Importing 24p audio falls out of synch

Hello,
I was just capturing two tapes of a musc video, using a panasonic GS500 to import, shot in 24p on a DVX100, and captured on the standard DV NTSC 48 kHz preset. When I watched my clips afterwards, I found that the audio falls out of synch in the longer clips. I don't understand why this has happened, because I thought the 24p was still recorded on the tape as DV NTSC but with a 3:2 pulldown effect on it. My question is how can I fix this importing problem so it doesn't fall out of synch again when I re-import?
Thank You,
Kyle

This can happen with long captures. Better Camera/deck seems to be key here.
For now, you could select the clips that drift and do a 'File'/Export as AIFF...48khz/16bit. Then re-link/replace the new audio with the original video files.
Recapturing in shorter clip length may avoid funky Aud Rates. Either way, you'll likely need to create new multi-clips and edit with those.
Within current multi-clip sequences, you can control-shift/drag left or right on an angle in the viewer to bring the sync back in line. This should only affect the angle/clip following a cut, and not the sync prior to a cut.
If you've already made many cuts througout the timeline, you could use the 'slip' tool on out of sync clips after you've collapsed the multiclip.
Hope that helps,
Kevan

    Many thanks

    Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
    Keep copies of the originals.
    Another option might be to try to install Perian.  Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

  • Audio & Video Out Of Synch after Editing

    I edited a clip, and the audio went out of synch with the video. What did I do wrong? How do I fix it?
    Kate

    Kate,
    Tell us more about this Clip. What format is it in? Be as specific as possible. AVI doesn't tell us enough. What CODEC is inside? G-Spot is a great freeware program for giving you that info www.headbands.com/gspot
    How does it go out of sync, i.e. drifts from beginning until it's way out at the end, or starts out of sync in the beginning?
    There are likely workarounds for getting it back into sync, but those methods will depend on your answers.
    Good luck,

  • Video Falling Out of Synch During Import?

    I am importing some video w/ linked audio into iMOvie--the tape appears to be fine, the audio is in synch with the video there. When I complete the import and then play the clip, the video does not appear for a few seconds, but the audio is present. So by the time the video does appear, it is horribly out of synch. How do I fix this? What could cause this to happen in the first place?

    Hi
    Most common origin to this is.
    • Camera set on 12-bit audio
    • Camera re-set after battery change (to 12-bit audio)
    Go into the menu on/of the Camera and select 16-bit audio
    • Camera recorded in LP-mode (90 min on a 60min tape) - AVOID THIS - A real trouble maker ! ! !
    Set Camera into SP-mode (60 min on a 60min tape)
    Your old movie
    Set iMovie to import as one large clip - Not as individual clips (in iMovie pref)
    • Now import Your material to TimeLine
    • DIRECTLY after this select the video-clip
    • goto Advanced menu and down to Extract audio
    This might work and keep in sync.

  • PE3 - Audio & Video out of synch on imported VOB files

    I have tried adding some footage imported from DVD & is saved in a folder on the PC (by the PE process).
    The file is stored as VOB 1 & VOB 2. When I import this file into the PE project the first half plays OK. When it plays onto the second file, the audio is lagging behind the video by a considerable amount.
    If I view the file separately (where it is stored) with Windows Media Player, it plays back fine.
    When I view the file in PE in the preview window, the out of synch fault occurs.
    Something is happening in the import process to the PE project.
    Anyone, have any ideas on the problem?

