Losing sync when exporting to tape

My audio is in sync on my timeline but the output drifts out of sync when printing to tape and when simply playing off the timeline to tape (both via firewire). In other words, my computer playback is dead on but my tape is dead wrong. My sequence and clips are 16bit and 48. The deck is set to record 16 bit. As far as I know the footage was captured at 16/48.
The video clips were drifting out of sync on my timeline but I exported it as a Quicktime and I pasted that into my timeline.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

1.If you have placed your audio on the timeline, make sure you put everything to stream.
export a large project
2.Make sure your computer has a lot of processing power: playing and recording at the same time requires a lot of RAM/CPU, look for idle processes and shut them down.
3.If nothing helps, record Audio/Video seperately and match them afterwards in AfterEffects/Premiere
4.Flash has a maximum amount of frames it can handle (16000 := 10 Minutes), if your project is getting near to that limit, try dividing your project.

  • Audio losing sync when exporting to .mov

    I've been using Flash for a while now, but I'm still very much inexperienced with exporting .mov files, and this is the first time I have tried to export a large project that contained audio. The problem is that the audio plays faster than the animation, and is very much out of sync by the end, with the audio playing several seconds before it is supposed to. I have tried every setting I can think to change, and tried rendering the same .swf file in After Effects. However, in After Effects, even when I make sure to have audio in the output, the rendered video had no sound. All sound on the timeline is set to stream and not event.
    Any help is appreciated. I honestly don't have much of a clue what I'm doing.

  • Audio and video do not sync when exporting

    the audio and video content do not sync when exporting to media browser or quicktime.. at times the audio is delayed, or ahead of the video

    Wow, I was just about to post something similar. I've tried 4 different times, wasted a few dvds, and tried various ways of outputting to solve this...nothing. Here's my situation;
    • I have a series of stills, with music underneath...kind of like a slide show.
    • That ends, both music and visual, and I go to a black screen/slug that is :22, to give some breathing room before the video that follows. Also, the audio track fades out at the end of the stills...it does not continue into the slug.
    • After the :22 of black, I fade into a video. HOWEVER, everytime I've done that, the AUDIO portion of that video is starting while there's still black on screen, then when the video comes in, it's way behind.
    I've adjust the audio to now end before the slug, thinking that was somehow making iMovie go wonky. Didn't work. I've wasted a few dvds before I got smart and started checking before burning. And still, everytime, that section is not syncing, but, i syncs in iMovie, where I made the video.
    This is HUGELY frustrating.

  • AUDIO PROBLEMS when exporting to tape

    Hi!
    ADOBE PRO CS4 on VISTA.
    a)  Produced my film on timeline and there everything is perfect. Audio and video are fully synchronised.
    However: when I export to tape, playing the exportresult, audio comes about 10 seconds later then the corresponding video! Already from the very first clip!
    I rerenderd audio and Work area a few times and also tried Clip -> Audio Options-> Render and Replace but nothing seems to work out.
    This is the second time I have this problem.
    b)  When there is no solution for this problem ( an awfull idea!!) I think I have to Unlink Video and Audio for all my clips (about a thousand of them) and then shift the audiopart about 10 seconds to the left.
    I found out that "group-unlink" with the help of the ALT knob (an advice I read about here) doesn't function with me !!
    Is there a solution for these problems? Thanks a lot!

  • Rate Stretch audio goes out of sync when exported.

    Audio, which is rate stretched using the rate stretch tool to 100.01%, plays fine in Premiere Pro CS6. However, when exported to Encore or to MPEG-2 file, the audio is no longer stretched and becomes out of sync by the end of the video. When I play the preview in Encore, the audio is out of sync. Switch back to Premiere, it is OK. Export a MPEG-2 file and author a DVD, the audio is out of sync. Go back to Premiere, it is OK. I record the audio using a TASCAM portable recorder. I have recorded and synched audio many times and this is the first time that it does not work, on two separate Premiere projects. Any ideas on how to fix this. Even better, is there a way to record audio so that it matches the video (from a Panasonic HD AVCHD camcorder) without requiring rate stretch adjustment?

    Try changing the speed with right click, Speed/Duration instead of using the Rate Stretch tool.

