Photo Booth Audio and Video are out of sync?

Hi. So there is this glitch that when I take videos on Photo Booth the audio and video are out of sync. This started after I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and since I use Photo Booth a lot, I really do care. Is there anyway that I can fix this until Apple fixes this bug? Thanks.
Extra Info: The first video I took was not out of sync, but after that they got more and more out of sync.

I've read all the forums. It's a big problem for most Photobooth users, Apple acknowledges it, but does not yet have a fix.
The best solution I have come up with is to dump Photobooth (I know - it was a great program, wasn't it? But so was Hypercard) and use Quicktime to make videos. You'll have to spend a little more work savings or exporting, but at least Quicktime is free.
Just open Quicktime Player and under the File menu you'll see "Record New Movie."
The downward slide continues...

Audio and Video are Out of Sync

Hello,
This seems to be a reoccurring problem for me and I'd love some help getting it resolved once and for all. After capturing footage, the audio and video are out of sync in the clip AND when I drag it to the timeline. When I go through each part, it looks like the video hesitates often, which seems to be causing the misalignment of audio. But, once it is moved into alignment, it goes out of sync again throughout the remainder of the one hour video.
I'm capturing through a Canon Optura 50 Mini DV and editing with FCP 6.0.1. I have checked that the audio mode is set to 16 bit on the camera, and the capture settings have the audio rate for 48 KHz.
This same problem occurred when I was capturing another event last week.
PLEASE advise. It won't get aligned even if I take the hours and hours to move the audio left and right frame by frame.

I am still wondering why you're recommending that I use an external drive for this project.
Because the internal has more than enough to do running Mac OS X and the applications. It is constantly writing files. While DV video is at the lower end of the scale, it is still asking a lot of the drive's read and write head.
I always used external drives, but we had many problems with delays and processing problems.
At the very least, you should be using FireWire external drives. USB is no good for video as it delivers data in packets, not the sustained stream that video needs. The drives must also be formatted as Mac OS Extended. Windows FAT 16 of FAT 32 formatted drives have file size limits of 2 and 4 GB respectively. Anything larger is segemented and can cause problems on a Mac.

Do you have fix for Photo Booth Audio and Video are not syncing properly, Do you have fix for Photo Booth Audio and Video are not syncing properly

My audio and video are not syncing properly. There is a lag from the audio to the video. Does anyone have a permanent fix for Photo Booth where the Audio and Video are not syncing properly?

If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads. You aren't the only one having this problem.

Audio and Video are out of sync after time remaping.

After I did the time remap,audio and video are completely out of sync.
I don't know what I did wrong.Please HELP.
I did a short video(43seg) to explain myself better
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0PQEoZvGbk

ha. having the video is killer. there are a couple ways to do this. i'd recommend using the blade tool (tap b twice to get the one that cuts all tracks), make a cut through the audio and the video at the points where you want it sped up, then right click the clip itself (which should be linked with audio and video) and then just set it to whatever speed you want. it'll have the same effect. you might have to adjust boundaries or you can select ripple.
alternatively, it looks like you just needed to do the same thing to the audio that you did to the video in that clip you uploaded. you can always relink things by selecting the audio and video and hitting cmnd+L.
hope that helps.

Audio and video are out of sync when exported.

I've been trying to export a clip from a sequence in fcp. I've marked in and out points, and use the export using quicktime option. And each time, the audio is out of sync with the video.

Yea it still won't let me post images, so here are the settings:
Sequence Settings: Frame size: 1920x1080 HDTV 1080i 16:9
Pixel aspect ratio: square
field dominance: upper.
Editing timebase: 30.
Quicktime settings:
compressor: H.264.
Quality: 100%
Audio Settings:
Rate: 48kHz
Depth: 16-bit
Config: Channel Grouped
Item Properties: comicsonspot.MP$
Type: Clip
Creator: Quicktime Player
Size: 1.7 GB
Tracks: 1V, 2A
Vid Rate: 60 fps
Frame size: 1280x720
Compressor: H.263
Ok, there's a bunch more settings, let me know if you need any other info. Thanks again!

Upon export, audio and video are out of sync.

While editing, my cuts are lined up with beats in the music, but after export they shift approximately 5 frames, making my cuts appear later.
The Sequence settings match the clip settings at 23.976 fps, and i've tried just about everything I can think of to fix the issue.
I've reverted back to previous Autosaves of the project, tried numerous export settings, separate and new projects, different machines, but nothing seems to work.
At this point I'll take any and all suggestions.

Please UN-check the "Frame Blending" box, that is only used when changing frame rates. The source and export are both 23.976, so that can only cause issues (blurring between frames with motion). Also uncheck "Max Render Quality", that is used for SCALING, such as 1080 to 720, or HD to SD. Your source and destination are both 1080p.
Rule of thumb - do NOT check boxes unless you really know what they do and the results they provide - the DEFAULT settings are there for a reason ;-)
Also, I never use "Match Source" - rather, figure out where the video is going (Blu-ray, web, device, etc.) and find an appropriate PRESET - there are tons of them under "H.264".
I'm assuming the video source is also 23.976? If source doesn't match sequence settings, that can be an issue with sync.
Try exporting entire sequence rather than In to Out. Try EXPORT rather than Queue.
Last thing, what is the source of the video footage? Some phones use "Variable Bitrate" recording and Premiere is not equipped to deal with that very well.

