Audio Sync Vista, latest quicktime

Is there a solution for the audio sync issue in windows vista?
I've completely uninstalled quicktime and installed the latest version on my wife's laptop, but when she watches trailers on apple.com the audio is out of sync. Google is little help.

I opened two files they do the same things when they go into studio pro
the quicktime file
fps 23.98
rate 24.55 mbits/s
size 720x480
actual the same
playing fps (available while playing)
the mpeg 2:
720x404
fps 23.98
data size 3.85
rate 6191.42kbits/s
this is just the quicktime self contained file as I said if I open it in final cut it's right in sync, in quicktime I see the same drift as when I open this in dvd studio pro the same as with the mpeg 2 file I make in compressor...
the pixel discrepancy for whatever it means this is an anamorphic rendering in the nest just so you're aware

  • Audio sync different between QuickTime and Windows Media Player

    I've run into a new problem I've never encountered before. When playing a video on QuickTime on a Windows PC, the audio is in perfect sync. However, when I play the same QT video on Windows Media Player, the audio is out of sync by as much as three seconds. The Windows software is current. The source content is created using ProTools 10 on a Mac running Yosemite, from an original QT mp4 converted to a .mov via quicktime for import into ProTools. The output was a standard .mov. I also tried converting it to an mp4 via QT, but the result was the same.
    This is a pretty alarming discovery as I now have to test any videos bounced from ProTools on a PC Windows Media Player to make sure someone doesn't view it this way, with the audio sync appearing incorrectly.
    Anybody know why this happened? Or how to prevent it in the future?

    you can buy and use the WMV Studio windows media export components from Flip4Mac which wil allow you to export to a windows media format directly from FCP and other suitable QT compliant apps ...
    or you can copy the file over onto your own quicktime enabled PC and use the free, and much faster, windows media encoder there.

  • Audio sync drifts w quicktime or mpeg-2 ac3 in quicktime or dvd studio pro

    Sorry to post twice but question wasn't asked right so I posted again with the subject correct as I didn't know how to delete other that said audio drifted opening in compressor which isn't the case this is about audio drifting that is perfect in a final cut pro sequence, perfect when I look at a self contained quicktime made, but when I import into dvd studio pro even before making a dvd and just looking at the video and sound in tracks as assets, it's already drifting, and is still the same if I make a dvd:
    This is very perplexing.
    My audio is spot on for sync in final cut sequences.
    When I make a quicktime self contained and open it in final cut it is also perfect.
    If I open that same finished self contained file in quicktime or place it in dvdstudio pro, there's what looks like moments the picture is faster than the sound but not always....it is not a lot like maybe 5 frames or so sometimes worse at times...this project is 90 minutes...it occurs in and out throughout not just at the top or the end.
    This is the same both for the quicktime self contained with its aiff files and the mpeg with ac3 files the same amount of drift I can see when dropped into dvdstudio pro in the same places it appears...I checked the source audio files and don't see a difference
    sound is mostly source 16 bit, there are music parts that were originally 24 but this isn't necessarily where this drift occurs it occurs in places where it's just dialogue.
    Compressor version is 3.05 final cut studio 2 with latest updates

  • Premiere Elements 8: Audio sync problem when exporting to Quicktime H.264

    Program plays back fine on the timeline also when saved as a mpeg file. QT file audio sync is off. Using QT player to play back. Any thoughts?

    Check you have the very latest version of QuickTime (7.7.1 at time of writing): QuickTime 7.7.1 for Windows

  • Export as QuickTime Movie - lose audio sync

    I have a 10 minute project that basically is a sequence of 10 nested sequences. It is an HDV project. I need to export it as a QuickTime Movie to maintain the ability to show it in HD. When I do so (using Export->QuickTime Movie - I am not using "Using QuickTime Conversion"), I maintain "Current Settings". The resulting .mov file, when played back in QuickTime Player (or anything else) has a progressively severe loss of audio sync. This is not present when playing the project within the timeline in FCP (6.0.3).
    I have tried opening the project on a different computer with a virgin version of FCP 6.0.3, with the same results. I also made sure to render the individual sequences as well as the master sequence. I created a new sequence and added the individual chapters again, with the same result. I tried using the Media Manager to bring the project over to another computer - same problem. I also took this to an Apple One-to-One class with a FCP expert who couldn't figure it out either.
    I could really use some help here.

    First of all, thank you for responding.
    I don't have a capture delay. The audio rate is 48 khz.
    Interestingly, I had previously tried the separate export and stitching you suggested, but a strange thing occurred. If the resulting quicktime movie was created through a Save As... command, you wind up with a self-contained movie. When I did that, I started to get weird audio repetitions or dropouts as the movie went on. On the other hand, if I left it a reference movie, this didn't happen.
    Anyway, this is a workaround, but it means that the whole thing has to be done over every time I make any change at all, and I am also concerned about getting rid of this problem for the future.
    Any other thoughts?

