Audio timeline out of sync with audio

I took an audio note using an iphone application called Moe's Notes. I emailed the audio as an attachment to myself. The note is in .caf format but I also generated an .aif version. I dragged the audio onto the timeline in Garageband and it plays, but I noticed that the audio is out of sync with the wave display. Also, the second part of the audio recording plays, but does not visibly show up as a waveform.
Any ideas? I resorted to Audacity to edit my audio.

trash your waveform cache and see what happens when you restart the program.

Waveform Display in Timeline out of sync with Audio

This is only the case with one clip out of a capture, and happens on any sequnece I move the clip to. It was not previously the case as I used the waveforms to cut out off camera interview questions before. Now the waveform does not match the clip at all. Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Thanks!

Video playback on pc out of sync with audio

hello, play back on iPhone all ok but when I play it on my pc the video lags and the audio is out of sync.
heres the strange part. If i create a project with the video using iMovie and do not edit it at all and save it as 1080hd, that video plays on pc all ok

Q? Are you using Quicktime to play the video on your PC or other video player like Real Player?
As some 3rd party players may not sinc right or you may have to download a newer codec.
I use GOM player and it works well on my PC for video from iPhone 4S.
Hope this helps.

Exporting keynote to iDVD audio is out of sync with presentation

I am working in Keynotes '09 I have a presentation that is time perfectly when I run the slide show. I have a totally different problem when sending it to iDVD or to Quicktime the recorded audio is out of timing with the presentation. I tried everything but nothing seems to be working, Tech Support can't seem to help me out. The problem is not within Keynotes as far as I can tell. It plays fine in Keynotes. It is happening in the export via QuickTime or to iDVD. Does anybody have a clue as to how I can resolve this issue. Audio is checked when syncing there is sound in iDVD it is completely out of sync with the bullets point and overlapping spoken text from sentence to the next. I used an AAc Encoder on the spoken text synced into itune placed spoken text in to keynotes. should I have used MP3 encoding? that is the only thing I have not tried.

Hi Steve,
I'm having a similar, if not exactly the same problem. I often download files from my Beyonwiz PVR, convert them to mpeg and DV files using MPEG Streamclip (with Quicktime MPEG playback component), then burn a disc with iDVD. Since upgrading to Lion, I notice that the audio in these files, and the burnt DVD in particular, can be slightly out-of-sync with the video. Although the effect is slight, it's completely unacceptable in my book - its like trying to watch something that been badly dubbed. I find it to be a very jarring effect to watch voices and intonation out of sync with the picture.
I'm not sure where the problem lies - is it Quicktime, MPEG Streamclip, and/or iDVD ?

Video runs slow on firefox and out of sync with audio with abode flash 12.

Ever since I installed adobe flash player 12 my videos run slow and out of sync with the audio it is like it pauses for a couple seconds and starts back working and keeps doing that.

Hi jth10,
The troubleshooting steps provided by Adobe can be found here: [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_For_Windows_users]
* Are there any settings in the Flash settings manager that changed when you updated? [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html]
*These are the recommended settings for specific resolutions [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/poor-video-quality-flash-player.html]
You can also try to disable hardware acceleration in the Adobe settings menu.

My audio gets out of sync with my video after capturing from Sony XDCAM

Everything was fine. I captured content from my Sony XDCAM, created pieces, no problem. Imported a .mov from my older FCP (5.1.4). FCP told me I needed to change my settings in order to use the .mov with my current timeline. I said OK, fine. Now, when I capture from my XDCAM some of the audio is in sync but it goes out fairly quickly. Any Ideas? I noticed in the bin the clips which are out of sync have a different data rate then the good ones. HELP!

Audio falls out of sync with FCP sequence after export from STP

Hey all,
editing sound on a short film. sent FCP sequence to sweeten the dialog and add effects, according to the timeline it is the same length as sequence length in
FCP, but when exporting from STP to FCP to complete movie, the sound ends up being about 10 frames longer than the video and starts in sync and falls out of sync over the duration of the film.
Have tried changing preference settings in STP, exported about 5 ways to breakfast and all have same result.
Anyone have a solution to this problem?
Much thanks,
Holly

