I'll find it.
The presets are on the defaults because I wasn't aware of them until I came to this forum. Happy to try the whole process again if someone can tell me what the presets should be changed to.
I'm looking for a solution to this particular problem, but am also looking for some basic help about files. The files that I used most often usually come from a Kodak Zi6 (.MOV) or a Flip Mino HD (MPEG4 I think; had to convert those to something else to use them in Premiere at all). I have AVS Video Converter 6, so I can convert those files to pretty much anything. I'm wondering what I should convert files to before trying to edit them in Premiere, and how best to save them. I rarely use the files anywhere but online if that helps (this particular 2.7GB file being a big exception) at a maximum width of 550 pixels, so I don't think I need the quality to be all that great; it's more important to me to be able to work a bit quicker, without rendering that takes hours.
I'd also love to take advantage someday of some of the more advanced features of Premiere, so I was wondering if anyone knows of any tutorials that will walk me through things in a linear way (as in, start from the beginning and teach me what I need to learn before moving on to something more complicated).
Thanks so much for your help, and please speak slowly; I'm in over my head!

Very well-done post, and welcome to the forum.
First, many have issues with OOS (Out Of Sync) with QT files on Export/Share. This is not just with PrE, but PrPro also. Unfortunately, OOS is pretty easy to fix, when you encounter it on the Timeline, but almost impossible to fix when it creeps in during Export. As an aside, I fought some MPEG Audio from a client, that was perfect in the Timeline, but when Exported to MPEG-2 for DVD-Video, ALWAYS went OOS dynamically, and even adjusting for that on the Timeline (rather guessing how much OOS the other direction I needed,) just flat would not do it. Sync would be fine for awhile, and then suddenly start going out, before miraculously returning to sync with the next Clip. Never could get that one correct.
In your MOV Export/Share, I am not certain which CODEC you chose. Was it H.264?
Within the MOV "wrapper," did your recipient give you any options for the enclosed CODEC's, or is the wrapper and the file size the determining factors?
Wish that I had more to offer directly, rather than questions.
As for the tutorials, I strongly recommend Steve Grisetti's Learning Series, his Boot Camp and his many articles and general PrE tutorials on Muvipix. He also has several books, available there too.
Good luck,

Out of sync directly after capture

Hi
Though New to FinalCut I'm trying to learn. I've got stuck with a situation
I can't handle:
After capturing material. Recorded in SP-mode and 16-bit sound. When
double clicking on audio to get the wave form in Canvas window I get a
significand miss match of Left / Right sound track.
Is there anything I can do to prevent this.
There are no echo/sync problem when same material is imported to iMovie !
used environment: dG5 2GHz, OS X.4.6, QT 7.1 and FCE 3.5
Yours most confused Bengt W

Hi and thanx for Your thoughts.
No just plain DV-PAL and Camera is on 16-bit.
Intermediat solution was to:
- start a new FCE project
- Capture sequence
- open main project
- drag and drop sequence into this one
Worked but rather confusing.
I think Capture to be THE most basic function in an editing program
henche it would be the last function to go bananas.
I was also recommended to delete pref - FCE.plist file. Will do that.
Yours Bengt W

Audio sync loss on capture

the other day i captured a tape - pal mini-dv, 32k audio - with appropriate settings only to find afterwards that audio was totally out of sync.
throughout the entire captured material, it was 2 full seconds late!
i deleted the captured material, created a new project with the same settings as before, captured with the same settings to the same harddisk, and now everything is fine ....
i have not changed any settings, used the same hardware, i have not even restarted the machine ...
btw audio was out of sync even in qt player - so this wasn't an fcp issue either...
still got me stumped ...

Our group commonly shoots instructionals that require 4 tracks of audio on the camera, thus 32 KHz/12-bit source in DV NTSC.
I have recently found that after capturing at matching settings, that the first clip, and only the first clip of the batch capture, is out of sync by about 1.5 seconds. All the following clips are in sync. It's gotten to the point where we need to log a short "dummy clip" to capture first in the batch, just to fool the system to getting our first real clip in sync.
We are going to try setting the sequence settings to match the 32 KHz/12-bit source and see if that helps.
Otherwise, do you recommend that we resample all our footage's audio, (both stereo pairs), to 48 KHz/16-bit and use it in a default DV NTSC 48 K sequence?

