HDV exports have new sound sync problem in Quick Time

Hi
I'm on FCP 5.1.4. Prior to a few weeks ago, I've had no issue with exporting HDV files and playing on QuickTime. Now, regardless of the Quicktime Conversion I use, the exported video lags the sound. I went back to old projects and exported. Same thing. All the clips play fine in FCP. QuickTime is 7.5. I've read elsewhere people have had to downgrade to prior versions of QT. Anyone have a similar problem or have an idea what the root cause might be?
Specs of captured footage (pretty normal)
Capture video: 1440x1080
Copressor: HDV108060i
Video Rate: 29.97
Audeo: 48hz
Hope we can get some help here because I know others have the problem--and like me--are dead in the water on projects.
Thanks,
Phil

Figured out a solution. For those of you who have equipment/software similar to mine, FCP 5.4.1, IMAC G5 and QT 7.5. My project had multiple layered soundtracks. Sending to QT with any kind of compression didn't work. I wanted to ultimately get to an IPOD format. Here's what I did:
Export project as self-contained movie.
Open QT (don't just click on the file - it'll launch FCP).
Open the reference file you just made.
It'll open, but probably stutter because size of raw file; doesn't matter.
Stop QT from playing.
Choose Export; then any file type you want that's smaller.
I chose IPOD.
Works flawlessly.

New Outlook sync problem after update!!!

I had the 'original' Outlook sync problem, which went away after the iTunes update to 7.3.1, but now, after the iPhone update last night, I have an entirely NEW Outlook sync problem!!
When I sync the iPhone, right when it gets to the 'syncing contacts' part (that you see in the top box/window in iTunes) I get an error message that I haven't seen before. It says "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has encountered a problem and needs to close..." and it gives me the option to send an error report. I dismiss the error box, and the sync process hangs, and iTunes becomes unresponsive.
If I open Outlook, the two Apple sync oblects are still enabled, and get no error message. If I re-open iTunes and try to sync again, it only syncs iTunes content, and never even tries to sync my contacts or calendar.
Anyone having anything similar since last night? The only thing different is the iPhone firmware update.

I just cancelled the sync by using the slider. I didn't realize I could do that. The phone seems fine. I may try it again and see what happens.

I still have a warranty but it will be out in a week. i previously have a sound distortion problem with my mac for months and suddenly it just fix itself. what should i do? i'm worried that it will comeback and i dont have a warranty anymore.

JoBautista,
you still have the option (before your warranty expires) of purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan, which will provide an additional two years of coverage. Once your warranty expires, you will no longer have the option of purchasing AppleCare.

No Sound on iPhoto or Quick Time

I have moved to OS Yosemite and the following issue has occurred. My video clips on iPhoto run fine , but there is no sound with the video or ant volume slider on the video. I have used going back to Finder and playing the video back on Quick time, but the same issue exists i.e. the video plays fine, but no volume. I have also played the original file via Real Player and that plays fine with both the video, sound and the volume slider?
My camera is an Olympus SZ-31MR.
I would dearly like to play the clips via IPhoto please

I also have an Olympus SZ-31. Here's what's happening:
When I shoot videos and then take the SD card out of the camera and put it in my Mac, (videos are .MOV files) I can't get it to play. A message comes up on the computer saying Quick Time can't play the file and it may be damaged. JPEG pics come up fine. The videos play fine in the camera and also fine when I connect an HDMI cable to the camera and play them on a TV.
I have tried this on 2 different Macs - both have Mavericks - so it's not the computer. I have also tried 2 different SD cards and got the same result. I even tried reformatting the SD card and no change.
I can get the videos to play with Quick View or iMovie but in both cases the audio is missing.
I also checked the Olympus website to see if there was a firmware update and there isn't.
All of my other cameras, Canon, etc, work fine. I take out the SD card and put it in the computer, click on the video file I want to view and no problem. Quick Time opens the files and they play flawlessly.
I then tried an app I have called Smart Converter and it fixed the problem, but if I have to go through some kind of conversion process every time, that's ridiculous, plus you may lose image or audio quality in the conversion process. If I'm with a friend and want to give them the video, that doesn't work either. I should be able to just pop the SD card out of the camera, stick it in their Mac or even PC, load the file onto their computer and they have the video.
What's the problem? Thanks!