Audio and video are out of sync in I Movie.

Thanks for the last tip, miT. Everything worked out great transferring the TS files through to IMovie. The only hassle now is that the audio precedes the video by about 5 seconds. Is there a way of fixing this, or should i be transferring smaller bits (i had a chunk of about 2 hours, of which only the last 5 minutes is where the audio matters. The stuff before that was all old 8mm stuff from the forties & fifties). I'll try to monkey around with it some more.

With your big 2 hour clip in MPEG Streamclip, move the cursor to the start of the 5 minutes that "matters" and press i. Then move the cursor to the end of this 5 minute section, and press o.
Then File/Export Using QuickTIme in Apple Intermediate Codec. See if that helps.

Photo Booth audio and video out of sync

Hi everyone.
I tried recording a video three times today on Photobooth, and every time, the audio and video are out of sync. Does anyone have any solutions as to how I can fix this? Its ever since I downloaded Mountain Lion.
Thankyou.

HI, Jay Rhymes,
I'm having the same problem and took your advice.
Strangely, the first video I recorded in Photobooth after I changed the settings did sync audio and video.
But then I deleted that test and tried another, and it was a little off.
I deleted that test and tried a third time, and it was way off.
So if I close Photobooth and open it, the first video will apparently sync fine but subsequent ones won't.
Anyone else having this strange difficulty?

Updated FCP 5.1 to 5.1.2 - Audio and video now out of sync

I just noticed in my software update that FCP needed to be updated. So I updated the program.
Now when I open exisiting projects the audio and video are out of sync even though they appear perfectly in sync in the timeline. Has anyone else had this problem? The problem also persists when cutting clips in the timeline. I will use the razor tool to make the cut and I cut the clip on a ceratain frame in the timeline and then in the viewer the clip was really cuts a second or two later. Does anyone know what is going on?
Very furstrating to say the least. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Clay

Photo Booth - audio and video not syncing

I was making some videos on Photo Booth and the audio doesn't start playing until 5 seconds after the video starts! Do you know if there is any way to fix this or is it a software issue? I have tried resetting the computer but it didn't help.
Thanks for your help!

In Photo Booth, right-click on the video and either Export or Reveal in Finder. Either way, then open and play it with QuickTime. Is audio and video still out of sync?

Audio and video is out of sync!

when I record audio and video together with my isight built in camera on my macbook pro with either quicktime pro, photobooth or imovie, when I play the clip back the audio and video is out of sync! like watching a kung foo movie. I've tried everything, I've taken my book into see a "Genius" at thew mac store and he said to me that the isight is made really for video conferencing and is really not supposed to be fully in sync? Uhh thats weird, so mac makes a product and puts it on all their laptops and it only sort of works?? I've been on the phone with apple care, did a bunch of things like disk utility repairs on permisions, then used the startup disk to do another permisions repair. I've uninstalled quicktime pro and re-installed it a couple of times? If anyone could give me some advice that would be great! I'm a little frustrated as you can probably see! thanks
cheers

Welcome to Apple Discussions, m
See if any of the suggestions offered here reduce your sync quality problem enough:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7089133&#7089133
If, after making certain that your Mac is running well, has plenty of free space on the correct drive, etc., your sync is still not close enough, you can manually re-sync any parts that are unacceptable to you using either QT Pro or iMovie.
If you check carefully, you will see that not even pro video is always perfectly synced. It is a lot of work to get things "nearly perfect," but, with a bit of practice, it doesn't take long to get things "close enough" for me.
I use the same simple process with either QT Pro or iMovie, so you can use whichever you find easiest. Whichever you use, keep the original AV clip safe and *_work on a copy_* in case something goes wrong.
If you do not already know how, here is my process, but you can adjust for your workflow:
(1) Copy of the audio track.
(2) Add the audio track copy to the AV file.
(3) Silence the original audio and work on audio copy.
(4) Insert small blank audio clips (or split and slide if using iMovie) if needed to make the audio later.
(5) Cut small bits out of quiet parts (or split and shorten in iMovie) if needed to make audio sooner.
(6) Repeat until satisfied and delete any tracks no longer needed.
(7) Save the adjusted AV file.
(8) Enjoy!

When streaming Vid with flash player, audio and video are not in sync

With Flash 11.6, audio and video are not in sync. Video is slower. Using Firefox 20.0.1

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.

K900 audio and video are not in sync.

Hi All,
New entry in this forum. I have this K900 phone and i think its an amazing piece or art. But not without its problems though. A perennial issue is when I am playing a video file, initially it plays smoothly but eventually the audio and video are not in sync. Dragging the slider left and right or pausing and playing agian only worstens the issue.
Have any body ever faced such issues? If yes kinldy share a solution if any.

Photo Booth Audio and Video not in sync!

I am a YouTube musician. When I go to record I find it easiest to use the video feature in Photo Booth. However, ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion my audio and video in my videos has been off of one another. They start off together but by the end of the video the audio is ahead of the video. When I went to try and see where it messes up I found that the video jumps frames creating almost a transition effect. I don't know how to fix this and would really like your help!
