MPEG Streamclip export. Audio not synced.

I have a ReplayTV (similar to Tivo), and use mReplay to download TV shows to my mac. I downloaded a show, and want to edit it. It downloads as quicktime file, but I can't edit the file when I open it in Quicktime. The little edit arrows are not there. So I import it into MPEG Streamclip, edit the clip, and then export it. But the audio is not synced with the video. I've played around with it quite a bit and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. On the export, the settings I am using are: Export to MPEG-4, Compression is Apple MPEG4 Compressor, frame size is 720 x 480 (DV-NTSC). I've tried limiting the Frame Rate and Data Rate but that doesn't solve the problem. Any ideas on why it's doing this, and how I can solve this problem. Please help. Thanks for your consideration. Davi

The reason I have to different computers is because I use one to import and one to edit...I recently switched the import computer to FCX. I am importing 50 minute sermons captured in HD1080i60. When I use FC6, I would import it as HDV. The file would be a .mov When I use FCX, I just figured to do it the same way. Once its done importing, I try to quit FCX and it asks to quit background processes??? Never had this going on in FC 6...so I just stopped the rendering and quit FCX...then when I move the imported file into a project on FC6 everything goes fine until the export when the file fails to sync the audio...the audio is fine at the beginning but after a few special effects...the audio drags....I can alone think it has to do with my importing process...

Getting Around MPEG Streamclip "No Audio" Problem

(Long post; apologies in advance.)
I needed to get around the MPEG Streamclip "no audio" problem that other people here have had. I just found a workaround that more-or-less works for my specific situation ... and it's free to boot.
Since other people are having this problem, I thought I'd let you know what happened to me, so you can decide if this is something you want to try. If you do, I suggest posting replies here so we all can learn (if that's okay with the board moderators here).
QTAmateur for MacOS X is available at http://www.mikeash.com/software/qtamateur/ . The developer has a somewhat full explanation of what it does at the site, so I won't repeat it here (and I don't get anything for talking about it here; I just want to share the good news).
Right now I'm field recording with a Flip Mino camera (non-HD), which saves video/audio to an AVI file (3ivx MPEG-4, 640x480) at 30 fps, with 44.1 kHz audio (Microsoft ADPCM). Funny thing is the files from my Flip actually imported into FCE without any conversion, but I had to render everything. And the video looked like crap. Hated the rendering and the look, so I searched for other solutions.
After paying for a couple of things that didn't work (lessons learned there), I finally found MPEG Streamclip. Since I'm using Snow Leopard, I sunk the additional $20 into the dang MPEG-2 playback component after my initial export try didn't produce any audio. After the component install, I still didn't have audio. Grrrrr.
So I Googled a bunch of keywords, and I somehow stumbled across this QTA package. Snow Leopard users should note a minor drawback here: QTA needs QuickTime 7, which gets blown away in a Snow Leopard upgrade and is not included in new Macs with Snow Leopard. Users can get off of their Install DVD, though, so it's not a huge deal.
When exporting from QTA, I matched its settings (audio and video) with the ones I found in this document: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12274888&#12274888 . QTA's export interface is actually QT7s, so at least that's familiar.
The only problem I'm having is that even though I set QTA to export at 29.97 fps, the exported files are still at 30 fps. A quick change in FCE upon import is the only thing I needed to use the file without rendering. I also had to change the fps setting on my LiveType files.
The only thing I need to figure out is to how to match up some studio-recorded audio with all of the above, so I don't have to render the studio audio and so it comes out at the equivalent of 30 fps. I think all I need to do is record at 44.1 KHz and I'm okay.
Of course, this is all my experience, and I realize others may not be able to work with this kind of setup. But I think this is an interesting workaround .. I wouldn't really call it a full solution, though, mainly because of the 29.97 fps versus 30 fps aspect.
One other quick thing: I'm not sure if this works without that $20 MPEG-2 playback component from Apple (thanks for that charge, Apple!), since I already had the component installed when I discovered QTA. Someone without the component, though, can download this and see if it works. If it does, then we all know that we don't need to spend the extra $20 for it to work.
If you decide to take the plunge, please let us know here. Thanks for reading.