  • After Effects PC Quicktime Audio Sync

    I'm putting this here for fellow PC-users who are experiencing this major frustration.
    When RAM previewing, your audio is in sync.  But after rendering, when you play back a rendered Quicktime movie in Quicktime player - no matter WHICH codec you render to - the audio is out of sync.  If you try playing it in a browser (Quicktime plugin), it is also out of sync.
    Fear not, PC users: your movie audio is not out of sync.  Quicktime playback via either standalone or browser plug-in is not playing the file properly.  You can test this a couple of ways: 1) Try playing it with VLC on your PC: magically, it's in sync.  2) Open your rendered movie on any Mac, or via a browser on any Mac: magically, it's in sync.
    The Quicktime platform and its various implementations continue to set the lowest standard, given the enormity of the resources at Apple, and its prevalence in production.  As a VFX and multimedia content creator for 20+ years, I wince every time a client asks for ProRes, lossy files, as "masters."  Between the inconsistent gamma-shift issues and local playback sync, I avoid using Quicktime wherever possible. 
    Hope this helps,
    _Mike

    Well, first off, my personal preference whenever any media comes to me is to immediately split the audio and video, and convert to .wav and image sequences.  With any .mov or .avi or .mp4-type container, one small corruption and the entire file is lost.  For safety's sake, image sequences are infintiely safer.  They're also easier during the production phase, where changes from a client can mean simple patching of just the relevant frames.  On tight deadlines, knowing that the entire output comp is ready to go at a moment's notice is often a lifesaver, and this allows me to make changes and re-output approval masters very quickly.  Time is money.
    My preferred image sequence codec is OpenEXR, but I'll use TIFF, or even PNG, depending.  Ultimately, I deliver client masters as uncompressed TIFFs with .wav and/or .aiff audio. For as long as I've been in post-production, these formats have been around and withstood the test of time.  Usually, clients will want some sort of Quicktime with the master files, in which case it's Animation (lossless) codec with embedded audio.  But I can't sleep at night knowing how easily corruptible that is as a master, so I provide it in addition to the image sequences and audio files.
    During production, I'll render to whatever the client wants to see/whatever's easiest, and I have plenty of Macs and PCs around here, though my primary workstation is PC.  Locally, I render my disposable tests to After Effects' default: lossless .avi.  I posted the original information about working with Quicktime above because I see this error 1000x a week, as many of my clients like to see .h264 media, and about 1% of them ever seem to notice the [obvious!] gamma issues or sync problems.  These are the world's biggest media corporations spending millions, and they rarely seem to notice or care.  Miss a word in the legal disclaimer, though, and they can see that in 6-point type from across the room...  priorities.

  • Quicktime audio sync issues

    Hello,
    I have quicktime version 10 (128).   I can't get anything to play in it without there being severe audio sync issues every time.  I can't figure out why.  Can someone please help me fix this problem? 
    When I export my movies from imovie to quicktime it will play in quicktime, properly and without sync issues, for a really short period of time - seconds.  But after that, the audio no longer matches the video.   I know it's an issue in QT because when I upload the video to YouTube there are no audio sync issues whatsoever.
    Help?
    Thank you so much,
    YahYah

    I am dissapointed to see that no one has addressed this issue. I have similar issues.
    The MP4's play perfectly in the quicktime player but in Premiere they are off by varying degrees sometimes up to a minute even. I had similar problems in the past with files from the same producer. However last time I was able to  change the extension before importing and then sync them up manually on the timeline. It worked everytime. This time however when I change the extension Premiere brings it in as an audio only file.

  • Audio Sync Issue When Exporting to Quicktime

    Currently using Premiere Pro CS3 3.2 and Quicktime 7.5.5
    When I export to a quicktime .mov, my audio is a few frames out of sync. I've tried downgrading to older versions of quicktime with no success. Everything is completely in sync inside Premiere. If I import my rendered out-of-sync .mov back into Premiere, it magically syncs up fine again. It's the weirdest thing.
    Help!

