Out of Sync Audio after capturing video

I have a video that I captured that the audio is in sync during the capture by using audo preview but, when view it in the view window, the words are out of
sync from her lips.
The video was recorded on my sony pd150, 48k audio, and Im using prostudio2 on my new quad core.
Havent had this problem before.
What should I check or do?
David

Double check that the audio is actually 48khz (Aud Rate) and 16bit (Aud Format). You can check this in item properties or in a browser column.
Captured clips have been known to come in with slightly skewed Aud Rates...like 47.998khz or 48.001khz, etc. If this is the case, just export as aiff 48k/16b and relink with the original video.
Might see what your Main Menu pulldown lists under...Final Cut Pro / System Settings / Playback Control / Frame Offset.
My frame offset is at '4'. This gives me sync while I'm working, but when capturing, you see it as out of sync.

Out of sync audio file with video

I have a audio clip that was recorded seperatly from video. I add the audio track which is voice to the video that I have of a person giving speach. I line them up where speach begins and is in sync but say 10 mins into it the clips are out of sync! They should both be in the same time but they are not, how do I fix this?

Once you've determined answers to David's queries,
you will have a better idea of ways to fix
this...i.e. if the audio rates are not aiff and
exactly 48.0Khz/16bit, you could export the audio
into a new file with those parameters and replace
current audio with this file.
Actually, I tried that last night as well after reading this forum. I sent the good audio (aif) to SoundTrack Pro and resampled the file at 48khz to match the sequence settings. Unforunately, this still did not fix the problem.
I also looked at changing the base timing rate from 29.97fps to 30, but I coudn't see a way to change this. I tried changing it from the Advanced settings from the Sequence Settings Dialog, and I can change to 30, but it then gives an error message that it cannot do that.
The idea of a speed change is one I hadn't thought of, but I am doubtful of the results. I seem to be either stuck with bad audio or arduously cutting up the audio every 5 minutes to get it back in sync at those intervals.... I wish I understood why this is happening. It doens't make sense to me.
I still think it has to do with drop frame/non-drop frame, since I was told the whole point of 29.97fps was t solve an audio sync problem. When the audio isn't coming from a video source recorded or captured at 29.97fps then we are going to have sync problems. The question is, now to get it back into sync with these external audio source files, without a lot of headache.

M2t (mpeg2 layer2 audio) Out Of Sync audio after upgrade to cs5

Hi Everyone,
We use JVC GYHD201 Cameras daily - they produce MPEG T/S files that worked fine in CS4.
I am running win 7 Ultimate 64 on an intel Skulltrail MB w 16 gig of ram, 2 x 9775 quad core processors and a ati 4870x2 video card with 2 gigs of ram.
Here is the chain of events,
Lots of projects in cs4, no transcoding files work straight from the camera's DVR. (720p30)
I decide to CS5
I deactivate CS4 Install CS5 - CS5 trial works with all my projects and reads the now offending m2t files fine, works great.
I open AE CS4, - I get sorry to interrupt but enter a serial number or go to trial mode. I select trial mode.
Now, CS5 can no longer import the files.
I read about needing a full license for many formats, considering cs5 a nice upgrade, fork out the dough.
After entering serial numbers and restarting files import fine, BUT sound is out of sync by a 1-2 seconds and expotentially as the video plays out.
Files play fine in vlc, media player etc.
Codec Sniper shows all /cs4/mainconcept codecs as broken
I deinstall CS4/ CS5 and reinstall cs5 only, Same problem
I deinstall cs5, delete every folder with adobe on it in /user/ and prog files reinstall, same problem (cs4 installation fix)
I deinstall, delete all folders and create a new user install to that user, same problem (cs4 installation fix)
Reinstall quicktime ,...
I buy the Mainconcept mpeg2 64bit codec pack, same problem
Converting the video to MONO fixes the out of sync. -go figure.
Unfortunate, our operators are too lazy to shut off the second mic so quite often I have to copy left or right channel. Also, I have many left right recordings with 2 mics, this is not a solution I can live with. (Kudos to Mr. Jolly of Adobe video tech support in India for the Mono fix)
These same files open fine in a machine that has cs4 and cs5 installed on it,
want to get into transcoding to fix it, does anyone know who to force the adobe splitter to use the mainconcpt codecs I just bought or to force the use of whatever codecs are supposed to be included in cs5?
Any ideas would be appreciated.this has gone on for 3-4 days now and I am quickly falling behind on the work flow.