  • Audio/Video out of sync when exporting to MPEG4

    I am working on a project that is being edited on FCP 5.1.4
    Anyhow, there is problem when exporting to MPEG4- the audio/video is out of sync.
    Sequence settings show 29.97 editing base with 48 mhz sound, which is the same as the MPEG 4 settings, but they are not in sync. Anyone encounter this problem? I've never had this problem before previously.
    Thanks

    Hi Harm,
    last time you suggested the same but  I wouldn't know how to take the BM card out of the equation. I only have on station. If I export to Beta SP there is no problem.

  • Audio Sync when Exporting Using Compressor

    Hello!
    Having an odd situation. Project in FCP 4.5 the audio is sync'd just fine in FCP export using Compressor and the audio is delayed about 5 seconds...so the video footage starts and about 5 seconds later the audio starts. Now, in the same project I have other footage and exported the same exact way without issues - I have no idea why this particular footage would be an issue! Because Compressor is exporting these files with the audio and video as separate files I am seeing this issue when the file is in DVD Studio Pro - but again none of the other files that are being placed on this DVD are having audio alignment issues...so this is not making sense.
    I am not 'new' at this but I am no expert either - my main gig is audio - so I could really use some help.
    Any suggestions? I am not sure what other information someone would need to help so ask away.
    Thanks in advance!

    Well I REALLY need some help with this one! I have tried so many different 'work arounds' without success. As mentioned in my first post the audio is not sync'ing with the video when exported. I have tried Exporting the file in QuickTime, I have tried using Compressor again exporting just the video then the audio - pulling it into a new session and lining it up again but everytime I pull it the newly exported file into a new project and render it FCP crashes not allowing it to render (nice!). I actually started from square one capturing the video footage again and assemble the project again without luck. I simply cannot believe what a pain in the arse this is!! I need to get this project done and it simply won't do it.
    Where are my blood pressure pills????

  • Not rendering - Getting dropped frames when exporting to tape

    I am trying to export my project to Mini DV tape. I have been successful before, but am continually getting dropped frames. I noticed that the sections that are getting dropped frames are showing that it is not rendered (red bar). I have tried rendering them several times, but still show the red bar. I am using a PowerMac G5, Dual 2 GHZ processor with 3GB RAM. The footage is on a Lacie Firewire 800 external hardrive and there is almost 200 GB of free space. I do get occasional dropped frames, but not as often as I am now.

    Is there anything else I can do? When I get the Warning - Dropped frames, it suggests turning off "Unlimited RT", which I have and set to "Safe" because I was getting dropped frames. Will this affect the quality when exporting? I have set the Video Quality to "Dynamic" and Frame Rate "Full" and Record "Full Quality". Do any of these settings need to be changed? Lowering your compression data rate (I'm not sure what that is), Closing open sequences (which I've done), Lowering the preference for real-time audio tracks (how do I do that and again will it affect the quality?), Increasing the speed of your system and/or disk drives and/or network connection (Is there a way for me to do that?)

  • Why does my audio slip out of sync when exporting?

    I am exporting an HD edited video. I shot 1280x720 & editing in FCP 6.0.5. I am using APPLE PRO RES 422 1280x720 30fps 48kz . Should it be (HQ)?? - I do not select re-compress all frames or make self-contained. I just want a QT reference file to view and then burn a DVD. My clip is 43 minutes long. HOWEVER, the audio drifts out of sync BIG TIME. Why is that??
    Here are my sequence settings:
    1280x720 Aspect Ratio HDTV 720p (16:9)
    Square Pixels
    H.264
    Audio at 48kHz

    That's what I thought, however, when I play back the .mov file after exporting using "current settings", that's when I experience OUT OF SYNC audio. Do I ignore that and drag and drop that file into iDVD and let iDVD crunch it??? Is it just the playback of that .mov file that is out of sync?

  • Adio and Video not in sync when exporting QT Movie

    Hi guys,
    I'm having a very strange problem here. I'm using FCS2 and have edited a sequence in FCP using HD720p. In Final Cut Pro, everything is fine, I can play the sequence and the adio matches the video as expected.
    When I export the sequence to a QuickTime movie, the final movie has the adio way out of sync from the Video. I have searched through this boards and noticed some other users having the same problem, but couldn't find a solution for it.
    Does anyone know what would be the problem, and how I could solve this ?
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Stefaan

