Captivate 7 - HTML5 audio/slides not syncing

Hi,
I am trying to publish out to HTML5 (Captivate 7 with the patch on Windows 7). I have audio on each slide and if I just let it run straight through, it's fine. However, if I page forward the audio is not sync'd with the slide anymore. It looks like it take a little longer for the slide to catch up but the audio starts right away.
Also, if I go back and forth (I know this isn't right but I know learners are going to), sometimes I get audio from two slides playing at once.
Is this just an HTML5/audio issue or is this a Captivate issue?
Thanks,
Joy

Sreekanth,
I think I've found a workaround for this issue. I’m finding when audio is placed on each question slide in the pool, the audio on subsequent slides play. The audio on the question slides has to be different from audio used on non-question slides (but all the question slides can use the same audio). Also, the question slide audio can be a very short and silent piece of audio, so nothing is heard on the question slide itself.

My Video and Audio are not syncing up after importing

I am trying to edit a few Ipad Clips in premier pro. My video and audio are not syncing. They are .mov lower resolution from the ipad. The original audio is fine - but after I put in a sequence the audio is off a few seconds (ahead). I did not add any affects or change anything. Please advise?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Allison

Premiere does not work well with variable frame rate video which, I expect, the ipad produces, You might have to convert the footage before you import it into Premiere. Do a forum search for variable frame rate, there are a lot of posts.

I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync. They work fine when played in Quicktime.

Hello,
I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync as soon as I load it into the program. It appears to work fine in Quicktime.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. This is the plan.
Open Premiere Elements 12/12.1 to the Expert workspace.
In the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In the Change Settings area, select the project preset
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD LITE 720p30
OK out of there. In the New Project dialog that appears, note that it has your new project preset named.
Be sure to put a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". And, then OK out of there.
Back in the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders to bring your video
into Project Assets. From Project Assets drag your video to the Timeline Video Track 1/Audio Track 1.
Is there an orange line over the content in the Timeline. See screenshot for orange line to which I am referring.
There should be no colored line over the content if the project preset matches the video properties. But, if you do see
that orange line, then render the Timeline content by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard or press
the Render button above the Timeline.
Do your video/audio now play back in the Edit area monitor in sync?
Please let us know the result, and then we will decide what next.
Thanks.

ITunes 11.01 on Windows 8 audio will not sync with video

I have a new computer that is running Windows 8, and I have had no issues with iTunes 11.01 thus far on it other than the fact that when playing videos, the audio will not sync up with the video.
With the ineptitude that seems to define Apple as of late, there does not seem to be any actual support for Windows 8, and the "support" channels do no good at all.
Any ideas as how to fix this problem?

I think Microsoft made the Windows 8 incompatible with Apple products on purpose, they want windows users to have to download apps from their paid service which is more expensive than Apple's App/iTunes Store

TS1718 Movie audio does not sync with movie

Hi,
The movies I have bought through iTunes store does not work properly. I bought two last week and when trying to play them back over the weekend, the audio is not sync'd with the movie playback. I have a Winodws 8 laptop and enough space for the films to be played. The software is all up to date and can therefore see no problem as to why this should not be working. Does anybody know of any way to resolve this to allow me to watch the films?
Thanks,
G

Hello grs1989,
Thank you for providing the details about the issue you are experiencing with audio out of sync with video in iTunes. I found an article with steps to address issues with audio and video playback being out of sync:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I am trying to play an mp4 in quicktime and the video and audio does not sync. Any tips?

I am trying to play an mp4 in quicktime and the video and audio does not sync. Any tips? This is not hack/ripped video but a legit home movie.

In this case, it looks like Quicktime wasn't very efficient in managing memory, leading to a slowdown in playback. If QT has a lag and VLC doesn't, that's more evidence.
I couldn't say why your friend's windows computer plays the media fine, while your Mac doesn't. The only thing I could suggest is to disable QT streaming video - which has been known to slow down performance.

