Imovie 11 audio sync problem

Greetings:
I am using iMovie 11 to stitch together my video podcast.
My problem is this: I use the camera import button to record intro/outro video of me chattting. When I play it back, the audio and video are out of sync. In fact, it looks as if there's latency during recording.
Is there a way that I can fix this? It can get a little bit disorienting for viewers. I'd appreciate any assistance; thanks!

Hi
And Your project is in NTSC (29.97 fps) or PAL (25fps)
Your Camera records in
p24, i25, p25, i50, p50, i30, p30, i60 or p60 ?
or if miniDV also in 12-bit audio or 16-bit audio ?
What Camera (brand and type) are You using ?
How is it set to record ?
Yours Bengt W

The project label now carries signal with yellow triangled exclamation “i tunes out of date”.
    To solve the sync problem I’m following advice and detaching sound from all of the 100 or so short clips.  This operation has been stalled by the spinning ball. Shut down restart has not helped.
    The Project is mounted from Iomega and superspeed ext hd connected to imovie09 on macosx 10.5.8.
    What to do to resume repairs to the audio sync problem and so successfully share for youtube upload?

  • Major "BUG" in Imovie 9 - Audio Sync Problem on Export  !

    Well I'm a hard-core Apple user from day one, but unfortunately today I'm not to proud about the latest version of Imovie 9.
    It seems there has been a "MAJOR audio sync problem on export" in Imovie 9, since July 2009. Apple knows about this bug for a long time now, but didn't release any bugfix yet!
    Here's what it's all about:
    It seems if you use the (custom /manual) speed-adjustments and not the preset slider speeds, you will experience (after exporting your movie) annoying bursts of audio from clips that had been set to mude. The strange thing is that you will only experience this audio-bug after exporting, you will NOT experience it in the project playback mode!
    Here's what you can do:
    Find ALL the clips in your Project that are Speed Adjusted.
    Instead of using a "Custom Speed" percentage, use any of the "Preset Speeds"
    Preset Speeds on the Slider = 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400%, 800%
    Then, export your project as usual.
    No more sync issues.
    Really hope That Apple will come up with a real BUGFIX soon.
    It's a shame that a major bug in a otherwise GREAT PRODUCT, hasen't been fixed yet!
    What's wrong with Apple?...this is not one of their finest hours.
    Still A BIG fan from Imovie HD,...I'll chance to Imovie 9 when the bugs are finaly fixed!

    This is TERRIBLE! I have spent so much time working on this project, and I really don't want to adjust the speed settings to the preset levels, BECAUSE I need to motion of the video to match certain musical points. I can't re-film my video, and I needed this project done TODAY. I made a music video with some kids at summer camp, and today is the last day- the day we were supposed to all watch it together, and now, I've got NOTHING!!!! (Because I can't export it without all those glitches!)
    I am MAJORLY DISAPPOINTED on this one. I've made movies in windows movie maker before, and purposely used imovie, because you know, everything on macs is supposed to be better. Well, I guess I was wrong.

  • Audio sync problem with videos imported from iPod Touch

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation that I used to shoot video at a family birthday party. When I imported the footage into iMovie '11, the audio is not in sync with the video (video is about two seconds behind audio) and there is only the left channel of audio. I verified that the video on the iPod plays just fine--no audio sync problem, both left and right channels work. I just upgraded to iOS 5 on the iPod Touch. The iMac is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    As a workaround, I can import the video into iPhoto instead. When I play the video in iPhoto, there are no audio sync problems and both channels of audio can be heard. I have imported other iPod Touch videos successfully into iMovie '11 in the past few months, but this has been the first time these problems have occurred. Any help would be appreciated.

    Premiere cannot handle clips with variable framerate.
    Your converted clips need to have constant framerate.
    Otherwise use a converter like Handbrake.

