Multiclip project out of synch

Newbie...
I've done a 4 camera multiclip music project and 1 of my clips has gone out of sych with the audio (the other 3 are good)....how do I fix this?

Hi
As to the problem - This occured for me and a 1 hour / two Camera project
In this case - I had a true problem as one Camera didn't match the other.
My small hand held Camera was - Sencitive to movement of Camera - The big one was not
Switching set-up to let small Camera be stationary and big one Hand held made futher propjects
totally OK and in Sync over full 62 minutes. (miniDV tape lenght used)
The troubling project was best off with Audio from both Cameras - nobody commented upon it.

Entire Project Out of Synch

Hi Everybody,
I was working happily on a wedding and one day, for some unknown reason, everything in my sequence timeline is off synch by 5 frames. Should I just scoot everything down five frames and move on?
Thanks,
Vicky

I have a thought...
Go to the VIEW menu... somewhere down low is AUDIO FOLLOWS VIDEO.
I get this changed everynow and again. If your audio isn't going directly where your video is then you can get 5-as much as 15 frames off.
Usually happens to me when I've got video going to external monitor via FW and my audio is sitting there playing off the internal mac -- which I have going to the same set of speakers that it would go to if I had been monitoring off the deck. For me -- simple switch of that and a push of a button on my mixer and I'm fixed... I mean, my audio sync issue is fixed.
(Jim's cat story of old got me thinking on that last comment!!!)

Projects folder and Events folder out of synch

I recovered a corrupt imovie projects folder by copying a backup and replacing the old imovie project folder. The imovie projects and events folders now seem to be out of synch. I can see my events, but cannot see not are allowed to create any projects. imovie crashes every time I attemp to create a new project. If I delete both folders and allow imovei to create new empty ones, all is well, but I have no events. I have mnay hours of movies and don't ant to have to reimport. Any ideas? thanks.

you can't, you might have to download a custom ROM that allow you to do that

Video and audio out of synch on burned DVD. DVD project appears to be fine. I'm using 1X speed to burn disc. Project info indicates plenty of space. What should I do?

Video and audio are out of synch on some chapters of a burned double layer DVD. The iDVD (7.1.2) project seems to be fine. I'm burning the DVD using a 1X speed. What else can I do to solve this problem. Based on the project information, I have plenty of space relative to the DVD capacity.

Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Video and audio out of synch after export

Hello guys,
I have 5 minutes long video on timeline.
1 audio and 3 video layers.
All looks good, but once I export it as QuickTime self contained movie (current settings) to my desktop, video and audio is out of synch.
Any ideas what it might be wrong?
Thank you for any advise.

Hi
Did You Render All - first - before Export
Did You Mixdown Audio - Render Only - last line
What material was used
• Video Codec and fps
• Audio file formats and bit-depth and frequency e.g. .aiff 48kHz 16-bit
• What kind of Project Set-Up did You use e.g. Easy Set-Up - PAL-48kHz

Imovie 5.0.2, Stuttering playback and out of synch audio with visual.

I have edited a movie on Imovie HD 5.0.2, it is about 50 mins long. When I came to record back onto my Sony DCR-HC42E camcorder (I don't have a combo drive on my Imac) the playback is not acceptable. It stutters, freezes and after a while the audio becomes out of synch with the visual. The playback is generally not smooth enough either. I have updated to the latest operating system. I have chosen standard quality playback from the preferences option and am very frustrated at the poor results.
I have 20 GB of space left on the computer.
If anyone can suggest a solution I would be most grateful.

Mark, if your Mac has just 256MB RAM it's possible adding more RAM will improve playback and your export to the camera. I wouldn't bet on it, but it's certainly worth a try. (You need more RAM anyway, so it's a good idea nevertheless.)
There may be another way to successfully export your project to your camera. Even projects that "stutter" when played in iMovie often export correctly to QuickTime. (The export to QT is not time sensitive, unlike the export to the camera.) You should be able to export your project to a Full Quality DV movie, one of iMovie's built-in export options. Exporting to QuickTime "flattens" the movie, making it easier to play.
You would then import THAT movie to a new iMovie project. That project will probably export successfully to the camera.
You may want to test this by exporting the first few minutes of the project. (To export a group of clips instead of the entire project, select them and use the checkbox button "Share selected clips only" that you'll see in the export dialog.)
You're running low on disk space, so here's a trick to avoid iMovie having to make yet ANOTHER copy of the Full Quality movie when importing it. The movie will be about 12GB; it won't be small.
Instead of importing the Full Quality movie to a new project, create the new iMovie project, Quit iMovie, open the project package (Control-click on the project icon and choose "Show Package Contents" from the popUp menu) then drop the Full Quality movie into the Media folder. Re-open the project. The Full Quality movie appear in the iMovie trash. Open the Trash window and drag the clip to the Timeline. Save, then export to your camera.

ISight & Audio out of Synch?

