Exporting to HD - audio is out of sync

Hi
(I'm using Elements 4 and Vista.)
I've completed my video and all looks great on preview and in timeline - however, when I export to the HD (whether it's windows media or mpeg etc) the audio is out of sync? It seems to be in slightly different places too...
(I have rendered etc).
Any ideas?
Many thanks

It's most likely related to your source video. This is especially common with video captured by a program other than Premiere Elements.
What type of video files are you using as your source -- what kind of camcorder did they come from and how did you get them into your computer?

  • Why does my audio slip out of sync when exporting?

    I am exporting an HD edited video. I shot 1280x720 & editing in FCP 6.0.5. I am using APPLE PRO RES 422 1280x720 30fps 48kz . Should it be (HQ)?? - I do not select re-compress all frames or make self-contained. I just want a QT reference file to view and then burn a DVD. My clip is 43 minutes long. HOWEVER, the audio drifts out of sync BIG TIME. Why is that??
    Here are my sequence settings:
    1280x720 Aspect Ratio HDTV 720p (16:9)
    Square Pixels
    H.264
    Audio at 48kHz

    That's what I thought, however, when I play back the .mov file after exporting using "current settings", that's when I experience OUT OF SYNC audio. Do I ignore that and drag and drop that file into iDVD and let iDVD crunch it??? Is it just the playback of that .mov file that is out of sync?

  • Rate Stretch audio goes out of sync when exported.

    Audio, which is rate stretched using the rate stretch tool to 100.01%, plays fine in Premiere Pro CS6. However, when exported to Encore or to MPEG-2 file, the audio is no longer stretched and becomes out of sync by the end of the video. When I play the preview in Encore, the audio is out of sync. Switch back to Premiere, it is OK. Export a MPEG-2 file and author a DVD, the audio is out of sync. Go back to Premiere, it is OK. I record the audio using a TASCAM portable recorder. I have recorded and synched audio many times and this is the first time that it does not work, on two separate Premiere projects. Any ideas on how to fix this. Even better, is there a way to record audio so that it matches the video (from a Panasonic HD AVCHD camcorder) without requiring rate stretch adjustment?

    Try changing the speed with right click, Speed/Duration instead of using the Rate Stretch tool.

  • Slideshow audio gets out of sync when exported to iDvd

    I made a large slideshow for a 40th anniversary party. It has 244 images & 7 songs. It is 29 min 54 seconds long. When I view the slideshow in iPhoto it works fine & the last image ends right at the end of the last song.
    When I exported it to iDvd, the audio gets out of sync with the video. By the end of the first song, the video is about 2 seconds ahead. By the end of the last image, the last song is cut of by about 30 to 45 seconds. I tried exporting the slideshow directly to iDvd. I also exported it as a large movie & it did the same thing.
    I'm using a 17" 1.67ghz powerbook with 1.5 gigs of ram.
    I'm using OS 10.4.2.
    I'm using iPhoto 5.0.4
    I'm using iDvd 5.0.1
    The images are scanned tiffs. I also have jpegs that I shot with my canon eos digital rebel xt.
    Anybody have any ideas or work-arounds?

    I suggest you either use iDVD to create two slideshows or use iMovie to get all 277 images and the 8 audio tracks into one slideshow. If you use iMovie after you get the slideshow/movie put together and completed quit iMovie. Then go into the iMovie project package (Control-click and select Show Package Contents). The find your movie in the Shared Movies folder and drag it into an open iDVD menu. This allows iDVD to to the rendering of the stills and give you a sharper image. That movie file you're dragging is a reference movie so leave it where it is and just drag it into iDVD's window.
    If you can live with two separate slideshow (consider it a potty break between the two) and you don't have or need the Ken Burns effect, you can get excellent results by building the slideshows with iDVD from imported stills. The sync to audio in this method works as advertised. I like to add a blank slide at the end of the slideshow so the music fades out during a blank, black slide.

  • HELP!  Audio goes out of sync after export!

