Audio/ video unsynced when exporting?!

we have a FCP project that uses both HD and SD properties.
our video tracks are in 1080i60 and our audio is in 48k SD. when we export they become unsynced and the video jumps...what is the fastest fix to this...is there a fix?
we have also tried exporting the audio and video seperately and to different drives.

Yes... so SD refers to the definition of the image...
just because you have HD and SD, it doesn't mean that audio has the same attributes... 48kHz / 16bit audio is a 'standard'... you don't get 48k HD audio, nor do you get 48k SD audio...

Problem with audio sample rate when exporting

I am having an issue with my audio sample rate. For some reason it is set at 8 khz by defualt when I am exporting. This was not an issue until the latest update (2 weeks ago). I'll try and give all the info I can up front. Also I tried customer support...that was a nightmare.
Ok the issue I am addressing is that the audio sample rate when exporting is at 8khz by default. Which to my knowledge has NO relevant use what so ever. Even when I set the file format to h.264 it insists on resetting to 8khz. Even if I manually set everything look at the render queue and click on output module again it changes the sample rate back to 8 khz automatically which I must adjust again. Why can it not just be set at 48000 like every other adobe product is and like it used to be two weeks ago. Does anybody have an answer?

This problem is addressed by the After Effects CC (12.2.1) bug-fix update, which is now available:

Note the part at the end of that page about a crucial update for the Creative Cloud desktop application, which addresses some severe problems with AME, Premiere Pro, and After Effects.

Audio losing sync when exporting to .mov

I've been using Flash for a while now, but I'm still very much inexperienced with exporting .mov files, and this is the first time I have tried to export a large project that contained audio. The problem is that the audio plays faster than the animation, and is very much out of sync by the end, with the audio playing several seconds before it is supposed to. I have tried every setting I can think to change, and tried rendering the same .swf file in After Effects. However, in After Effects, even when I make sure to have audio in the output, the rendered video had no sound. All sound on the timeline is set to stream and not event.
Any help is appreciated. I honestly don't have much of a clue what I'm doing.

1.If you have placed your audio on the timeline, make sure you put everything to stream.
export a large project
2.Make sure your computer has a lot of processing power: playing and recording at the same time requires a lot of RAM/CPU, look for idle processes and shut them down.
3.If nothing helps, record Audio/Video seperately and match them afterwards in AfterEffects/Premiere
4.Flash has a maximum amount of frames it can handle (16000 := 10 Minutes), if your project is getting near to that limit, try dividing your project.

AUDIO CLIPPING/DESTROYED WHEN EXPORTED TO QUICKTIME

Hi folks! Does Bob need your help today!
I am working on a sequence in Final Cut Pro. When I play it in the timeline, the audio sounds fine. However, when I export it to Quicktime, it is a lot louder and the audio clips like crazy (distorts/sounds destroyed). I am really in trouble here and just can't figure it out. I'm going nuts! All I want is to have what I have in the timeline exported as it is.
Some details to help you help me:
- although it sounds good when played in the timeline, the audio does stray into the red. I don't see why this should matter since it sounds fine in the timeline - this is all I want when exporting.
- I have one video track and several audio tracks.
To all who do, thanks so much for helping me.

Going into the red with digital audio is not the same as when it happens with analog audio.
With digital sound the signal is being truncated and as you remarked, quite literally being destroyed.
Redlining analog audio, is introducing distortion but there is still "headroom" and in reasonable doses it can give you a nice fuzzy feeling.
Bottom line -don't let your digital audio signal go into the red.

Poor video Quality when exporting to DVD

I cant seem to get a clear video. I am downloading from DV from a canon and the quality is sentational.
When on the time line averything is brilliant. When rendereing everything is still ok.
When exporting to DVD it goes pear shaped. I have tried dozens of different variations with the same results.
I am in AUstralia and am using PAL.
I get motion blur and what appears to be very poor quality result after exporting.
Help... I dont have much hair left.
Premier Pro Tragic

@Harm,
"Pear-shaped" (or sometimes "fruit-shaped") is a euphemism meaning that the effort has gone awry; it was a mess.
@John,
Export to DVD is a PPro 2.0 function; in CS3 it is now Export to Encore. Is that what you meant?
First thing is to check the field orders of your source material and of your export settings. Don't invert them, and don't deinterlace interlaced footage.
Perhaps a short list of the settings you have tried (and why you chose those settings) would help us help you.

Audio cuts out when exported to quicktime

So I recorded audio in garage band, added it to my slides in keynote, went through and timed the bullets on all of my slides to coincide with the audio, then attempted to export it to quicktime. After several attempts in various formats the audio just cuts out before completing, usually after I click to advance another bullet in the slide. Come to think of it, I don't think the bullet advances either. I've been struggling with this for about two weeks after I realized that powerpoint was cropping my audio when I was recording it in that application. I'm just trying to record a lecture for an online course and it seems like every time I think I have a solution I come across another problem. Can anybody help me?

