OMF Import out of sync

I've got a full length feature I've done in Final Cut (90 minutes). There are 10 tracks of audio. Four dialogue, two sound, and four music.
I exported an OMF out of Final Cut of all the tracks, and then imported it into Soundtrack. But, while in SoundTrack, some of the clips are off. It's like the clips are in sync for a few minutes, then out of sync for a few minutes, then back in sync for a few minutes, then back out, etc. It's like this all the way through the movie.
I'm using OMF because eventually, the ten tracks of audio will move into ProTools.
Has anyone experienced this? I need to know if this...
1. Is the problem with FCP OMF export?
2. Is the problem with Soundtrack OMF import?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I have had some simailer issues exporting OMF's out of FCP 6.0.1. I never had an issue with sync when i was exporting omf's out of FCP 5.1.4. I would normaly give my omf to my audio guy and he would mix in protools. Now I have him using Soundtrack Pro 2 to mix and we found sync issues with importing the omf's. I called Apple Pro support and the weren't much help other than to say omf's are cluncky.
So I asked my audio guy to import the newly created OMF from fcp 6.0.1 into pro tools to see if this is a FCP issue or a STP issue. He is going to try that tonight and I will let you know what he finds out.
As for the current sync issue I have found that if you export your OMF out of fcp 6.0.1 and uncheck the 'include crossfade transitions' the sync issues seem to go away when you then import that new OMF into STP 2. So my guess is that it is a crossfade transition issue with STP 2. In the past I have always kept that checked and there were no problems in pro tools.
I hope this helps a bit.

  • Sony HDR-HC3 1080i imports out of sync to iMovie

    My old DV camcorder imported into iMovie 6.0.2 just fine. Have just bought the new SONY HDR-HC3E HDV handycam - component set to 1080i/576i and HDV/DV converter set to off.
    Created new iMovie project and selected video format HD 1080i. iMovie sees the camera okay but when i press play control or import control, iMovie tells me it is previewing or importing iMovie content at 1/2 or 3/4 speed. Picture in iMovie window is clearly moving slower than picture on camcorder screen. When i press pause or stop and review clip that has been imported into iMovie it plays back with the sound out of sync. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Hi kosmo
    Most obvious thought.
    - is Your Camera set to 12-bit sound or does it have LP/EP mode (long/extended) that
    records more minutes on a standard tape than normal play.
    - should be 16-bit sound and SP (standard play) mode.
    If this is relevant to Your situation !

  • Video's audio out of Sync once imported to Encore CS6

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm having some issues with Encore CS6 on my iMac running  OS X 10.9.5.
    I'm trying to burn some video that i've captured off of VHS using Elgato Video Capture. It outouts the files as .mp4
    The videos play fine outside, but as soon as I import them into Encore the audio becomes out of sync. I've burned many VHS to DVD's and for some reason the problem seems to be recent.  There out of sync in the timeline, preview, and once burned.
    I even tried using Adobe media encoder to convert the .mp4 to MPEG-2 outside of Encore and the audio was still out of sync. I even tried cutting a bit of the audio off at the front because it seem to be just a little slower, and it worked for the first 5 minutes then it became un-synced again.
    Does anyone have any idea's as to whats going on? Or has experienced this problem?
    Thanks,
    Angela

    Hi Stan,
    Unfortunately it wouldn't let me selected the tree view. I did find a text view that has way more information. As for the length of the Audio and Video lengths there both 1h 23mn.
    And below is for the MPEG-2
    Thanks for all your help!

  • When I export a AAF file from Protools 9 and Import the file into Logic ProX the drum track is out of sync.  I created the drum loop using NI Maschine.  Has anyone else seem this??

    When I export an AAF file/project from Protools 9 using an external drive and import the AAF into Logice Pro X the drum track does not play correctly.  It is out of sync with the rest of the track.  I created the drum loop as a plugin using Native Instruments Maschine. Has anyone else had this problem??  Also how would I go about exporting the midi tracks from the Protools session.  The midi track does not show when the file is imported to Logic Pro X.  The midi data should export with the AAF file correct??

    Are you using any plugins in Logic?
    In Preferences/Audio  under the General tab, how do you have the plug-in-latency compensation set?

  • Imported Video plays audio out of sync in PPro

    Imported C-Span file using Houlo. I converted it to MP4 using Houlo.  Plays well.  Using Gspot it plays at 23.976 fps which Premiere Pro correctly identifies.  However when I play the two hour file in the Source monitor at the one hour mark the audio is badly out of sync.  I started a new project and only pulled up this video to try to make sure there were no other settings to affect this. I want to pull a couple of quotes.  Where am I going wrong here?

  • Why is the audio on my video getting out of sync when it is imported into itunes?

    Hello,
    I have videos in the MP4 Format, and have imported them into itunes. However, during playback in itunes, the audio gets more and more out of sync as the video plays. By the end of the film the audio can be 5-6 seconds out!
    What's strange is that the source file, played with quicktime or Windows media player, is fine and works perfectly.
    Why is the audio stretched once it is imported?
    Thanks,
    James

  • Sound import to 25 fps sequence is always out of sync and need rendering!!!

    Anyone know why an aif sound file from Pro Tools imported to 25 fps sequence is always out of sync and needs rendering? It is like FCP is converting it to another freq. when it is 48k already! I do this all the time with NTSC and 23.98 projects, what is up with the 25 frame seq.??
    Thanks, Mark

    I know that things need to be at 48K this would not matter anyway if it was 44.1 FCP would do the conversion and not make it out of sync in an NTSC Timeline, but a PAL timeline FCP screws with the sound file. The files came from pro Tools, the industry standard should mixing.
    I put them through Sound Track Pro and it did not help.