  • Premiere CS4 - Audio sync problems, Encoding Problems

    Hi,
    I've been using Premiere CS3 for encoding 20-25 minute videos to deploy on a Flash Media Streaming server.
    Today I upgraded to CS4 and everything that I render to FLV/FV4, H264 or Quicktime format has serious audio sync problems when I use AAC as the audio codec. Unfortunately for me, AAC is the codec that I need to use for the streaming server. The audio is synchronized to begin with, but it gets progressively unsynched as the video progresses.
    Has anyone else had this problem? I'm using bitrates of 256 kbps, 512kbps for the video and 24 kbps / 32 kbps for the audio.
    Another thing that I've noticed is that many of the options that I used when encoding videos are no longer available!! For instance, I cannot generate hinting tracks for Quicktime, and most of the audio frequencies are gone for Quicktime as well.
    What a disappointment:(
    -Chris

    Seems to be an on going issue with no response from Adobe.  Have the same issue with the audio running ahead of the video.  (Cool if this was an old Japanese monster video).
    Running CS4 PP & AME all updates are current.  Nvida Quardro CX (current drivers 4.20.006) used several formats (Elemental h.264 to MPEG-2) same issue.

  • Audio sync problem after scrubbing

    I'm trying to piece together some clips from a TV series called Legend of the Seeker. I'm using Premiere CS4 4.0.1, Vista Ultimate 64-bit.
    Placing the hour-long video in the Source Editor allows me to play the video fine from beginning to end, but if I start scrubbing through the file, the audio unsyncs itself immediately.
    Here's a screenshot of the video in GSpot:
    http://img14.imageshack.us/my.php?image=premieresync.jpg
    Setting IN and OUT points and then dragging a very small clip into the timeline has the same result.
    Any ideas would be very appreciated.

    You are actually pretty lucky to just have Audio sync problems, though I do not know why scrubbing would make any difference. With both Xvid and DivX one more often gets no Audio, or no Video.
    Agree 100% on the 3rd party conversion, prior to Import into PrPro.

  • CS4 audio sync problems

    Hi all,
    sorry if this question is old hat - I've searched the forums and can't seem to get a clear answer (most refer to CS3 and before) so thought I'd ask anew.
    My preview in Premiere CS4 is fine, as is the preview in Encore CS4. The video was captured from four tapes (HD as mpeg and SD as Matrox AVI) in Premiere. The final DVD (10 minutes) consists of 21 clips. All but one are OK - this one has the voices well out of sync with the video, even though other clips taken from the same tape are fine.
    I also had a major problem recently with an MP4 from youtube, which I guess is the same issue - everything else was fine, but this one clip was well out.
    I'm guessing by now this is an old problem. What's the solution, please?
    Thanks
    Paul.

    Newbie to Adobe here ...
    Okay,  so after spending over 14 hours trying to fix the audio sync problem I fixed mine. After editing my project I selected Sequence > Sequence Settings > Playback Settings > under Realtime Playback make sure the "Desktop Video Display During Playback" box is selected. Next, in "External Device" change the setting from "None" to your next option. Mine reads DV: 29.97 720 X 480i. Next, Under "Export" section in that same window select the in "External Device" select the DV option again. Also, you might want to "Disable video output when in background" ...select that box at the bottom of the screen.
    Now, try recording the video to the tape ....my audio now sync's as normal. I hope it works for you.\
    One more thing ... you can keep the "Desktop Audio" button selected.

  • Audio sync problem downloading VHS-C

    I've downloaded a straight VHS tape (with no audio sync problems) into final cut pro once I had changed the Camera setting to 32Khz and the capture and sequeence presets to 32khz as well (it was all aout of sync when the settings were 48Khz).
    The problem now, which is driving me MAD, is I have 13 hours of VHS-C tapes, which I have put into a VHS cassette converter to download and the audio is out of sync. The capture presets are the same as above (i.e. 32KHZ) . Why is this? I downloaded them initially at 48Khz (settings on the camera 48Khz and FCP at 48Khz in capture and sequence settings), but this was also out of sync.
    Why is it different from one VHS tape to a VHS-C tape?
    I hope there is a God out there that can help with this one?
    Thanks!

    Eagleray:
    I capture through a ADVC-100.
    I use to find the same problem playing VHS tapes with a standard VHS player from time to time and never solved it. The out of sync audio appears when capturing some specific tapes from specific sources:
    - All my home tapes recorded in my old VHS recorder shows a audio problem; not specifically out of sync, but some audio "cracks" from time to time, like an electronic noise. No way to find a capture setings that works.
    - Some customers VHS tapes that showed the out of sync (no noises) and again, no combination of digitalizer settings made it works. Had to resync the audio editing and stretching in an external audio editor or cutting shorts parts and syncing them with video. The our of sync appears in small captured portions, like 10 min or so.
    - Never found a sync or audio problem capturing from VHC-C (the small VHS tapes) playing them with the tape adapter in the player.
    I google long hours about this problems and all that I learned is that some old VHS recorders had not a "synchro" signal in the tape.
    As I told you, I don't use any pro VHS deck, just my consumer "state of the art" VHS home recorder.
    I hope there is a God out there that can help with this one?
    I don't think HE visit these forums.