Captivate Displays Wrong Slide Note

I’ve been experimenting as to why Captivate slide notes
sometimes seem to change at random. Since I use the notes to hold
audio transcriptions, it was a nasty surprise to find lots of them
overwritten with notes from other slides. It seems that both
Captivate versions 2 and 3 mishandle slide notes when you switch to
Branching view with a slide other than slide 1 selected, though V3
is somewhat better behaved. If this is old news – I’m
two weeks with Captivate and still in the steep part of the
learning curve – then I plead being a newbie.
I’ve considered two workarounds: putting the notes into
closed captions – which aren’t affected by this but are
hard to see at a glance unless I export them to Word – or
always remembering to select slide 1 in Storyboard before jumping
to Branching.
I assume that this isn’t restricted to my two
pc’s (both WinXP SR2) and may help explain several posts
describing slide notes being changed. So, has anyone else found
additional explanations for why slide notes are unstable? Better
yet, does anyone know of a fix? This always remembering business
seems most unlikely – for me at least.
Here are the details of what I’ve discovered so far.
Captivate V2 – selecting a slide other than slide 1 in
Storyboard view and then switching to Branching view overwrites the
selected slide’s note with slide 1’s note. If the
selection contains more than one slide, the highest numbered slide
in the selection is overwritten. If slide 1 doesn’t have a
note, the “click to add notes for the selected slide”
message is displayed as the note for the selected slide. If you do
not click in the note, the note remains intact. If you do click,
the note is overwritten. So, beware of jumping between Storyboard
to rearrange slides and Branching to edit paths because
you’ll probably trash your notes. That’s how I wrecked
havoc.
Captivate V3 trial version – selecting a slide other
than slide 1 in Storyboard or Edit view then switching to Branching
view improperly displays the selected slide’s note (you see
slide 1’s note) but does not overwrite the selected
slide’s note. However if you edit the improperly displayed
note in Branching view, the original note is overwritten. So, in V3
leaving the notes box collapsed will probably prevent problems
since you won’t notice the error and inadvertently make it
permanent. Seems like a reason to upgrade, even though it’s a
bit thin, being the lesser of two evils.

Hello Docedoc,
Whilst I cannot offer you an solution to the problem you have
encountered I would suggest that you report this issue using the
Adobe
Captivate Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Audio background not sync with function back and forward

Hello,
I have a complexe presentation with several slides.
It's impossible to add audio for each slide in my case.
So i've choose to add my audio in background.
When my project is exported, the functions play and stop are
ok.
But when i use function back or forward, it always work with
the slides, not with the audio in background.
In fact, the audio track continue in a normal way, and is not
synchronize at all...
Is it possible to synchronize the audio background ?
Or is it a bug ??
Thanks a lot...
Alex

Hi Alex
That is the purpose of the background audio.
Perhaps it will help to advise generally about audio in
Captivate. Audio can be added in Three different places.
* Background level - Where it plays continuously throughout
the movie and typically stops when the movie ends.
* Slide level - Typically or often contains narration
* Object level - Audio begins playing when the object appears
Hmmm, thinking about it, object level audio seems to want to
continue playing even after the object has disappeared from view.
Maybe you could try attaching the desired audio clip to a caption
or image? Give that a go and see if it maybe comes close to what
you are seeking.
Cheers... Rick :)

Why when downloading film audio does not sync ?

Question as per title. I have downloaded film twice and both times dialogue and sound effects do not sync with associated action. However, the time lag with the second download was not as pronounced as the first. Is there an iTunes download setting I need to change or is the problem more likely to be ISP related (e.g. download speed, contention).
Aaron

Hi tclemmons and welcome to our community
Are you serious? 400-500 slides? Yikes! The normal typical
recommendation is 50-65 slides as a rule of thumb for upper limit.
I'm surprised you aren't seeing other issues besides just audio
sync problems. Red screens of death, etc.
Sorry, but other than suggesting that you trim the movies
down to smaller chunks, I have no recommendations or words of
wisdom. Perhaps others may.
Cheers... Rick

Videos work fine, but when view in ITunes Video/Audio are not Synced up

Hello,
Im not sure how to get around this but at the moment im converting my DVDs to mp4 format to view through itunes/appletv.
The MP4 files work fine when watched in Windows Media Player or VLC Media but when i watch it through ITunes the video/audio is not matching up.
How can i fix this?

Hello
When I try to play H264 format Movie files via iTunes (9.0.2.25) or Quicktime Player (7.6.5) the audio is half to a full second ahead of the video.
I have tried multiple H264 format videos and they all have the same problem.
If I try playing the same files in Windows Media Player then the video and audio is all in sync as it should be.
I have tried multiple machines, Windows 7, Vista and XP, all of which show the same issue.
Any help in resolving this issue would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

HTML5 Audio/Video Not working at all on new Windows 7 install

I'm the developer of jPlayer, a plugin for jQuery and my recent testing a new laptop on Windows 7 Ultimate, Safari 5.0.1 found that the audio and video HTML5 elements do not work at all.
http://www.happyworm.com/jquery/jplayer/
http://www.happyworm.com/jquery/jplayer/HTML5.Audio.Support/
My plugin checks for the mediaElement.canPlayType() method and if it exists it then checks the suitable MIME types for compatibility. But that is just the fine details. Basically, the Safari 5.0.1 browser installed on Windows 7, without any of the audio or video support.
Testing on other sites around the web also showed that this install did not include those parts of the HTML5 spec. No idea why. I installed it off the apple/safari site and it is fully updated. Chrome 5, Firefox 3.6, Opera 10.6 all worked fine.
Example of other sites used to check:
http://www.html5rocks.com/tutorials/video/basics/
By comparison, my old Windows XP machine works fine with Safari 5.0.1 and has had a version of safari installed on the machine since Safari 3.
Side note, the Mac versions of all the browsers work fine. Also the iPad emulator shows everything works.
Any ideas what went wrong with my install on Windows 7?
Best regards,
Mark P

