Best way to handle audio out of sync?

I've got a Panasonic PV-GS120.
Easy Setup is set to:
- DV Panasonic DVCPRO
- DV-NTSC 32kHz FireWire Basic
After doing some digging, it appears the properties on my captured video show an audio rate of 32000.3. Whereas my sequence shows 32kHz even. Couple of questions:
1) Can I stop this from happening?
2) Here's what I did to "fix" it, but I don't know if it's best or if this will even work when I start adding multiple captured clips (could be quite a pain to do it with each clip).
I used the slip tool to offset the audio to +3. That put my video at a -3. I then selected Modify > Mark in Sync to get them aligned.
So all looks great, but dreading the thought of doing this every time, for every clip. As I understand it, this only applies to the timeline portion and not the actual clip as represented in the bin. Meaning, I can't do it just one time. I would have to do it every time I add a portion to the timeline. Ugh.
So in summary:
1) How can I stop this from happening?
2) Am I handling it in the most efficient way (if I can't prevent it from happening?)
Thanks.

Well, albeit very coincidental, it appears that the problem is actually with my camera. I say coincidental because this just started happening at the same time I bought FCE and started using it. But, I am able to now record a segment (2 minutes or so), play it back through the camera, and choppy audio will start to emerge. I have changed audio settings and even used a couple new tapes, but it is still occurring. So, time to get a new recorder, it would appear.
I'm not too upset though because I learned a lot more about FCE and video capture settings through the process. thanks for everyone's help!

(workflow question) - What is the best way to handle audio in a large Premiere project?

Hey all,
This might probably be suitable for any version of Premiere, but just in case, I use CS4 (Master Collection)
I am wrestling in my brain about the best way to handle audio in my project to cut down on the time I am working on it.
This project I just finished was a 10 minute video for a customer shot on miniDV (HVX-200) cut down from 3 hours of tape.
I edited my whole project down to what looked good, and then I decided I needed to clean up all the Audio using Soundbooth, So I had to go in clip by clip, using the Edit in SoundBooth --> Render and Replace method on every clip. I couldn't find a way to batch edit any audio in Soundbooth.
For every clip, I performed similar actions---
1) both tracks of audio were recorded with 2 different microphones (2 mono tracks), so I needed only audio from 1 track - I used SB to cut and paste the good track over the other track.
2) amplified the audio
3) cleaned up the background noise with the noise filter
I am sure there has to be a better workflow option than what I just did (going clip by clip), Can someone give me some advice on how best to handle audio in a situation like this?
Should I have just rendered out new audio for the whole tape I was using, and then edit from that?
Should I have rendered out the audio after I edited the clips into one long track and performed the actions I needed on it? or something entirely different? It was a very slow, tedious process.
Thanks,
Aza

Hi, Aza.
Given that my background is audio and I'm just coming into the brave new world of visual bits and bytes, I would second Hunt's recommendation regarding exporting the entire video's audio as one wav file, working on it, and then reimporting. I do this as one of the last stages, when I know I have the editing done, with an ear towards consistency from beginning to end.
One of the benefits of this approach is that you can manage all audio in the same context. For example, if you want to normalize, compress or limit your audio, doing it a clip at a time will make it difficult for you to match levels consistently or find a compression setting that works smoothly across the board. It's likely that there will instead be subtle or obvious differences between each clip you worked on.
When all your audio is in one file you can, for instance, look at the entire wave form, see that limiting to -6 db would trim off most of the unnecessary peaks, triim it down, and then normalize it all. You may still have to do some tweaking here and there, but it gets you much farther down the road, much more easily.Same goes for reverb, EQ or other effects where you want the same feel throughout the entire video.
Hope this helps,
Chris

Best way to handle audio and video?

Can someone give me suggestions on best way to handle audio and video clips. 2 issues:
Audio- I want to avoid problems for visitors who may need to install something to listen, and would like them to be able to remain viewing page while listening. I understand how to set up the Iweb player option, and I understand how to simply link to a mp3 file that relies on the visitors player. I'm thinking I need to "embed a player" (?) which is something I haven't dealt with yet.
Video- I have a link to a .mov file. It plays it in either a real small box, or if you enlarge it , the image deteriorates. Is there a better way to handle this?

