DVD & Blu-Ray audio out of sync after export

When I use FCP X's built in DVD or Blu-ray export option, about halfway through the video, the audio becomes out of sync and becomes ahead of the video.
How can I fix this?

Freddy,
   You will see that I am experiencing the same issue with my DVDs and BDs per my question 3 hours prior to yours.  It never was an issue until very recently.  I may have a solution.  Realizing that my audio was acting as if I had "Drop Frame" audio attached to "Non-Drop Frame" video, I went back to my source material to verify my acquisition settings.  All elements of the production were recorded appropriately as "Drop Frame."  Playback on the "Timeline" (Passé now) was perfect.  No audio sync issues there.  So I felt it must be some rendering setting within Compressor and the render engine.  When you go to Compessor (Send to Compressor), you will gain access to the audio render settings for both DVD & BD.  Typically, the "Retiming" under the "General" tab of the Audio Inspector is set to "100% of source."  I Went ahead and checked off the radio button below that to render the audio at the exact duration of my program (nearly 3 hrs long).  I did this for the DVD version of the program and placed it into DVD Studio Pro to replace the bad sync audio.  Well wudda ya know....it worked.  I haven't burned the DVD yet, but that is next.  I suspect that if this works for the DVD, it may work for the BD render as well.  Wish me luck.  I hope this helps.
  On a side note:  If all else fails, render a MASSIVE master file and use that in Toast to make a BD.  Not the best option, but it will get you out the door.

  • Adobe Encore Blu-Ray audio out of sync

    Hey,
    So I'm trying to make a compiliation Blu-ray disc that has 3 seperate movies on it.  Each method I've tried as resulted in the audio being out of sync with the video.
    I used dvd shrink to rip a dvd to include just the movie by itself.  I played that.  No out of sync audio issues.
    I then used pgcdemux to demux the dvd files into seperate .m2v and .wav streams.  I played those, and again no audio sync issues.
    I tried importing the seperate .m2v and .wav streams directly into Encore and it seemed to work until I created a timeline and when previewing the disc, the audio was out of sync.  So I went ahead and burned a copy to my blu-ray disc and sure enough the audio sync issues were on there too.
    Then I went through adobe media encoder and tried to re-encode the .m2v file thinking it just wasn't done correctly the first time.  Still the audio is out of sync after importing to Encore.
    I even demuxed the streams, then remuxed them together into an mpg file.  I played that without Encore and no audio issues.  But as soon as I import it and attach it to a timeline, and then preview it, audio is out of sync.
    So I am completely lost here.  I don't quite know what else to do to get rid of the delay in audio.
    Suggestions?  Fixes?

    Well it certainly has been a while!
    So I finally got this to work.  It would seem that I spent so much time trying to rip and convert the dvd to their elementary source files: .m2v and .wav and since I was working with dvds, the files were quite large.
    I actually loaded up a program called DVDFab and ripped each dvd into m2ts fomat.  Those files were, still, quite a few gigabytes a piece, as they are essentially rips of the dvds in a special blu-ray container format.
    They loaded directly into Encore and I didnt even have to use Adobe Media Encoder before loading them.  And this time when I actually built my blu-ray, I received no errors.  So everything output fine.
    thanks for the help!

  • Audio out of sync after exporting into Quicktime using current settings.

    Quicktime file has audio out of sync when I export to quicktime movie using current settings.
    Ok for about the first few minutes then, out of sync after about 10 minutes.
    I shot the footage on tape with my Sony HVR-Z7u.
    My Sequence setting is the same as the format of the footage as shown below.
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
    Editing Time base: 23.98

    Audio Settings: Rate 48 KHz

    Vid Rate: 23.98

    Audio Format: 16bit

    I recently moved and both of my editing machines were unplugged for a couple of days until I could get them set up. After turning them back on, the problem had disappeared. Perhaps leaving the system unplugged had allowed some of the internal components to reset? That's the only thing I can think of. At any rate, the issue is gone.

  • AVCHD to Blu-Ray - Audio Out of Sync

    I just burned a test disc from FCP 7 to Blu-Ray using my Mac Pro's SuperDrive and, thusly, AVCHD. The video looks great on my 42" LCD (played from an LG Blu-Ray player), but the audio is slightly out of sync. I'd say it's about 10 frames or so behind the video. Anyone else experience this? Any ideas how to solve it?

    Another thing to try is to make sure that your sequence is fully rendered before export. Not sure the level of your fcp experience, but making sure everything's fully rendered is not intuitive. If the thin lines at the top of the timeline are all blue, you're fully rendered.

  • Why is my audio out of sync after exporting?

    I am using Final Cut Pro X 10.1.
    My footage plays fine and it's all in sync with the external audio when played all the way through on the timeline.
    When I export the project the audio suddenly becomes out of sync around half way through playback.

  • Why is Audio out of sync after encoding?

