IMovie 9 video syncing problem...

I just started my first editing project on iMovie 9. When I imported the footage, the video seem to be in a fast forward mode but the audio was normal. How do I slow down the video to match the audio?

Hi
You need to supply more info - for us to be able to make an intelligent guess.
• HOW was the original material recorded ?
• In What Video-Codec ? (.mp4, .mov etc are NO Codecs but Containers (sort of folders) - so open in QuickTime-player and Open Inspector and read the Codec. Video format (Codec) : nnnnnnn
• Frames per second
• AUDIO IN What Quality ? 12-bit 32kHz (many Cameras are set to this from Factory) or 16-bit 48kHz
A very wild Guess - is that Your Material and the Movie Project You create in iMovie - do not match - and if so You need to convert it so it matches.
Yours - trying - Bengt W

'Source play' and 'audio-video sync' problems with PE8 on fast WIN7 64 bit computer

I am transferring Hi8 videos, about 2 hours long, to my WIN7 64 bit computer with PE8. [Dell Mobile Precision M4400 Computer Workstation (Intel Core 2 Duo T9900 500GB/4GB); NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M, 512MB] I seem to have several problems:
First, after importing the file (.avi), I get a message about ‘dropped frames.’
Secondly, when I try to play the video in the source monitor, the audio plays but the video doesn’t; it only shows the first frame [this is after waiting until the video is ?recognized? ] I can use the shift-arrow key and see that the video is there.
Thirdly, I can play the .avi file in other players, e.g., avidemux or PE pro CS5 on another computer. There, I see that the audio and video are not in sync; the audio can be up to 300 ms ahead of the video (as determined using avidemux).
Questions:
1. Why doesn’t the source monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3 March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

"I think you're telling me you're using a backwards compatible Digital8 camcorder to capture your video as DV-AVIs. Is that right?" YES
"Are you using Premiere Elements to do this capturing?" YES, AS ABOVE PE8
"Go to the File menu and select Properties. It should show a standard DV codec being used for your video and audio."
WMP v12 is dumb. Under properties, media, it says 'video.' However, avidemux gave me the information state above: video -- Codec 4CC: dvsd, frame rate: 29.971 fps; audio -- codec: PCM, channels: Stereo, frequency: 48 kHz.
So, back to the Questions:
1. Why doesn’t the source monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3 March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

Old IMac 17'' video sync problem at boot

Hi,
A friend has brought his IMac 17'', which has a video sync problem. At boot, all screen lines are out of sync, but I can more or less recognize the apple logo, which disappears later. Something happens at least, there is a boot processing going on I think.
I tried to reset the parameter ram, it does not help.
I have heard of a power supply problem that can cause that problem. Is that right? The computer serial is: W8446APAPP7.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Philippe

Here's a simple test case I've made, it's just a bunch of lines drawn in an orthographic OpenGL view. When you scroll horizontially with scrollbars or by space+dragging, the effect is very noticeble.
The .app and source are available here:

I believe this is the same problem as with the Apple homepage Flash thing. It's not just a problem with Flash.

Video Sync Problems in iTunes 11.1/ios 7

I have recently upgraded to ios 7 for my iPad and iPhone, and iTunes 11.1. I added two new videos to iTunes (.m4v format) and now when I try to sync with my iPad it seems to hang forever on "Waiting for changes to be applied" and then gives me an error message that the videos are not of a format that can be played on the iPad. This is odd since I already have .m4v videos on my iPad that play just fine. Moreover, I deselected some videos and they do not delete from my iPad as well. Is anyone else encountering this? I have seen some posting regarding music files and playlists not syncing, but nothing about movie files.

I've had video syncing problems (not with music though) when I updated my iPhone 4s to the new IOS 7, but I finally figured it out. What I did was I plugged my 4s in to my computer (Windows 7, 64-bit), then opened iTune (11.1.3.8), clicked on my iPhone tab on the upper right, under "Summary" put a 'check' in the Manually sync music & videos.
Looking at the picture above, notice the: Movies, Music Videos, and Home Videos; are now available. Before this method, these three wasn't there. These are all in the original Videos app for the iPhone. I hope this help you guys too.

If GPU acceleration is checked, uncheck it and see if that helps.

Could you give us a Mediainfo or Gspot screen shot of what's in the AVI wrapper?

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.