@Tom and @Meg:
Thanks so much for your replies (speedy, too!). I especially want to thank Meg, who took the time to replicate the problem (which confirms to myself that I'm not nuts ). At least I know I have an ultimate "savior" in QT7 Pro.
Before I spend that final $30, though, I want to see if Tom can help, based on what the QT Inspector says about my .avi files from the Flip. Here's what it says:
VID00001.AVI
Format: Generic MPEG-4, 640 x 480, Millions
Microsoft ADPCM, Mono, 44.100 kHz
FPS: 30
Data Rate: 3408.53 kbits/s
Normal Size: 640 x 480 pixels
Current Size: 640 x 480 pixels (Actual)
(that's word for word, except for the source [file location]; wish I could figure out how to paste in the window from my Grab of it.)
I've already done the exports in the same way Meg indicated in her reply, trying all kinds of combinations. When exporting, though, I've always used DV/DVCPRO w/audio @ uncompressed 48k, and frame size @ 720x480 @ 29.97fps settings (saw those in another post here at the forum). I'm thinking those aren't contributing to my situation.
Whaddya think, Tom?
BTW, the biggest reason why I want to have the audio is to easily sync the audio off the digital recorder (I hook myself up with a lav mic) to the audio coming off of the Flip. I do the ol' "triple clap" trick to sync audio, so that helps -- thank goodness for audio waveforms in FCE.
Once synced, I then delete the Flip audio and move the digital recorder audio up to A1/A2 (although I delete the A2 audio channel). Sounds 1000% better than the Flip audio, as I record outside and the Flip mic picks up wind big-time.
BTW, Tom: I bought your book earlier this week. It's really, really good. You could teach an entire college semester class off of this book, and do it well. I'm getting to more of the lessons this week.

Fcp won't export audio in sync, fcp won't export audio in sync

Hs anyone any experience with FCP not exporting audio in sync even though the audion and video is in sync on your timeline prior to export, someone suggested that if you have independenytly recorded audio at 44.1KHZ instead of 48K this can cause issues, tried resampling but doesnt sem to make a difference any help would be appreciated

So guys here's how it all turned out. As I couldn't re-record the original source audio wave files, I resorted to opening up the original source wave files which were 44.1k and resample them by opening them in soundtrack pro, process tab, then select resample, this then presents a drop down tab with a range of resampling options, in this case I selected 48k which is what my video is set to.
Surprisingly quickly the source files were re-encoded ( these were around 1 and 1/2 hour each running time)
Then reopened FCP and without having to Re-edit the timeline just offlined the orginal 44.1k files and replaced them by reconnecting media and pointing to new resampled 48k files.
They dropped back in perfectly and on export video and audio were in perfect sync.
Lessons learned - always record the audio which was on a separate field recorder at 48k. - point well made Goldfish
Secondly - thanks to everyone for your helps and hints
Thirdly - in learning we have no failures, we just fall forwards
Best regards,

Teleconferencing app - Video/Audio not synced

I have a Flex based application which is using Flash Media Server (FMS) server (version 4.0) for live video streaming between two users (i.e. a one to one teleconferencing service). This streaming is one-to-one, as defined by business rules, so that no third person can join a teleconference. Either person can start the video stream via a browser-based Flex client and communication gets established once the second user joins. Validation for connecting the streams of the two users is implemented on the FMS server (as server side scripting defined in main.asc).
Almost every teleconference has video/audio sync issue of anywhere between 2-10 seconds (i.e. the audio and video feeds are not synchronized).
Question - any suggestions on how this can be corrected, either client or server side?
Thanks for the ideas...
Jonathan

Re: Video/Audio not synced when viewing on computerT I'm using the HD+ mode and it is in synch. After more playing around I noticed that I sometimes experience the stop motion but then it quickly returns. It only happens when I have other programs open. If I close all programs and just have open the video, it works well. Again, this is a limitation of my computer power.
Try this... Open up the Task Manager and then play a video. See how much of the computers power you are utilizing when the video plays. Look at the processes that are open and close anything you don't need. Most people have too much stuff running in the background on their computers that slows it down. They usually come preloaded from the manufactor that way. I have set up my computer so that nothing runs automatically when you start-up. It makes the computer much faster.
Also, are you running Vista? Vista is a memory hog. Try messing around with Vista's settings. Vista can limit your computer power. With your computer power, you shouldn't be having such a problem. Maybe switch back to XP.