I regularly record videos for YouTube and I recently got a brand new Macbook Pro 15" to replace my 2nd Generation one. I never had a problem on that. However now, I've filmed two videos on this laptop using the iSight and internal mic, and both times, the audio has been out of synch with the video. It's almost like the audio has been stretched and is longer than the video. Because I tried moving the audio around in FCP, and it would always fall out of synch a few seconds later. Has anyone ever heard of this?
PS - This time I filmed into iMovie. The first time I filmed into the YouTube 'record' function on the website.
Please help!

Welcome to Discussions, techsexgloss
(1) Well known issue when using FCP/E to edit QT capture/import files. As I understand it, the problem is related to differences between the recorded QuickTime file formats and your FCP workflow settings. This is not really a problem with your built-in iSight, which has no sound recording of its own.
Although I do not use FCP, conforming your QT import files to your FCP workflow / settings seem to be the answer. See this thread for one example:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4677375&#4677375
A look through the returns from this search should give you more ideas:

(2) If you need more help, I suggest you post in FCP discussions:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=939
Be sure to include the frame, bit, and sampling rate parameters for the QuickTime file you are importing into FCP when you ask your question. It might also be helpful if you state the parameters you plan to output from FCP in your finished project.

Cs3-cs4 upgrade clips out of synch

Working on a cs3 PPro project, going very well! Updated to SC4 to take advantage of its improved 3D modeling capabilities. However I note that now my sc3 project, once set up in cs4 is now out of synch. Edits aren't where I placed them - I assumed you could transfer cs3 to cs 4 no problems.

Normally, CS3 Projects do translate to CS4 Projects well. General wisdom is to complete in the version that was used to start, but I see your point on wanting to move up here.
Maybe give the specifics of this Project and its Assets, as there could be something there.
Also, did you Open the CS3 Project into CS4, or did you Import it. Might want to try the other way, depending on what you did.
Good luck,

Exported quicktime out of synch

My project looks and sounds fine in the canvas in FCP 5. I export it using "Quicktime Conversion" to MP4 and the resulting movie goes suddenly several seconds out of synch at a point about 3/4 of the way through the movie. It was fine up to that point.
The footage is HDV, and I'm exporting it at smaller dimensions, compressed as MP4 for the web.
Any ideas on where to go from here? Thanks for any suggestions.

You might try exporting it selfcontained with sequence settings first (and reimporting or playing in qtplayer to see if it's in synch). If it's in synch, use that to do your export.

Mp4 Audio out of synch

Hi there
I recorded some video recently for a small project and saved in MP4 format (using a Panasonic HC-V510 HD camcorder).
I've come to edit the material today and noticed that all of the files are out of synch, even though video/audio were all recorded together on the camcorder and imported as MP4 files straight into Premiere Pro - hence synch should be maintained.
I've read elsewhere this could be a CODEC or Ecoding issue by the camcorder is not sophisticated enough to have allowed any manual intervention of any of these settings.
So puzzled by:
1) what would cause the files to be out of synch
2) how to get them back in synch automatically
Many thanks for any help and advice.
Regards
Alan.

Audio out of Synch in Prem Pro CS4 after editing in Soundbooth

This is using the Mac version of Premiere Pro CS4 and Soundbooth. I Premeire, I choose to edit the audio portion of a clip in Soundbooth. In sound booth I just add some compression or other sweetening and save it (only adding effects no cutting of the audio or anything). When I save it and go back to Premeire, the audio is out of synch. Also this seems to happen intermittently not everytime.
Any ideas?
The audio in premiere is part of a video clip and is 48K 16bit.

Good morning Lynn,
I doubt this will help, but whenever I have issues importing tapes, I try
something else. I double check the software's manual because
sometimes, even if I have done the same thing several times, I add
or miss something. If that does not work I close the program and restart
the computer and camcorder and try again ... with a different tape. If
that doesn't work I use a different program. I use an old HP workstation
I paid $99 for on Ebay that's running XP and I capture with Scenalyzer.
Then I copy file to a USB drive and input to Premiere. Sorry, I figure the
problem is me, not the hardware or software and it usually is me because
when the next project comes along PP usally imports fine.

PREMIERE PRO cs3 & cs5 - audio out of synch by 6 frames after export

i have never had formal training on adobe premiere, and therefore when i am working with my students it is basically down to expereince i have gained by myself.
with cs3, we always worked on the basis that it would always export the audio out of synch with the video by 6 frames so they would routinely have the audio tracks on two separate tracks, one for editing and one for exporting which was offset +6 frames.
when we made the transition to cs5 and new kit i was stunned to see that the synch issues were still there. and since a quick google yielded very little evidence that others shared this issue i thought it must be something i am doing wrong after years of bad habits learned on the fly.
so here is my workflow, where am i going wrong and why is it always out of synch?
open cs5
choose an editing format. (this varies but the synch issue is always the same)
import content
edit
export (normally as a microsoft avi, with no compression which i later convert into quicktime compressed with ANIMATION)
i teach on an animation course so normally the content we import is a sequence of stills such as jpg or tiff, but we also capture stuff on dslrs too
the timeline colour is normally yellow, which is fine at standard def, but larger def we will render workspace to turn it green
the editing format depends on our target format. the current project is 720 hd
the export as avi with no compressor i suspect to be a weak link in this work flow, but the problem remains if i export as anything else so....
now as an additional point on the matter, the current project we have had people miming to an audio clip which we played live for their performance. the audio blips were aligned on the timeline with the audio blips from the edit
but after rendering out, the footage is out of synch by 6 frames. it has always been this way.
any thoughts? i know i must be doing something wrong, but the issue is consistant across different computer, running different OS and different versions of PREM...so either i am doing it wrong or premiere is fundamentally broke.....i suspect its me though