Best way to handle text files in OD10g

We have a requirement to store reports in text format into a database field, to be able to view the reports, and to print them if desired using Forms 10g. What is the best way to handle this?
- define the field in the database as clob or blob?
- if CLOB is the choice, what tools to use to upload CLOBs to the database (since webutil transfer is for blob only)?
- in Forms 10g, can one use the Forms data type LONG for CLOB?
- can you do Forms search on clob and blob fields?
- how can reports that are stored in fields be viewed without first downloading to the client workstation?
- in Forms 10g, what is the best way to view text files residing in local PCs: "host notepad myFile"?
Thanks much for your reply!

iDVD does not look at the size of your video file, it looks at the length. iDVD can accomodate up to 2 hours of movie
iDVD gives you different options depending on the length of your movie. Although I won't agree with your friend about reducing the length of your movie to 15 minutes, if you could trim out a few minutes to get it under an hour that setting in iDVD (Best Performance though the new version may have renamed it) gives you the best quality. Still, any iDVD setting will give you good quality even at 64 minutes

Best way to handle all erros and get performance(OCI)?

Hi there,
Im using[b] Oracle Call Interface to execute batch file process. But I have got a problem.
I set ExecuteBatch with the same number of commit time, i.e: 100, 1000 or just 10, for thats ok.
((OraclePreparedStatement)globalStmt).setExecuteBatch(commit);
And I handle executeUpdate to catch all SQL Exceptions. I made some proposital files with invalid erros but when I handle "executeUpdate" it�s doesn�t get the corrent error line, and puts out another line that is corret.
((OraclePreparedStatement)globalStmt).executeUpdate();
Check in the code I concluded that its always get the same sequence of commit number like the error line. For example, I have between line 1 - 50 a line error, this line is 31, but I set the commit time for 50, its show me that line errror is 50 wherever 31. But if I put setExecuteBatch with '1' so it can handle corret lines erros, but the system performance bring down. What is the best way to handle all erros and keep the perfronace?
Sorry for my english, I am not native. Thanks all.

So by doing this, everything will transfer and look exactly the way I have it on the old machine?
That is correct, if your old machine is Intel based after using MA the new machine will look just like the old machine. Here is information from Apple on MA, I'd recommend looking it over.
My recommendation is to answer NO when setting up the new machine when it asks "Are you moving from another Mac?" The reason being let you new machine get set up and run for a couple of hours to ensure it's fine. Then launch MA and follow the prompts, it's very easy and if you use a fast connection like FW it should go smoothly.

Best way to handle large files in FCE HD and iDVD.

Hi everyone,
I have just finished working on a holiday movie that my octagenarian parents took. They presented me with about 100 minutes of raw footage that I have managed to edit down to 64 minutes. They have viewed the final version that I recorded back to tape for them. They now want to know if I can put it onto a DVD for them as well. Problem is the FCE HD file is 13Gb.
So here is my question.
What is the best way to handle this problem?
I have spoken to a friend of mine who is a professional editor. She said reduce the movie duration down to about 15mins because it's probably too long and boring. (rather hurtful really) Anyway that is out of the question as far as my oldies are concerned.
I have seen info on Toast 8 that mentions a "Fit to DVD" process that purports to "squash" 9Gb of movie to a 4.7Gb disk. I can't find if it will also put 13Gb onto a dual layer 8.5Gb disk.
Do I have to split the movie into two parts and make two dual layer DVD's? If so I have to ask - How come "Titanic", 3hrs+ fits on one disk??
Have I asked too many questions?

Take a deep breath. Relax. All is fine.

