HELP!?! Enhanced podcast images out of sync!!

I created an enhanced podcast using GarageBand and adding cover art for each track.
When I play the file in VLC player or Winamp, the images show up correctly, exactly the way they should.
But when I download the podcast on my iPod touch, the images are out of sync. There will be tracks that are supposed to have cover art, but instead display the Podcast's default image, and then the cover art for the previous track shows up late, on the wrong track.
Again, to be clear, there in nothing wrong with the file that is up download - the artwork displays correctly. It is when it is downloaded through iTunes (on an iPhone/iTouch) that the images display incorrectly - and these two are the platforms that enhanced podcasts take advantage of.
What could be the problem??

I don't know if this is the same thing, but I had a problem with footage from my XL1s. The strange thing, on the timeline, the audio and video tracks were of the same length, but when playing the time line, the video lagged the audio by 2 or 3 seconds. It turned out that the 'problem' wasn't real. The computer was under heavy load and apparently was simply slow in processing and displaying the video image. When I rebooted the computer and ran only FCP, the same clips played back perfectly in sync.

Videocast audio and images out of sync

Hi, I'm new to podcasting so please forgive me. I've converted a Quicktime Movie to .m4v in Quicktime Pro. Everything plays fine in iTunes but audio and images become out of sync when I play it on my nano. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This sort of problem bedevils digital video, including satellite and digital terrestrial television. You may be stuck with it; but you could try askiing in the iPod Nano forum.

Enhanced podcasts, images do not update in separate window?

Hi all, when I watch an enhanced podcast, the images update in the itunes artwork window as they should,
but if I click on the window to display the images in a separate window the images do not update in the new window,
if I do this with a video podcast then it works just fine, the video plays in the separate window without any problems,
is this a bug, or is itunes not able to do this yet?
cheers, Rob

Hi Rob,
Did you ever figure this out? I posted two similar questions (with no replies) before seeing yours. If this feature does not exist, I am thinking that this is something that Apple needs to address in the next iTunes update. Since Apple is promoting enhanced podcasts, it is only reasonable that iTunes make them easy to watch.

Enhanced Podcast Image Size?

Hi - I'm wondering if anyone knows what the minimum, maximum, recommended, or optimal image size and resolution are for building enhanced podcasts in Garageband. I have looked through a variety of support options at Apple and I can't find any guidelines about what file types and sizes can be used when adding images to an enhanced podcast, just which sound and video files are supported. The podcasts may be viewed via iTunes or on an iPod, so the viewing size may vary drastically. Any tips would be helpful! Thank you!

Hi
Optimal size/resolution for an extended podcast image is 300x300 at 72 dpi. Use .jpg

Enhanced Podcasts images not appearing in iTunes

I'm using the host site Podbean.com to publish to iTunes. My enhanced podcasts (m4a) files appear on the host site (http://bias.podbean.com) just fine. But when I watch them on the iTunes host page (below) the images do not appear in the podcast while it plays. I have the cover photo but none of the photos in the enhanced podcast. When I originally sent it to iTunes from GarageBand it worked fine, (and still does in my playlist) but the feed available to my students (which is the whole point) doesn't come out right, thoughts?

iTunes does not show the images in enhanced podcasts when you simply play them from the Store page - don't ask me why. If you subscribe, then you will see the images, and this is the best way for your students to get your podcasts.
If you click the 'subscribe' button on the Store page, then you will see the podcast listed when you click on Library>Podcasts in the sidebar. Clicking on the disclosure triangle will show the list of episodes: the latest one will be downloaded automatically and you can click on 'Get' to download the earlier ones. All subsequent episodes will be downloaded automatically as soon as they are published (provided iTunes is running). When you play them you will see the images.

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!

HELP: Audio regions get out of sync when I change tempo

I've got Logic Pro 9. I've recorded audio on a few tracks, and they sound great together. When I go to change tempo (either in the transport bar or in the tempo track), the regions change in size and move around horizontally, and get out of sync as a result.
Has anyone had this problem? Why should changing the tempo of the project affect the position of the audio regions IN RELATION TO ONE ANOTHER? I want them to stay in sync after changing tempo.
Thanks in advance!