  • Audio sync problem - simultaneous HDMI and analog output

    I'm currently running my audio out through my Geforce 460 via HDMI to my A/V receiver. I have a simultaneous stereo analog output running through my ASUS Xonar D2, using Pulseaudio & Amarok as the player (VLC-gstreamer backend).
    I use the HDMI and A/V receiver to power my main stereo in my living room, but on occasion when I want music around the house, I use the analog line out to send audio to an FM transmitter.
    The problem is, I'm running into audio sync problems. The audio starts out synchronised (at least to the naked ear) but within 20-30 seconds it is noticeably out of sync, with the analog audio (form my FM radio) running around a half second ahead of the HDMI output (my main speakers).
    So - where to begin finding where the sync problem is? The receiver? Conversions between 44Khz and 48Khz?
    Any help much appreciated - google-foo hasn't turned up anything obvious so far.

    Yeah - that was my thought - a very difficult, and probably insoluble problem as it stands. I can't just mute one of the devices as that would defeat the purpose of having multi-room music! Fortunately it's not too noticeable usually, as you can't usually hear the main stereo and the FM radios at the same time, unless you're standing in the right part of the house
    The analog splitter cable not really a goer, since running clean, crisp multi-channel HDMI with pass through when needed is the essential goal of the HTPC. So unless I was to switch inputs and or unplug cables...
    What I will end out doing, in the absence of a software solution, is hooking the FM transmitter directly to my receiver. I was going to just use the headphone-out jack of the receiver to feed audio to the FM transmitter, but the stoopid receiver can't output audio to external speakers at the same time as the headphone is plugged. To overcome this, I'll probably run a headphone amp off the receiver's RCA outputs, into the FM transmitter. Like this one: http://headamp.com/portable_amps/ae2/, or this one: http://www.amazon.com/Rolls-HA43-Headph … B00102ZOQC

  • Audio Sync problem iTunes Festival

    Audio Sync problem when watching iTunes Festival on Apple TV3. Other video's work fine. Anyone else experiencing the same? Any solutions?

    Hi There,
    The same problem is happening with me as well. I keep getting the "analysing audio" message and my clips are 24 or 25 frames out of sync.
    I am currently working on a mixed format project - DVCAM and HDV capture into a DVCAM sequence. The DVCAM clips are causing the problem. The HDV clips are fine. I wondered whether it might be a mixed format issue - switching between capture codecs within the same project? Is that something either of you guys are doing? What camera was the footage recorded on. The pictures I'm struggling with were recorded on an Ikegami and I'm capturing from a sony deck.
    I have found an easy workaround. Put your entire out of sync clip into the timeline. Correct the sync then drag it back to your bin. You'll get two clips with the same name which is a tad confusing but the one you've dragged back will at least be in sync.
    I remember having this problem years ago without explanation. It hasn't then happened for years until now.....
    I'd be interested to know if you get to the bottom of it.
    Good luck,
    Richard

  • Audio Sync Problems With Share YouTube -- OSX not iOS

    I've replicated this several times. It's maddening and bizarre. *Share YouTube*
    Exporting a FCPX video using the "SHARE" menu and choosing YouTube causes the resulting upload to be out of sync when viewed in Safari or other browsers on iOS
    Viewing the same video on the iPad with the built in YouTube app, the video plays in sync
    Viewing the same video on AppleTV 2 (with the 5.1 update), the video plays in sync.
    If I export using Export Media menu item under the SHARE menu, and then from QuickTime Player choose Export For Web (under the File menu) and manually upload, the video is in sync.
    Note, that using
    Feel free to try on this short simple and silly video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGTQNMJdPRQ&list=UUiDxioBFJCPC-8OUFifsx8A&index=2 &feature=plcp
    Anyone else experience this. Is this a bug or a feature? Rather not go through three steps to upload a simple YouTube video.