    Scott:
    There is a workaround.
    I never really found a solid cause/solution, but if you're noticing that you have a couple of white frames at the end of your Quicktime exports, then you're probably suffering the same problem I have. Tech people I have checked with have suggested that the problem may be related to the use of .mp3 sound files (as opposed to .wav) in the Premiere project, but after removing them and replacing them with .wav's the problem persisted.
    I am not technical enough to figure out exactly what's causing the problem, but I think it must have something to do with the Adobe Media Encoder (at least how it works on my computer). From what I've read on the subject, the Media Encoder is Premiere's Achilles's Heel.
    Changing versions of Quicktime did nothing. Others trying to solve this problem have tried exporting their files with every conceivable variation of options and settings in the Adobe Media Encoder with no positive result.
    I'm not the only one with this issue, but searches of the Internet show it to be relatively rare, so it's probably some weird glitch somewhere deep in my system. It's not widely-reported enough for anyone to care about addressing this bug. Of the few people that I've found suffering from this anomaly, none have found a fix.
    But the good news is that I have found a workaround that accomplishes getting a quicktime file out properly that does work for me. I avoid the Adobe Media Encoder completely.
    Step 1: Go to File > Export > Movie, and under Settings > General choose QuickTime, under Video > Compressor choose H.264, then Uncompressed Audio. I have not experimented with other settings, but believe that most of them will do just fine.
    If you examine the quicktime file you've just exported, you'll see it works just swell; i.e. no white frames at the end of the movie and the sound syncs up perfectly. Okay, sounds great---but there's no way to limit the data rate using this method, which means we're stuck with a ridiculously large file.
    The solution is to load the Quicktime file that you've just exported into Quicktime Pro, and now export it using data rate compression / sound compression options to suit your tastes. Bingo!
    The other workaround that I have heard from some is to export your movie (again, avoiding the Adobe Media Encoder, instead using File > Export > Movie) as an Uncompressed AVI, and then compress with QT pro as before. This method didn't work for me, something about not having the proper codec on my system to read the AVI file that was exported, which makes absolutely zero sense but I couldn't find the right codec anywhere, even after identifying it with some super-duper codec identification utility. Go figure!
    So, you'll have to get QT Pro ($30 I think) to use this workaround, but it does work, and that's what counts. I have no idea if there's a QT Pro clone or similar program available out there. Compression/decompression and all that jazz is way beyond me and I'm just happy to be able to get my file finally out there in working condition.
    The only other bit of information I might share with you is that I tried searching the Internet at great length to try and solve this issue, but on the rare occasion I did find someone suffering this problem they were as confounded and frustrated as I was, and no one had a real solution. I continued to search with different search terms and tripped over the clues to this solution when searching for "white frame problem" in relation to Premiere. I even believe that if you search the Abobe forums you may find some posts about it, so if you're inclined to learn more about it, I suggest concentrating your searches with terms that refer to the white frame problem/issue, instead of the terms I used for so long, such as "Premiere Audio Sync Quicktime" and the endless permutations thereof.
    But I'll bet this workaround works for you. Let me know, and if you'd like me to try it on one of your exports on my computer I'd be happy to give it a go.
    I have often wondered if upgrading to CS4 would solve this problem. Are you using CS3 like me? If I could be sure CS4 made this issue vanish I would jump on it, but there just isn't enough information out there to know for sure. I'm inclined to think not.
    Please do let me know if this solution works for you, or if you dig up any new information.
    Thanks!

  • Quicktime TOAST VIDEO CD export, mpg files, audio sync out

    I used the TOAST VIDEO CD option from my FINAL CUT PRO 3.0 version to make mpg videos to upload to my website, so it seems to be the easiest format where a PC platform and MAC platform can both run this file...
    well lately, i can't remember what i've changed, if anything, but the files that I export, become out of (audio) sync when they become mpgs. However, I can do mp4 and its fine, or any other format. But when I do video toast cd (.mpg), and I play the file on the laptop, its audio is out of sync. I am running QT 7.0.1 downgraded from 7.0.4, that i was using earlier... with Final Cut Pro 3.0, and running Mac OSX 10.3.9
    please someone help me with this, its driving me nutso!
    please

    It sounds (no pun intended) like a Toast problem.
    QuickTime doesn't export to MPEG-1 or 2 formats and it isn't involved with the conversion. Maybe you can find an answer in a Toast user forum (if any).
    I've never had any issues using the steps you use but my conversions were from original QT formats (not .avi) and the files were under 5 minutes.

  • IPad 3 audio sync issue when video imported into CS5.5

    Hi everyone, long time lurker here, love the support you guys are giving!
    I'm hoping you'll be able to help with an audio sync problem I'm experiencing with videos recorded with the latest iPad 3 (well, that's what I'm calling it anyway).
    I believe the iPad 3 recording format is 1080/30p with 44.1Khz / 16 bit audio, but when I match those settings on a Premiere Pro CS5.5 project (or try 48KHz audio as a test), the audio gradually goes out of sync. If the video is several minutes long, it becomes quite obvious, and by 10 minutes, it's terrible!
    I should add the file plays back fine on the iPad itself and was imported to a Mac via iTunes. It also plays fine on the Mac itself in Quicktime.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on project settings that'd work?
    On a related note, I additionally captured the audio using a Zoom H2n which i intended to replace in Premiere, but foolishly I captured it at 48KHz, rather than the 44.1KHz of the iPad video file. Should I resample it?
    I actually managed to line-up the 48 and 44.1KHz waveforms from the iPad and Zoom in Premiere quite accurately, but again both gradually go out of sync with the video...
    I'm running Premiere Pro 5.5.2 on Mac OSX 10.7.3.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
    Gordon Laing