    I have encoded a 60 minute film using separate video and audio files -- quicktime for picture, AIFF for audio. In the DVD Studio Pro project, they are perfectly in sync. But in the encoded DVD they are playing out of sync by over 1 second.
    I've encoded the same movie with different versions of the soundtrack several times before with no problems.
    Anyone have any ideas of what has happened and how to fix it?
    The Quicktime and the AIFF were on different drives when I was building the project. Could this have had any effect?
    Using DVD studio pro v4.0.2
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Nope, I am a strong believer if it ain't broke do not fix it, and personally I loved 10.3.9 - in fact I say away from updates unless absolutely needed and then I bring them onto different machines. Unless something changed in your system, I would try standrad troubleshooting (repair permissions and delete prefs) and A.Pack the audio
    Not to say I do not have machines running Tiger, but Tiger (particularly some of the newer versions) I find to be a PITA - around 10.4.6 or so there are weird security things happening which messes up installing software. In fact I just zeroed out my tiBook, and did not add some software that I forgot about until after 10.4.8 was on and it does not install. I would have to zero things out again. Install the software over 10.4.1 and then try again.
    Unless you want the Universal Suite (which is good for most things except DVD SP which has issues) nope, no Tiger none of the new stuff, unless you have a few machines to play with

  • Audio out of sync after encoding

    I'm hoping someone can offer a suggestion.  I've encoded my sequence 4 times now and every time the audio is out of sync with the video.  The sequence is about 2 hours long.  It was shot on a HD flip cam, , 1280 x 720 (1.0) 30.00 fps, 44100 Hz.  The sequence is HD 1280 x 720 (1.0), 29.97 fps, 48000 Hz-Stereo.  They are the exact settings I've been using to make these videos for the past 5 months since upgrading to CS5, and this is the first time I'm having this issue.  I usually make 30 minutes videos, this is my longest yet.  
    I've definitely had this happen before with cs4, but was hoping the upgrade to a better version as well as better computer would do away with these encoding issues. I dont' know what other info you may need, but I'm happy to provide more.
    I'm exporting to window's media, NTSC Source Hight Quality, output 720x480, 48kHz, stereo.  Everytime I export it, the video markers only cover half the sequence.  I have to move them to cover the entire sequence.  Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
    I'm at a loss.  Any suggestions would be so appreciated.
    Jules

    Thank you so much.  I did have problems with Encore, but I hopefully got that resolved.  This specific problem is audio out of sync in my media encoder.  I can't test the project beforehand.  It took 2 1/2 hours to encode and when I played the finished project, it was out of sync.

  • AVCHD to Blu-ray yields out-of-sync audio when not using TS

    I have a need (won't go into too many details) to render my AVCHD project as separate M4V and WAV files; I can't have the output be multiplexed as a TS. However, the audio is horribly out-of-sync unless I output as a TS. For example, if I load up a timeline with ~40min of clips from my Sony HDR-CX12 AVCHD camcorder and render as Blu-ray H.264 1920x1080i, non-multiplexed, with PCM audio, the resultant WAV file is a full four seconds shorter than the M4V file! Ouch!! I'm guessing each AVCHD clip has just slightly less audio than video, and that it just adds up in the end, but why can't Premiere accomodate this? Is there a way to have it introduce delay at each cut? Obviously, the packetizing/multiplexing process for a TS accounts for this, but again, I can't use a TS; I need a WAV file that's in step with the video.
    I also tried rendering a TS (which plays fine and doesn't have sync issues) and then demuxing with xport.exe, but this leads to the same problem.
    Thanks for any suggestions!
    Cheers,
    Aaron

    > Could this be a DF versus NDF issue?
    Hmmm... every setting and Properties window shows 29.97... anything else I should look for?
    > use a Time Stretching effect
    I'll keep that in my back pocket for now. Doesn't seem like I should have to go to that length, however, but... Assuming the error in the source is relatively constant per AVCHD clip (maybe not a valid assumption, but seems reasonable), then the stretch effect would result in audio that was more or less out-of-sync depending on the density of cuts on the timeline.
    Is it possible to create an audio-only TS using Premiere? Something that preserves the timing information? Seems not, but maybe there is. When I uncheck "Export Video", the option to create a TS seems to disappear :-(
    Cheers,
    Aaron

  • Audio and video out of sync after exporting sequence

    I'm a FCP user since years, but not so common with HD footage. Therefore I have an issue with my finished edited movie after exporting: Video and Audio are out of sync.
    My sequence settings are: HDV1080i50, 25fps, 48kHz, 16bit, Stereo. I used File-> Export-> Quicktime Movie -> Current Settings
    Sequence has a duration of 61 minutes and 38 sec. I tried to find out where's the problem and exported audio and video seperated. This results in:
    Video is 61 minutes and 27 sec long
    Audio is 61 minutes and 38 sec long
    That means exported video is shorter than original sequence.
    What could that be ?

