Nightmare with repaired AUDIO slipping out of sync ???

I have a concert shot on Sony camcorders 48Khz, and audio recorded to LOGIC PRO 44.1 Khz
My workflow is roughly this:
1. Log and Transfer footage into FCP.
2. Arrange the clips into a rough edit on the timeline.
3. Export the camera audio from FCP, as it is on the timeline. ( to 44.1 AIFF file)
4. Sync up the good audio in LOGIC PRO to the camera audio track.
5. Bounce the good audio in LOGIC PRO ( to Both 44.1 and 48 AIFF files).
6. Reimport the good audio track into Final Cut Pro, to replace the camera audio.
Logic is working in 44.1 as that what the multi-tracks were recorded in...
I tried importing the 44.1 and the 48 and both do the same
Theoretically, this should sync everything, lThe problem is the "good" audio from the Logic slowly slips out of sync with the camera audio.
BUT !!!!!....The WAVE FORMS SHOW THEN IN SYNC ????????
It just plays back a little faster....??? and goes out of sync
Another clue is that when I export the audio from the rough edit in the timeline (step 3), I can reimport the file that FCP produces and, when I put it on the timeline, it exhibits the same behavior: The exported audio track from FCP slowly slips out of sync with the EXACT SAME audio track on that's already on the timeline. How could it be slipping out of sync with itself after an export?
What a pain ??????

the Wave form is looking correct and all in sync
So, (to confirm) the audio waveform is syncing with the video?...very strange situation with the playback/sync.
Have you tried running Disk Utility/Repair Disk and/or trashing prefs? (I realize trashing preferences is a bit of a pain, but it does resolve many issues).
How full are the harddrives? What drive(s) is your media on and how are the drives connected?

Audio slips out of sync

Importing straight from my .mts or running through media encoder first (to .mxf), either way, the audio always slips out of sync. I'm testing Premiere CC currently to see if it will meet my needs, but I have little confidence it will with an issue like this. If other programs I'm testing (Vegas, Lightworks, and Edius) correctly detect my video/audio settings, why should Adobe be the exception?
The file is .mts from a Panasonic GH1, shot at 1080p 24 (23.976). This is correctly detected according to the sequence editor properties panel (although not as AVHDC). Changing to AVCHD does nothing to alleviate the problem, however.

First off, yes, I've tried importing the way described in the link(s). I've played with this endlessly it seems. I do have a workaround and can get my audio to sync, but it's very manual and time consuming if done on a large scale. I must unlink the audio (actually I'm usually working with a separately recorded audio file), and finagle the time/length/play speed.
What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).
Latest CC version 7.2.2 (at least it's the latest according to the CC downloader)
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
See above
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Win 8.1 64bit
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
AVCHD .mts file from a Panasonic GH1 (both from a single file, minus the whole folder structure, and from one copied the "approved" AVCHD way from within the original unchanged folder structure)
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
None
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
Nothing special
Has this ever worked before?
Not from what I can tell (again, I'm trialing the software here)
What other software are you running?
Web browser sometimes, but same issue when nothing else is running
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
Well, yes, on my machine of course, but nothing I've put into Premiere
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
Core 2 Duo (I know, I know . . .), 8gb memory, NVidia GeForce GT 520 graphics card
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?
Yes
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?
Everything, even before actually importing and simply viewing in the source monitor
Thanks for any attempts to help.

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?

Why do files exported with H264 randomly slip out of sync.

I am currently in the middle of exporting 34 individual videos/sequences.
I am using the H264 codec. Some of them are in sync and some seem to have the audio lagging roughly a frame behind. The videos are of musical instrument demonstrations so there is no margin for error. It seems totally random as to whether they come out of Adobe Media Encoder in sync or out of sync. I have to export each one and then if it's incorrect I have to manually drag the audio a frame forward on the timeline and outout an 'out of sync' timeline in order to get an 'in sync' video! Needless to say, all of the audio is perfectly in sync on the timeline. Plenty of the them are fine and I'm not changing the settings, so it must be some kind of inconsistency with the encoding.
Why is this always such a problem with Adobe Premiere? Even in the past it's been really difficult to get acceptable quality videos out of the software package.
If anyone can offer a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated!