I am wondering is anyone can tell me where CS5 is looking for it's codecs??, it doesn't seem to be using windows

Out of sync directly after capture

Hi
Though New to FinalCut I'm trying to learn. I've got stuck with a situation
I can't handle:
After capturing material. Recorded in SP-mode and 16-bit sound. When
double clicking on audio to get the wave form in Canvas window I get a
significand miss match of Left / Right sound track.
Is there anything I can do to prevent this.
There are no echo/sync problem when same material is imported to iMovie !
used environment: dG5 2GHz, OS X.4.6, QT 7.1 and FCE 3.5
Yours most confused Bengt W

Hi and thanx for Your thoughts.
No just plain DV-PAL and Camera is on 16-bit.
Intermediat solution was to:
- start a new FCE project
- Capture sequence
- open main project
- drag and drop sequence into this one
Worked but rather confusing.
I think Capture to be THE most basic function in an editing program
henche it would be the last function to go bananas.
I was also recommended to delete pref - FCE.plist file. Will do that.
Yours Bengt W

PLEASE HELP ME.

Ok thank you SHANE for your answers.
I didnt explain the situation complete, sorry.
This is the story:
Im a new in a MAC WORLD'S and of course in a FCP too.
I never edited in HD (HDV1080i SONY HDR-FX1)
But i have to work ...
I HAVE a G5 QUAD CORE 2.5 512 MB RAM
and i buyed final cut studio 5
I installed the FCP Version 5.1 and i dont have any problem with captures HD FILES, editing or playing in FCP version 5.1 ** BUT*
I updated FCP 5.1 to 5.1.2 and the problems appaers
only in HD 1080i FILES the audio is out of sync video in a VIEWER and CANVAS
Some people says me that problem is RAM problem (may be i ahve 512MB)
But i think
1. May be is a configuration problem OR
2. Software problema

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.

Dropped frames or out-of-sync audio

Using Sony HDR-FX1 and FCE-HD is set to DV-NTSC. I've also tried DV-NTSC Firewire Basic. I've been trying various suggestions I've found in the Discussions to cure dropped frames that prevent me from capturing and out-of-sync audio making footage I do capture useless. Mac is running 10.4 with 5.5 GB of RAM and dual 2 GHz G5.
I'm capturing to my main hard drive which has plenty of space - when I'm done editing, I archive old footage on an external drive.
"Abort capture on dropped frames" is currently checked. Lately, this means I can't get more than a few seconds without the capture stopping. This never used to happen, now it happens all the time no matter what tapes I'm capturing from.
If I uncheck it, the audio on the captured footage is out of sync. Over time, as I've been trying to trouble shoot this using the Discussions, my projects remain unfinished and deadlines are looming sooner and sooner.
If someonce could please help me I'd be very grateful.

Hi(Bonjour)!
Did you shoot in DV or HDV ?
Did you try to capture HDV with Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 (or 50 for europe)?
Does you downconvert HDV shooted to DV upon capturing from camcorder ?
DV-NTSC 48 kHz is the way to go with downconverted material.
Does your DV audio setting is 16 bit on FX1 ? (HDV is a fixed one).

Out of sync audio markers

Why there are not out of sync audio warnings in final cut x?

Not sure this is the best place to ask questions about why 'features' are not in the application, but to give you a genral answer from the manual about what I assume you are pondering:
By default, Final Cut Pro imports audio and video from the same source into one clip. You can easily detach the audio from a video clip so that you can edit the audio clip separately in the Timeline.
This means that unless you detached the audio yourself, the clip is treated as one source. If you detach it, you are own your own.
If you are wanting to request a feature of some sort for Final Cut Pro X, try this Feedback Form.
Best of Luck!

