How To Sync Video To Audio

Hello all
I edit a wedding and notice that during the speeches the video and audio is out of sync the speaker is using a mike. Looking at the output on the TV everything is in sync but in the timeline it is totally of sync. Why is that? I look at the TV when recording so I didn't notice that after playing back the recorded DVD. I try to Mark in Sync in the Modify but it is not highlited I could be making the wrong move. If any one can make a suggestion I sure will appreciate it.
Thanks
Sabrina

You always have to monitor your audio through the same path as the video.
If it is in sync when you are sending your audio and video to the external monitor (through firewire) you are fine. If you CANVAS or VIEWER shows otherwise, you have audio and video going to different output devices.
In short, always monitor through firewire (if it's DV) and have audio set to AUDIO FOLLOWS VIDEO. That way, you will always know the truth (or at least FCP's version of it...)
cheers,

How to unlink video and audio in FCPX

I am new in FCPX.. can someone tell me how to unlink video and audio in FCPX ? and how to mute audio rather than low the -db ?

There's no 'Unlink' audio (as such) in FCP X but if you select a clip in the timeline, and press Shift+Ctrl+S, the audio breaks away from the clip. Select this, and you can toggle it on and off by pressing V.
Take care with this, because it's easy to get the audio out of sync. You need to move the audio and video together if you have to move them, so I would select them both and press Option+G to make them into a Compound Clip (to preserve sync).
To mute the audio embedded in a clip, select the clip in the timeline and press Cmd+4 to open the Inspector.
Click the Audio Tab at the top of the Inspector and uncheck the Audio Waveform(s). Your Audio will be muted.
To mute audio for the entire project, go to the Roles tab in the Timeline Index (next to the film reel icon) and uncheck Audio or Dialogue (as appropriate).

Syncing video and audio

I have been syncing video and audio into a sequence and using those sequences in a new master sequence. Is that the right way to do it? Is there a way to have the video and audio in a useable clip? I could not find this information in the manual, but if I missed it can someone refer me to the chapter that covers this topic.
Thank you

you can set in and out points for both the video and audio clips in either the viewer or in the browser, then select the two, right click - merge clips (or Modify/Merge Clips if you prefer the menu.)

How to align or sync video and audio?

In Premiere 13, once I have added a video/audio clip and then either slow down the clip or add photos in between the clip causes the video and audio to be out of sync. How does one re-align or re-sync the clip once it has been edited? Thanks

mrsndmn
On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
There are several ways to avoid disturbing an existing Timeline when you are adding to it.
1. Using what are called keyboard modifiers, such as Ctrl or Alt (Windows).
2. Grouping block of clips so that the clips move together
The following video tutorial is offered for informational and not promotional reasons
Premiere Elements: Arranging clips on the Timeline using modifier keys | lynda.com - YouTube
It uses a version of Premiere Elements earlier than 13, but the principles involved are the same.
The video and audio that are going out of sync.... are they linked or grouped before the addition to the existing Timeline?
After the fact, you will need to move the Timeline components back in place.
If the video and audio are not linked or group, you can
(a) highlight the clip, hold down the Alt key of the computer main
keyboard and tap the appropriate arrow key for a 1 frame per tap nudge of the clip.
(b) highlight the clip, hold down the Shift+Alt key of the computer main
keyboard and tap the appropriate arrow key for a 5 frames per tap nudge of the clip.
Please review and consider. If questions or need clarification on the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

How to edit video to audio with a sub-frame precision?

As all of my other posts I must begin by stating that this is not an RTFM issue. I have read the manuals and searched the web and this forum already.
Also I beg you to read this question first before answering some nonsense. Ok, off the soapbox now.
I am having issue synching video to audio.
I am editing a music video at the moment at 23.976 fps. There is a master sound track (48/16) to which all of the video must be synched.
I have not found a way of changing the position of a video clips in the timeline relative of the master audio track with a higher than a frame precision in order to obtain a perfect lip-sync.
I am aware of the fact that one should enable "display audio units" in the timeline in order to shift an audio track relative the video with the sub frame precision, which is very useful when doing dialogue replacement to a video. For the video I am still not able to do so. Is it at all possible? Is there a workaround?
How do they achieve a perfect lipsync when they make professional music videos?
Thank you!

Actually, you can set markers on the audio clip between frames. I rember this from Jacob Robenbergs book Premiere Pro 2.0 Studio Techniques.
You double click on the audio clip. It opens in the Source monitor. Then click on the fly-out menu and select SHOW AUDIO UNITS.
Now in the source monitor you can place a marker (to be used for syncing) anyhere within the frame. Set a numbered marker.
Now you have a sync marker intraframe on the Audio. You then sync this audio marker the Frame you need. Select both clips and choose syncronize.
So it is not sub video frame, it is sub Audio frame to the correct video frame start.
See below. The audio sync marker is in the middle of the frame. Hope this helps.

Sync video to audio

I am trying to make a hip-hop music video. I have one audio track that is unpinned (detached) from the video clips. In one part of the track I visually synced a clip (lets call it CLIP1) to the audio track so its synced with the mouth. Its a 15 second clip. I want to drop in several other small clips into that same timeline with keeping the original video (CLIP1) synced to the audio throughout. ie) CLIP1-CLIP2-CLIP1-CLIP3-CLIP1-CLIP4-CLIP1.
How can i drop in other small video clips into the CLIP1 timeline without moving the CLIP1 video from the audio.
I have heard of beat markers but it doesn't work the way i need to. I have tried Pinning the audio but it still moves CLIP1 around. Does anyone know???

Yes.. Just drag the other audio clips to the frame where you want them to start.