    OK, folks. I need your help. I have a looming deadline of THIS FRIDAY to hand this in.
    I have a finished multicam edit of a show that runs 1 hr 20 min. It plays back perfectly in the timeline, all video and audio perfectly in sync. Looks and sounds exactly like what I need.
    When I export the video as an H.264 file, the audio gets out of sync with the video by 13 frames! But that's not all... It doesn't happen to the entire audio track. There's about 50 minutes in the middle of the video where the audio goes out of sync. The audio at the beginning and ending of the video is lined up perfectly in sync. It's just the middle section that gets screwy.
    What do I do?!
    This has never happened before, and I've worked a lot with multicam in Premiere Pro CC before this. Never been an issue. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere, and also deleting all media cache files, but still no dice.  I also tried copying the clips into a new sequence in the same project, copying the clips into a new sequence in a NEW project, nesting the sequence... nothing works.
    My setup:
    MacBook Pro Retina (Rev. A)
    Premiere Pro CC (latest version)
    Panasonic GH3 footage in 1080p 24p AVCHD timeline
    3 cameras & 1 audio WAV file in Multicam
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    OK, I figured out how to fix it:
    In Premiere Pro CC, click on SEQUENCE > DELETE RENDER FILES.
    Try exporting the movie again.
    It worked! I exported the same sequence, and it took a long while to re-render the audio files, but when it was finished exporting the audio and video were in perfect sync. I'm not sure what caused it, but this fixed it, so hopefully anyone else having this issue can save a lot of time by reading this.
    Cheers!

  • AppleTV export: Audio goes out of sync on long videos

    I am using Quicktime Player Pro to compress several long (30-90min) videos to watch on my other Apple products. The AV sync is perfect in my original movies (they are NTSC 29.97 DVCPRO50 with uncompressed AIFF 48KHz audio) However, when I export using any of the h264 presets (AppleTV, iPod, or iPhone) the audio becomes out of sync near the end of the video.
    This seems like a bug. Is there some way to correct this?

    Trim into smaller clips well under 30 minutes. Encode each separately then join them after. You can encode the clips a lot faster in MPEG Streamclip (free) and in a batch list as well.

  • Audio goes out of sync when i open project on diff macs

    i have an iMovie project created on an iMac saved to an external.
    I go to open the project up on my macbook and the audio is out of sync.
    I go back to my iMac with the same project and it works just fine.
    I'm a bit confused because both macs use Mac OS X 10.6.4 and iMovie 8.0.6
    what other differences might there be?
    any input is appreciated as I'd love to work on projects while out in the field!

    Try exporting the iMovie project as a single full quality dv format quicktime file.
    I use iMovie6 HD and this is my usual procedure that works well.
    Make the movie in iMovie, will involve many separate clips. When finished, export (share) as a single full quality dv format quick time file. When I have an hours worth of smaller projects, I create a new iMovie project and import all of the quicktime .dv files for each separate short project. I add chapter markers in this project, then share with iDVD. I then burn an hours worth of stuff at best quality and distribute to family and friends.
    iDVD seems to work better with iMovie source that has fewer clips.
    BTW: Are you having problems with standard def or hi def iMovie source. Another part of my procedure is that I take the raw tapes and download the entire thing into one iMovie project. I don't edit or change the footage at all, just want to archive to DVD for posterity. In this case, I want to share the iMovie project with iDVD directly. This has worked OK for standard def projects, but my first hi def project (1080i) that I tried, the sound was out of sync. To fix this, I had to create a regular DV widescreen iMovie project, and drag all the clips into it from the HD project. It took over an hour for my humble mac mini to convert the files, but I was then able to share with iDVD and the finished DVD worked ok.
    Hope this helps.

  • When I use media manager to upres clip audio goes out of sync

    I captured a clip and put it in DVNTSC 48kHz timeline at OfflineRT NTSC (Photo JPEG) then used the media manager to create a new sequence at full DV NTSC 48kHz res. I choose "Create offline", "set sequences to DV NTSC 48 kHz", and check all the boxes. I save a new project, open the new timeline and recapture the clip. The video looks great--it recaptures in full DVNTSC 48kHz res. But the audio is out of sync (by about 28 frames it looks like). What am I doing wrong? (This is the first time I'm trying this offline-then-online-process.) thanks.

