Exported slideshow to Quicktime, music now out of sync

Hello: I created a slideshow in iPhoto with music and transitions in sync, then exported it to Quicktime. When I play it in Quicktime, the music track is slightly out of sync with the slides. Can anyone give me any suggestions? Thanks!

slhmca:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I think that problem was fixed with 10.4.8 and the newest Quicktime version. Download and use the 10.4.8 COMBO updater as opposed the the Software Update method. I'd do the same with the Quicktime version. QT 7.1.3 is required if you need to access videos from the iTMS. Otherwise QuickTime 7.1.2 for Mac will suffice. It depends on your iTunes situation.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Exporting slideshow to QuickTime - any more recent answers?

110 mb slideshow incorporating movie clips exported from imovie to quicktime.
i've done this successfully in the past, but now get the "your slideshow cannot be exported as a quicktime movie" error.
way more than ample disk space available.
Keynote 3.0.1
OS 10.4.7
preference is checked for "exit show after last slide."
i really need a workaround - having done this successfully in the past, i just buried a ton of time in a presentation that needs to be quicktimed for import to imovie for control of two soundtracks.
deeply appreciate all responses. thanks.

I had same question you had ... example is not all of us do slide shows to be shown on T.V. sets ONLY. I find viewing DVD via normal television set to be very poor quality - and so, I don't bother.
Primarily, I am a photographer who makes presentations via digital projection @ 1024x768 - with the choice to make a DVD later as a back up.
I have noted when you do a slide show in iPhoto the presention via my monitor (1024x768 setting) is absolutely perfect .... but when saving to QT with the limited res of 640 x 480, the outcome is horrendous - even with High Quality is activated in QT - i.e dissolve transitions set in iPhoto are terrible when viewed via QT .... especially when you have images showing lots of sky. You get the 'solarization' effect ... regardless of images that are initially imported at high res or not. (I normally import RAW images @ 300 dpi).
Here is the solution that works for me and use .... what I have found to work well so as to have the option to choose resolution to give me full screen, and save to a DVNTSC PRO as one option, I use iMovie and use iPhoto ONLY as a pre-production preparation to set up story line, test out music, etc ...
Too bad Apple just chooses to dictate how their software works - sort of caving in to the status quo, I suppose - much easier and no doubt cheaper for them ... I too would rather have the choice to choose many things, same as done in iMovie - that is, include other QT resolutions for exporting a slide show full screen, etc. - they do allow you to choose resolution when exporting from the library .. but with limited transitions time-wise. Exporting a 'slide presentation' is different. Why?????
My .02, and I seriously doubt iPhoto will ever have this added option ... it is after all consumer level software, not pro level. Yet, iMovie is also same level ... go figure.

Export a Quicktime puts audio out of sync.

Hi
I've just cut some footage capture on my iPhone.
When I export the quicktime the audio is out of sync. When I play the final cut timeline it's fine.
Any suggestions please?

Hi - Do you want the detailed explanation or the quickest solution?
If the quickest solution:
Click anywhere on your timeline.
Type Command + 0 (zero) to bring up your sequence settings.
When it opens change
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/SeqSettingH264.jpg!
to this:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/SeqSetting422LT.jpg!
and click OK.
When you have done that a red render bar will appear over your sequence, click anywhere on the timeline and type Command + A and the type Command + R to render it all.
Now export your Quicktime movie.
Hope this helps. If you want the detailed explanation post back.

Export slideshow with quicktime

I want to export my slideshow as a movie. The problem is that I want to chance my resolution to 720X576 (I live in the PAL world). But the export dialog box only gives 3 choices. Strange, since quicktime can handle HD.
Any thoughts?

Hi Polleke,
The only way you can export with those dimensions is selecting an album, go to share/export, choose the Quicktime tab, input your PAL dimensions and set your other options.
The caveat to this method is you can only have the current chosen song for the audio, there is no Ken burns and I think the transition is a dissolve.
I think if you go the iMovie way you can have everything just like iPhoto but will be able to export to Quicktime with PAL format.

Music slightly out of sync when exporting in Premiere CS6, format problem?

Hi guys, i have a quick question.
I edited together a promo for a local band and everything is perfect in the sequence as far as being on point with the music at certain beats and such. However when I export it the music is slightly out of sync, which is bad when you edited everything specificly to the song. I am not using ANY audio from the footage but instead layed a music track over everything. I'm not sure what else to do, could it be a format problem? I am using h.264 (see below), but would AVI or anything else work better? any help is appreciated thank you!
I am exporting directly from inside Premiere CS6 using a custom H.264 preset. 24fps, VBR 2 pass encoding. Target 7MB, Max 11MB. (with render at maxium bit depth, and render at highest quaility selected.)
I put the audio settings to high, 320kbs AAC format.
I use a custom built PC with an i7-3770K, 32 GB RAM, and I exported to a 120GB SSD.
Any other info you need just ask.any types for uploading to vimeo so it doesn't get out of sync there? thank you in advance!
Also, any types for uploading to vimeo so it doesn't get out of sync there? thank you in advance!

