Slideshow audio timing is off after export to QT movie

I created a slideshow in iPhoto and put one song with it. I times all the slide durations so that the music would fade out exactly at the end. After exporting to a QuickTime movie, however, the slideshow is finished before the song is... the song is off by at least ten seconds.
I believe I get better image quality if I do the show in iPhoto as opposed to iMovie, which is why I used iPhoto to begin with. But if the show will not synch, what other choice do I have?
Any suggestions?

Did you take into account the transition times. That has thrown me off a number of times. Do you have the Fit Slideshow to music option selected?
Another application that creates, IMO, terrific slideshows is PhotoPresenter. It has 25 or more themes and can save the slideshow, with Fit slideshow to music, to a variety of formats, QT, for iPod, HD, etc. This is one of their many themes.
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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Presentation timing way off after export to Quicktime

I built a presentation with several embedded Quicktime movies. Want it to play all the way through automatically. Plays beautifully in Keynote, but when I export to Quicktime timing is way off. Individual clips have lots of extra time on the first or last frame. Tried all sizes of export, tried recording and then using recorded timings, but nothing works.
I'm offering free beer to anyone who has the answer.

Audio and video timing thrown off on export to Adobe Media Encoder

Hi.
I have a two and a half minute video which includes a lip-synched character. Everything is working perfectly inside Premiere Pro CS4. When I export this using F4V format, I set it to match frame rate as source then typed in 24fps for good measure.
The audio track is way off after going through Adobe Media encoder however.
The original video (generated in Carrara 7 Pro) was set to 24fps, but it looked like Premiere tried to import it as 29.97 fps. I right clicked on the clip and used Interpret Footage to set it back to 24fps when first setting up this project. (looking in my Project Panel right now, I see the flv icons are all set to 24 fps, but the blue icon representing PremiereProProject is indeed set at 29.93 fps, plus and incorrect size (720x480 px as oppsed to the 608x464 px of my actual flv files).
Seems like it's still pulling in that faster frame rate though when it goes to encode, even though I'm setting stuff to 24fps wherever I see the option.
Any ideas how to fix this (and how to prevent similar problems in the future)?
Again, everything works fine within the Premiere Pro CS4 context. It's just when I export that the video seems to play at a higher frame rate, thus begins running way ahead of the audio.
If there's not a way to fix this (change the project settings) within this file, is there a way to copy all of my data and simply paste it into a Premiere Pro file with the right size and fps? I've now created a custom preset with the correct info.
Thanks

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the issue.
I bring my stuff in from a 3d program (Carrara) which exported a png sequence at 24 frames per second (in square pixels). I didn't see an appropriate preset, so I chose a randomish DV preset, with 29.97 fps and .9 pixel aspect ratio. i re-interpreted the footage to set back to the correct framerate (and pixels I think). But when I exported from PremPro, it pulls in that initial Project Stting of 29.97 fps, thus all of my audio is off.
Is there a way to re-set the Project Settings after the fact so I can correct my fps and pixel proportions?
Or is my only choice to reimport my footage to a new project with the corect settings?
Thanks

Audio out of sync after export!

I've exported this video I've been working on several times under different conditions, no effects, no transitions, no additional media, different formats between AVI, MPEG, H.264, I've uninstalled and re-installed premier, running as administrator. I have done everything in my known knowledge of troubleshooting to figure out why after exporting this video my audio sync is off by two seconds, nothing I've done has worked.
Video Source
AVI
1920x1080
60 fps
I'm matching the source as export other times I've not, again I've tried multiple combinations.

Export videos to YouTube but audio isn't there after exporting

I exported my video to YouTube via Quicktime but audio isn't there after I go to the YouTube link. I turned up my volume all the way but no sound comes out. I JUST upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.8 TODAY ON JUNE 23RD! Has anyone else experienced this AFTER upgrading to 10.6.8? With 10.6.7 I could export videos perfectly. AND AFTER upgrading to 10.6.8, it takes FOREVER for the video to export to YouTube. It takes hours!

OK so I tried a few more videos. The first had the problem but the several more I tried a few more and they worked fine. Then I went back to the first and it started working fine again. So the problem seems to have gone away.

Audio out of sync after exporting into Quicktime using current settings.