    To update my original post, I have found this problem happens about half the time.
    Sometimes there's no issue and the audio is in sync when imported into Premiere, but at other times it's way off.
    I did however find a workaround which has resolved the problem on my iPad3 videos which were out of sync and that was to first import the video clip into iMovie on the Mac first, then simply export it again using the 1080p option. The subsequent file is much larger (so there's been an annoying re-encode), but when imported into Premiere, the audio is at least now in sync.
    I used this to fix the audio on a couple of the videos you can find on this page (all of which apart from the last one were filmed on the iPad3)
    http://www.cameralabs.com/features/Working_holiday/
    Since the video wasn't exactly critical to start with, I'm not too bothered by the re-encode.
    Let me know if this fix works for anyone, and also if anyone comes up with a different solution.
    Thanks,
    Gordon

  • IPhone 4 Audio Syncing Problem

    Hi,
    I have a slightly bizarre audio syncing issue.
    I have a brand new iPhone 4 which works perfectly in every respect except that it seems incapable of playing audio files which are synced from iTunes on my PC.
    I am using iTunes version 10.1.1.4 on an Acer Aspire Laptop running Vista.
    The iPhone 4 is also running the latest software and has not been modded or otherwise messed around with in any way.
    The salient points:
    1. All AAC (.m4a) files synced from iTunes on PC to iPhone do not play at all.
    2. All mp3 files synced from iTunes on PC to iPhone appear to get 'chopped-up' during the syncing process into largish chunks which are then re-assembled into the wrong order. The iPhone will then quite happily play these re-assembled mp3s time and time again. (e.g. original track gets broken down during syncing into random sections a-b-c-d-e and track then turns up on iPhone as say c-b-e-d-a).
    3. Any (m4a format) track downloaded directly from iTunes Store to the iPhone plays perfectly on the iPhone. If said track is then synced to PC, removing it from iPhone and then synced back to iPhone, it then refuses to play on iPhone.
    4. Any (mp3 format) track downloaded from the web directly to the iPhone plays perfectly on the iPhone. If said track... you get the chop-chop thing again.
    5. All tracks at all times play flawlessly on iTunes on the PC.
    Any clever suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • Problems with Audio Sync and Rendering

    In both problems what happens is NOT consistent. If were, would think was a setting or something I was doing wrong.
    About the rendering problem. I capture either through FCP Log and Capture or through my analog to digital "box", Formac Studio TVR. In both cases record in DV setting. When I then Import these files about 3 out of 4 times they need full rendering. But doing all things the same, there is that 1 out of 4th time where no rendering is needed at all. Does not seem to matter whether I capture through FCP or Foremac. Results seem the same. Like I said to begin with, if was consistent would figure that is just how the program is. But due to the time it takes to do a render, sure would be nice if could be avoided some way.
    Regarding the Audio Sync. At times, maybe 1 out 10 times, the audio is bad. It begins at the beginning of the film being out of sync maybe two or three frames. But then every 10 minutes of film it progressively get's worse, losing a good 6 to 10 frames as one goes. I can fix by doing a lot of cutting and then moving the film around till it is in sync again, but as you can imagine takes a LOT of extra work. Any ideas as to why this is happening and what could be done to prevent in future??
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    I've used flip4mac for about a year and have had no problems with it. I mostly use it to export preview versions for windoze people. The quality is very good, though it takes significantly longer to export than a similar-quality quicktime movie.

  • Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Having trouble with Audio Sync in FCExpress

    Hello, everyone...a question for the board.
    I recently acquired a new iMac with Final Cut Express...planning to try some video editing at home.
    I haven't been successful with the proper configuration for captured video, however...using a Sony TRV-900 as my source, video feeding in via firewire 800 (I bought a 400/800 adapter to make it work), and ingesting using NTSC Basic...however, my audio is still not in sync with the video--the video is always ahead, and it jumps further ahead the more I ingest.
    Is there some configuration I need to use so that the audio syncs correctly? Is it, as I suspect, a drop-frame issue that I haven't set up correctly?
    Any help you could throw my way would be very much appreciated.

    I realize that most DV cameras will record in 32 and 48 sampling rates. What I'm trying to get you to do is see what you've ALREADY recorded.
    Open one of the captured clips in QuickTime, then hit Command j to see the movie properties. Or in FCP, right-click on a captured clip and choose Item Properties to see what audio you are trying to capture. Once you know that, create a Sequence with those settings, then capture any remaining footage with those settings. If needed, recapture any footage that was previously captured using the wrong settings.