Hi,
I dont think that you will really get a problem while exporting in any of the given formats. But i would really like to check if the audio layer is exactly same as of the video. for eg - if my audio is 00:05:30 and my video is 00:05:20 , we might face issue with the sync.
We can try to put more black video to make it a match with the audio and then try to export.
Where do you have the media files , on a internal drive like c: or desktop? In case not , try to move the media files to desktop and then try to export.
Also instead of exporting the files to your 120GB SSD , try to export it on the desktop.
Hope it helps.
Thanks

Music is out of sync with slides after exporting to iDVD.. what to do?

I created a slideshow in iPhoto and spent hours getting exactly the right music and transitions. I then sent it to iDVD to burn a dvd of the completed slideshow, however the music is no longer in sync with the slides and actually stops abruptly a couple of seconds before the last slide ends. This is quite disappointing as I spent worked hard at getting it how I wanted.
Is there a better way of doing this or did I do something wrong? I thought you could just send a completed slideshow straight to iDVD with one click.
I am thinking of buying Toast 8..would this work better for burning DVD's from iPhoto?

12frets56:
Are you using the Ken Burns effect? If not then create the slideshow in iDVD from the stills imported from iPhoto. You'll get a sharper image quality final product, IMO, and the slideshow will be synced properly to the music.
An excellent 3rd party slideshow application isPhotoPresenter. It has some the best themes of any slideshow application I've seen and can add music and export to QT for use in iDVD. You can try the demo to see if it will suit your needs.
Do you Twango?

I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Video + audio recorded in Quicktime X is out of sync when used in iMovie

I have recorded video in Quicktime X. When I try to edit it in iMovie, the audio and video are out of sync. They are in sync if I play the video in Quicktime. I am using the latest version of iMovie '11. Anyone know how I can fix this?

You should not HAVE TO but did you try extracting out the audio? This has been a issue for a long time. I am not sure why you never see this problem in Final Cut but it rears its ugly head in iMovie all the time. What do the call it now? Oh yes... detach. Select the clip then Clip -> Detach audio and line it back up.

Large .dv file plays fine in Quicktime, but audio out of sync in iMovie??

hi,
i'm trying to convert some old analog 8mm tapes to digital. to do this, i'm using a sony trv320 camcorder with firewire feeding iMovie '08. i've imported an entire 2 hour tape into iMovie, and everything is fine except that at some point, the audio gets out of sync from the picture. i've opened the huge 24 GB .dv file in Quicktime, and everything is in sync, so I assume this is some kind of problem related to iMovie. i've done lots of searching on this and have made sure that the camcorder is sending 16 bit audio out. i also tried using mpeg streamclip to split the huge .dv file into smaller parts, but this resulted in the same audio sync problem (which is weird).
is my only option to manually import my tapes 10 minutes at a time? please say no
the most puzzling thing about this is that the huge .dv file is perfectly in sync all the way through when playing back in Quicktime.
i'm at a loss!! hope someone can help.

I've edited in FCP and exported with compressor with all the appropriate settings, to mpeg 2.
Double check to make sure that you edited in Anamorphic and also encoded as 16:9 video not 4:3 - also make sure you set the Track to 16:9 Letterbox in DVD SP.
What encoding rates did you use for the video and audio? Sometimes if the rates are too high it can cause drifts.
On the audio side, did you export the FCP as self contained and make the audio AC3? Also you can try just exporting the audio as an AIF and encode that as an AC3.
How did you burn the DVD (Speed and Media used?) Sometimes bad burns/media can cause issues.

Export Premiere CS6 (h.264) - Audio out of sync with several players...

I've had this problem before, but unfortunately it happened again.
I exported an mp4 with h.264 compression. The file plays perfectly with VLC player and everything is in sync. Of course, in Premiere (CS6) everything is in sync as well.
It is also synced correctly with Windows Media Player, as long as you don't 'scroll' or skip parts in the video. If you do that, the audio gets out of the sync...
With QuickTime it is completely out of sync. Vimeo plays it back perfectly, with YouTube it is out of sync...
How is this possible? What is causing this?
I thought that it could have had something to do with the video and audio tracks not being of the same length. I have already mastered the audio tracks into 1 track (wav) and made the same length as the video tracks, before I exported... On previous projects I have have not done that, and the audio was slightly out of sync there as well on Youtube.
What did I do wrong? Any settings I could have done wrong? Is this a bug of Premiere? What can I do to prevent this?

