Pre8 and audio sync

I have Pre7 and does anyone know if the audio and video sync problem some fokes like my self experenced in Pre7 has been addressed? I know a fix was hdvsplit.

JerryMac,
When one does a Capture via firewire, it is just a copying of the 1's and 0's recorded by the camera. It is exact and unfailing in that.
I'd guess that OOS issues are being introduced elsewhere in the workflow. I have not seen people having issue with the Canon HDV30, but may have missed some. If you have some article links, I'd love to look over them to perhaps refresh my memory, which isn't as good as it once was.
Not sure why PrE would have issues, that HDVSplit would fix. Now, HDVSplit is the Capture utility, mainly for its power, that PrE and PrPro should have, but do not. The same can be said for SceneAlyzer Live for SD material. Adobe should buy their code and incorporate their capabilities into both of their NLE's.
As for any difference in PrE 8, I cannot comment. I know that ATR is doing an extensive investigation of that program, but do not know which cameras he has. If he has, or has access to, a Canon HDV30, maybe he can confirm better performance.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Playback pauses and audio sync issues with live video stream

    I'm seeing playback pauses about every three seconds and audio sync issues with our live demo stream when using the OSMF/Strobe player.  It happens on both our 2Mbps 720p stream and our 480p 750Kbps stream so it does not seem to be related to higher resolution/bandwidth streams.  It also happens if I point directly to a stream asset or if I point to a .f4v with both streams listed for dynamic so it does not seem to be related to dynamic streaming specifically.
    The same live streams play back very well without pauses or audio sync issues in the Akamai's dynamic player and even slightly better with JW 5.2.
    I have viewed the OSMF/Strobe playback on three different laptops of various age (3 months to 2 years) and two are Windows and one is Linux.  I have also tried the various buffering options on the Flash Media Player Setup and Strobe setup and it has not made a noticeable difference.
    To see the stream with the Akamai player, go to:  http://live.kulabyte.com
    To see the stream with the OSMF/Strobe player, go to:  http://live.kulabyte.com/osmf
    I do not have JW set up for public viewing yet, but the two above show the distinct difference.
    We are really hoping to start pointing our customers towards the OSMF player because of the support provided by the community and Adobe, but we have to get the quality of the playback to be acceptable first.
    If someone has ideas on debugging I can PM the actual video assets to you.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    You need to add this setting:
    dynamicStreamBufferTime=8
    The actual value can be higher or lower. The best practice is to use a value that is twice the keyframe distance. Anyway, try different values and see which performs the best for your content.
    I know that the setup page does not contain this option and it is not documented in the UserGuide. We simply missed it. Sorry.
    Also note that the dynamic buffering algorithms are not being used for dynamic streaming content. I tried to explain this here:
    https://sourceforge.net/adobe/smp/wiki/Dynamic%20Buffering/
    Looking forward to your confirmation that this solved your issue.

  • Question about FPS and Audio Sync...

    If I record a program from a broadcast HD source and it's transmitted at 24 FPS and I edit/export it in .wmv format at 30 FPS is it possible that it's causing any audio sync issues I might be having?  Should I be exporting it at 24 FPS?

    Well, you're not likely to be able to get 24p video to work right in Premiere Elements regardless.
    That said, no, the difference in frame rate alone will not cause your audio to go out of sync.
    What you'll more likely see is poor blend of frames in your video. It might look jaggy or fuzzy on output.
    That is IF it works at all. Premiere Elements technically only supports 25 fps PAL and 29.97 fps NTSC.

  • Video and audio sync

    I am currently having issues with the audio for shows and movies being out of sync while playing only through ITunes.  I have Windows 7 and am using the Asus P6T motherboard's Realtek audio.  I don't have any issues playing through windows video player, just iTunes and quicktime.  I've tried all of the FAQ recommendations to include turning off sound enhancements and updating software for motherboard audio.  Does anyone have any other ideas of how to get the audio and video to sync?  Thank.