Best way to handle source files

Hi there,
After some pretty general advise please.
The company I work for looks after a lot of websites, and one
of the
headaches we have is the best way to handle source files. By
source files I'm
referring to Photoshop files, Flash .fla files and also other
none Adobe
files that relate to a site, not the .html, .asp, .aspx,
.css, .js etc type
files.
Now I'm NOT after a version control system, just a simple way
to store the
source files in a location that is separate from the website
but still to be
able to have a smooth workflow between the Dreamweaver site
and it's source
files.
At the moment, and I know this is unwise, we have a
subdirectory within the
site where we store the source files, and use WebDAV to
transfer both site
and source files to and from the server. But I really want to
separate the
site from source but still maintain a link between site and
source...... if
you see what I mean. I think the upshot is I would like to be
able to open a
site within Dreamweaver and instantly be able to access that
sites source
files if needed. This method needs to be shared across a
small team spread
round the UK.
I looked at the Repository Subversion version control, but
like I said I'm
not after a source control system, plus it appeared to
conflict with WebDAV
and Contribute, that some of our clients use to maintain
content on their
sites. I also looked at Version Cue which looked promising,
but can't see a
clear workflow between Dreamweaver and Version Cue which
separates site from
source. I might be missing something.... part of my brain
perhaps. :)
Would be grateful for any advice please.
Cheers,
@ndyB

Hi,
I've done a great deal of work with mobile accounts in Snow Leopard and I'm now having a "play" with Lion. To be honest you have to sit down and think about why you need mobile accounts.
If your user only uses one computer then your safer having a local account backed up by a network Time Machine, this avoids the many many woes that the Servers FileSyncAgent brings to the table.
If your users are going to be accessing multiple computers on the network and leaving the network then a mobile account is good for providing a uniform user experience and access to files etc. However, your users will have to make a choice as to whether they want their iPhoto libraries on one Local machine (backed up by Time Machine) or whether they want their library to be hosted on the server and not part of the Mobile Home Sync schedule (adding ~/Pictures to the excluded items on the home sync settings).
With the latter, users will be able to access their iPhoto libraries on any computer when they are within the network (as it's accessed from the users server home folder).
With the first option the user would have their iPhoto library on one computer (say the laptop they used the most) but then would not be able to access it from other computers they log on to.
iPhoto libraries are a pain, and I'm working hard to come up with a workaround. If your users moved over to using Apeture then you could include the aperture library as part of the home sync thanks to Deeport (http://deepport.net/archives/os-x-portable-home-directories-and-syncing-flaw-wit h-bundles/)
He does suggest that the same would work with IPhoto libraries - but it doesn't for a number of mysterious reasons regarding how the OS recognizes thie iPhoto bundle (it does so differently compared to Apeture).
Hope this helps...

Best way to handle Christmas music - Playlist or separate Library?

Anyone have a suggestion about the "best" way to handle Christmas music?
After reading the article below I'm tempted to create a new library for Christmas music... that way I can keep it on an external drive or even DVD.
http://www.allthingsmarked.com/2006/09/13/howto-manage-multiple-libraries-in-itu nes-7/

My solution to this is to add the tag "Xmas" to the "Grouping" field of each Christmas song.
This little tag stays tucked away out of sight until Christmastime. Then, I create a new Smart Playlist where Grouping contains "Xmas." Voila.
The Grouping field can be useful for non-genre distinctions you want to add to your music, likesay "live" or "remix" or "cover."

After Effects rendering the video with the audio out of sync

so, the thing is, i did the animation on flash, exported it, put it on after to edit audio and what not, everything looks fine, previews are good, so, lets render!... every time i render the final video have the audio out of sync, specially the audio that is already on the first video. the video its originally on 12 fps, if i change the interpretation to 24fps, everything get worse. any help?

ok, both Flash and After effect are CS6, i have a Lenovo Ideapad, can handle 64 bits
first i exported the video on .MOV from Flash CS6, without any problems
Then i finished the edition on After Effects, everything look good.
i have tried to render it on MOV, AVI, MP4 and the audio for the video that was exported from flash always get out of sync. i dont really move anything else

Audio out of sync upon output

We are trying to output a 70 minute documentary onto either a mini-dv in the Canon GL2 or to Quicktime movie to burn to a DVD . The entire project is in synch until output...then audio out of sync by roughly 6 frames. We go back to our timeline, resynch it, and then it goes out of sync again when we try to out put it. And of course we are on deadline. Help.

When you're viewing it in FCP, how are you seeing and hearing it? The correct way is to view AND listen on external devices (TV monitor & speakers).
If you're watching on an external TV monitor but listening to the computer's speakers (which a lot of people seem to do), it will appear out of sync when it really isn't. If you make adjustments based on that, you're actually creating the sync problem yourself.