    I had the same problem with a Panasonic camera, even filming at 30 fps. I was able to fix it; see [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1783029&tstart=0]. It's a frustating problem, to be sure. You might have to use Easy Setup a couple times before you get things to work properly. Not sure why that's the case.
    Good luck!

  • Audio gets out of sync after export and burn to iDVD - works in iMovie

    I've burned my DVD show twice on iMovie and iDVD and the audio music tracks slowly get displaced over the course of the show (15 min) after exporting and burning to iDVD. It gets pushed back so that it starts later each new track...I've locked the audio to the playhead for each new audio track - however, there are some empty gaps between the tracks, does this have anything to do with the displacement? Or should it not matter since the tracks are locked?
    I had it all synced up in the playback on iMovie and had it aligned with visuals, however, after burning, it gets displaced and everything gets off...
    Any help would be appreciated, thank you

  • Audio out of sync AFTER importing

    Hello, how are you?
    I've been searching for a solution for a while, but I can't seen to find any.
    The thing is... I've been capturing some gameplay footage, with files that last an hour or even more.
    When I watch the files in any player (Windows Media Player, VLC, Media Player Classic) they play fine, the audio and the video seems to be on sync and OK.
    But after I import to Adobe Premiere, it just gets out of sync. Even when I watch in the Source Monitor, before dragging to the timeline.
    It looks like there is a problem when conforming the audio.
    But even the time duration is different from the original, there is some frames or even seconds of difference inside Premiere.
    And this happens with different codecs, AVI (from FRAPS), H.264 (with AAC audio and MP3)...
    I've tried cleaning the cache, deleting the software and reinstalling again, converting - everything.
    Some are saying this is a recurrent bug on Adobe Premiere. Isn't there any fix or something that I could do?
    It's really strange that the problems only occur AFTER importing. Outside of Premiere is fine, so there is no problem with the capture, right?
    I would really appreciate if someone helps me. Thanks a lot!
    PS: I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.
    Intel Core i7
    12 GB RAM
    GeForce GTX 580
    HD 2 TB 7200RPM

    My problem is a bit different, though just as irritating.  I can't believe Adobe hasn't fixed this given how long since the original post has been up here.  I capture satellite programming from a professional c-band satellite every week.  I use good old fashion Quicktime to capture 30 minute programs for later broadcast.  Our job is to capture the video from the satellite, clip the commercials at the beginning and end of the program and then export a clean version as an MPEG2 file.  Quicktime provides two capture settings: high (which provides a very large ProRes file in 16bit stereo) or medium (which provides a manageable H264 file in AAC stereo).  Both are Quicktime files. 
    While I don't have sync issues with the ProRes file, the file that is captured using H264 and the AAC stereo gets pushed out of sync by just enough frames to make it necessary to fix. This is adding about 2 to 3 hours of studio time each week to our production given we have to process about a dozen of these files. Viewing the original quicklime files using the newest version of quicklime or the old Quicktime program and most other video players yields a perfectly in-sync experience; it's just when it's imported into Premier Pro CC 2014 that the sync. problem appears.  One solution that has worked is taking the master file and exporting it again as a .dv file, but this actually takes longer than fixing the sync issue within Premiere. My guess is it may be the AAC audio process that may be the problem.
    We only started using Premiere a few months ago and are already re-evaluating whether we should return to FCP.  We were really like most of the Adobe apps within Creative Cloud, but we use Premiere to much to put up with such a major flaw. I do wish Adobe would monitor some of these forums; they have no idea how customer service plays a key role for future software purchases.

  • Audio out of sync after transition ?

    I have a project in Imovie 08 with a separate audio track (extracted from the original file) i extracted the audio in order to have the music continue playing at the end but cut the video short.
       The problem i have is when i add a transition at the beginning of the movie to fade in from Black it knocks the audio track out of sync ? could someone please tell me how to re-sync the music ?
    Thank you for any suggestions

    In your 2x HDD setup, exactly how do you have everything allocated?
    This would be something like this:
    C:\ OS, programs, Page File
    D:\ Projects, Media and Scratch Disks
    You gave us a bit of that info, but lets go into just a bit more detail.
    Now, when you have populated your Timeline, do all Clips have a red line above them, or do you see the red ONLY where you have added your JPEG, and your Transitions?
    If you do have plenty of red, what happens with you hit Enter, to Render for best playback (note: will Render both Video and Audio), and then play the Timeline?
    What is the pixel x pixel dimension for that JPEG?
    Adobe programs can have some issues with muxed (Multiplexed - combined Audio & Video in one file) MPEG material, but that is usually NOT with camera original MPEG's, and more often when one has done an Export, or has ripped the AV file from a DVD.
    I assume that your Sony is producing footage as 1920 x 1080, as per your Project Preset. Is that correct?
    If worse comes to worse, this ARTICLE will give you tips on fixing OOS, but ideally, this should not be happening, so tracking down the cause is job 1.
    Good luck,