  • DV import - audio is out of sync 3 frames

    This never happened to me in FCP, so curious as to why audio is out of sync 3 frames...
    Footage is DV/NTSC 48K/16 bit, (footage is not shot w/this camera but) I am importing with my SONY hdr-hc7 (as usuall). 
    Thanks

    Hi, thank you for your responses...
    I know the sync on the actual tape is fine because I also captured into FCP to compare, and the audio was fine there... I also played back directly on a TV from the tape, and it was also okay. I noticed more when I actually exported my edited spot viewed in QT player, and it was out of sync. That is actually where It was most noticible... Then I opened a captured clip directly in QT Pro 7 and it was out of sync. I then imported the clip that I captured via Premier into FCP, and again out of sync...
    This has never happened in FCP in my many years of using it... I tihnk it may be a Premier Bug, as I searched and found some similar sounding issues.
    Or perhaps some setting was wrong, who knows. I don't know how much longer I will be capturing DV but if there is a fix out here it would be great. And its not a huge issue, but it is rather cumbersome having to re-adjsut each clip by 3 frames.

  • My audio goes out of sync after import

    I have a bunch of masters of 1h documentaries that I've done using Adobe Premiere CS6. I've exported the masters using exactly the same specs:
    Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ), 23.98fps, 1920x1080p, 48kHz, 16b, PCM audio.
    I have to do some changes on the masters of these shows. They all play fine on several players like VLC, Quicktime, Mpeg Streamclip, etc. However after I import the masters into Premiere Pro CC, 3 out of 10 shows get the audio gradually out of sync, even on the source monitor before I put them on a timeline. The behaviour continues even after I place them on a timeline.
    The project settings are the same as the masters and so are the sequence settings. I've tried to recreate the project, delete and re-import, duplicate the file and import that, and no matter what I do the same 3 masters go out of sync after the import.
    I've tried to find a solution in many forums and despite noticing that several people have the same issue, no one has a valid solution for my problem.
    I cannot go back to CS6 since my company updated their systems to CS7 so I can't even cross check.
    Any suggestion will be most welcome.
    Thanks in advance peeps.

    Couple of suggestions.
    First, rather than opening the Master export, go back to the original project.  That should open fine in CC.
    Second, with a CC subscription, you do have access to the full CS6 suite.

  • Audio Is out of sync in DVDSP

    Audio Is out of sync in DVDSP but the FCP file used for QT export is fine. The compressed AC3 even seems streached like it's out of sync in the beginning but gets closer to in-sync as it plays down the timeline.
    I've used "Clip start trim" to adjust the audio in areas but that puts other areas of the same track out of sync.
    Scratch, scratch... Help

    I don't think it's a DVDSP problem from your description. I wonder if it's a compressor problem since everything is in sync on your FCP timeline but the problem shows up on export after going through compressor. (1) What happens if you export your project as a QT file (not self contained) and let DVDSP do the encoding? If that fixes the problem, I'd conclude it is indeed a compressor problem and I'd check that forum to see if anybody else is having a similar problem. (2) If the problem still exists, then maybe the problem is actually back in FCP. If that's the case, I'd use FCP rescue (see that forum to obtain this handy utility), repair permissions, and then see what happens. By the way, I'd repair permissions in any event- you never know when that's going to work!