    Here is a reply that I posted to a past thread that will give you options for fixing the Out-of-Sync issues when trying to use VOB files within PE.
    In all cases it is better to not import VOB directly to PE, but convert to DV-AVI via one of these methods and then use the AVI format.
    The last bullet below sends you to a Muvipix link describing how to combine multiple VOB's from one disc to a single file, this will cure the Sync problem, then convert this file to DV-AVI for import to PE:
    I take the min-DVD directly from camcorder to my PC, and capture the disk via Power Director.
    PD will convert the VOB's directly to DV-AVI Type 2 on one pass.
    I then load this DV-AVI into PE7.
    (PD v7 was pre-installed on my new PC from HP, or it can be purchased from Cyberlink).
    Other options to try:
    Copy the VOB's directly from the mini-DVD to your PC and use Prism to convert these to AVI.
    Prism is a free convert utility and can be found here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0
    Or load the VOB or Mpeg into PE, then use that to convert to AVI.
    (Export to DV-AVI with PE8 is done with SHARE/PC, not Export under the File Menu, which is greyed out).
    I've had many issues trying to work with Mpeg's and VOB's when loaded directly to PE with limited success.
    So if you can get it converted successfully to AVI outside of PE, I've found this to be a better approach.
    Post results, if any of this works for you...
    Note: One other thing, if you are working directly with VOB's to PE, especially multiple VOB's from a single DVD, you can encounter out-of-sync issues between video and audio. If this occurs, review this link from Muvipix:

  • Audio falling out of Sync after importing into PP

    Hello there,
    I'm relatively new to this, so please when you're helping me, dummy it down as much as you possibly can.
    I've been using Xsplit to record games while I play. I recorded a ~2 hour video and toward the beginning of the video  it seems to be pretty a-okay but later in the video when I play it in premier pro, the audio starts falling out of sync.
    I have no idea why it does this or what to do. When I play the original raw video the audio and video are both on time.
    After googling this issue for about 40 minutes (and i'm not 100% sure what this means but I have a general idea) I read somewhere that the reason why the audio was out of sync was because xsplit uses a "variable framerate".
    Not sure if this is true or not, but regardless, I tried exporting numerous times and the audio STILL falls out of whack.
    I looked on xsplit and there was a setting that i could enable to force constant frame rate.... is this a solution to that problem?
    Please, help me.
    Thank you.

    If your current video file DOES use a Variable Frame Rate, it will not edit properly in any version of Premiere
    Force your software to create a Constant Frame Rate file and try again

  • Final cut pro - editing music video audio falls out of sync

    filmed with canon 7D- i play the music in the background for th artist to perform. upon loading up the footage into final cut, i sync the start of the video audio with the record, as they both play it falls out of sync. i did not have this problem when i edited with premiere. any ideas

    Sync issues are *usually* going to be mismatched sample rates, for instance, you imported 44.1kHz audio into a 48kHz project.
    This happened to me awhile back, and unfortunately, I don't remember exactly what I did to fix it. But what I *think* I did was click on the imported audio and went to the Retime menu and selected Conform Speed. If that doesn't work, right click on the audio in the event browser and select Transcode (if there's an option to do so in the dialog).
    It is also possible to manually resync audio by Retiming it. Turn on snapping (N), select the clip, type Command-R and drag the audio clip's retiming handle until the end of the audio snaps with the end of the video clip (this is actually amazingly accurate.) [If your recorded audio is not the same length of the audio on the video, then set markers on the video and audio tracks and retime until the markers snap.] You should do this before any other edits.

  • Video and audio fall out of sync in Captivate 6

    I made a great little video demo in which I added audio while I recorded it in Captivate 6. However when I play it back the audio and video fall out of sync. How can I fix my problem and how can I prevent it from happening again?
    JJ

    Douglas, I found that even the SWF files have started to get out of synch as well (although not as badly as the MP4), so with Adobe's blessing, I installed Captivate 7 on my 2009 model MacBook Pro (with Windows 7 running in Bootcamp) and now when I publish both SWF and MP4 projects, they are in perfect synch. 
    The strange thing is that my MacBook Pro probably has less grunt than my work PC (Dell Lattitude) and I would also have thought that running in a Bootcamp based Windows 7, that would detract even further from Captivate's performance. 
    I am happy that this solves the synch issue, I am not happy that I must continually move projects between my office PC and my home based MacBook Pro in order to do this and I am still none the wiser as to what is actually causing the problem; although I do wonder whether it is in some way related to the reporting to base issue that was causing Captivate 7 to go into a not responding state every few minutes (that was resolved with a patch provided by Adobe support)..