Quicktime file has audio out of sync when I export to quicktime movie using current settings.
Ok for about the first few minutes then, out of sync after about 10 minutes.
I shot the footage on tape with my Sony HVR-Z7u.
My Sequence setting is the same as the format of the footage as shown below.
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
Editing Time base: 23.98
Quicktime video settings: Compressor: HDV 1080p24
Audio Settings: Rate 48 KHz
Depth: 16bit
Clip format:
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
Vid Rate: 23.98
Compressor: HDV 1080p24
Audio Rate 48 KHz
Audio Format: 16bit

I recently moved and both of my editing machines were unplugged for a couple of days until I could get them set up. After turning them back on, the problem had disappeared. Perhaps leaving the system unplugged had allowed some of the internal components to reset? That's the only thing I can think of. At any rate, the issue is gone.

Perfect audio in FCPX timeline, distorted after export to QuickTime mov

Anyone experiencing distorted audio with a QuickTime movie file exported from Final Cut Pro X? The audio sounds great in the timeline, but muffled and distorted after exporting it. Here's the kicker, I took that same file and opened it using QuickTime 7 and the audio is fine. I took that same file and converted it to a WMV file using Flip Player, and the audio is fine. So it would seem that the problem is the newest version of QuickTime (v10.4). If any of you have come to a similar conclusion, is there a way to remedy this? It's problematic because when I upload the file to YouTube, the distortion is present. Thanks in advance to everyone who can assist with this.
MY SYSTEM:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), 2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM
OSX Yosemite 10.10.2
FCPX v10.1.4
QuickTime v10.4

Hi Al,
Here are the steps I use to export:
From the File menu, I select 'Share' and select 'Master File'
In the pop-up dialog box I click on 'Settings' and select 'H264' as the CODEC
I open the rendered file with QuickTime Player and the audio is distorted.
I open the rendered file with QuickTime Player 7 and the audio is fine
I convert the exported file to a WMV file using Pro version of Flip Player. The audio in the resulting file is fine.
I'm no expert but this would on the outset appear to be a problem with QuickTime v10.4. I can't seem to find a way to resolve this. Thank you for your assistance.
FYI - the audio file for the project is pulled in to FCPX as an mp3 directly from the iTunes library via the 'Music and Sound' browser.

Audio sounding Dull & low - After export

Hi there,
I'm editing in Premiere Pro CS4. If you see the images below, it will tell you a bit more about the system and settings I'm using. I gave my customer a DVD and she complained about the audio. I asked her to email me the description of what she wasn't happy about, and she wrote this: 'with the audio the sound quality was lost it wasn't crisp and clear. And the base and beats were very low. Came out as very dull sound'. Now I agree with her. One of my fellow editors who uses another system produced a video, and imediately I noticed how wonderful the sound was. I could feel the base and hear more of the instruments.
My original audio peaked like this:
I asked someone what was the best level to put it at and they said let it peak at -6. So now my audio peaks like this:
After the complaint, I asked a few more people, and they said that the green level of the audio should be reaching level 6. So now my audio peaks like this:
Now I'm not sure if the above settings have fixed the problem, but at least on the computer it sounds better.
This is the version of Premiere I'm using:
This is some info about my computer:
File properties before export:
File properties after export:
Project settings:
These are my export settings:
I hope this is enough information and I appreciate any help. Let me know if you need me to gather more info.

haha very funny.
Certainly not. :-) I've actually noticed it even before she mentioned something to me. Maybe I'm mistaken. You sound as though nothing should be wrong with my audio. Is that right? Judging from my settings.

Audio problems in iMovie11 after exporting

Hey everyone!
I have been suffering from a problem that I have no clue how to fix. So I created my video 9min long with all sorts of stuff (logos, various songs, voicerovers, detached audio, attached audio haha, cutaway picture, etc etc) and everything is fine with the sound while its still in the library. The movie is made and ready to export. BUT when I export and create a .mov file (HD 780 or 1080) the sound gets messed up and sudden gaps of silence appear out of nowhere. Usually those gaps appear at the end of the clip. Also the more I export the movie the more problems it appears to have..... So now besides the silence gaps, in 2 scenes the sound goes like you're under water for a second or so, and then goes back to normal. AGAIN this happens ONLY after exporting. Before rendering everything is fine on my imovie, sound is in tact and whatnot. But after exporting I face these issues that I have to solve somehow..
Please help someone, it's urgent!
Thank you in advance.

Extract, or detach, the audio and make sure the audio is in sync.

What is the reason for this error? after export part of movie broken

hi, i cannot find the reason for this strange error that happaned to me for the first time, you can see the outcome here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/p.cardash/IMovieBug/photo#5164317113276584274
after exporting in imovie to h264 .mov file, from HDV project, resolution is twisted, plus, the part that was supposed to fit hole screen, is black and sometimes with little graphic errors.
i tried about 10 times, with different setting, resolutions, and other parameteres.
after exporting for ipod, everything is ok, in m4v format.
what is wrong? i use the same method for creating and also for exporting, as in previous projects. i didnt use any new transitions, efects nor titles...
any thoughts?
best to You,
Piotr

ok, i think that i know where is the problem, but i still dont what is it
ive copied my file to a new mac with just installed imovie and everything is the same,exactly the same output. so 100% positively the problem is within the particular project.
i didnt check my mackbook with TT, since i dont have it and dont want to pay i thought its for free
i`ll try later to figure out what wrong and what part of the project is bad.
for now, i think i hate imovie again :)) piece of..
let me know how your case ended.