HDMI Sound Sync Problem

I've rented 5 movies and watched a couple of podcasts via Apple TV. In 5 of the 7 screenings, we've experienced problems with the sound failing to sync to the video. It's particularly bad with the Apple Keynotes. I have Apple TV connected via an HDMI cable to a Sony 1010 HD receiver, which is linked via HDMI to a Bravia 52" TV. I've tried direct hookup to the HDMI port on the TV and wound up with the same syncing problems. The receiver has a sync adjustment that I can use to get it close to sync but it's a pain and you have to stop watching the movie to **** around with it. Any suggestions?

I had an audio sync issue over HDMI when I had Settings / Audio & Video / Dolby Digital Out set to 'On' (which I had to do to get my receiver to detect the Dolby Digital Optical signal). Turning this setting to 'Auto' or off fixed my sync issues when using the HDMI audio stream.

Sound sync problem I don't understand

Hi. First post.
I have video with audio from the camera captured into iMovie. I also have separate audio from the same event through a firewire mixer into garageband exported as aif. (One of these days I'll get it all working into final cut).
My goal is to use the "firewire" audio with the video track. The video has a 10 minute gap in the middle, but the audio is continuous.
So I synchronize at the beginning, no problem. I then cut the extra audio piece out of the middle, and synchronize the beginning of the second part, no problem.
The first part is in perfect sync, beginning to end. But the second part goes increasingly out of sync the further into the timeline we go. I don't understand why the first part remains in perfect sync, but after cutting a little, the second part can't be sync'd up with the video track. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Howie

I am using Final Cut Express to do the editing.
The camera video/audio was captured from a Canon XHA1 in 4:3 SD mode into iMovie, and then exported to a quicktime movie, DV/DVCPRO-NTSC 48khz.
The "high quality audio" was captured via firewire into garageband, edited for levels on different tracks, then exported to itunes, then converted to aif, 48khz.
Both were imported into FCE. I rendered the audio for playback. I don't have any red lines in the sequence (I'm a beginner at FCE).
The out of sync problem was not part of the original video clip. It is with the external firewire audio BUT only with the second part of the video... i.e. the second video clip from iMovie. The iMovie capture had two clips, exported together into the single quicktime movie that was imported into FCE.
So maybe it has something to do with the two different video clips in iMovie... but I don't know what the difference could be.

New User - Sync Problems

This is my first BB and I am syncing for the first time. I have a Curve 8900 and the Desk Top Manager is version 4.7. I am hoping to work on the calendar, task, memo, and address book on my lap top and then sync to my BB. I have successfully transfered the Address Book to the Windows Contacts folder but when I try to sync the other applications the options that are offered are Yahoo or ACSII Importer/Exporter. I am not familiar with either of these programs and I am assuming that these are online programs. I am running Vista home version and Office 07 Home version. I do not have Outlook. If anyone can offer me some advice with respect to programs I can access or download it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

HT3523 I have done all my updates & my quick time will not play this new project, what is the problem?

My computer is updated but my quick time will not play a mov. file that i exported from final cut on a different Mac , what is the problem?

Final Cut adds some codecs that are not part of normal OS X. If your movie uses one of these codecs it won't play on a system that does not have Final Cut.
Adding these codecs may help:

Running os xp.cable connect ipod 2nd gen and box appears that asks that a camera is installed. i click no and i get no reconicition of a device in itunes. this is a recent happening. i have had no sync problems for almost 2 years. i cannot sync iphone too

have recently experienced sync issues with iphone 3gs,ipad2 and 2nd gen itouch.When i cable connect to xp pc i get a camera connected box. i opt out of this and itunes does not reconize my devices. Is ther something in my device manager missing?

Try this:

Also check is AMDS is installed and active:

I have asked iTunes to print a cover and get a Windows failed and it shuts down iTunes. The iTunes support asks for a serial number. My previous iTunes won't print CD cover is what started this. I have removed and reinstalled the iTunes, Quick Time etc

I have removed and reinstalled iTunes Version 11, Quick Time, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device, Bonjour, and Apple Applications Support. I received this instruction from "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923. I reinstalled Version 11 and it still will not print the CD covers and shuts down sometimes when I ask it to print. I hope they will find a way to make it work.

Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.
I know what SPSS stands for but that is all I know about it.

Exporting Large videos as image sequences using Quick Time Convert

I am trying to export some fairly long videos as image sequences >10000 frames with Final Cut Pro using the quick time conversion tool.
I am working with SD and HD videos.
While some sequences export without error (both SD & HD) occasionally an "error" occurs which results in the 10000th frame (and in one case the 1000th frame) not being written. The File is opened as "MyVideoName#FFFFFFF.png" but no data is written to it. (Obviously it should be MyVideoName10000.png)
There is 500Gb of free space on the disk I am writing to.
At the moment I can't even work out why it fails in some instances - apart from the fact it seems to be related to the file name.
I would appreciate any help any one can offer!
Thanks,
John
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.8) FCP HD 4.5; QT 6.5

Thanks for your reply!
So far I've not managed to come up with a workable solution.
Exporting as an image sequence is infact a work around... I originally was planning to export the videos as uncompressed .avi files but (as documented elsewhere) this does not work for videos >10Gb.
Some videos have exported fine both those longer and shorter than 10000 frames. However, for some videos only the first 9999 frames are exported. As a workaround I was planning to export the remainder of the videos seperately (as a subclip) but this only managed to export the first 999 frames (the 1000th file opened is called MyVideoName#FFFFFFFF, but no data is written to it).
At the moment I can't find any explanation for the cause of this problem. Are there any logs or any way to get more detailed error information?
Thanks again for your help,
John

New Front Row, iTunes and Quick Time updater

For user that not aware, there is a new updater for mac which is Front Row 1.3, iTunes 7.0.0 and QuickTime 7.1.3.
For my self, I think the iTunes 7.0.0 is excellent, I found it helpfull to categorize the video and TVshow that I have into a big art image with all the titles next to it instead of showing all as list or as icon in previous iTunes. Not to mention that we can buy a full length dvd movie ($9.99).
I wish the price is the same as songs or regular video ($2.99)...lol
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
Check the link above or use your software updater on your apple menu bar.
Good Luck and Enjoy.

The Updates
A. iTunes
I like the new iTunes a lot, but my major problem is that my music videos (from iTunes store and other sources) are in my music library! When I am typing or on the internet, iTunes is in mini player mode. All of a sudden a video window pops up and starts playing (what else) a video. I don't like that. The music and video mix transfers over to the iPod also. The main reason I don't like it (on the iPod) is because the audio for a video is different than the original song. An example of this is, Don't Speak -by: No doubt.
B. Front Row
I always liked Front Row and don't really notice any changes to it. It used to be a little slow on the exit, but after the update works like normal again. Therefore, I assume the update for Front Row was for the inner workings of the application. No complaints here.
C. Quick Time
I don't really use Quick Time. I do most of my video watching in iTunes of Front Row because I don't have to pay Apple to watch stuff full screen with those applications. Although, most of my videos are in Quick Time format because it takes anywhere from two (2) too thirty (30) seconds for Front Row to load Windows Media Video files from my external HD. (I guess that IS a complaint for Front Row, but don't tell him. ^_^)
D. iPod v. 1.2
Nice! 1) I can adjust the screen brightness (to conserve battery life). 2) Quick scroll thinggy (I lack the technical jargon to describe it). 3) Screen has a little brightness while it's connected to my computer. 'Nuf said.
E. Summary
I update anything Apple tells me to. But I am having some regrets about iTunes. Nothing that is going to make me uninstall iTunes and reinstall it from a CD (say... the CD that came with my iPod). I have sent a suggestion to Apple, so if you don't like the way things are, I suggest you do the same because posting here will do little to get it fixed. To do it, go to the menu bar while in iTunes and click:
iTunes>Provide iTunes feedback
It should be something similar in Windows, if any of you guys and gals are reading this. Everything else is fine.

Problems installing quick time

I have problems when installing Quick time 5, because when I finish installing it, it leaves me the following poster:
"It was not possible to open the file because it is not a file that he/she understands quick it cheats"
How I can solve this problem to be able to use it like it corresponds?

Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now run the utility (“Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up”), select any QuickTime entries in the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, and then click “Remove”.
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click Computer.
2. In Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through any better this time?