is there a logical reason for opting for a preset which is the lowest common denominator rather than a highest? is it not better to work at the best res possible?
does it matter either way? because i have often created 1080p content and worked in a 1024/576 edit environment only to later export at 1080p with no loss of quality?
i create the avi and then open this in quicktime to export to the desired formats.
now that you posted that comment i cant believe i have never done the simple trouble shoot of 'at what point does it go out of synch'
files are too big to playback uncompressed though.
i know it is a workflow issue and not a prem issue because no one else seems to have the problem.
im going to run some tests
thanks, will report back

Problems with a Published PDF audio/video that runs out of synch

Hi,
I have a large (30minute) video, with a combination of audio, flash videos with and without embedded music, and screens.
I published the captivate project to PDF, and then ran it using Abode Reader X and Flashplayer 11.01.
It played fine.
However, I am getting feedback from various people that when they try and run the video, the initial embedded flv file (with music) starts off and then suddenly the entire PDF file goes wild displaying screens in 1 second intervals in no apparent pattern with the music from the embedded flv file still playing in the background, eventually the voice over starts but obviously out of synch as the slides still appear in these 1 second intervals.
I ran a few tests to see if this strange behaviour had anything to do with the Adobe Reader or Flash Player installed, but there seems to be no pattern.
I even upgraded one system to Adobe Reader X and Flashplayer 11 but still experienced this same problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be happening for some users and not for all? Or what other settings I might try looking at to solve the problem?
Thank you,
Tannis

We will need a lot more information about those Videos. This ARTICLE will give you ideas on the info that will be so very useful for us to help you.

Why do my audio and video get out of synch?

No matter what sort of video I'm trying to play: Youtube, a movie on DVD, a movie on an external hard drive, etc, after a short time the audio and video get out of synch with each other. This is often, though not always, signaled by a short audio phrase being repeated (eg: "I don't know, Scully, how about you? about you?"). I can solve the problem by quitting the app and starting it back up but it will eventually screw up again.
I'm using a MacBook running OS 10.6.8 with a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory.

MASMAS
The first thing that we need to know are the properties of what you are putting on the Timeline. What works in another software does not necessarily work in Premiere Elements. Each program has its own supported formats.
a. What is the file extension for this file? .MOV or .MP4?
b. Does the iPad describe it as 1080p or 720p?
c. If you open Premiere Elements 12 and go to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General, what do you see for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio, even if those field appear to be grayed out.
Two immediate troubleshooting avenues are going to be in the direction of...
a. Project settings not set up to match the properties of the source from the iPad. Then we would start a new project and set the project setting manually before importing your video. Details for manually setting the project preset are in the following.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
b. The iPad video being recorded with a variable frame rate instead of a constant one...the remedy then would probably be to take your video in a program like HandBrake to change the variable to a constant frame rate. And after that, import the corrected video into the Premiere Elements project which has the correct project preset (preferably set manual to assure the correct result).
Please see what you can put together in the way of video details, and we will sort this out.
Thanks.

Imovie soundtrack goes out of synch

I have had this problem a few times, and I would love any help I can get. I have edited movies that I have stored on tape. When I bounce them back into imovie to incorporate them into other projects or to make a dvd comp the sound track starts to ride out of synch with the video. I am not entirely sure what is doing it but I suspect it had something to do with titles added into clips. Maybe a font over the vid and not over black. I am not sure. Any ideas?

I am no expert but have been fighting out of sync problem for months. First, the best advice you've been given is 16 bit. But, if like me, you only have the out of sync Mov on tape this is what I had to do:
Import back into iMov, correct the sync, then share back to tape in 16 bit and make sure at all times cam is in 16 bit mode.
Now correcting sync is a lot easier said than done but this is what worked for me a few days ago. It was obvious that audio narration and lip-sync were lagging the video and by using frame advance from stop I counted an even 3 seconds (90 frames). I then extracted the audio, put it in timeline line under video and could see the first 3 or more seconds were blank. I selected (highlighted) the audio, clipped 3 secs off the front, and dragged the remainder 3 sec to the left. This corrected clips 1 and 2 (9.5 min each) but left the 3 minute clip 3 out of sync in the other direction. So I highlited the audio for clip 3 and dragged it back full right. It was only off about a second+ and the small gap had no audio, but none had existed there anyhow. I then shared back to tape, found sync ok and have since imported back, still in sync. The one move I am unsure of is whether or not I used "lock audio at playhead". Good luck!