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!
Velanche

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

IMovie 2 video playback problem

I am currently managing Apple eMacs at my school and recently we've had problems with iMovie 2. It seems the problem is that we cannot playback video unless it is a specified clip. This also means we cannot export video to camcorders to present on television. Can anyone help me with this problem. You input will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, sorry for the delay. There aren't any error messages, the video just won't play on the camera. I've been using Final Cut Pro and iMovie for years and have never come across this problem before. What happens is when I try to playback the video in iMovie 2, the video doesn't play. So when I try to export to camera, everything else works.
I manage the media arts computers at my school, so this is the major problem. I am planning to upgrade all our eMacs to OS X once we have sufficient funds. Until then we must still work with iMovie 2. So if anyone could possibly come up with any ideas to help or know what's going on. There input would be great.

Video Syncing Problems

Hello,
Recently I have been trying to sync a 30 MB video file in MP4 format to my 8 GB iPod Touch first generation. I have nearly 6 GB of space on my MacBook and nearly 5 GB of space on my device.
Here's my problem: I open up iTunes, attach my device to the computer, and check the box of the video so it should sync. I click Apply. Immediately after, a message pops up and says, "There is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the selected playlists (27.09 GB required, 4.97 GB available) ".
My analysis of this message: It says I have 4.90 GB of space left on my device, but it's close enough to mean they could be talking about my device when they say what's available. What confuses is me is why 27 GB needs to be required when I have less than 8 GB possible on my device. Even if they were talking about the computer, why would I need 27 GB to transfer a 30 MB file?
I have tried using QuickTime to export my video again. I have tried to import to library. Nothing works. In fact, if I try and import just a playlist of songs the same message pops up. And same message pops up for photos.
What's going on? How can I fix this problem? I'm on a time deadline, so please respond ASAP!
Thanks!

Woops - manually manage box wasn't checked. Sorry, it's fixed now.

Transitions cause audio/ video sync problem

Lets see if I can explain this one. Its certainly an odd problem.
I have an iMovie project, with around a couple hundred photos in it, and some short video clips. Im putting transitions in between everything.
At some point I noticed that, sometimes, I'll add a transition after a video clip, and then the last few seconds still have my audio from that clip but the video changes to a photo 2 photos later in the time line. Then it changes to the next photo after the clip.
Im using the latest iMovie HD, and Quicktime Pro 7.5.5, and Mac OS X 10.5.4.

Hi
I do like this:
• Select the video-clip
• goto Advance menu - select extract audio
• now apply transition
• adjust audio clip

Audio/video sync problem

I use a standalone home-theater type dvd recorder to make recordings. I don't know too much about the video editing world yet, I only know how to do what I need to do.
I had some problems opening my dvd files with PE7, so as per advice I received in these forums this is my process:
I copy the vob files to the hard drive, use a batch file to join them together, use streamclip to convert to avi format that PE7 reads. From there I do my PE7 editing. This has always worked well, until today the original recording was done a little different.
Usually, I have 1 recording session. Hit record, hit stop, finalize, done. But today, I made a mistake and hit stop too soon, so I started recording a 2nd session. I don't see why this should be a problem, but this is the only thing different that's happened today.
So this is what it's doing in PE7 now. The video from the 1st recording session is fine, once I get to the portion of the video that's part of the 2nd recording session, the audio continues normally but the video is moving very fast. Later on in the video, the video part resumes moving normally, but is of course playing at the wrong place so the sync is still out.
The original dvd plays fine, it's only on the computer this is happening. What can I do?
thanks

Also, how do I fix this capture to make it right? The dvd I'm ripping from is good, but why is my ripping process not working as it always does? thanks
Unfortunately, I do not know the programs, or the processes that you used to rip the DVD.
My strongest recommendation would be to use a bridge device, to do the capture from the DVD player. I use a Turtle Beach, but would recommend the Canopus/Grass Valley. The biggest problem with going from a DVD to an editable file and then probably back to an edited DVD is that you end up with two MPEG-2 conversions. The quality hit is major, IMO.
Here is a ripping workflow, that might yield in-sync files, though dealing with MPEG-2 files often yields OOS issues.
As for the OOS issues, when you have a dynamic OOS, you will need to repeat the process on smaller pieces of the movie. The Scissors/Razor tool will be used, and you will need to cut your Clips and adjust the OOS for the "pieces." Obviously, a constant OOS is easier, as you make one adjustment that works for the whole Timeline. With dynamic/drifting OOS, you must do this incrementally.
As MPEG-2 files often yield a myriad OOS issues, I refrain from using them and will convert all to DV-AVI Type II w/ 16-bit 48KHz PCM/WAV, prior to Import. I hate doing extra work and dynamic/drifting OOS is a lot of work.
If at all possible, I would keep DVD (and MPEG-2 files) out of the workflow, until you go to Burn the final delivery DVD-Video, but that is just me.
Good luck,
Hunt