  • Audio falls out of sync with FCP sequence after export from STP

    Hey all,
    editing sound on a short film. sent FCP sequence to sweeten the dialog and add effects, according to the timeline it is the same length as sequence length in
    FCP, but when exporting from STP to FCP to complete movie, the sound ends up being about 10 frames longer than the video and starts in sync and falls out of sync over the duration of the film.
    Have tried changing preference settings in STP, exported about 5 ways to breakfast and all have same result.
    Anyone have a solution to this problem?
    Much thanks,
    Holly

    I just experienced this same thing, and as Christof says, it had to do with 'Easy Setup' and 'all formats'. I've been editing a picture shot on RED in Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) at 2K (2048 x 1152) and 24fps...FCS 3 (FCP 7 latest version). Whenever you trash preferences or start up FCP new, you get the 'easy setup' menu. Previously, I could just hit 'okay' and go ahead into FCP and change the settings/resolutions within the project...even if the 'easy setup' default was, say, DV/NTSC 29.97. Also, when opening up an active project after trashing prefs, the project itself would still have the same editing/playback settings/resolutions, even if the 'easy setup' window had its default DV/NTSC setting. Plus, if you create a new timeline and its default is one format, once you drop a different format into it, it asks you if it should adjust to that format anyway, and of course, you say yes and everything is fine.
    Well....in this most recent FCP update, whenever I'd export an AIFF from the timeline and reimport....or if I'd just import an AIFF...it would do something to the playback rate of that newly imported/reimported sound file and suddenly its sync has drifted all over the place within just a minute or so. But strangely, it wouldn't do it to audio that's attached to picture (.mov/MP4/etc.)....only isolated audio files (AIFF/WAV). So naturally, I wondered if something was going on during the export process or the like.
    The solution is to make sure that when you open FCP (newly, or after trashing prefs), make sure you pick the settings/format/framerate in that 'Easy Setup' window that matches what you intend to edit as closely as possible. In my case, the format is Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), 2048 x 1152 @ 24fps, and I use a Blackmagic Multibridge so I have settings for it. Hence......*Format; HD, Frame Rate: 24, Use: Blackmagic HDTV 1080P 24 - 10 bit.* Whereas the default upon startup is....Format: (all formats), Frame Rate: 29.97, Use: DV/NTSC 48KHz.
    You can also set these in the 'Audio Video Settings' menu. Now, whenever I export and reimport an AIFF, or just import an AIFF (like the soundmix prepared by our sound designer), sync stays and there's no drift. So make sure you've picked the right settings when starting or reopening a project, again as Christof pointed out.

  • Simple AUDIO & VIDEO OUT OF SYNCH

    Lots of out of synch stuff out there, but all specialized.  Mine is SIMPLE.  COnnect a Canon Vixia HV40 HD DVD, do a capture, and audio and video are out of synch.  It starts fine, but as it goes it drifts away gradually.  I have NO IDEA what to do.  I am not an expert at this, just an ameteur who loves HD DVD.
    It happens upon capture - not when buring to Blu Ray, not when converting WMD files to Torpedo or artillery or atomic or U Tube files, or any other fancy stuff.  It's not my brand of BVlu Ray disks, it's not the label I stick on it. I don't do - don't even know how to do fancy editing.
    Just copy and burn is REALLY hard.
    Just seems so strange that basic capture is so damn difficult and should be so simple - audio just will not line up with video.
    HELP!!
    I have Win 7 64 Bit, al;l kinds of processor power, latest biggest hammer bought for video editing and gaming.  If you need specs I can send.

    First, a clarification... Capture is what you do via Firewire from a (usually, as far as I know) tape camera

  • When Viewing Adobe Connect Training, why are Audio/Video out of synch

    I am a new Captivate 5.5 user and I have been using the Adobe Connect Training material to come up to speed on the product. However, I have noticed that when viewing presentations in Connect, over time, the audio and video eventually are completely out of synch. What is being discussed (in the audio) has nothing to do with what is being shown on the screen. This happens on all Connect Training videos.  I have a high-speed Internet connection and I never have problems with streaming content from other sources such as YouTube, etc.  What am I doing wrong?