    We've got the same problem and yep, it's infuriating that are so few posts about it.
    It doesn't happen with every video, but the vast majority of files that we've tried to either export directly to YouTube from QTX or export locally and then manually upload to YouTube end up with shockingly bad audio sync (and also some colour issues, but that's another story).
    As a small video production company we were chuffed to bits with the improved export speed in QTX and quick to make use of it. But when we realised there was a problem, we had to revert back to using QT7's painfully slow export.
    We've run experiments on a brand new iMac and MacBook Pro running the most up-to-date version of OS X and still no joy. Always the same audio sync problems with the same video files.
    In the meantime however,  we've found that the settings advised on this YouTube help page have given us the best (albeit slow) results at both 25fps and 30fps when exporting from QT7:

  • FCP:  AUDIO SYNC PROBLEM

    i have audio sync problem -- of the finished product which didn't have that problem before. does anyone know how this could have happened? in my earlier posting, there was a warning window which i played around w/ and now i have an audio sync problem in my prior projects.
    please help me.

    The Reels, are indeed the 5 surround channels. I have a feature that is broken up into 8-10 minute sections. I did this because the composer was using a G3 at the time and couldn't handle the whole movie at once. They are 16bit 48khz aif files exported from ProTools. The biggest thing here, is that at one point everything was in sync. I am trashing the preference files now to see how that works.
    It's not a playback issue as well. When i scrub one frame at a time, the sync has drifted off later in the clip. It's very strange.
    In my previous post I said the one of the Reels was in sync. That was because I recreated it, by making a new project and copying the video from the timeline, and re-importing the 5 audio streams. It didn't work for any other reels though. it is still out of sync in the main project.
    Trashing prefs did not work.
    Also, I tried a lot of the things in that technical doc, but non of them worked including trashing prefs.
    The real weird part is that the Audio file SAYS it is the same length of the video, but the audio ends later. It's in sync in the beginning but not at the end.

  • TS1363 Audio Sync problem - Audio is late, after a scene people are talking and audio does not relates

    All the TV shows purchased and downloaded have AUDIO SYNC problem.  This does not happens with any other video I watch from other sites, i.e. ABC, NBC, Showtime, all which I watch with no audio problem.
    The audio is always late, people are talking and scenes change and the audio belongs to the past!  Please help me to solve this!

    hi vcp
    welcome to the forum, glad you made the switch ... you won't be sorry (although you might be wondering at the moment!)
    1. nothing wring with that
    2. no
    3. just don't install 3rd party crap you don't need ... and don't install any anti-vrus software
    4. no special settings required
    what camera did you capture from? did you capture with FCP?
    cheers

  • Audio sync problem as soon as iMovie splits single DV into multiple MOV

    The original DV has perfect audio sync. When I split a clip (e.g. delete some frames), iMovie splits the files and changes to .MOV. The audio is now out of sync.

  • Audio Sync Problem in iDVD slideshow

    I created a slideshow in iPhoto, Version 7.1.5 and transfered it to iDVD. The slideshow contains photos and videos taken with my camera. The videos open in QuickTime, Version 7.6.2, and play with audio. The slideshow plays in iDVD without any problems. I burned a DVD and played it on our TV. The slideshow plays as it did in iDVD with one exception---the audio with the videos plays either prior or after the videos appear in the slideshow. The audio appears to be as recorded by the camera, only the sync with the video clip is off. The slideshow contains 417 slides and 12 video clips.
    I created a second "trial" slideshow with a few photos and video clips. This DVD slideshow played as expected in iDVD and on our TV. So I'm suspecting the number of slides is at the source of the problem. When I finalize the slideshow it would contain about 1/2 the number of slides with about the same number of video clips.
    Any suggestions on achieving audio sync with the video clips would be greatly appreciated.
    Royal

    Hi Royal
    To answer your question directly, the DVD standard is 99 chapters. iDVD works around this limitation by resetting chapter 100 and starting over at 1 again.
    You can always create your slideshow in iPhoto, iMovie or a 3rd party slideshow app like PhotoPresenter, Fotomagico, etc. or save it as a QT movie file and add the movie file to an iDVD slideshow.
    Here's a good link that OT has set up as a good example while using PhotoPresenter:
    http://web.me.com/toad.hall/Demo3/PhotoPresenterThemes.html
    Like I mentioned above, there are a number of third party apps that work just as well if you search this forum for additional examples.
    Hope this helps but if not jusrt come on back.