    Hi,
    Well, I could try, but I'm not 100% sure that this was the exact source of the problem.
    The source media where Screen Captures taken with iShowU, which I was going to use to create a video podcast with. The ScreenCast was recorded using the HDTV 720p codec with 25 frames and 44,0 KHz audio. I imported those clips into FCP6 and noticed that the Sequence preset had 48,0 Khz audio instead, so I imported every source clip into Soundtrack Pro to convert the audio back to 48,0 KHz.
    I guess that is where it went wrong somehow. Since at some point FCP indicated that one of the source clips had 44,0 KHz audio and not 48,0 KHz audio ( though in SoundTrack it reported 48,0 KHz ).
    I imported the stuff back into FCP and noticed that now the audio of the clips was 48,0 KHz audio, so I was ready to go. I did the cut in FCP and audio was perfectly in sync with the video. Upon export to a QT Movie ( Self Contained or Reference, immediately from FCP or through Compressor 3 it didn't matter ) the sound seemed to be out of sync after a period of time. By the end of one 15 minute clip the sound was about a minute off, which is unusable for a screencast.
    Thanks to a suggestion here I exported the original clip from within FCP to a new QuickTime movie containing only the audio, and one containing only the video portion. I dragged those two on a new Sequence and did the cut again.
    Once that was done, the export was perfectly in sync.
    My guess is that it went wrong in Soundtrack somewhere, and not really in FCP. But I'm not 100% sure though.
    I hope this helps for some others who might have a similar problem.
    Regards,
    Stefaan

  • Losing resolution when exporting...

    I have made a few movies using photos and video clips set to music. When I export them, either using Quicktime or sharing them with iDVD, they lose a lot of resolution. Is there a way to burn these movies to DVD without losing quality?

    I used the Ken Burns feature on every photo (70 total). Some of the photos are 3264x2448(8MP), most are 2592x1944(5MP), and a few are scanned photos size app. 2711x2033.
    Okay. Would assume the still are being stored in your project as 1920x1440 frames. (You can check this out for yourself and I don't know if working in PAL mode would be different that NTSC.) In any case, the stored image resolution will be the limiting factor for export resolution.
    When finished, I exported the video in Large size 720x576. At this resolution the quality was very deteriorated.
    Just finished making a dozen runs duplicating your work flow in Compressor Native PAL, Compressor Native NTSC, 768x576, 640x480, etc. and cannot duplicate you problem without doing something like using a filter to overdrive the contrast like this:
    Preview in iMovie '08
    Output in QT Player
    Output w/Overdriven Contrast in QT Player
    Apple Care recommended that I share with iDVD, but I got the same results. Then I started experimenting with Quicktime, which is where I am now. I have tried several different sizes, including my own concoctions with the custom function (1382x1036 is what I'm exporting at now, I want to keep a 4:3 aspect ratio).
    As indicated above, you can open your project folder and check the "Still Images" QT file which contains your stored photos to see their resolution. Max resolution depends on your project import settings (e.g., 1920x1080, 960x540, etc.) and their orientation. In any case, this is the max height resolution to which you can export your project at optimum quality for its aspect ratio. Remember, however, that whatever resolution you export your project to will later be re-scaled in iDVD down to 720x576 (PAL) or 720x480 (NTSC) for burning to DVD. If you think the increased processing time is worth whatever increase in quality you may achieve, then go for it.
    The resolution looks acceptable (once I shrink the movie down to fit on the screen), but as I mentioned the color saturation is too high. In the quicktime filters, I adjusted the saturation down to 80 percent, and reduced the red by 5. Still waiting on the results...
    Still haven't a clue here.

  • Losing saturation when exporting from 1.3

    Hello!
    I need some help. I just started noticing that when I export my jpegs from Lightroom that I am losing saturation in my images. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to change my settings to something else?
    Is anyone else having this problem?
    I am exporting as RGB.
    Thanks!
    Jen