  • Exported mixes from STP drift out of sync

    STP seems to have a mind of it's own. Mixes that use to export fine are now drifting out of sync over time, about 2 seconds over fifteen minutes. If I export the mix either directly from STP or through Compressor, it drifts.
    However if I export with video (through Compressor), the audio is in sync properly.
    Does anyone on the STP team have a clue as to what this might be? It's driving us nuts!
    Michael Buday

    Thanks Gavin. I often do the same thing, export projects with a large number of tracks through Compressor because exporting directly from STP is just too unreliable (missing EFX, keyframe levels/pans missed entirely, etc.)
    I tried exporting as usual through Compressor using the standard 48:16 preset, but again - drift. When I then switched to PRESERVE VIDEO with the same audio settings, the sync was fine. This is a workaround, but a real pain in the butt because I then have to extract the audio out of the .mov file. Not rocket science, but just too many steps to do all the time.
    The weird thing is, this has happened only three times out of about 50 projects, but once it occurs, it's as if the project is corrupted in some way and it never exports properly again.

  • Audio drifts out of sync since Quicktime 7.6 update!

    Help!
    Seems like ever since i updated the Quicktime to 7.6 my uncompressed 8 or 10 bit sequences for playout to digital betacam drifts out of sync over time!
    But when i just go to the end of the sequence and hit play, everything seems fine.
    I just restarted to my old Tiger system and there the problem doesn't seem to be there.
    Any ideas??
    I use the blackmagic Multibridge Extreme.
    Another strange thing is that when i playout to HD, there is also no problem!
    Thank you for your time,
    Steve Pittoors

    I have had my audio drift out of sync also, not with Betacam, but DV. I basically send the audio from FCP to STP and tweek the audio, and then on export back to FCP it adds about 10 frames worth of audio. It starts in sync and then drifts by the end of the sequence. I have had no problems with shorter sequences - ie. 30 sec. The one I am working on now is just over 6 minutes. What is weird is that the sequence length in both FCP and STP are the exact same, but when I export back it drifts and adds in the extra frames.
    I tried fiddling with all the framerate settings in STP and it still does it.
    I posted last night in FCP and STP forums and haven't had any luck.

  • Audio Drifts Out of Sync After Demux

    Hi,
    I demuxed an hour-long program from DVD to .m2v and .ac3 using MPEG Streamclip. The audio drifts out of sync very gradually, and by the end is way off.
    I don't want to re-compress the audio, as it is already AC3. According to Quicktime, the video is 29.97 fps, and the audio is 16-bit 48 khz.
    When I used to Export to DV option, everything stayed in sync. I can't go this route, however, since I can't afford to re-compress anything (I'm making a new DVD from this old one). Just an FYI that this worked.
    Ever run into this problem before?

    I am using version 1.9. In the preferences pane, I don't have anything checked.
    To reiterate, all I'm trying to is demux the DVD as-is and bring those assets into DVD Studio Pro for an updated project. Not using FCP anywhere in this workflow.
    Looks like I left out an important piece of info, though...When I demux the audio stream to AC3 (its original format), and try to import it into DVD Studio Pro, I get the error message: "Variable bit rate audio assets cannot be imported." I am not sure how the client originally encoded their audio, but the fact that it stays in sync on the DVD led me to believe they didn't do anything wrong. Could this VBR be throwing the audio off during the demux? The only instances where I've noticed it's out of sync are when I export to an uncompressed format like AIFF or WAV, and can actually view it.

  • Audio falling out of Sync after importing into PP

    Hello there,
    I'm relatively new to this, so please when you're helping me, dummy it down as much as you possibly can.
    I've been using Xsplit to record games while I play. I recorded a ~2 hour video and toward the beginning of the video  it seems to be pretty a-okay but later in the video when I play it in premier pro, the audio starts falling out of sync.
    I have no idea why it does this or what to do. When I play the original raw video the audio and video are both on time.
    After googling this issue for about 40 minutes (and i'm not 100% sure what this means but I have a general idea) I read somewhere that the reason why the audio was out of sync was because xsplit uses a "variable framerate".
    Not sure if this is true or not, but regardless, I tried exporting numerous times and the audio STILL falls out of whack.
    I looked on xsplit and there was a setting that i could enable to force constant frame rate.... is this a solution to that problem?
    Please, help me.
    Thank you.

    If your current video file DOES use a Variable Frame Rate, it will not edit properly in any version of Premiere
    Force your software to create a Constant Frame Rate file and try again