That is the realty of the situation.
Just like a cinematographer, who works so hard making the image look just the way he wants, has no guarantee that the end viewer will have a properly calibrated display and see the film the way it was intended to be seen.
All you can do is your job correctly, and offer suggestions to those whose systems don't work right. Which in this case means using a decent media player.

Converting mp4 to flv with AME - audio is out of sync

I am trying to convert an .mp4 file to an .flv (cropping it at the same time) using AME. The file crops and converts without error but when I play my .flv file the audio is not in sync.
The audio is playing slower than the original mp4, but the video speed still matches the source file.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing this?
Here are my settings and operating system:
Source Settings:
1920x1080, 15 fps, Progressive, 00;02;20;12
22050 Hz, Mono
Output Settings:
1644x1004, Same as source fps, Progressive
MPEG Layer III (MP3), 256 kpps, Mono
CBR, 1 Pass, Target 6977.80 kpps
Windows 7 Enterprise

Why do my audio files constantly corrupt and slip out of sync?

Whether using .caf or .aif (no MP3 audio), I get this strange issue were audio is randomly slipping out of sync. If I use the slip tool to scrub the audio track, I can usually hear an audible digital hit in the file. For example, I placed an explosion sound effect in the timeline and it plays back fine... then one time I'll notice the explosion is missing, but the media is still in the timeline. Level is up. Track is on. If I scrub the piece of media, I may find the explosion at a later point in the audio as if copy pasted there... or I'll hear some digital hits that sound like something has been corrupted... but at the originally intended "in" point, the explosion has simply "moved." Happens with pieces of music,too. I'll time something to a flourish and the flourish is missing at some point down the road and I have to do a matchframe overcut to get a new render that matches what I originally intended. Also have to remember to copy any effects/levels and paste to the newly overcut audio. A royal pain.
Only temporary solution has been to trash all audio renders and re-render the entire sequence. Not a permanent fix as the problem appears again and again. It's really frustrating (and scary) because I now no longer trust that all my audio is playing as intended without first dumping all audio render files and re-rendering. Any ideas?
Thanks,
-A

Thanks for your reply... no, there doesn't seem to be any consistent number of frames skipped. Random pieces of audio simply simply decide to play audio from elswhere in the media. Clicking on the waveform reveals a clear glitch of some kind... it's as if someone scrambled the media, chunks of audio in the wrong place, etc. If I go to the original media in the bin and double-click, it plays fine. I matchframe/overcut re-render) and it usually fixes it, temporaririly or for good. Sometimes I have to dump ALL renders and re-render the whole sequence. It's driving me nuts.
I should explain that I am using up to 30 audio tracks at a time. My machine can handle it fine, but I guess this complexity is causing problems? The reality is, even if all audio was 48khz, there would still be a need to render because of all the layers...
I guess I should start by replacing all 44.1 khz audio with 48.1k audio and see if that fixes it...

Audio/video out of sync (audio delay) with PowerBeats wireless earphones.

I am having a problem with audio/video sync between my PowerBeats Wireless earphones with my MacPro and MacBookPro. I have tried pairing, playing the video, pausing the video, turning off the PowerBeats, tuning the PowerBeats on, then starting the video playback again. I have the same audio delay so this not working for me. Anyone have an update as to how to fix this audio/video sync problem?

I am playing MPEG-4 movie files. I did open MPlayerX from my dock, then pulled down File to select Open which then did show the folder where these movie files are stored. Then I was able to select a movie file, open it, and use "Decrease Audio Delay" to closely sync the audio with the video. I say closely because it is not perfect. Rather than stepping each increase or decrease in one tenth of a second, perhaps a finer adjustment would have been in milliseconds. This is the adjustment that I have with my AVR to sync the audio with the video, so I know this is a possible increment adjustment. The perfect adjustment was in between -0.4 and -0.5 second,however, this was not possible in one tenth second adjustments. The closest adjustment was with -0.4 second rather than with -0.5 second. So, adjustments in milliseconds could have been very near a perfect sync. Perhaps later versions of MPlayer will offer the adjustment selection in milliseconds. Nevertheless, this is working much, much better than before. Thank you so much. I have spent most of this day researching this problem and you have come up with by far the best solution. This problem goes all the way back to 2010 and possibly beyond for Apple products. There are hundreds of reports documenting out of sync audio/video issues with no solution that works as well as MPlayerX. Even the Beats support staff have no idea of how to resolve the audio/video out of sync.