    Dang, though it was worth a shot.
    Now, one user here, Jim Simon, uses similar, and has worked out a percentage that he adjusts the remote mic's material to fit with his camera. Cannot recall exactly now, but it seems that he alters the Audio by a factor of about 104%. My memory is cloudy on the exact figure, and Jim seems to be on extended holiday. Not sure now, if he uses the Rate Stretch, or runs his mic's audio through Audition. Sorry that the memory is so fuzzy now.
    Good luck, and maybe Jim will show up with his exact figures, to give you a starting point.

  • QT exports but audio goes out of synch... Fixable?

    I'm exporting some rather large timelines to QuickTime from FCP 6 and all of the resulting QT files are losing audio synch. Actually the audio tracks are stretching, it seems: the audio tracks are LONGER than the corresponding video track, each time. Longer by 1 to 2 seconds.
    SOME FACTORS
    My files are around 25 minutes long.
    I'm preserving my current settings when exporting with QT.
    codec XDCAM EX 1080p24 35mbs VBR
    frame rate 23.98
    frame size 1920x1080
    48.0khz audio
    Is it simply that I shouldn't try to export files that are this big? I searched the existing archives. One person had the exact same problem, apparently, but there were no replies.
    Anyone know the situation here?
    Shanked

    Hey Venturesome,
    I've heard of things "floating" out of synch whenever you're exporting to QT with files of a particular length or longer. Back in the day, this magic file length was 5 minutes. I have no idea what the current magic maximum is... or if there even IS a maximum. If you've got synch issues inside your timeline without even exporting, I wonder if it may be you're using mixed media.
    But I defer to the forum at large on this -- anyone know why our audio and video tracks float out of synch upon exporting (or in this other case, non exporting)?

  • Audio falling out of sync during playback of videos

    I now have Windows 8 on a brand new laptop, and new TV dls fall out of sync between audio and video within minutes.  Skipping to the beginning and dragging back to my last place in the timeline corrects this for a minute or so, and then falls out of sync again. 
    Also, other new purchases skip/pause every few minutes.  I tested previous dls (that are still in the cloud) and had no playback problems.  I don't want to delete everything and redownload until I know for sure that is the solution.

  • Disk Image Audio Drifting Out of Synch

    Hello, I've searched and can't find a relevant audio synch thread, although I've read several in the past.
    My issue:
    I export from FCP a QT file that is perfectly in synch. However, once making a disk image in iDVD, it gets 1 or 2 frames out of synch towards the middle of a 75 min project.
    I've ensured that all chapter markers are at least 3 seconds from any transition or keyframe, etc. I also have fully rendered all video 100% and mixed-down all audio. I also preloaded the "text" track in QT to try and head off the synch issue. I am exporting a sequence that has several sequences nested-in from an older (much larger) file. I've further edited, requiring up to 6 audio tracks, but only 2 video tracks. But, again the QT file is perfectly in synch. It only happens when making a Disk Image.
    Why is iDVD disk image putting it out of synch? Any more thoughts, suggestions for settings in FCP, QT, or iDVD?

    There was a similar issue in an earlier version of compressor to DVD Studio Pro.
    You don't say which versions of softeare you are using but it might be related.
    The issue was that when a movie was compressed with aif audio as the chosen output this resulted in a loss of sync as time went by on the DVD.
    The problem was rectified in later versions of compressor and a workaround until the update was to select AC3 audio as the preferred compression method.
    It may be that iDVD uses AIF audio to construct the DVD and is the source of your problem.

  • Digital Copy audio is out of synch

    The audio on my digital copy movie starts ok but then becomes out of synch. I have to pause and restart to fix it.

    I don't think it's a DVDSP problem from your description. I wonder if it's a compressor problem since everything is in sync on your FCP timeline but the problem shows up on export after going through compressor. (1) What happens if you export your project as a QT file (not self contained) and let DVDSP do the encoding? If that fixes the problem, I'd conclude it is indeed a compressor problem and I'd check that forum to see if anybody else is having a similar problem. (2) If the problem still exists, then maybe the problem is actually back in FCP. If that's the case, I'd use FCP rescue (see that forum to obtain this handy utility), repair permissions, and then see what happens. By the way, I'd repair permissions in any event- you never know when that's going to work!