Audio out of sync after converting flv to mov

Hi all,
Mission - I need to convert an .flv file to .mov in order to edit in FCP and export out again as flv file
Process - open flv in mpeg streamclip, export as quicktime mov.
Problem - when importing to fcp, the audio is out of sync. It may be in sync in one place but out in another. Seems like its a different frame rate???
What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this?? It's needed tomorrow morning.
Urgent help is appreciated.

No response yet. Anybody have any ideas on this please?

Footage is jumpy after exporting to Quicktime movie

I have final cut pro 7 and im working with to different type of footage. One is from my canon t2i and the other is sony 500v AVCHD. Everything was logged and transfered correctly as prores. Everything plays well in the sequence no jumping between between muiltcam shots.The problem comes into play when i right click on the sequence and export to Quicktime movie. I keep all of the default setting of the sequence it was created from. Again everything plays GREAT in the sequence, so i dont think i have any corrupt files.Its weird its like it jumps from 100% on a clip to 98% and then back again. It doesn't play this way thru the entire sequence. I have the new 27 IMac

Did you transcode to ProRes HQ?
If so, your system and or hard drive may not have enough juice to play it back in Quicktime without skipping.
ProRes LT is what your clips should be transcoded to.
If you have Unlimited RT activated for the sequence with dynamic settings, it may appear to play back correctly, but actually the quality and/or frame rate may be lowered slightly for realtime playback.

DVD & Blu-Ray audio out of sync after export

When I use FCP X's built in DVD or Blu-ray export option, about halfway through the video, the audio becomes out of sync and becomes ahead of the video.
How can I fix this?

Freddy,
You will see that I am experiencing the same issue with my DVDs and BDs per my question 3 hours prior to yours. It never was an issue until very recently. I may have a solution. Realizing that my audio was acting as if I had "Drop Frame" audio attached to "Non-Drop Frame" video, I went back to my source material to verify my acquisition settings. All elements of the production were recorded appropriately as "Drop Frame." Playback on the "Timeline" (Passé now) was perfect. No audio sync issues there. So I felt it must be some rendering setting within Compressor and the render engine. When you go to Compessor (Send to Compressor), you will gain access to the audio render settings for both DVD & BD. Typically, the "Retiming" under the "General" tab of the Audio Inspector is set to "100% of source." I Went ahead and checked off the radio button below that to render the audio at the exact duration of my program (nearly 3 hrs long). I did this for the DVD version of the program and placed it into DVD Studio Pro to replace the bad sync audio. Well wudda ya know....it worked. I haven't burned the DVD yet, but that is next. I suspect that if this works for the DVD, it may work for the BD render as well. Wish me luck. I hope this helps.
On a side note: If all else fails, render a MASSIVE master file and use that in Toast to make a BD. Not the best option, but it will get you out the door.

Audio tracks are clipped after export to Quicktime

I have a small (16 slides) keynote file that runs perfectly in Keynote.
I have individual voice audio files for each slide as well as a seperate "master" soundtrack running in the background.
When I export to QT the individual voice audio track is clipped off at various times on each slide. The slide's other transitions continue to run with the background music playing just fine. The next slide begins as expected, playing all sound files, until the individual voice audio file is cut off again.
Exporting at different resolutions seems to produce the same frustrating results.
The background music is a QT movie file. The voice-over is an Mp3.
Thanks for your help.

Doesnt solve the problem. the soundtrack is synced at first but then is progressively, increasingly out of sync. A couple of seconds late on a 7-minute film.

Video and audio out of synch after export

Hello guys,
I have 5 minutes long video on timeline.
1 audio and 3 video layers.
All looks good, but once I export it as QuickTime self contained movie (current settings) to my desktop, video and audio is out of synch.
Any ideas what it might be wrong?
Thank you for any advise.

Hi
Did You Render All - first - before Export
Did You Mixdown Audio - Render Only - last line
What material was used
• Video Codec and fps
• Audio file formats and bit-depth and frequency e.g. .aiff 48kHz 16-bit
• What kind of Project Set-Up did You use e.g. Easy Set-Up - PAL-48kHz