MPEG streamclip export settings

I realize this is not an MPEG streamclip forum, but there is a FCE question embedded in my post somewhere. I'm converting M2T HDV files in MPEG Streamclip to edit in Final Cut Express. I've used several different export options in MPEG Streamclip, but all of them are requiring rendering in FCE. What is an export format in MPEG Streamclip that I can edit natively in FCE?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Katie

When I select export to Quicktime there isn't a 720x480 Anamorphic frame size. There's 854x480 in both the 16:9 and unscaled options, and there's a 720x480 DV-NTSC frame size, but there isn't one that says both. Also, the default compression is Apple Motion JPEG A: I don't see a DV-NTSC codec in the drop down menu for compression. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks for enduring!

JVC GZ-HD7U MPEG Streamclip export settings for use with FCP

There are a number of compression options in the free MPEG Streamclip 1.9.2 and it's unclear what's best or how I would figure that info out. My guess is Apple HDV 1080i50, Apple HDV 1080i60, Apple DVCPRO HD 1080i50, or Apple DVCPRO HD 1080i60. The default setting was Apple Motion JPEG A, but this produced a huge file and doesn't seem right anyway. I think the desired frame size is 1920 x 1080, but I'm uncertain if I need to end up with an interlaced or progressive .mov file. My selectable options for progressive/interlaced are: "Interlaced Scaling," "Reinterlace Chroma," and "Deinterlace Video." Selecting "Deinterlace Video" excludes use of the other two options.
These clips will eventually be edited in FCP and I'm guessing that the appropriate settings will match whatever is selected at the export stage.
I'm using the JVC Everio GZ-DH7U HD Hard disk camcorder...I'm not sure if JVC uses the same setting across the board for it's HD cameras or maybe just the Everio cameras are similarly designed??
Thanks to all!!

the output should match the source file, generally speaking. So if you camera is making HD files then using a HD sized coded would suffice.
HDV (IIRC) is 1440x1080. I often find that using the default settings for a particular file type in Streamclip often work quite well.
As a test, take a small file. if it works, great batch process away, if not, tweak it and then try the same small file until you get a desirable result. Rinse and repeat.

Audio not synced correctly

My audio recordings do not sync up with the correct sub-beat. What setting do I need to change in order for the recording to be in the correct place? It's usually off by a 16th note and I always have to drag it into the correct place, which is a drag, pun intended.

Hi Steve,
Sorry about not getting back sooner but I had to take care of some family business. I looked at the FAQ's like you suggested and luckily I am using the ADS Pyro Audio Link which I purched several years age. It is working very well and I have never had a problem with it. I am in the process of digitizing almost 100 two hour home movie s-vhs tape which go back in some cases 25 years so I can archive them. The tapes are in great shape and look like they were shot yesterday. The project is going well. I have almost 80 of them digitized. I have started the second phase of the project which is to do a very quick edit of each one just cutting out the dead spots. I will then burn that edit to DVD and make several safety copies of each one to send to friends and family. Luckily so far I am only having audio sync problems with this one tape. I brought several others into the Premiere Elements 11 program just to check if they were ok audio sync wise and they were. Do you think it would be worth a try to digitize this problem tape again? Perhaps something happened just to this tape during the digitizing. This tape just happens to be the very first tape I shot back in July/August 1988 when my oldest son was born so it is quite important to us. I thank you in advance for you help and advice. Robert

MPEG Streamclip Issues - Audio

So, I just started using MPEG Streamclip to get my .MOD files onto Final Cut Express. I have a question that may lead to another question.
1. When I converted the clips, they came out with no audio. I tried "Convert to MPEG" and "Convert to MPEG with MP2 Audio" and they came out only video.
and
2. If I have to reconvert all of my (45) clips, is there a way that I can do them all at once instead of drag, click, wait, repeat?
Thanks in advance

You don't convert to MPEG, you convert to QuickTime.
There is a batch function in MPEG Streamclip. Look in the menus. I can't remember which one it's in.

Audio not sync with video using photo booth since os moutain lion was installed

Since OS Moutain Lion was installed my photo booth no longer function well, audio is not sync with video, the sound delay is obvious with the video outut wha can I do to correct this?