Linked server using kerberos working fine then after inacitive for 10 minutes start receiving the anonymous logon error

Linked server using kerberos working fine but after leaving the session inactive for 10 minutes is startin to fall down to ntlm and receive the anonymous logon error

we are connecting to SQL mgmt studio app published on citrix, using Windows authentication and Kerberos to forward the credentials to the linked servers and avoid the double hop issue, that part is working fine, we already have the Constrained
delegation, SPNs and Active directory settings for the Service accounts and the authentication is working, we can connect to the linked servers without errors, it's only whe the Session get idle when we faced the issue, the citrix team already have verifyed
any timeout setting and they mentioned there is no 10 minute timout setting anywhere, we also looked at the Kerberos AD Global policy settings to see if maybe the kerberos service ticket was expiring, but the configured values are Maximum lifetime
for service ticket 600 minutes Maximum lifetime for user ticket 10 hours Maximum lifetime for user ticket renewal 7 days, if you have any other suggestion please let me know.

Audio sync drift after "live" CD import and convert to 48/16

I shot DV footage on a PD150 cam. The band recorded a CD from sound board to replace the mic audio of the camera. I'm running Final Cut Pro 3, and I have already converted through Quicktime the CD tracks to aiff files running at 48 ( they were 44.1) and 16 bit. The DV cam Orignal audio was also recorded at 48/16. Now when I try to sync the Cd audio (48/16) to the video clips 1: the audio sync drifts off during the song, and though it started right, the whole sync is way off by end. 2: The audio file in the track bar is longer than the video clip in the track bar above. huh? Could it be data rate Audio 187kbps vs. Video 188kbps or should I try and slow/speed up the play rate of either vid or audio. Or is this an impossible meshing of media?
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

As Jim says, it's a function of how this was done. Next time you will know to look for ways to avoid the issue. But all is not lost.
I'll give you the skeleton and you can figure it out.
Find exact sync points near the beginning and end of the "video audio" and the "CD audio". Use drum beats you can be sure are the same. Identify them by ear and then by their waveforms, and put clip (not timeline) markers at those points.
Sync up the ones near the beginning exactly. Now go to the other two, find out how far apart they are, and write it down. How? I haven't got all day.
Calculate the time between the 2 markers in the video clips's audio, and between the markers in the CD audio.
Translate both of those numbers into frames.
Calculate the percentage by which the audio is longer CD audio / video audio = X%.
Go into Soundtrack Pro or audio app of your choice and make a version of the CD audio that is sped up by X%.
Bring that back to FCP and replace the version on the timeline with it.
If the markers didn't survive, find the sync points in the new CD version. Line up at the beginning. If the ones near the end now match, everything is done and you can call me "Helpful" and "Solved". If not you can be angry at me or read it again.
Good luck!

Help!! Apple 23" Display is graying out after running for 20 minutes.

My Apple display is greying and plad-like patterns after being on for 20 minutes. I thought the video card was getting hot so I opened up the computer and turned on a large fan to cool it. it would still go grey after about 30 minutes. Then I bought a new Radeon x 800xt, installed that since it had a built in fan-- still happened. Then ran hardware test; got the 2FAN 4/8: Fan For BACKSIDE message. Reset the SMU. Then I thought I had something wrong with my surge supressor so I plugged directly into outlet. Nothing seems to work.
The screens breaks down in gray and sometimes blue and sometimes stripes.
Does anyone have any ideas? thanks
Ron

Well Apple Hardware Test on the install disks doesn't get updated with OS and firmware changes, so you might be getting a false positive from that.
You should get Hardware Monitor over at Macupdate.com, in the sensor overview window it will give you the recommended fan and temps for your particular machine.
If your fan is dead or not keeping up around with the other like ones, the CPU or GPU temps are off the wall, them you got a problem.
Reset the PRAM and NVRAM, reboot and hold command option p r until you hear the second chime. Reset your clock in system prefs.
See if that works too.
Learn to clone that boot drive, it will save your bacon one day.

Audio sync problem after scrubbing

I'm trying to piece together some clips from a TV series called Legend of the Seeker. I'm using Premiere CS4 4.0.1, Vista Ultimate 64-bit.
Placing the hour-long video in the Source Editor allows me to play the video fine from beginning to end, but if I start scrubbing through the file, the audio unsyncs itself immediately.
Here's a screenshot of the video in GSpot:
http://img14.imageshack.us/my.php?image=premieresync.jpg
Setting IN and OUT points and then dragging a very small clip into the timeline has the same result.
Any ideas would be very appreciated.

You are actually pretty lucky to just have Audio sync problems, though I do not know why scrubbing would make any difference. With both Xvid and DivX one more often gets no Audio, or no Video.
Agree 100% on the 3rd party conversion, prior to Import into PrPro.