  • Getting The Video and Audio Synced Up

    I have a the weirdest feeling that the audio and video are not perfectly synced up. It may only be by a frame or two. In final cut pro, I can go frame by frame and hear where the audio should be and correct it. Can this be done in DVD studio pro? Is there any other way to check? It is nothing big, but I would really love some assurance that they are together. I have DVDSP 3.

    DVD SP is not designed for that type of precise editing, just some general things, and you are better off doing all edits outside of DVD SP. Where are you seeing the synch problem?

  • Video and audio sync when viewing clips online

    When viewing clips, like on youtube, the graphics start playing, however there is no sound, only after a few seconds the graphics freeze and the sound that was missing starts playing and the graphics resume when they're in sync again.
    Also when I pause a video and click play the clip will not resume and I have to click the "time bar" and then it will play.
    My 13 MB Pro starts furiously blowing the cooling fan and consuming battery life when viewing clips on most video sites.
    How can I fix these things?
    This already happened before upgrading to Lion, btw.

    Are you capturing this thru the LS? and what is the format you are digitizing? DV? or uncompressed? Would be best I'd think if you don't capture audio and video as separate files too. That leads to problems especially with DV captures.
    How are you monitoring the audio and video? all from computer or? You could be in sync and not know it if you are using computer speakers for monitoring audio when watching video externally for example.
    If you monitor both from the computer and it is in sync, but not when you record to video, I'd suggest that you export a self contained movie of this material and import that for the print to the beta... I'll wager that will keep your sync. If this doesn't help, might want to post this in the AJA KONA forum at http://www.creativecow.net Might be something to do with your LS, not sure but do have the latest drivers installed on it...

  • Video and audio sync is off

    I have a video that was captured using the Hauppauge Win-TV 950Q and the Win TV software package. The file plays just fine in WinTV or using the Windows Media Player, but the timing of the audio and video seem to slip if I import it into Premiere Elements. I am using version 10, so I don't know if this is something that was fixed in a newer version. Over the course of an hour, the audio goes from off by about a second at the beginning to being something on the order of eight seconds behind at the end of an hour. Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks
    -Bob

    thanks for looking! If I knew the answers to all your questions, I probably would know what's wrong and how to fix it. I am not looking to do anything exciting here, just trying to archive a program to a playable DVD. Well - I have it playable, it's just not watchable unless you can deal with badly synced audio.
    Loaded up mediainfo and it says the frame rate is 29.97, but a variable bit rate for video and constant audio.
    I will look into handbrake.

  • Apple TV jerky and audio sync mavericks

    Apple TV with Mavericks, was working fine before update, now it is very jerky and sound does not sync in mirror or extended desktop

    Howdy spyder1100101,
    It sounds like your Airplay is having some performance issues and will not function as expected.
    I want to recommend the troublehsooting steps from the article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
    Troubleshooting performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
    If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express.
    Try the following suggestions:
    Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Turn off Bluetooth on your iOS device by tapping Settings > Bluetooth.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.