I just experienced this same thing, and as Christof says, it had to do with 'Easy Setup' and 'all formats'. I've been editing a picture shot on RED in Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) at 2K (2048 x 1152) and 24fps...FCS 3 (FCP 7 latest version). Whenever you trash preferences or start up FCP new, you get the 'easy setup' menu. Previously, I could just hit 'okay' and go ahead into FCP and change the settings/resolutions within the project...even if the 'easy setup' default was, say, DV/NTSC 29.97. Also, when opening up an active project after trashing prefs, the project itself would still have the same editing/playback settings/resolutions, even if the 'easy setup' window had its default DV/NTSC setting. Plus, if you create a new timeline and its default is one format, once you drop a different format into it, it asks you if it should adjust to that format anyway, and of course, you say yes and everything is fine.
Well....in this most recent FCP update, whenever I'd export an AIFF from the timeline and reimport....or if I'd just import an AIFF...it would do something to the playback rate of that newly imported/reimported sound file and suddenly its sync has drifted all over the place within just a minute or so. But strangely, it wouldn't do it to audio that's attached to picture (.mov/MP4/etc.)....only isolated audio files (AIFF/WAV). So naturally, I wondered if something was going on during the export process or the like.
The solution is to make sure that when you open FCP (newly, or after trashing prefs), make sure you pick the settings/format/framerate in that 'Easy Setup' window that matches what you intend to edit as closely as possible. In my case, the format is Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), 2048 x 1152 @ 24fps, and I use a Blackmagic Multibridge so I have settings for it. Hence......*Format; HD, Frame Rate: 24, Use: Blackmagic HDTV 1080P 24 - 10 bit.* Whereas the default upon startup is....Format: (all formats), Frame Rate: 29.97, Use: DV/NTSC 48KHz.
You can also set these in the 'Audio Video Settings' menu. Now, whenever I export and reimport an AIFF, or just import an AIFF (like the soundmix prepared by our sound designer), sync stays and there's no drift. So make sure you've picked the right settings when starting or reopening a project, again as Christof pointed out.

Teouble with audio becoming out of synce with video.

Hello, I'm using final cut to edit my videos but for some reason, FCP has been giving me some issues. In my work flow I often layout two long video track in the timeline, then I will chop up the top track to create transitions from the top to the bottom and vise versa. as soon I press play, it the video will start off in a slower speed almost as if the computer is overloaded, then it catches up to normal speed in about a second. This has really been driving my crazy. It also effects the way video syncronizes with audio. I can lay both video tracks on top of one another perfectly in sync with the audio, but as sometime once it get's to new scene or the video switches to another track the audio is no longer in sync with the video. sometimes I can stop the footage, then press space bar to copntine and the audio and video will be in sync. This is really weird and I was wondering if anyone has any answers for me. I'm pretty sure it's not an overload on the system because the projects are rather small, and I'm using a quad core 2.5, with 5 gig of ram. and this is my graphic card info

Yes. Those that are designed to work with A/V files will work better.
Drives from G-tech and Granite Digital are worth a very close look.
However, if you have an empty drive bay in your G5, a second internal SATA drive is the better choice.
good luck.

Why is my audio is out of sync with my video on hd capture from sony camera

My System
Win 7 64 Bit
Asus P5Q-E Motherboard
4 GIGS DDR Patriot Ram
Pentium quad 2.8
Ati Video Card
Onboard Audio
CS3 Premiere And Encore
I have a Sony HVR Z series HD camera from sony. I will capture a tape and it will be out of sync. I will then recapture and it may be in sync or not, this is really frustrating especially for music videos and weddings, actually a nightmare. I'm not quite sure as to the reason as it happens in Adobe Premiere cs3 and cs4. I have updated everything. Do you thing I need a 10000 RPM os system drive. Any help would be appreciated.
Joan

I have 2 Sony HDR FX1 and 1 Sony HVR Z1U and it works great in both CS3 & CS4 so something is wrong with your setup or camera.
I only have a 7200 SATA drive for capture.
I dont know if a bad cable would cause this.
Harm has a couple other ways to capture that he says it keeps the audio in sync better but I have yet tried it but im sure from what I have read here that it works good.
Here is a link to his Tools Article.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/504907
Here are those 2 capture ways:
Capture
Scenalyzer: http://www.scenalyzer.com/main.html for capturing SD material
HDVSplit: http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm for capturing HDV material
Hope this helps: Glenn
EDIT:
I have an 5 year old system.
On Bills PPBM4 test you can see that I scored second to LAST on speed so even my system can capture fine.

Take the test and see how your system is running. It doesnt take to long.

IPod Video out of sync with audio.

Hey guys.
I recently purchased a video ipod and was looking for ways to convert my videos & DVD's to work on my ipod.
So far I've done
cucusoft
psp9
videora
pqdvd
pocketdvix
quicktime (freezes up on my pc, and takes ages to convert)
and i've yet to find any way of stopping the audio and video from being out of sync (by anything from half a second to about 7 seconds) with one an other...
is there a program or technique I could use that will enable me to watch video that is in sync with the audio?
on a footnote, the quicktime does work but regulalarly shuts down on my computer and takes WAY too long to convert.
Please help me out here guys as I am reaching the end of my tether.
Thanks.
/\Ben/\

hi -- i've tried nearly all the programs you have, and have finally gotten the pq dvd to ipod video converter to work out of all of them. btw, the xilisoft one does NOT work, and i'm trying to get my money back from them, so buyer beware!
anyway, i found the issue to be the frame rate -- on movies, i was able to use 30fps successfully (worked for star wars, for example), but on native tv show dvd's (such as sex and the city) i had to use 24fps.
see if that works for you.

