Quicktime .mov is Out of Sync on My Flash Drive

I have a 8GB HD Quicktime .mov file on my desktop that plays perfectly fine. However, every time I transfer that file to my 16GB flash drive and play it back on the flash drive, the movie is about one second OUT OF SYNC. I have tried this three times with the same results. Would appreciate any help anyone could offer. Thanks.

what is in an audio layer? if there's a sound attached, then its sync property must be set to stream if you want the display and sound to sync.
have you changed all your sound's to stream and, if so, has that solved the sync problem.

How do I move files from my desktop to a flash drive?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Open a Finder window by pressing the Finder icon in the Dock, and choose the flash drive in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices". Then, drag the file from the Desktop to the Finder window, so it will be copied to the flash drive.
Note that the file won't be copied if your flash drive is formatted in NTFS, so you will have to install an application like Paragon NTFS or you will have to format the flash drive in a different filesystem

Quicktime Export causing Out of Sync Audio?

I'm trying to export a self contained Quicktime movie from my timeline, and every time I try, the audio ends up being out of sync. What am I doing wrong?
The audio is set to just the defaults, 16 bit, 48khz.
Sequence settings: HDV1080p30
When I bring the final exported movie back into FCP, it plays out of sync.
Exporting through the Share feature to bluRay resulted in perfect sync audio, so I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working.
Please help!

Allright, since nobody out there seems to have the answer - I'm going to share what I discovered so that the next person will actually get an answer without having to spend hours and hours finding it in other forums. Here goes:
Problem: Audio plays in sync on the timeline, an export from the timeline through Share to bluRay results in correctly synced audio; but a Quicktime Export with current settings results in a final movie where audio is out of sync with the video.
Solutions: I found two solutions to this problem:
1- When exporting to Quicktime Movie, check "recompress all frames". This solution had mixed reviews, with lots of people saying you should never do this, as it will reduce the quality of your final output; while others said the reduction in quality was not noticeable to the naked eye. I guess you can try it and be the judge.
2- In your sequence settings, change the compression setting to Apple Pro Res. This is the setting I decided to go with, as I'm currently awaiting the 10 hour render.
I did do a quick and dirty test on the ProRes option, where it appeared to work. Since the audio is correctly synced in the beginning of the video and then slowly falls out of sync (obviously the 30p to 29.97 problem), I had to run a test using my entire sequence. If you run a test on a 2 minute sequence, it will appear to be correct, because it is a slow falling out of sync issue - the problems occur later in your project (just fyi). Here is what I did (in case you want to try it on your project):
I created a new sequence and then changed the compression setting from HDV1080-30p to Apple Pro Res 422. I dragged my sequences into this sequence (so they were nested). I unlinked the audio and then selected about a 20 second area from about 3/4 of the way through the project. I sliced this section and then removed all the video before and after (so it would speed up render time and only render black, but I would still be able to see if the audio synced up later - I hope that makes sense - this made my export time only 12 minutes). After it exported, I reimported the movie, found the little 20 second area, and it was correctly synced. So, now I am exporting the whole thing. I sincerely hope this works. I don't have lots of 10 hour blocks just lyin' around!
Since my audio issue was most likely due to the fact that I captured and edited in 1080 30p, I believe it must be a bug in FCP that exports the Quicktime movie in 29.97 regardless of whatever your sequence settings are (believe me, I tried to change it to 1080-30p and it didn't work). That is why I think the Apple Pro Res option works, but it involves a total re-render of your project. This is also why I believe it plays fine in the timeline, because my timeline was set to 30p. Again, I also believe that is why my export to BluRay through Share resulted in correctly synced audio - the bluRay export I believe uses the Pro Res codec (which, by the way, took 19 hours).
Wish Apple would fix this bug.

Rented HD Movie Audio out of sync

have itunes on a win 8 pc. latest vesrion of ITunes , rented an HD movie and the audio was horribly out of sync. tried stopping starting and restarting but it always moved farther out of sync. Any fixes for this problem other than not to rent movies?