Audio and video sync problem Cs4

Hello!
For the latest 5-6 years i had the same problem.
Video and audio goes out of sync if I capture more then about 10 minutes. The same if I export more then about 10 minutes.
It doesen´t matter what camera I use.
We have 3 different ones
Sony Hvr-A1e, Trv950 E, Pdx 10p
It doesen´t matter what computer I use. Right now we use imac 2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. I have tried with PC the same problem.
We always upgrade the Premiere program.
It doesen´t matter if I record Dv Sp or HDV. The same problem.
The process looks normaly like this.
Record in Dv SP Ns48k or HDV1080i
Sequence Presets
Dv PAL Widescreen 48khz
or
HDV 1080i25 (50i)
What makes it even more confusing is that sometimes we capture 30 min in premiere and then when you play it in VLC it is not out of sync but it is in premiere???
I have seen Threads about this but no solution.
Everything works fine if we record shortclips and export less then 10minutes but when we try with longer projects 30 minutes or longer it have NEVER worked. That is the most strange thing. If it works with short projects It can´t be my settings that are wrong or???
Sorry for my terrible English

Unfortunatly I can´t find this program for mac but maybe there are something similiar "out there".
Strange that Adobe can´t fix this???
Thank you anyway! :-)

Video Sync Problem after 3.2.2

I just updated to 3.2.2 and I am having problems with videos and syncing videos. Videos that I have taken off still show on the ipad, others videos have lost their preview picture on the ipad and actually show a shot from a video that was removed or shows a white image of a monitor. Videos that were once on it won't sync to the ipad. Also when I touch videos I first see a screen that says updating library then it goes to the movies/tv shows screen.
I will call support in the morning but is anyone else having a problem?
thanks

No issues here.
Have you turned it off, then back on again?

Audio and video sync problem using itunes player

When I play a movie using itunes it starts out okay but after a few minutes the audio and the video are no longer in sync. Anyone have a solution for this problem
Dennis

I have the same problem.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA785GPMT-UD2H
Chipset:
North Bridge: AMD 785G
South Bridge: AMD SB710
Video: Integrated ATI Radeon HD 4200
HDMI Audio through the HDMI out port to one of the TV HDMI in port.
Tried on Windows 7 Pro 32bit and Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit.
Tried with the integrated ALC889A audio device enabled and disabled (It seems that the video card drives the HDMI audio device, because it still appears in Windows even if I disable the Audio device in BIOS).
Latest iTunes and drivers installed.
Apple, any suggestions? I'm not having a great customer experience after buying a pair of HD movies in iTunes.

Video sync problem with nvidia quadro fx cards, edge blending on.

when I start edge blending feature of my nvidia quadro fx 3500 driver on 2 projectors, quicktime goes out of synchronization between audio and display. it's not directly related with framerate cuz my own opengl application with quicktime sdk, renders with 300+ fps succesfully but still the video is out of sync...

Hi there, welcome to forum.
"*Update*
I have a feeling that my PSU might be causing the low performance, seeing that the Quadro requires two power connectors to attach to it: (http://www.pny.com/support/quadro/install/FX4000AdditionalPowerRequirements.pdf)
Here is my PSU:
http://www.xpcgear.com/500wseepsubl.html
I do not know much about PSU's, so any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks."
your PSU is good one and should be powerfull enough.
Output +3.3V@28A, +5V@30A, +12V@34A, [email protected], [email protected], +5VSB@2A
can't be power related, since at 1st your PSU must be enough, 2nd same issue happend with your old mx 440 VGA. card malfunction are dismissed as possibility as well since its work fine in another machine.
think its drivers mess. ATI drivers(or part of them) still exist, guess is not completely removed. same symptoms happend many times when switching between Ati to NV, lagging 2D scrolling lag and etc, caused by ATI Smart (part of ATI Drivers) sometimes remain(survive after driver cleaner).
suggest you a new clean fresh OS installation. like Nv support already directed. also ensure in BIOS, in "Integrated Peripherals", "Init Display First" are configured to AGP.
let we know how its going, if problem persist we a ready with a tips to resolve your issue.