How to link video and audio channels of multiple clips

Importing iMovie08 sequence via XML ends up with unlinked video and audio channel (only one of the stereo channels; see other post).
It is possible to link each clips audio and video track individualy.
Is there a way to do it in batch mode for all the clips in de timeline??

1. After selecting the in points on main audio and one of two video tracks, the "merge clips" is greyed. Yes,in case you're wondering, the audio is on the HD.
Your use of language is confusing me I'm afraid. You opened the AIFF file and set an IN then opened a QuickTime movie and set and IN and then with them both selected in the Browser (and the Browser the active window) that you cannot select Modify->Merge Clips... ?
I wasn't wondering anything about your audio, but now I'm wondering "What does 'the audio is on the HD' mean?"
2. The other issue is that the starting point is silent, so the only I know how to find the actual beginning is by counting frames back from the first sound. Is that what I have to do? Is would seem to me that there must be a "marker" that's not and "in" or "out" that will allow me to merge the tracks. No?
If you set an IN point in two clips you can merge them using the Merge Clips... command with the in points option. The IN points you choose can be anywhere and for anything. They can be where the clapper hits and sounds, they can be where a drum stick hits a cymbal, they can be where someone is clapping, they can be where a body falls from a building onto the sidewalk... Anything that helps you sync the sound with picture.

Photo Stream-How to sync videos

If Photo Stream doesn't support syncing videos how do I transfer my home videos now? I'm on a Dell Laptop. I used to use Nikon Transfer before I signed up for iCloud and started using Photo Stream. But now my iphone doesn't show up as a device in Nikon Transfer.

That is a problem with the Nikon Transfer app.

How to get video and audio while chatting with your PC friends.

Just download a program called ivisit.
http://www.ivisit.com/
Everything else I tried sucked. Nothing worked. Yahoo, MSN, AOL IM... they all crapped out. But ivisit rocked right out of the gate, and you can get it free.
WIth the lite version you get only one connection and it lasts for an hour. After the hour you lose video but audio and chat still works. You have to be disconnected fro the other user for a half hour for the video feed to work again.
But if your itching to connect to your family with your new iSight and all the other big name programs are disapointing you, then one hour is plenty of time.
ivisit saved my christmas.

I agree. iVisit was a lifesaver. I was regreting getting my iSight until I had a successful connection. It was truly a Macintosh program - easy to setup, intuitive, not too much tech stuff to resort to figure out how things work. I was unhappy with resolution, though. You have to pay to get good resolution.

How to sync movie to audio

Hello, I am looking for a step by step process to sync my original audio that I have created to a pre-existing movie track that I have imported into Garageband. I would then like to export (as a Quicktime file) just that 1 to 3 minute section. I know that I can do this in Logic Pro but can it also be done in GarageBand? This is all original material so I need to be able to adjust start and stop times and move my music around relative to the picture.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There should be a setting on the camera for the audio bitrate.
Quicktime 10 does not have a preference panel. Better to use Quicktime 7.
Also check you settings in Audio MIDI setup:
1. Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
2. Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
3. Quit Audio MIDI Setup.

How to sync video to iPhone

I have a video with extension .m4v which does not sync with my iphone. These are the properties of the video
MPEG-4 video file
128kbps
Low Complexity
Stereo
1572 kbps
480x360
H.264
I also have the same file in quicktime movie format. Even that file does not sync? I have specifically created this .m4v using itunes from a .mov file using "convert selection to apple tv". But, what ever I do, it does not sync with my iPhone. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to specifically export all my .mov files using "convert selection for ipod"?
I also tried the option "convert selection for ipod". This option does sync with my iPhone, but the video does not appear under Video. It does come under audio but not under video.
The first issue I need to resolve is how do I sync with iPhone.
The second issue I have is :
Is there a specific format that I can keep my movies, so that I can sync with both my apple tv, iphone and also play in itunes? I dont mind converting all my movies to one format, instead of retaining the movies in three different formats to play them on all three media.
-Nags

The data rate is too high -- 1500 is the max but 1000 is far safer (and most presets use under 1000).
Also, it sounds odd, but change the extension to MP4 when you convert it for iPod. Sometimes (maybe even a lot) the iPhone won't properly see an M4V extension as a movie. I know I have to convert all that I do with Handbrake to this extension.
I have both Apple TV and the iPhone and I use Handbrake for all my movie stuff. I convert using the iPhone preset but change the resolution to 640 (and turn autocrop on if I'm doing a widescreen movie). This plays perfectly on both the iPhone and Apple TV and, best of all, the quality is superb with small file sizes. I've run it on a 38inch TV and it looks to be as good or better than DVD in (it won't compare to HD but we're not talking HD here).
Even using the video cables (both composite and component) on the iPhone output the quality is terrific. I highly recommend this workflow.

How to sync video out of timeline?

I'm still learning and using FCP HD 4.5. The last time I used firewire to import a 2 minute video using capture now, it plays fine in the viewer, but after moving it to the timeline something goes wrong and it will not play back in the canvas in sync--the voice does not match the lip movement. Have I somehow messed up preferences or what? Thanks for any help.
Willus

Thanks for your suggestions. I do still have the material on tape--do you know how I can check to find out if the recorded audio was 32 khz/12? It seems I tried numerous times to try a new empty sequence to test, but will try again. The other possibility that occurred to me was that a few days before the problem, I did have the computer do quite a few updates that are sent automatically--but not for final cut pro.
I'll check the camera manual also to see if I can determine how to find the audio rate.
If you have any other thoughts or suggestions, I'd be most happy to try. I can also try another section of tape before this to see if it occurs then, too.
Again, thanks and let me know if there is someone I can call about this, too.
W.