I am looking at this issue too. I installed Safari 5.0.1 on Windows XP on two different machines. In these cases I found that the .canPlayType() always returns undefined on an audio element. So http://www.happyworm.com/jquery/jplayer/HTML5.Audio.Support/ showed that no support for HTML5 audio was found. ( http://twitpic.com/2f16nh )
Both installations were clean installs and it was also the first time Safari had been installed on both XP installations.
I don't see these issues on OSX 10.6.4 and others have reported that it worked under Windows 7. My guess then is that is something to do with new installs and not OS.

PVC2300 recorded audio is not sync with video

Hi all,
I have a big big problem with my new PVC2300 network camera:
when I recording (from browser interface) the audio of the .avi file is not sync with video... in details in a record of 12-13 minutes the audio ends 8-10 seconds before the video... and I suppose that more lenght is the recorded file and more lenght is the desync between audio and video.
I use MPEG4 video stream at 640x480 30 fps and audio G.711 A-Law in mode "simplex - listen only".
For my usage this is a very big isssue... I hope there is a way to fix it.
Thanks in advice
Robert

I tried for 2 days for all possible configurations, editing: frame rate, quality, resolution. and type of stream (MPEG4 or MJPEG).
The only case that the recorded audio and video is sync is setting the SMB protocol to autorecord to a NAS.
But this mode have a lot of problems (.asf format, large file size and continuos recording without the ability to start and stop the recordings).
I think that the desync is a bug (a very big bug) of yours activex control that makes the recording.
I have find more or less a workaround using the Cisco Client... the program get an error on start (after unintall and install few times, and a lot of test, I understand that the only way to use the Cisco Client is running it as administrator.
Ok finnaly the cisco program works, but using it I found another problems:
after recorded, I tried to export a part of recording for testing the audio-video sync... the program gives me 2 format: AVI (without the ability to choose any other options) and ASF (with quality options). I tried first AVI format... the result sucks: bad video quality, 1,8 GB every 20 minutes and audio desync... no comment! ...then I tried the second export format: ASF...thats OK, the result is good... audio finally is syncronized with video.
My system is Windows Vista SP2 (32bit) and Internet Explorer 8... I tried also from an other pc with Windows 7... same problems recording from browser interface. I have installed on my system the lastest video codecs (for example: divx etc.).
For my usage I can use the Cisco Client but my ideal usage will be recording from browser.
I think these problems are very serious for a product as is this camera.
I hope there is a way to resolve they... maybe with a future firmware update or installing an other software.
Thanks
Robert

Audio does not sync with videos

Sometimes when I download videos from iTunes, the audio and the video are not in sync. This has only started to happen since I upgraded to iTunes 7. Is there a way to fix this or is it a problem with the download process?

David, I'm monitoring the audio through the line out of my Mac Pro, using a small pair of powered computer speakers.
It's a system I've been using for years, and haven't had a problem w the audio waveform not matching the audio I hear, until now.
Thanks for your response!

Play position in audible audio books not syncing back from iPhone to iTunes

Hi everybody. I hope I don't open a redundant thread, but i couldn't find one that has this topic.
Anyway, I am syncing some audio books from audible to my iPhone. When i start playing them on the phone, the play position is in sync to the position in iTunes. Now let's say i listen one hour on the phone and then sync again.
Contrary to what i expected, the further advanced play position from the phone is NOT synced back to iTunes but the old position from iTunes is synced again to the phone. So the next time I access the audio book on the phone I start where i started in the first place.
Is this a bug or have I missed some setting wheresoever?
Thanks for any suggestions!

I have seen others complain about it. For me I never listen via PC (only phone) so I haven't had an issue yet. Though I do when I stop listening look at the time and chapter/file I am at and go over to Notes and jot it down. Due to reboots or other issues, it has lost where I was but with my notes, I can quickly get back.

Video and audio do not sync after importing media into Premiere Pro

After I import my video which is in the .MOV format, I notice that the video is slow and out of sync with the audio. This makes it incredibly difficult to edit. Any and all solutions will be helpful.
Sincerely,
SheIsInquisitive

John:
Thanks for your reply. Excuse my referring to you as "Kevin". I'm new to the Adobe Community. I have also referenced another article which is seemingly a bit easier to fix for such a non-technical woman like myself. I'm going to try both solutions. Whichever works I'll be sure to reply to the thread with my findings. I found this article which provides the following solution: http://blog.flickharrison.com/2012/04/problem-solving-in-adobe-premiere-audio-glitches-and -sync/