I've seen that problem in several threads, both here and in the Mountain Lion forum. I tried to replicate the problem but was unable to do so... so it's not a problem effecting all Macs. Try posting here - in the Mountain Lion forum - and see what you get as a search. There's one specific "More Like This" to the right on this thread but there doesn't seem to have been a solution posted.
Good luck,
Clinton

Audio not synced with video on movie downloads

The audio is not synced with video on movie downloads from the ITunes store. I have downloaded many movies in the past from the same PC with no problem.

Hi Jimmyjoefl,
I understand that you are having playback issues with videos you have purchased from the iTunes Store. After doing some research, I found the following resource that describes your exact symptoms:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718
Here are some things to check if, when viewing a movie in iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7, you notice that a video appears distorted, intermittently pauses, or has audio that is out of sync with the image on-screen.
Thanks,

Video and Audio not synced on .mov file in final cut, but perfect in QT!

I recently just captured a miniDV tape onto final cut. I captured it in 23.98fps. After I captured it and opened it up in final cut's sequence, the video and audio was not synced at all. it's way off and even when i try to move the audio around on the timeline and get one voice synced up, about a minute into the video it's off again.
i tried opening the video in quick time under the captured scratch folder, and when it plays in quick time, it's perfect. there is no sync problem at all. only when i open it in final cut is there a problem.
does anyone know how to fix this or what is going wrong?!
HELP ME

well i mean we recorded it in 24PA, which is what we've been doing for this project of ours. And when we go to capture in final cut we choose the Advanced Pull Down setting. So in the end, our video is in 23.98 fps.
I just thought I'd mention that just to give more details. idk if it's helpful or not

Audio not syncing with Video when live streaming.

Hello, i was wondering if i could get a possible fix for a problem that's been keeping my streaming back. I am using a Dazzle capture card to stream video games, and Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 to send out the feed. My video source is of course the capture card and i use a MAC program called "Audio Midi Setup" to create an aggregate device of both the dazzle audio and my microphone as an audio source for FMLE. This way, the viewers could hear both my voice and the game audio.
Everything works really well, except for one problem. The audio always occurs 6 seconds before the actions in the game that correspond to it, and my voice will mention something first before it happens, again off by 6 seconds. I've played around with a couple of the settings for audio and video, but no matter what, it's always a 6 second delay. I've had this problem for a while and am unsure if the problem stems to FMLE at this point, but would appreciate any possible help. Thank you

This is common for separately recorded audio. Sync the start of both clips. then go to the end and adjust the speed of the audio clip until it get's back in sync at the end. It should then be in sync throughout. You'll have to experiment to get just the right adjustment. My device's clips had to be adjusted to 100.4% speed to keep sync.

Imported Reason audio not syncing with GB metronome

I'm working on a project in GarageBand that is built around a piano part that was exported from Reason. The Reason audio track is 128 BPM, so I created a GarageBand project that was the same tempo. The piano slows down at the very end of the song, so I set up the automator to adjust the GB tempo at the end. When I started recording other instruments, I noticed that the metronome was slightly off -- it starts out in sync, but the further along I get into the song the more out of sync it becomes (way before the tempo change at the end). I made the mistake of simply turning off the metronome and playing along with the piano track. Now I'm trying to add in some drum loops and the result has been disastrous.
So, what gives? Why aren't they in sync? Is there anything I can do about it? I'd rather not have to go back and re-record all of my instruments if that's possible to avoid.
Thanks.

After importing the GarageBand file into Logic I found that GarageBand for some reason had the the time signature changing slowly over time rather than instantly at the correct measure.

Video and audio not sync when i play all forms of video. from music videos, to tv shows. but they play perfect on my iPod. and tv shows display out of order on iPod, but in correct order on iTunes/computer. I even ran a virus check just to make sure.

audio and video do not syncronize. all forms of videos. music videos to tv shows. what do i need to do the syncronize them again
they are in sync on iPod, but not on computer.
another issue that might be from the same cause is, the order of episodes of the tv shows i have downloaded, they appear in order on computer, but on iPod they show out of order.
any tips on how to fix this would very much help.
thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
An old version of iTunes will cause this and mess up the videos on your iPod. Always make sure you always use an up-to-date version of iTunes.
Make sure all the software on your computer is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
You will then need to restore the iPod and then let iTunes update your iPod and put your music, videos, etc. back onto your iPod...