  • Quicktime playing back speed, and audio sync

    Hello,
    I'm trying to use QTPro instead of iMovie to digitize ntsc video because it produces a single DV file instead of multiple files in iMovie. This saves the rendering process in iMovie. These files need to be a single video file and are used in a chase computer for audio post work. Typical program lengths are between 1 and 3 hours, sometimes more.
    When playing the files back in QT the audio progressively drifts even though the firewire box has a switch for "locked audio" that supposedly deals with long DV audio drift.
    Another problem that may be related, but certainly can't be good for post work, is that the Movie Info window shows a movie rate of 29.97, correct, but a playing rate of 30. I can't figure out how to get that to play at 29.97.
    One last question - the QT record settings have different resolutions (640xxx?) than the native DV resolution of 720xxx, and seem to have a slightly different pixel aspect ratio as well.
    Any ideas about these issues? It's messed up my workflow for now, as the iMovie solution has an extra step that takes up double the disk space and extra time.
    Digitizing box is a Canopus ADVC-100 with an external 3.5" firewire drive for video, no other apps running at the same time.
    Thanks
    H
    G4-17 Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I'm definitely at 48k/16b, with locked audio on the Canopus.
    Sounds like you've got it covered, then. Not sure what else would be causing the A/V drift then, assuming "lock" circuit is functioning properly.
    I watched the playing rate and it's mostly at 30 with an occasional dip to 29.75, possibly averaging to 29.97. Hopefully it's correctly playing 29.97
    Your upper and lower observed excursions exactly match my own.
    The older projects were indeed done with an early version of iMovie and would segment at just under 10 minutes - the 2G limit.
    Correct. On mine the "just under" 2 GB limit equated to 9'11" for the first break and 9'8" for each additional. Not sure how exact this carryover is between machines and external drives.
    I did a test today using my current version, iMovie HD 5, and it segmented a 2h10min program at just over 1hour per segment. Do you happen to know if the newest iMovie corrects this?
    Am wondering if this test is repeatable and/or consistent between capture of different material. Have noted two instances that seem to cause segmentation and/or total termination of capture. One is a "weak" drive sector that passes read/write tests (i.e. test usually done with multiple but limited re-write attempts) but drops a frame during actual capture and trips termination on my older G4 laptop (using older version of iMovie with preference set to do this). As to current iMovie version (v6.02), would assume this could happen if "automatic scene detection" is turned on and a dropped frame is detected. In addition, if this option is turned on, a "time limit" for capture can then be specified. Can't remember if these preference options were included in previous versions of iMovie. You may want to check on this possibility.
    I can certainly try the Vidi app you mentioned.
    Application is a basic, dedicated, "no frills" utility with fewer "platform limitations" (it works on older platforms/OS) than iMovie. I find it very handy for mobile capture using my old laptop. Here is the VersionTracker link if interested:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18234&page=2
    After updating various things I tried using QTPro recording as a test, and after about 1h50min it crashed, leaving the file unfinished and useless. Is there a reputation with QTPro recording? Is it rumored to be unstable? I'm a bit nervous using it now. I keep my systems streamlined for audio post, so I doubt it's a conflict.
    Tend to consider it "an afterthought" added to the latest version of QT and as such, a "work still in progress." Frame rates have greatly improved with the last few updates but, like you, I still consider it more of a novelty at this time -- handy for some usese but not something I would trust for precision work.
    I solved that by showing package contents of the iMovie project and removing the media clip, a dv file.
    I certainly see no problem with this approach if all you want is access to the "raw" material in a file format and especially if you keep it on the same drive. (I.e., all your are doing here is changing the VTOC pointers to the data and not actually copying and/or moving any vast amounts of data, not to mention, it additionally saves drive space.) Basically, the export/copy approach means re-writing vast amounts of data which is directly related to speed of your external drive, CPU and the speed of your target drive. For some purposes, the creation of a reference file may be handy. But even here, you are usually just postponing an inevitable time delay somewhere else in your work flow.

  • Midi and Audio syncing trouble

    Im creating a song in Logic, and I'm using a bunch of different software instruments at the same time, and with certain ones I am getting a delayed reaction from when the time bar goes over the midi note to when i can hear it. It isnt much, but its enough to make certain instruments a milisecond or two off beat. Is there a way to prevent/fix this?

    Depends how many and how complex the instruments are you're running really. Even though the tracks appear to be firing off all at the same time, they actual fire off one by one in sequence ( albeit extremely fast) so it is a possibility.
    They fire from the top of the arrange downwards in order, so if something going out badly, try moving it up and see if it makes a difference.
    Although these delays are pretty negligible nowadays, they used to happen quite noticeably with external midi if you had a lot of tracks working together.. that's why that delay feature exists in the first place, to compensate for this.

  • Video and audio not in sync. Other answers here do not help.

    My audio and video are not in sync in many streams but some are OK.
    I do not have any extensions, add-ons and I am using the default theme. I have disabled hardware acceleration. I am now running in Safe Mode and the problem persists.
    The video and audio sync for the first few minutes and then they work their way futhter and further apart, usually several seconds out of sync. I don't think this particular situation has been covered in the other posts.