Let's see if some of these questions might bring to light your issue:
1) Reference movie or self-contained?
reference, though I am burning a self-contained version just to see
2) Is this audio you've added/adjusted yourself... I mean, did you have to sync it yourself in the timeline as you were editing?
interviews - SOT and music no specific to clips
3) Are there any 'holes' in your audio on the timeline... spaces as it where?
no holes
4) Would there be, by chance, a change in what ends up monitoring the audio from you watching the timeline in FCP to when you open it in Quicktime?
5) Have you loaded the reference movie back into FCP to see if indeed it is out of sync there too?
Reference movie is out in FCP but the timeline is fine.
6) This 'jump'... obvious jump? Slight shift over time? Same place every time? Tied to an edit maybe?
obvious jump that shifted position after I tossed the preference file.
7) What are your computer specs?
Did you need something more specific than the specs I posted in the question? Otherwise, Dual Core Intel 2.66 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.10) 4 Gb ram 1 hour video FCP 6.0.1

Export audio to movie is out of sync!

Does anyone know what might cause a Logic song exported to audio in a QT movie to be out of sync with the picture in the resulting bounce?

Before you open the movie in Logic, open it up in Quicktime. Click on the movie and then press Cmd-I for the Movie Info screen. This will tell you the frame rate and other useful stuff about the file.
In Logic, set up your sync settings to match, then open the movie. You should have no problems then.

My movie is out of sync after I export to Apple TV

Using imovie 11 V 9.0.1, my movie is properly synced in iMovie, no problems at all. But as soon as I export it to Apple TV or Quicktime etcc, it goes out of sync. It's really annoying especially because I have no clue what causes the problem. The movie is 13 minutes long so it shouldn't be a problem of length of the movie. Please help.

Is it 50p or 50i?
What make.model canera shot the footage?

Export a Quicktime puts audio out of sync.

Hi
I've just cut some footage capture on my iPhone.
When I export the quicktime the audio is out of sync. When I play the final cut timeline it's fine.
Any suggestions please?

Hi - Do you want the detailed explanation or the quickest solution?
If the quickest solution:
Click anywhere on your timeline.
Type Command + 0 (zero) to bring up your sequence settings.
When it opens change
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/SeqSettingH264.jpg!
to this:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/SeqSetting422LT.jpg!
and click OK.
When you have done that a red render bar will appear over your sequence, click anywhere on the timeline and type Command + A and the type Command + R to render it all.
Now export your Quicktime movie.
Hope this helps. If you want the detailed explanation post back.

Video + audio recorded in Quicktime X is out of sync when used in iMovie

I have recorded video in Quicktime X. When I try to edit it in iMovie, the audio and video are out of sync. They are in sync if I play the video in Quicktime. I am using the latest version of iMovie '11. Anyone know how I can fix this?

You should not HAVE TO but did you try extracting out the audio? This has been a issue for a long time. I am not sure why you never see this problem in Final Cut but it rears its ugly head in iMovie all the time. What do the call it now? Oh yes... detach. Select the clip then Clip -> Detach audio and line it back up.

Large .dv file plays fine in Quicktime, but audio out of sync in iMovie??

hi,
i'm trying to convert some old analog 8mm tapes to digital. to do this, i'm using a sony trv320 camcorder with firewire feeding iMovie '08. i've imported an entire 2 hour tape into iMovie, and everything is fine except that at some point, the audio gets out of sync from the picture. i've opened the huge 24 GB .dv file in Quicktime, and everything is in sync, so I assume this is some kind of problem related to iMovie. i've done lots of searching on this and have made sure that the camcorder is sending 16 bit audio out. i also tried using mpeg streamclip to split the huge .dv file into smaller parts, but this resulted in the same audio sync problem (which is weird).
is my only option to manually import my tapes 10 minutes at a time? please say no
the most puzzling thing about this is that the huge .dv file is perfectly in sync all the way through when playing back in Quicktime.
i'm at a loss!! hope someone can help.