IMovie: Some parts of audio is missing when export?

When I play it inside iMovie, it works.
But then when it is export, either to iTunes, YouTube or MP4 format,
some parts of the audio is missing.
What should I do?

Looks like the 8.0.4 update to IPhoto may have broken its "share to iDVD" and Export functionality. There are a few Apple.com discussions on this topic.
I found that if I chose "Play each slide for a minimum of x seconds" and altered the duration of showing some slides, the audio would be missing when I exported the slideshow to iDVD.
However, using exactly the same music track from iTunes, if I chose the option to "Fit slideshow to music" then the audio worked perfectly when I exported to iDVD.
Dear Apple, can this please be fixed?

Audio filter problems when exporting to miniDV and as video file

I have used the DeNoiser filter on most of the audio in a 10 minute film i have made using CS4, however, when i ty and export it, either as an AVI, (or simular) or to tape, the filters arent working properly.
this happens sometimes in playback, i have to listen to the audio first before the filter works properly. if i dont it just makes the audio inaudiable the first time round.
it seems like it needs rendering, which isnt the case, and i have NO idea why it is doing this.

because it is rendered, i have clicked on "sequence -> render audio" and nothign happens, it just plays through like it would once it has finished rendring.
like i said, it plays fine in playback, most of the time, just not after it has been exported

Adobe Crashes upon adjusting Audio Gain and when exporting

First a bit about the systems in question
I have four identical edit bays. Each has a Dual Core 2.5 Ghz Pentium processor, 3.0 gbs of ram, a single sata drive split into two partitions (system 30 gb and video 470 gb). I am running up to date PPro 5.0.2, freshly installed on virgin drives. I was running Avsynth and FFdshow as a way to be able to import my old MJPEG footage, but thanks to Colin Brougham, I have that particular demon slain (and I am removing those two programs).I have two of the bays with the most up to date 64 bit manufacturer video and audio drivers, and two bays with Windows 7 automatically installed video and audio drivers. The problem is the same in all four bays.
We dump in one of two ways: either a direct DV dump via firewire or downloading .MXF files from our Panasonic P2 cameras via USB (can't seem to get the firewire PC dump to work correctly). The project settings I am using are DV-NTSC - Standard 48 Khz, with a slight change of requiring upper fields first (we're using a Maxx500 playout server, and it requires upper fields first). We have been experiencing intermittent crashes for a week and a half, but in the last few days they have picked up (no new updates applied, so its not that). I have two culprits:
One is an error code that thanks to this thread I know is related to the audio gain. My problem is that I have done everything I can think of and still no luck. It's been crashing with such regularity that my reporters are saving every few minutes, and I have the auto save set to 5 minutes. Today I had to reinstall this bay because it was crashing every time audio gain was adjusted.
My other problem relates to export. I use the MainConcept MPEG Encoder to output mpegs for the playout server, and about every fourth or fifth time the program will crash on export. Its not a pain to recover from, since at that point the reporters have saved and merely have to reopen and reset up the export, but it is happening far to regularly. Event Viewer references windows/system32/ntdll.dll as the faulting module. Again, I am having this error on two different bays, one with manufacturer drivers and one with Windows 7 installed drivers.
I know that despite my efforts I've probably not given enough info, so let me know what you need.

...downloading .MXF files from our Panasonic P2 cameras via USB (can't seem to get the firewire PC dump to work correctly).
That's correct. Avoid FW offloading on a PC; in fact, while it used to be the way to interface a P2 camera with a Mac, it's all USB there now, as well. Stick with USB, and you'll be fine. (I know this wasn't the gist of your thread, but I thought I'd shine a little light on that.)
One is an error code that thanks to this thread I know is related to the audio gain. My problem is that I have done everything I can think of and still no luck. It's been crashing with such regularity that my reporters are saving every few minutes, and I have the auto save set to 5 minutes. Today I had to reinstall this bay because it was crashing every time audio gain was adjusted.
This is known/acknowledged/as-yet-unsquashed bug, assuming that you're remapping your MXF audio channels from the two mono channels that are originally produced by the camera to a single stereo channel. You may be doing this manually, in the bin, or you might have a preference set to do this automatically on import (Edit > Preferences > Audio > Source Channel Mapping; if it's set to Stereo, try setting it to Use File). This bug only seems to rear its head when the mono channels of an MXF clip are remapped to stereo; if they remain as mono, you can use the Audio Gain command successfully.
If, however, your audio channels aren't stereo, post back; there might be something else going on.
My other problem relates to export. I use the MainConcept MPEG Encoder to output mpegs for the playout server, and about every fourth or fifth time the program will crash on export. Its not a pain to recover from, since at that point the reporters have saved and merely have to reopen and reset up the export, but it is happening far to regularly. Event Viewer references windows/system32/ntdll.dll as the faulting module. Again, I am having this error on two different bays, one with manufacturer drivers and one with Windows 7 installed drivers.
When you say "MainConcept MPEG Encoder," are you referring to the MPEG2 encoder that is part of Premiere/AME, or are you referring to some sort of add-on encoder?