    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • IDVD audio sync problems after Lion upgrade

    Hi all,
    I posted this in the Lion discussion, but thought I might have a go here as well. I'm having problems with iDVD and audio sync as follows...
    I often download files from my Beyonwiz PVR, convert them to mpeg and DV files using MPEG Streamclip (with Quicktime MPEG playback component), then burn a disc with iDVD. Since upgrading to Lion, I notice that the audio in these files, and the burnt DVD in particular, can be slightly out-of-sync with the video. Although the effect is slight, I find it very unacceptable - its like trying to watch something that been badly dubbed. I find it to be a very jarring effect to watch voices and intonation out of sync with the picture.
    I'm not sure where the problem lies - is it Quicktime, MPEG Streamclip, and/or iDVD ? I never had this problem at all with Snow Leopard.
    Fox

    I've discovered that the problem appears to be the conversion of the mpeg file to the DV file. The video/audio goes slightly out of sync using MPEG Streamclip under Mac OS Lion. I never had any problem with Snow Leopard. I'll have to try different conversion methods and see what happens...

  • Problems with Audio Sync and Rendering

    In both problems what happens is NOT consistent. If were, would think was a setting or something I was doing wrong.
    About the rendering problem. I capture either through FCP Log and Capture or through my analog to digital "box", Formac Studio TVR. In both cases record in DV setting. When I then Import these files about 3 out of 4 times they need full rendering. But doing all things the same, there is that 1 out of 4th time where no rendering is needed at all. Does not seem to matter whether I capture through FCP or Foremac. Results seem the same. Like I said to begin with, if was consistent would figure that is just how the program is. But due to the time it takes to do a render, sure would be nice if could be avoided some way.
    Regarding the Audio Sync. At times, maybe 1 out 10 times, the audio is bad. It begins at the beginning of the film being out of sync maybe two or three frames. But then every 10 minutes of film it progressively get's worse, losing a good 6 to 10 frames as one goes. I can fix by doing a lot of cutting and then moving the film around till it is in sync again, but as you can imagine takes a LOT of extra work. Any ideas as to why this is happening and what could be done to prevent in future??
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    I've used flip4mac for about a year and have had no problems with it. I mostly use it to export preview versions for windoze people. The quality is very good, though it takes significantly longer to export than a similar-quality quicktime movie.

  • MPEG4 video from imovie is sluggish and audio out of sync

    Hi y'all,
    I am new to this. So I need some hand holding here. I am working with video that was exported in MPEG4 video from imovie on a mac.
    The Camera I used is a Sony FX7 HD camera with SD tape.
    So Now I am trying to edit the video using Premiere Pro CS3 creative suite.
    Import into CS3 is fine. Playing the imported video in the source monitor is fine as well. All looks well.
    However, here are the challenges I am having:
    1. When I try to play it in the Program monitor its very sluggish. Audio plays fine but picture lags behind.
    2. And once I edit the the video and try to export it as flash video or as a windows media, the video and audio are out of sync.
    The video is choppy as well.
    Details: source video is 720x480 and trying to export to 320x240
    My project details are:
    DV-NTSC standard 48khz
    Video is 10 min long

    OK, not my choice of workflows, but... I assume that the MP4's are H.264 encoded. There are many of these. Three common ones are Lead, MainConcept and Apple. Some find that one works better than the others. These are not the ONLY versions, but are common. You might want to explore others, depending on which one you have installed. G-Spot can tell you which you have.
    Next, you can Render your Timeline, to get things as smooth as possible.
    Note that the MP4 files are heavily compressed already. Quality has been lost, and there is nothing that can be done about that. When you Export to, say DVD, you will recompress that material, and loose even more.
    In the future, have your Mac-person do the Capture to .MOV [Animation CODEC]. Or, do it yourself to DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio.
    Not sure of any other ways to get the MP4's playing more smoothly. Much will depend on both your CPU and on your system's I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, controller type and how they are utilized.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