  • Out of Sync when importing rendered sequence

    This is the first time I've had this happen and haven't been able to solve the problem yet and haven't found any solutions yet through searching. Using CS5.5, I'm building a show consisting of 7 or 8 already rendered sequences. All seem fine when put together, but one sequence is thrown way out of sync when I import it. The file plays fine otherwise and it isn't until it's imported into premiere that the problem occurs. I've tried re-rendering several times and get the same out of sync problems. And it eventually gets wildly out of sync, not just a few seconds. The properties of the clip are:
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 1.5 GB
    Image Size: 1920 x 820
    Frame Rate: 23.976
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 00:04:23:09
    Average Data Rate: 6.0 MB / second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
    This is the same as all the other rendered/imported sequences. I'm at a loss here. Is there anyone who can help steer me to solving this?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Just so that everyone is on the same page, when you say "rendered," is it safe to assume that you mean that that file was Exported, and then is being Imported into a new Project?
    Good luck,

  • AIFF's imported are always out of sync and need to be rendered!!!!!

    I have had this problem for years, has anyone figured out hoe to get sound files that are in sync in pro Tools and in Sound Track Pro to be in sync in FCP??
    This is the strangest thing that you can not import files into a PAL session without a red line needing to be rendered and without the audio drifting!!
    Any ideas? Thanks, mark

  • DV import - audio is out of sync 3 frames

    This never happened to me in FCP, so curious as to why audio is out of sync 3 frames...
    Footage is DV/NTSC 48K/16 bit, (footage is not shot w/this camera but) I am importing with my SONY hdr-hc7 (as usuall). 
    Thanks

    Hi, thank you for your responses...
    I know the sync on the actual tape is fine because I also captured into FCP to compare, and the audio was fine there... I also played back directly on a TV from the tape, and it was also okay. I noticed more when I actually exported my edited spot viewed in QT player, and it was out of sync. That is actually where It was most noticible... Then I opened a captured clip directly in QT Pro 7 and it was out of sync. I then imported the clip that I captured via Premier into FCP, and again out of sync...
    This has never happened in FCP in my many years of using it... I tihnk it may be a Premier Bug, as I searched and found some similar sounding issues.
    Or perhaps some setting was wrong, who knows. I don't know how much longer I will be capturing DV but if there is a fix out here it would be great. And its not a huge issue, but it is rather cumbersome having to re-adjsut each clip by 3 frames.

  • My audio goes out of sync after import

    I have a bunch of masters of 1h documentaries that I've done using Adobe Premiere CS6. I've exported the masters using exactly the same specs:
    Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ), 23.98fps, 1920x1080p, 48kHz, 16b, PCM audio.
    I have to do some changes on the masters of these shows. They all play fine on several players like VLC, Quicktime, Mpeg Streamclip, etc. However after I import the masters into Premiere Pro CC, 3 out of 10 shows get the audio gradually out of sync, even on the source monitor before I put them on a timeline. The behaviour continues even after I place them on a timeline.
    The project settings are the same as the masters and so are the sequence settings. I've tried to recreate the project, delete and re-import, duplicate the file and import that, and no matter what I do the same 3 masters go out of sync after the import.
    I've tried to find a solution in many forums and despite noticing that several people have the same issue, no one has a valid solution for my problem.
    I cannot go back to CS6 since my company updated their systems to CS7 so I can't even cross check.
    Any suggestion will be most welcome.
    Thanks in advance peeps.
    NJ

    Couple of suggestions.
    First, rather than opening the Master export, go back to the original project.  That should open fine in CC.
    Second, with a CC subscription, you do have access to the full CS6 suite.

  • In Premiere Pro 2014 imported audio skips and is out of sync - version 7.2.2 was ok

  • Importing Captured Video from XSplit. Audio/ Video Out Of Sync

    So, I have looked all over the Adobe site before posting this question. When I import video (regardless of using the file>import or dragging the file into Pr6 directly) the audio and video desync really really fast.
    I've seen some thins all over, but it seems people are dealing with old vhs files, and iphones. That certainly isn't the case here.
    I recorded my files through XSplit Broadcaster. It was a local recording, nothing livestreamed. I have never had issues with Pr6 or any sync issues before. When I view the file before importing, in windows media player, ebverything is perfect. Everything starts and stops at the same time, every action comes with a sound spot on. Nothing is out of sync. However, when I plug the file into Pr6, the playback goes mental. So, i figured that I could just encode the file, and maybe it was just a playback issue. This is very much NOT the case. When I encose the video it desn't get any better. This shows me it's definitely not just a playback bug, but something with Pr6.
    First of all, is this isolated to the most recent version? I havent recoeded in a month or 2, but I've never had any issues sending xsplit mp4 files through Pr6. Definitely not with audio/ video desync. If anyone could help me out here, i would be more than greatful. I don't have any leads because as mentioned already, everyone else was dealing with iphone videos or old VHS files. Mine are all Mp4 files, recorded locally and directly through XSplit Broadcaster, and the video plays perfectly fine in windows media player. The only thing I have to go off of, is something about constant/ variable frame rate. But again, I have never experienced this issue before through any xsplit recordings. In the meantime, I'm off to test other samples.
    I don't know if it helps, but the video in question is roughly 40 mintes long give or take. It's one of the longest videos I've has Pr6 process, but it sahould by no means be an issue. I have 16GB of ram available, and 9-10 are dedicated souly to Pr6 and it's encoder.
    I can not stress enough that I have never had any issues before over the past almost a year of using Pr6 to edit my videos. PLEASE respond only if you have potential ways to help me, not just for discussion points.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. I don't have a lot of free time, so I need this issue resolved as fast as humanly possible. Time is money, as they say.