The reason they move is that logic is a bar/beat based Sequencer rather than a time based sequencer like pro tools. The regions adhere to the tempo grid and when the tempo is changed, they seemingly lengthen or shorten because the tempo shifts the bar/beat grid with respect to time--and audio regions normally Are inflexible and last for a fixed amount of time no matter what the tempo is changed to. This is an advantage when your audio is quantized musical events, but for non musical events it's a disaster because it screws up your edits.
To fix the problem, find the timelock key command and highlight all regions you don't want the tempo change to affect. after selecting them all, timelock them with this command.
But, from your post Im guessing that you have bigger problems than this....Timelocking regions will only prevent region starts from shifting around and will leave all your edits unchanged. but it won't speed or slow down your audio; It will not alter lengths to fit a new tempo. if your tracks are music tracks in a certain tempo and you are trying to change the tempo of your recorded audio, you must enable the flex mode on each track. For this you should read the part of the manual on the flex engine. Bear in mind that the audio quality of this ranges from ok to terrible depending on the material.
The moral of the story is that you should try to arrive at the correct tempo before recording audio tracks.

HELP!! Audio Out of Sync in Anamorphic Capture... Any Help Appreciated

I've been having problems with the audio drifting when I capture anamorphic footage for longer than 10 minute segments. I've captured 4:3 NTSC DV tape to see if it was my GL2 and I also hooked up my camera to a monitor to playback the tape but the audio was in sync all the way through for both tests. Only capturing the anamorphic footage results in audio drifts regardless of any capture settings.

I am fairly new to iDVD 6 and iMovie HD (widescreen), but I an currently assembling a highlight DVD for my daughter's softball team. We are in mid season. I had been creating separate movies (per game). I extracted audio and/or added sound and video effects to some of the movies clips. Alas not only do the extracted (original audio) and added audio (outdoor cheer) disappear but also the video special effects (slow motion) are not maintained in widescreen but are pillarboxed when copied/pasted.
At any rate, I am have now created a compilation iMovie and will be dumping new footage into it as we go. Editing the compilation, as well as editing separate "save as" individual game movies.
I only had 2-3 clips that had been audio manipulated and shared those back to my video camera and then reimported from camera back to the compilation project. The extracted audio with separate tracks are now a single audio clip but at least I have audio during those clips.
To end this ramble, knowing the limitations of messing with audio and trying to cut and paste to different movies I will now create duplicate movies with a master having no audio enhancements.
Dave
Thanks, Len
I hadn't thought about this option. It seems like a
lot of work. I wish there was an easier way. I have
archived ("Shared" to full dv quality) to DVD-ROM
discs all the raw .dv clips AFTER extracting the
audio, hoping that I could use these clips to
assemble custom DVD-Videos in the future, without
having to "Extract Audio" a second time. The .dv
clips all play perfectly with the audio synced in
Quicktime. Of course, the clip's audio was in sync
before the "Extract Audio" was applied. This sync
problem ONLY rears it's ugly head with iDVD Video
discs (don't know about DVD Pro). Thanks again for
the suggestion.

IPhone Calendar wiped out after sync with an empty Outlook 2003 Calendar

I need some help.
iPhone Calendar wiped out after sync with an empty Outlook 2003 Calendar.
Unable to restore from backup as my iPhone was backed-up before I realised my calendar info was gone.
I found an old backup file in my old disk but was unable to move the old calendar data to the empty outlook after restore. It just keep wiping out after I sync.
Thanks.

I have managed to find an old back up to restore my iPhone. However even with at least one entry in my outlook, my calendar details on my iPhone was still wiped out and was not transferred to my outlook.

I can't get garageband to export! It keeps getting stuck at 'creating chapters' when I try to export my enhanced podcast. Please help!

I am trying to export my enhanced podcast through garageband. I have all the current updates. I am on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 2.3GHz with 8GB ram. My enhanced podcast (podcast with pictures) is about 80 mins long and I have tried exporting with everything from the lowest settings to the highest always with the same result. I have tried deleting GB preferences. I have tried repairing permissions to no avail.
I hit export to disk or send to itunes.
I select some AAC format I want (optimized for spoken podcast).
It slowly builds the mix, normalizes, and creates chapters (yeah, it goes through the creating chapters bar to completion)
Then it goes all candystripe on the creating chapters bar once it fills up and will hang forever (hung for 8 hours....pretty much sounds like 'forever' in my book).
Please help...I have my podcast sitting there waiting to be used....I have tried exporting smaller chunks (by moving the end of file bar) but that doesn't work either. Is there a way to just send the pictures and the picture start times over to imovie and work with it there? I'd much rather work with the tools that imovie has but man that program is just a PITA to use when you want to run through 100+ pictures for variable durations (whereas it's easy to just drag and drop with garageband as you do playback).
The file only has one stereo audio track!