Video freezes when exporting to Full Quality

[Background: I've been working on a video project in iMovie HD that I'm doing in pieces - exporting each section of the video at full quality when it's done, so that later I can put them all together in a new project.]
Lately I've been having major problems exporting to full quality Quicktime files. The exported video freezes a few frames in, though the audio continues to play normally. This does not happen if I save it to a smaller quality, say, Web Streaming.
I'm having trouble seeing a pattern in how/why/when this happens, too. I have successfully exported movies to full quality both before and after movies that export incorrectly. The first project that had this happen, I decided to reassemble bit by bit to find out if something specific was causing the problem. Turns out that Full Quality exporting started having this problem if I had added titles. After jumping through something like 50 hoops - exporting little pieces, reimporting, exporting just the titles, etc., etc - I managed to work around the issue. Bit of a headache but all seemed to be well.
BUT, the frozen video problem soon happened again. The next time I had this trouble exporting, there were no titles in the project at all, and the problem instead occurred once I added music. So there does not seem to be a pattern within iMovie itself. This makes me think it's either a Quicktime problem or something to do with my computer itself. I have 2GB of memory, 37GB of space left on my hard drive, and I'm running Quicktime 7.4.1 and iMovie HD 6.0.4.
Please help! I'm on a bit of a deadline, too. This is driving me crazy!

Thanks Matt. I am in the same boat as many people have obviously been in - trying to burn a DVD to a film fest deadline of tomorrow, and after 4 hours of trying to make a disk image, getting 'error during burn'.
I have one question.
a) In imovie, I clicked the 'create iDVD' button to create this project - which has problems burning.
b) Now if I simply try to drag that .mov file into the iDVD pane as you suggest, is that identical to what I have done in a) - in that we're operating with the same basic animal. Of so
c) I should try the process of exporting to .dv, reimporting to new imovie, redoing chapter markers and THEN dragging the package .mov to the iDVD pane - hoping that chapter markers are preserved.
Oh ... someone said one should try to save the .mov as a sel contained file. is that necessary?
Thank you for sitting in front of you Mac!

Audio settings ignored when exporting

Hi all,
I have fully up to date Captivate 5.
I have a captivate project that was created from a narrated PPT file, but when I choose to export no matter what audio settings i have (High, low, custom, any combination) the file size is exactly the same every single time. It is higher than the PPT that went into it, which makes me think it has stuck to it's default setting of high.
I have tried running as administrator, I have tried closing and opening and saving as other file names.
Nothing makes the slightest bit of difference to the size. There is no video, only a few slides with just text and some audio.
Could it be because there is a problem with the conversion from ppt? Or does it function better when audition is installed alongside.
I've never had a problem with Captivate before, but this is driving me crazy, I even pulled the audio out of the ppt, compressed it using another audio program, thus reducing the size of the exported file but the exported file is STILL too large and is now even bigger than the original PPT.
o0;
What in the heck is going on?

Easy now...it's no conspiracy,
Do you have any unused items in the Captivate library? That's often a cause of large published files.
The audio is embedded as part of the PPT, but you've also pulled it out, right?
When you extract it, what format is it in?
Don't compress the audio outside Captivate. My preferred practice is to import good-quality .wav audio into the CP project and let Captivate do the compression on publishing. In fact, though this may not be true with newer versions, I've found trying to add compressed audio just confuses CP and results in larger, lesser-quality audio files when CP tries to recompress the audio...
At any rate, try:
1. pull the audio out of the PPT.
2. Save the PPT as a new file.
3. Import it into the CP file (if necessary - personally, I'd almost rather rebuild the slides in CP rather than link-to an external PPT...though CP6 supposedly improves on that process)
4. Import the extracted audio files and add to each slide as needed.
5. Set the audio to mid-range and publish.
Any better?

Why is my video pixelated when exporting from Premiere Pro?