Yea, that sounds plausible but from the other hand, this happens only with (my) exported clips from Premiere...
When I download or watch clips from the internet that are mp4 files with h.264 compression, there is no problem. I just skip through a file of 4GB and it plays back fine. Also the clips from my camera (which are h.264 files) play back fine with everything in sync.
Also, I almost never see sync problems on YouTube.
There is something else going on here... It must be.

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 ?

Quicktime .mov is Out of Sync on My Flash Drive

I have a 8GB HD Quicktime .mov file on my desktop that plays perfectly fine. However, every time I transfer that file to my 16GB flash drive and play it back on the flash drive, the movie is about one second OUT OF SYNC. I have tried this three times with the same results. Would appreciate any help anyone could offer. Thanks.

what is in an audio layer? if there's a sound attached, then its sync property must be set to stream if you want the display and sound to sync.
have you changed all your sound's to stream and, if so, has that solved the sync problem.

Quicktime audio & video out of sync in premiere cs5

i filmed a video using the built-in isight camera in my new macbook pro and the QuickTime video recorder. the videos look and sound fine, but when i put them into adobe premiere cs5 for editing, they audio and video get out of sync. how do i keep this from happening?
thanks!

In most cases I convert to PNG format (Portable Network Graphics) rather than JPG. File sizes are larger than JPG but rarely prohibitively so (and if they are I will then use JPG) .
Importantly, for this generally insignificant increase in size, you get a perfect lossless graphic with PNG.
For example this whole screen capture (1920 x 1200) shot is:
694K PNG (lossless)
2,341K JPG (lossless)
493K JPG (standard lossy)
Note that the forum scales images for display. To actually see it at full resolution you would right-click the image and 'Save As Image ...' to then view it in your favourite image viewer (I use VuePrint, XN-View and FutureixImager to view images).
Cheers,
Neale

Updated FCP 5.1 to 5.1.2 - Audio and video now out of sync

I just noticed in my software update that FCP needed to be updated. So I updated the program.
Now when I open exisiting projects the audio and video are out of sync even though they appear perfectly in sync in the timeline. Has anyone else had this problem? The problem also persists when cutting clips in the timeline. I will use the razor tool to make the cut and I cut the clip on a ceratain frame in the timeline and then in the viewer the clip was really cuts a second or two later. Does anyone know what is going on?
Very furstrating to say the least. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Clay

I am still wondering why you're recommending that I use an external drive for this project.
Because the internal has more than enough to do running Mac OS X and the applications. It is constantly writing files. While DV video is at the lower end of the scale, it is still asking a lot of the drive's read and write head.
I always used external drives, but we had many problems with delays and processing problems.
At the very least, you should be using FireWire external drives. USB is no good for video as it delivers data in packets, not the sustained stream that video needs. The drives must also be formatted as Mac OS Extended. Windows FAT 16 of FAT 32 formatted drives have file size limits of 2 and 4 GB respectively. Anything larger is segemented and can cause problems on a Mac.

Audio that was in sync is now out of sync

In CS5.5: I had an avi file that had audio and video that were completely synchronized. I had to uninstall and then reinstall premiere because of another issue which the reinstall corrected. However, when I went to open the project that was completely unchanged, the same avi file that had not been altered in any way had audio that was completely messed up. It was not only out of sync but the sound would jump around out of order. The original file is completely normal. Can anyone offer me an explanation/ solution to this issue?

Exported Slideshow to Quicktime Won't Play All Music

I've just finished a slideshow that I've exported to Quicktime in iPhoto 5. When I play the slideshow from iPhoto, the two music pieces I've selected from a folder in iTunes (the two tunes are the only items in the particular folder I've selected), only the FIRST song plays in the Quicktime movie -- the second half of the slideshow is mysteriously quiet. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hi annelouise,
Only one song exporting with Slideshows
Right now, this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
-From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
-Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
-Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
This worked well and was fast to do too.
-Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow
From scotty321 at MacOSXHints.com: If you have Roxio Toast Titanium installed on your machine, you can join unprotected tracks yourself by simulating a disc burn. Simply take these steps:
Go to the Audio tab in Toast.
Drag your audio files from iTunes into Toast.
Reshuffle them in the proper order within Toast.
Go up to File: Save As Disc Image. Save your disc image somewhere on your Desktop.
Choose Utilities: Mount Disc Image. The CD will mount on your desktop, and iTunes will think that you just inserted a CD.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go through the import process, and you've got a joined track! Simply rename the track to whatever you want to call it, and you're good to go.
From Lori...
Burn the playlist in iTunes.
Make sure you have itunes Prefs just open the Cd and not automatically play or import the songs.
Insert the burned CD and iTunes will open.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go to Advanced>convert selection to AAC.
When done, make a new playlist named after the slideshow.
Put the new combined track into the playlist.
In iPhoto, select this playlist for your slideshow.