Hi notmatthew, I have exactly the same problem as you. I am trying to export a podcast about iPod X Anniversary so I need to publish it next sunday.
It's midnight in Spain but tomorrow I will tray something I read in other post:
w4b3l said:
Problem solved.
I deleted the chapters one by one, exporting it each time, until it worked. i then replaced the image (which was a .jpg and i converted to .png) with that chapter and now it works.
Could you try it?

Dropped images in enhanced podcast

I have been creating enhanced podcasts and am noticing that a handful of images will not display after I've transfered the file from iTunes to my iPod. All files are saved and imported in the same way, yet less than a dozen out of 50-60 images won't display on the iPod. It plays and displays fine in iTunes. Is anyone else experiencing this problem. And if so what is a work around?
Thanks!

I'm having the exact same issue. My enhanced podcast (this is the first one I've done) is only about three minutes in, but has a ton of images, all of which play fine in iTunes, but do not play on either my iPod nano third-generation, or my second generation iPod touch. I have a hard time believing that the processor speed on those devices isn't fast enough to keep up, given that they can do so much (especially the iPod touch) with graphics. I really was that Apple would get on this, but in their relentless pursuit to push certain things, a lot is getting left out.

Issues with finder going out of sync with file images in cover flow.

Hi All,
I'm having issues with files going out of sync with images in cover flow since updating to Mavericks. Typically, if I had for example 10 pictures listed as 1 to 10, if i deleted images 6&7 the images remain in coverflow but the file listings are removed, then if i click on image 7 the file listing of image 8 is highlighted, then to make matters worse, if i click on the file listing for image 9 in shows image 8 in cover flow. To stop this I have to shut down finder and restart it, then the whole thing repeats itself if i delete more images. Its a nightmare when your working with 50 plus images at a time!!! Help!!
Thanks all.

com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and com.apple.finder.plist
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/. Move the .plists to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by loggin out/in and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.
If you look at the 'More Like This' box (top right) it seems the Cover Flow view is having problems.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Video images and sound are out of sync

Hi, I'm new to videocasts so please forgive me. I have a few video podcasts that play fine in iTunes and in other iPods but audio and images become out of sync when I play it on my Nano. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What format were the original items ?
What frame rate are they in the original ?
What format are they on the AppleTV (H264 video AAC audio is the most common, but there are others) ?
What is the video frame rate now ?
Most out of syncs come from an imperfect attempt to encode for AppleTV. ie. DVD frame rate is 29.97fps. Many encode this to 30fps. So the movie plays 0.1% too fast, too little for you to notice, but at the end of a 100 minute film, the audio is 6 seconds out of sync with the video. Or 3 seconds on a 45 minute TV show.
Also check the source. I'd had DVDs (Alien Resurrection) jump 10 seconds out of sync in the middle of the movie. Back to the shop for that one.

Enhanced Podcast Playback, with chapters and useable images?

I'm having trouble streaming enhanced podcasts from my iTunes PC to my Apple TV (software v.2.0). The audio plays, but there are no chapter markers show and no images.
If I sync the enhanced podcast I get the images (without any obvious chapter markers). The problem with this is that the images are displaced in the "angled" box next to the playtime line on the AppleTV. This is OK for some images, but useless for some that are presentation slides, e.g. in the excellent Jeff Curto photography history podcasts. http://photohistory.jeffcurto.com/
has anyone any suggestions on how I can view the slides "face on" and preferably full screen?
Thanks
Martin

I have been having a similar problem too. I have noticed that the enhanced podcast works on ipods, laptops, etc but I have yet to see it work correctly on Apple TV. The more I look into the problem... the more I begin to believe it is a bug with Apple TV.
I am hoping an answer comes up very soon or even an update.

Enhanced Podcast Feature option grayed out, Displays URL

Does anyone know why the option Displays URL is grayed out all the time when creating an enhanced podcast?
I have tried adding valid URL's but the option is never available and when the podcast is generated no URL's are shown or available to click on.
This makes enhanced podcasts useless and hence iLife a pointless upgrade for me, if it dont work, it DONT work!
Is this me or have Apple released this without it working? Seems strange as there are pics of this option all over the iLife website.
Glad of any help.

There is nothing wrong!
Firstly, I am a fool! hahahaha
Secondly, If you have a 15" PowerBook you maybe don't notice that the last box you can see actually says "URL Title" and not just "URL"!!!
So enter a title, scroll right a bit and enter the URL.
Everything will then work ok!
This may be of help to some other poor idiot that has done the same thing as me!
I can go back to LOVING GarageBand3 again, thank goodness!