Out of sync audio six channels

Dear All,
I have not had a problem with this before, but suddenly I have out-of-sync audio when mixing six channels in FCP. Using my Canon XL1-S, I recorded 4 channels of audio in 12 bit mode, 32 khz. I then added another two channels of audio from a separate Sony digital recorder into the FCP edit. First I set the sequence settings to 32khz and ran everything in 32 bit mode, converting all of the audio through Quicktime pro. The 4 channels from the Canon XL1-s are in perfect sync, but the two channels from the Sony digital are playing at a faster speed and are drifting as the movie progresses...the length is 1:25:00. I then went back and converted everything to 48khz and changed the Sequence settings accordingly, but the Sony audio is still drifting and playing more slowly than the other two channels. What am I doing wrong and how can I bring all of the audio together? Thanks. I'm working with FCP 6.0.6 on a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.6. Barbara Smits

What is the format of these Sony files?
. . . the Sony audio is still drifting and playing more slowly than the other two channels.
Unless you are timecode locked between devices, it seems reasonable to me that there will be sync drift if the Sony external recorder is not locked to the video signal.
You might try selecting the Sony audio clips on the timeline and adjusting the speed slightly, such as 101% and see if that gets you closer to sync.
Hope this helps

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.

Some audio out of sync in after Export

Can using the built in Audio tools like Loudness, or adjusting the sound levels in the waveform cause the audio to go out of sync?
I'd say not...but that is what seems to be happening.
I have a 2hr 30 projet for a DVD.
All individual clips captured on Canon 5d 3 at 48khz 25fps
Project is 48khz 25fp, as set automatically when the clips were first dropped on the timeline
One particular group of 3 clips, seems to randomly and suddenly loose sync in the middle, sometimes at the start, some times in the centre, then often it comes back at the end.
Of the whole 2 hr 30 project only this bit is giving issues, all other clips have been edited in the same way, and are similar lengths,some longer, some shorter, all stay in sync. Max clip length about 8 minutes
In the timeline the audio stays perfectly in sync
I have re made the sequence of three clips , totalling 24 minutes long, probably 6 times now. and each time after adjusting the audio levels the exported audio has variable sync,
Also re imported the footage and tried again
No added audio tracks, just a single compound clip containing three complete clips, with the ends trimmed
Audio has not bee detached from the video.
All I am doing is adjusting the audio levels,
Hum On
Noise reduction to about 2%
Loudness On :
Amount 20%
Uniformity 15%
First noticed this yesterday on a DVD burnt using "Send To Compressor" Create DVD
Also happens using the in built Share, to DVD, ot share To master File
Output settings are also 48khz and 25fps
If I do an export of the clip With no audio corrections, it is fine. But as son as I try and adjust the audio levels, it goes out of sync.
I'd half suspected I had somehow dragged the audio in the timeline, when adjusting the levels, but no. Go back and play the clip in the timeline and it is perfect. But Share that compound by dropping in to a New project, export as master and Playback in QT and the audio goes out of sync after I have done a levels correction. Un-corrected ( for level only ) audio stays in sync.
o master file that single co

How are you exporting? The first quicktime export option or quicktime conversion? What are your settings for the export?
Did you capture with device control with abort capture on dropped frames and create new clip on timecode break enabled?

Out of sync audio when trying to capture from digital 8 camera to quicktime, please help

Just trying to capture hi 8 tapes using a sony digital 8 dcr-trv355e pal into quicktime;
great clear video but audio becomes out of sync like a bad kungfu movie,
contacted apple they tried to help, but they dont really understand issue
there are lots of people out there that are trying to digitise old analog video;
I have fcpx and imovie they both play the old video via the digital 8 camera but cannot capture;
that is why using quicktime; thanks!!

Yes i think its something to do ith the fact its a wmv file, when i use mpeg footage it exports fine.
basically, no matter how long the video, the video is out of sync...its weird
i've decided the best thing to do is leave quicktime and export using windows media instead, that seems to give me a better looking picture witha small file size anyway
thanks for your help though!

N8 Video editor.. out of sync audio

Every time i try and join 2 or more videos taken with my N8 using the video editor, the audio gets out of sync after the first video.
Has anyone else notice this?

I'm really shocked that this issue hasn't been resolved with the Belle Update. They've made some good changes to the video editor, now allowing you to save a project before you're finished, etc. However, I can't understand how they haven't spotted and resolved this problem by now. Anyone from Nokia care to respond? This really does ruin an otherwise very promising piece of software!