Video out of sync with audio when using airphoil

Hey I was wondering if it was possible for me to use airfoil with a movie. It's just that there is a time delay in the sound there for the video and sound go completely out of sync.
Note: Airphoil is like using airtunes speakers.Airphoil is an app that allows someone to transmit sounds from any app to a bass station instead of just from iTunes.

Saad Attieh wrote:

yes, many users reported having made that same observation. seems like the app still needs some improvement. on the other hand, it may be a limitation of airtunes ...

Audio is out of sync with video

I have a project that includes still photos, video clips and background music. I did all the basic stuff (clip trimmer to mark the beats, aligned the photos/videos to the beats, etc.). It all works well except there's a glitch in the transition between two of the videos.
At the end of the first clip, there's a short segment (1-2 seconds) where the first clip turns into a still and the audio from the second clip starts while the first clip is still displayed. Throughout the second clip, the audio is off. If I start playing from the second clip, the audio is in synch.

CP4.0: Audio is out of sync with slides

Hi,
All my audio recordings, motion captures, highlights and captions are perfectly fine in edit mode, but when I publish the video, the output files are mixed up.
Somehow, the audio file from slide 36 (of a 59-slide project) starts playing from the very beginning and continues to loop throughout the whole video while the rest of the video is proceeding forth properly. In other words, throughout the whole video, there are always two sound files playing - the file from slide 36 and the other sound files assigned to each slide.
It's cacophonous (and I'm not on drugs - though highly caffeinated!).
Some background:
a) I am making 2 videos. Video #2 is a variation of video #1.
b) Video #1 turned out perfectly.
c) Being that many sound files for video #1 would apply to video #2, I exported the mp3s to a desktop folder.
d) For video #2, I imported the sound files described in (c) to respective slides. I edited many of the sound files in video #2.
e) When I was done with everything in video #2, I tried both F4 and Publish, and in both cases, the same sound problem.
f) I had a similar problem awhile ago, and in the past was able to rename mp3 files then reimport to each slide (a solution I'd read about on these forums). So, I did that to all 59 slides for video #2. No luck!
e) I checked for Captivated 4 updates and ran an update. Tried publishing again. Same problem.
Can someone provide any insight as to why this is happening? How I can fix this?
I'd sure hate to rerecord the audio. It's a very boring read.
Thanks!
Ruth

Ruth,
I have been able to fix the problem with adding a second on each slide. So all but 7 of my slides now are in sync. I had one slide change, not play its narration as the narration from the previous slide finished. And then it move on to the next slide. According to the manual, you can adjust the speed of the slide transition. So I am playing with the timeline for each slide. I am almost there. I didn't have any change of slides after the first transition to almost perfect synchronization with all but 7 slides out of 60, including one skip over. It seems each problem solved creates a new problem. I fixed resolution by adjusting the resolution settings. I enabled the variable showing of the slide based on the narration, rather than the default 3 seconds. So I am making progress.
Thanks for responding,
Paul

.3gp video is out of sync with audio, anyone have a fix or solution?

The sync is only on some clips. When I play the clips back in the QT player they are fine. Premiere CS5 is what I'm running. Is there something I am missing? The frame rate and audio match what QT reports.

You might want to explore some conversion programs, that will allow you to do batch processing. Personally, I use an older shareware program, DigitalMedia Converter 2.7 (Deskshare), but am on a PC, have not tried their newer versions, including their "Pro" version. There must be similar conversion programs available for your platform, that WILL allow you to load them up, make the necessary settings, and then batch the whole bunch. Doing it one at a time, for 50, would get my attention.
Good luck, and if you find a conversion program, that does what you need, with your source files, and then can do it in batch, please let us all know.

Clip audio is out of sync with video

After analyzing the clip the code tells the tale. The audio is "shorter by 1 1/2 seconds yet the time line doesn't reflect it. I want to fix the problem but the tool I found requires the clip (red rectangular box with the +/- info.) to option/click on to be given the re-sync tool action. Other solutions require complicated solutions. My question is "What happened to cause this sync problem and how can I avoid it in the future. ie: no evidence of =/- red boxes to show that there is a problem even thought it clear when you look at the video clip ?

We are missing fundamental information:
What codec does your source footage use?
What is the audio sampling rate on the source footage?
What are the Sequence settings in FCP and does what you see there differ in any way to the properties of the source footage?
Version of Mac OS X, FCP and QuickTime?
Also; if you have a 2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Mac OS X 10.6.6, it's a Mac Pro, not a G5.