    Chaps,
    I'm with Jao on this one.
    Here's how it is:
    |----------------------| ProPhoto Gamut
    |-------------------| Camera Gamut
    |----------------| Monitor Gamut
    If you're in control of your colour management, you are exporting a ProPhoto file and then transforming it to sRGB:
    |----------------------| ProPhoto Gamut
    |                |  ^
    |                |  |_ "Clipped" data lost in transform
    |                |
    |----------------| sRGB Gamut
    In this case "80% ProPhoto red" maps to "100% sRGB red" and the picture looks right, although it may be clipped. You can't see this clipping on the monitor though. The monitor can't tell the difference between "80% ProPhoto red" and "100% ProPhoto red". You understand I'm making it up with my "80%" and "100%", that's why they're in quotes.
    If you're not in control of your colour management, you are exporting a ProPhoto file and then assigning sRGB to it:
    |----------------------| ProPhoto Gamut
    |                     /
    |                    /
    |                   /   <- Squeeze down assigning sRGB to ProPhoto pic
    |                  /
    |                 /
    |                /
    |----------------| sRGB Gamut
    That produces exactly the symptoms you describe. Something that was "80% red" in ProPhoto should map to something "100% red" in sRGB as described above. With bad colour management, one maps "80% ProPhoto red" to "80% sRGB red" and they look nothing like each other.
    Note that so-called
    color stupid applications - like Preview on Windows, for example - do exactly that.
    However, both Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom are not color stupid.
    I can easily force CS3 into doing it by a) not embedding the colour space when I save the file and/or b) "applying" a profile instead of "converting to" a profile.
    Lightroom does neither of these things by default on my machine.
    Your mileage may vary.

  • Losing image when exporting from CS5 to PDF

    Hi All!
    I am working off of a file that was sent to me by our designer. I made a few small changes to some text and went to export to PDF and one (and only one) of my images is lost in the PDF!
    The image was originally embedding in a .idml (mark up) file when it came from the graphic designer. I worked in that file and saved it as an .indd file (CS5) and exported. I then tried to delete the file and link it, no go. Re-embed it, still nothing. I've now tried exporting it once again to .idml and exporting to PDF with no success.
    I then went in, opened the original .idml file and exported to PDF without making any changes and I'm still losing the image! My graphic designer is able to export just fine on his end (I'm pretty sure he's working on CS6) and we've had the peice printed once already, so I know it's something going array on my end.
    I've also tried changing various export settings with no luck. What am I missing here?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Is CS5 patched to 7.0.4?
    Is the image on a master page?
    Is it visible when you switch to Preview mode?

  • Music slightly out of sync when exporting in Premiere CS6, format problem?

    Hi guys, i have a quick question.
    I edited together a promo for a local band and everything is perfect in the sequence as far as being on point with the music at certain beats and such. However when I export it the music is slightly out of sync, which is bad when you edited everything specificly to the song. I am not using ANY audio from the footage but instead layed a music track over everything. I'm not sure what else to do, could it be a format problem? I am using h.264 (see below), but would AVI or anything else work better? any help is appreciated thank you!
    I am exporting directly from inside Premiere CS6 using a custom H.264 preset. 24fps, VBR 2 pass encoding. Target 7MB, Max 11MB. (with render at maxium bit depth, and render at highest quaility selected.)
    I put the audio settings to high, 320kbs AAC format.
    I use a custom built PC with an i7-3770K, 32 GB RAM, and I exported to a 120GB SSD.
    Any other info you need just ask.any types for uploading to vimeo so it doesn't get out of sync there? thank you in advance!
    Also, any types for uploading to vimeo so it doesn't get out of sync there? thank you in advance!

    Hi,
    I dont think that you will really get a problem while exporting in any of the given formats. But i would really like to check if the audio layer is exactly same as of the video. for eg - if my audio is 00:05:30 and my video is 00:05:20 , we might face issue with the sync.
    We can try to put more black video to make it a match with the audio and then try to export.
    Where do you have the media files , on a internal drive like c: or desktop? In case not , try to move the media files to desktop and then try to export.
    Also instead of exporting the files to your 120GB SSD , try to export it on the desktop.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks

  • Audio sync when exporting to Audition

    Let's see if I can explain this...
    If I direct link a sequence from PP to Audition and the bring in a rendered mp4 as a reference (both 48khz), and put the audio from the reference vide on a separate track. There is a slght offset (around 4-5 ms) causing an echo when I play the reference audio and the audio from the direct link operation at the same time. Get the same result if I bring in an omf and the reference movie into Logic Pro X.
    The reason for bringing in the reference video with sound is that I want to double check the sync.
    I have a musician and audio background so I might be a bit picky with sound....
    How do I remedy this without nudging the audio clips? I there something in the export of the reference video that I might have missed?
    I am running the latest version of all the Adobe applications and using a MacBook Pro early 2013 15" 16GB and GeForce GT 650M and OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