Hi,
I'm a musician wanting to make some basic videos for YouTube. The videos will consist of an intro (logo, title etc) and audio playing over a still image which will last the duration of the song. I've edited the still image for the video within Photoshop (CS5.1). The image is of a woman screaming and is intentionally very dark. When I export this image from Photoshop, the quality is excellent. When I then import this image into Premiere Pro (CS5.5) and export as the finished video, the quality of the image is significantly reduced and is rather pixelated. After spending hours searching online and trying different settings to achieve the result I want, I've had no luck, and I'm now in desperate need of a professional opinion. Is it possible to get the same quality image within the exported video as I get from an exported Photoshop file?
Things I've tried:http://www.ashmathos.com/Musici
Photoshop - Exporting image using different file types - .tif , .PNG , .PSD etc
Premiere Pro - Exporting video using different formats - .FLV , Quicktime and MPEG4
- Changing the Capture format between DV and HDV
- Different presets - AVCHD, HDV, DV - PAL/NTSC etc
Both the image exported from Photoshop and the video are 1080p (square pixels)
An example of what I've explained can be found here:
http://www.ashmathos.com/Musician/Test
(The video can be found below the image)
To any responders,
Thank you!

Can't you see how the video is pixelated? Mainly around the nose and forehead?
Nope. Looks fine when I watch it.

Premiere Pro CS3: bad video quality when exporting for YouTube

Hi!
I'm a newbie to this forum and yes, I've looked for an answer before posting. I'm also pretty new to Premiere Pro and I hope that the problem I'm having is more my fault than Premiere's (it most likely is.)
I have project, a little YouTube-Video. But whenever I export it, the quality is really poor. I've also tried rendering it with Windows Movie maker and, strangely enough, the quality is much better and closer to the original file. My big question is: what am I doing wrong?
Here are some additional info:
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
Windows 7 Professional, 32 Bit (PC)
The movie file was shot with a Sony DSC-W170 and is an .mpg file
Video:
640x480
10418kBit/s (total: 10483 kBit/s)
30fps
Audio:
64kBit/s
Mono
32kHZ
Project settings: DV-Pal
Standard-PAL-Video (4:3 Interlaced).
48 kHz (16 Bit) Audio
I used the Adobe Media Encoder for the export, H.264/YouTube. I've also tried several other settings, but I never get as good a result as with the Windows Movie maker. Can anyone please tell me how I can fix this? (Maybe the quality of the video already suffers when I import the files into Premiere Pro? The video in the source and the cutting window is very blurry.)
Here you can see for yourself what it looks like:
File rendered with Adobe Premiere CS3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTAyx6O27Dg
File rendered with Windows Movie Maker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVeoUOfM_uo&feature=youtu.be
I hope somebody can help me. If you need additional info which I haven't provided, ask away. Thank you so much in advance for your replies!

YT is set to privet.
Keep project settings and export settings same as camera.
Try H.264 (mp4) for export instead.

Experiencing video drift when exporting with AME, suggestions?

Hi,
I am trying to export fairly long videos (1 to 2 hours) using AME as H264/mp4 files. The original footage is an avi file. I have tried any number of presets and several different custom settings, but regardless, get audio and video that start to drift after about 10 minutes. Does any one have suggestions about what causes this, how to trouble shoot it, and how I might be able to remedy it?
Thanks for any input,
Sarah

The avi files have been captured from VHS tapes using sony vegas.
Often, when analog material is captured to digital via an A-D (Analog to Digital) capture card, there will be a tendency to have OOS, though it is usually constant and does not drift. This is also easily spotted in PrPro. This does not seem to be your case at all, as you do not experience any OOS (constant, or dynamic) in PrPro - only upon Export.
I downloaded the Digital Video Repair and it gives me a message that it can't read the files.
That Digital Video Repair cannot read from your DV-AVI files is puzzling. They should open right into that program, without a hiccup. Now, the H.264's will not open in that utility, and that would be expected.
From your screen-cap, I see that your H.264 Audio is AAC. This is a Mac Audio format. In your Export settings, can you choose PCM/WAV?
As another test, Can you Export from PrPro as a DV-AVI Type II file with PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit Audio and then Open that resulting file in QT Pro? From there, choose Export and choose the H.264 format. Test the resulting file in QT Player for OOS.
Could you tell me how I determine which H264 codecs I have?
Back in G-Spot, there is Tables for Audio and Video CODEC's. It will list all CODEC's installed on your machine with their names and details. Do not be alarmed, when it shows a bunch of MainConcept MPEG CODEC's as "broken." This is a false positive, because of the naming convention that Adobe uses, when it installs these CODEC's. While there might be other reasons for this, let's basically say that Adobe "hides" these CODEC's, so that other programs cannot overwrite them, or otherwise break them. Again, do not be alarmed by this. All you want to do is find out which H.264 CODEC you have.
The reason for my question is that some folk have had better luck with the Apple, or with the MainConcept, than with the other. There seems no rhyme or reason why one works better for some people, than the other, but reports seem to be about 50:50 on which one works best in the particular instances. If one does not do a good job, it seems that in most cases, the other one will. Why? I haven't a clue.
Good luck, and hope that the meeting goes well,
Hunt