Audio moves out of sync or alignment with video after moving clip

I have a video clip with it's detached audio on the secondary timeline. The audio has been broken apart so that I can edit each individual audio track. But I still want to keep the audio linked and synced with the video. When I select the audio and video and move the clip, the audio moves out of sync(by a frame or two), and isn't locked directly under the video the way it should be, or the way it was before I moved the clip. I notice this when I zoom in really close and the audio tracks are a frame or two off. In some cases, the audio tracks get increasingly out of sync the more I move the clip. This shouldn't happen when I select everything together. Has anyone ever experienced this or is there a solution to avoid the audio getting out of perfect alignment with the video? Thanks

Yes, it would probably be best to just turn it into a compound clip. I'm relatively new to FCP X, and I'm coming from FCP 7. In FCP 7, I like being able to see both channels of audio under each clip. So, what I do is adjust the audio levels for each channel separately. I might add keyframes to one channel and leave the other channel alone. In FCP X, it seems like the only way to edit or adjust the separate channels is by breaking apart the audio. Then I can see both channels of audio and I can add key frames, etc. So, I just need to be able to see and edit both audio channels, independently.

Audio sync problems with greenscreen I have replaced the camera audio with my zoom recorder audio and it is in sync. When I apply greenscreen the audio goes out of sync. What am i doing wrong?? So frustrating..Thanks, Peter

I have replaced the DSLR audio with audio from my Marantz recorder and it is in sync with the dialogue. I apply green screen and the audio goes out of sync. Cannot seem to make it work. what am I doing wrong? Thanks, Peter

Thanks for the reply. I don't have time for this. is it time to switch to a different editor?

Audio timeline out of sync with audio

I took an audio note using an iphone application called Moe's Notes. I emailed the audio as an attachment to myself. The note is in .caf format but I also generated an .aif version. I dragged the audio onto the timeline in Garageband and it plays, but I noticed that the audio is out of sync with the wave display. Also, the second part of the audio recording plays, but does not visibly show up as a waveform.
Any ideas? I resorted to Audacity to edit my audio.

trash your waveform cache and see what happens when you restart the program.

Audio Video out of sync after Capture

I've read thru the Discussions posted but can't seem to find the exact same problem....
This has happened in both FCP5 and FCP6..
Last nite I captured wedding video into FCP6 from 2 identical cams with identical settings..The 1st Capture (18:00) went OK but the 2nd Capture of the same duration showed a window and transport bar. It stated something to the extent "analyzing audio". It's done this in the past and every time it occurs the audio is exactly 30frames off. The video precedes the audio by 1 second. It's easy to re-sync the two but annoying when it happens.
I'm capturing both videos into the same document so no settings change and the problem is not specific to just one camera. It has happened on both cams. I'm using the same tape deck to capture both videos and the same mini-DV tape brand.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks

To nomadesign: I've not tried that. I use the tape deck to reduce wear on the heads of the camera. If I knew which clips would have this prob then I could use the cam which originally shot the vid. I guess I could go back and re-capture the footage which slipped out of sync using the cam which shot it just for a test.
To 2reverb: the video was captured at 48khz. When I first got the cams they were default set to (is it 34 or 36khz) and i discovered the prob very rapidly so I corrected the cams right then.
Thanks to both of you!!!!

Why does the audio go out of sync on my Apple TV?

Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed that the audio goes out of sync with any streaming video on my Apple TV (3rd gen) after about 20 minutes of usage. I have never had this experience in the past and am not sure why it is happening, but one theory is that it has something to do with AirPlay. I'm pretty sure that this problem only happens after I use AirPlay to connect my Mac to the Apple TV. I'm not sure if this is the exact source of the issue and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and if so, what solutions may be available. Thanks.

Audio video out of sync?

Every movie I have rented and purchased the audio is out of sync with the video. If I pause the movie sometimes it goes back into sync but doesn't last long before it goes out of sync again. I have been trying to resolve this issue for the past week. I have turned off everything on the computer that manages audio, made sure all drivers and software is up to date. I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled. I've set itunes and windows bit rate the exact same and nothing seems to fix the problem. I am running Windows 8 on a new Samsung laptop, previously I was using a Gateway laptop with no problems. From my reasearch the past couple days i see this has been on on going problem with itunes users and I hope someone has a fix. I just rented a movie from Xbox Video and it worked perfectly. I think I am going to have to make the switch to Xbox but I have movies I have downloaded to itunes and would like to watch them.
Any help would be appreicated.

Hello bjwilson22,
I was researching the symptom you describe and reocmmend this article named Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1718
It is pretty length, but also thorough and I feel has the best advice to help troubleshoot the issue.
All the very best,

Audio goes out of sync when i open project on diff macs

i have an iMovie project created on an iMac saved to an external.
I go to open the project up on my macbook and the audio is out of sync.
I go back to my iMac with the same project and it works just fine.
I'm a bit confused because both macs use Mac OS X 10.6.4 and iMovie 8.0.6
what other differences might there be?
any input is appreciated as I'd love to work on projects while out in the field!

Try exporting the iMovie project as a single full quality dv format quicktime file.
I use iMovie6 HD and this is my usual procedure that works well.
Make the movie in iMovie, will involve many separate clips. When finished, export (share) as a single full quality dv format quick time file. When I have an hours worth of smaller projects, I create a new iMovie project and import all of the quicktime .dv files for each separate short project. I add chapter markers in this project, then share with iDVD. I then burn an hours worth of stuff at best quality and distribute to family and friends.
iDVD seems to work better with iMovie source that has fewer clips.
BTW: Are you having problems with standard def or hi def iMovie source. Another part of my procedure is that I take the raw tapes and download the entire thing into one iMovie project. I don't edit or change the footage at all, just want to archive to DVD for posterity. In this case, I want to share the iMovie project with iDVD directly. This has worked OK for standard def projects, but my first hi def project (1080i) that I tried, the sound was out of sync. To fix this, I had to create a regular DV widescreen iMovie project, and drag all the clips into it from the HD project. It took over an hour for my humble mac mini to convert the files, but I was then able to share with iDVD and the finished DVD worked ok.
Hope this helps.

Buffering pauses and audio/video out of sync, single RTMP stream w/ simple embed

Hello,
I am running Flash Media Server on my dedicated CentOS host, and finally connected a single RTMP stream fine and am able to embed and play back the stream, but I am getting constant buffering pauses (approx every 5 secs) and audio/video out of sync by at least 5 seconds. My CPU with Flash Live Encoder is a powerhorse, never over 25% processor or ram usage while streaming, and my upload internet speed is averaging 6-8 mbps which should be more than adequate. I fear the issue is server side, however port 1935 is open and in use, not firewalled on CPU nor the host.
Any suggestions would be great.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply, I am using embed code generated with Flash Media Playback, as follows:
<object width="640" height="480"> <param name="movie" value="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback.swf"></param><param name="flashvars" value="src=rtmpt%3A%2F%2F50.62.40.55%3A1935%2Flive%2Fchristmastime&poster=http%3A%2F%2Fsq uarestream.ca%2Fpics%2Fframe.jpg&autoPlay=true&streamType=live&optimizeInitialIndex=false" ></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="480" flashvars="src=rtmpt%3A%2F%2F50.62.40.55%3A1935%2Flive%2Fchristmastime&poster=http%3A%2F% 2Fsquarestream.ca%2Fpics%2Fframe.jpg&autoPlay=true&streamType=live&optimizeInitialIndex=fa lse"></embed></object>