I've edited in FCP and exported with compressor with all the appropriate settings, to mpeg 2.
Double check to make sure that you edited in Anamorphic and also encoded as 16:9 video not 4:3 - also make sure you set the Track to 16:9 Letterbox in DVD SP.
What encoding rates did you use for the video and audio? Sometimes if the rates are too high it can cause drifts.
On the audio side, did you export the FCP as self contained and make the audio AC3? Also you can try just exporting the audio as an AIF and encode that as an AC3.
How did you burn the DVD (Speed and Media used?) Sometimes bad burns/media can cause issues.

Quicktime movie washed out in Safari

I'm having a problem with my quicktime movie published in Safari. The movie looks good on Firefox but washed out on Safari. I cant seem to find a way to stop this from happening. I copied the movie from the Safari version on the web to see if it was Safari and played it out on the desktop and its washed out. The original was HD and very clean. I converted with H.264 in compressor and the final movie looked great. Sure would like it to look as good as the H.264 on my desktop. Any suggestions would be great.

No, this isn't a rookie thing. I believe the problem lies within the new quicktime update, the last one did the same thing. However, this is a frustrating problem, but my suggestion is to wait a few days, and see if apple picks up on the problem and releases a fix.
DON'T UNINSTALL QUICKTIME USING PACIFIST!!! I tried that and had to reinstall my operating system. I don't know why, but it is not advisable.

Quicktime MOV washed out

Hi, I had a movie edited in AE and rendered with format of Quicktime movie while everything remained default. But the color of the rendered movie was washed out when played in quicktime player.
If I rendered the movie with Windows Media format, the rendered movie was OK.
Was I missing something in the output module settings for quicktime mov?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
jusko

Thanks Steve, Steven and Todd for your responses. I am sorry that I hadn't mentioned my OS is Windows Vista with AE CS3.
Steve : In the output module, I selected Quicktime Movie format and by default the codec is H.264 which I think is the culprit for making the washed out mov. I then followed your advice to use Animation and the result was great! I'll try different settings for a better result. But I wonder why H.264 yields such a poor result as most movies nowadays use this codec.
Steven : I tried switching on "Match Legacy After Effects Quicktime Gamma Adjustments" in Project Settings, and left everything default, but the result was the same, e.g. the color of the rendered mov was lighter than the original.
Todd : I'll read carefully the information on the link that you mentioned.

Exported slideshow to Quicktime, music now out of sync

Hello: I created a slideshow in iPhoto with music and transitions in sync, then exported it to Quicktime. When I play it in Quicktime, the music track is slightly out of sync with the slides. Can anyone give me any suggestions? Thanks!
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

slhmca:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I think that problem was fixed with 10.4.8 and the newest Quicktime version. Download and use the 10.4.8 COMBO updater as opposed the the Software Update method. I'd do the same with the Quicktime version. QT 7.1.3 is required if you need to access videos from the iTMS. Otherwise QuickTime 7.1.2 for Mac will suffice. It depends on your iTunes situation.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Quicktime audio & video out of sync in premiere cs5

i filmed a video using the built-in isight camera in my new macbook pro and the QuickTime video recorder. the videos look and sound fine, but when i put them into adobe premiere cs5 for editing, they audio and video get out of sync. how do i keep this from happening?
thanks!

In most cases I convert to PNG format (Portable Network Graphics) rather than JPG. File sizes are larger than JPG but rarely prohibitively so (and if they are I will then use JPG) .
Importantly, for this generally insignificant increase in size, you get a perfect lossless graphic with PNG.
For example this whole screen capture (1920 x 1200) shot is:
694K PNG (lossless)
2,341K JPG (lossless)
493K JPG (standard lossy)
Note that the forum scales images for display. To actually see it at full resolution you would right-click the image and 'Save As Image ...' to then view it in your favourite image viewer (I use VuePrint, XN-View and FutureixImager to view images).
Cheers,
Neale
