Sound bitrate not the same. Audio sync problem. Clip not segmenting.

Hi. I used FCP to edit various wedding videos. I have never had problems edditing my own videos in NTSC dv or hd. Somone asked me to edit their tapes wich have been recorded in PAL ( european) format. I don't know what amera or format they used but when i try to import them i keep getting the sound out of sync error. I checked and it seems that the sound is ok but would like to get rid of this error just to be sure. I am importing as dv-pal in fcp. any ideas as to how to find out the bitrate or sound type or how to get rid of this error? like i said in NTSC i don't have issues. Also in NTSC when i import a clip it segmets it to 1 clip per shot and for PAL it does not do that . It makes the whole tape one clip. Any sugestions? Thank you.

To check the audio sample rate easily in the browser just scroll the blue bar at the bottom of the browser. If you haven't rearranged the columns it should be around the middle somewhere.
Curious, is your audio out of sync in the viewer as well as the timeline/canvas? If it is in sync in the vieweruse Shanes multi-clip sequence trick to create a sequence with the correct settings. Control click on one of the clips, choose make multiclip sequence, then delete the extra muticlip sequence folder from the browser. As long as all of the imported clips have the same settings they will all fit nicely into this new sequence.
But... if the clips are out of sync in the viewer then you have a problem with the way they were captured.
You used the word import. Just to clarify, are you importing clips from a disk or hard drive that SOMEONE ELSE previoulsy captured? Or are you using the term import to describe capturing the footage into your computer from the source tapes yourself. Import and capture are two totally different things.
If you are importing data that someone else already captured and the audio is out of sync then you need to either recapture the tapes or get him to recapture them because they were no doubt captured with the wrong settings. If you are importing yourself, find out what camera they were shot with and get the settings.

  • How can you make Firefox's settings the same on mulitple computers (not the same as sync)?

    I would like Firefox (version 4) to look and have the same settings on more than one desktop.
    This is not the same as 'sync' which just synchronizes your bookmarks, history, and passwords.
    I want the look and placement of all the toolbars, etc to be the same on all the computers in my house.

  • PPro CS6: Effects used on Adjustment Layer not the same as direct on clip

    Hi,
    I'm using the PPro CS6 Demo on a Core i7 with 12GB Ram, GTX 580 1,5GB on Windows 7 Ultimate.
    Today i applied the gaussian blur filter to some clips to remove the moiré pattern in the downscaled videoclips - as I do it quite often with PPro CS5. It removed the pattern as it's always doing - fine.
    Then I remembered the new Adjustment Layer function within CS6 and tried this in the same sequence, with the same clips and the same configured gaussian blur filter. The moiré pattern slightly improved, but the effect wasn't the same as before. It seems that applying this filter on a clip or on an Adjustment Layer isn't the same?
    I didn't tested this with other filters, so I can't say if the gaussian blur is the only filter affected.
    Anyone has a similiar experience or can explain this?
    Thanks!

    There is a very common misstatement and misunderstanding of how adjustment layers work, which I'll repeat here: "Applying an effect to an adjustment layer applies the effect to all layers under the adjustment layer."
    That's wrong in a subtle but important way.
    What actually happens is that applying an effect to an adjustment layer applies the effect to the composited result from all of the layers under the adjustment layer.
    This is an important distinction, because it puts the adjustment at a different place in the order of operations in the rendering pipeline.
    Anyway, that's a long and perhaps overly theoretical way of saying that, yes, you may see some difference between applying an effect directly to a bunch of clips compared with applying the effect to an adjustment layer over that same bunch of clips.

  • Audio Sync Problems With Share YouTube -- OSX not iOS

    I've replicated this several times. It's maddening and bizarre. *Share YouTube*
    Exporting a FCPX video using the "SHARE" menu and choosing YouTube causes the resulting upload to be out of sync when viewed in Safari or other browsers on iOS
    Viewing the same video on the iPad with the built in YouTube app, the video plays in sync
    Viewing the same video on AppleTV 2 (with the 5.1 update), the video plays in sync.
    If I export using Export Media menu item under the SHARE menu, and then from QuickTime Player choose Export For Web (under the File menu) and manually upload, the video is in sync.
    Note, that using
    Feel free to try on this short simple and silly video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGTQNMJdPRQ&list=UUiDxioBFJCPC-8OUFifsx8A&index=2 &feature=plcp
    Anyone else experience this. Is this a bug or a feature? Rather not go through three steps to upload a simple YouTube video.

    We've got the same problem and yep, it's infuriating that are so few posts about it.
    It doesn't happen with every video, but the vast majority of files that we've tried to either export directly to YouTube from QTX or export locally and then manually upload to YouTube end up with shockingly bad audio sync (and also some colour issues, but that's another story).
    As a small video production company we were chuffed to bits with the improved export speed in QTX and quick to make use of it. But when we realised there was a problem, we had to revert back to using QT7's painfully slow export.
    We've run experiments on a brand new iMac and MacBook Pro running the most up-to-date version of OS X and still no joy. Always the same audio sync problems with the same video files.
    In the meantime however,  we've found that the settings advised on this YouTube help page have given us the best (albeit slow) results at both 25fps and 30fps when exporting from QT7:

  • 32bit floating point is the audio sync problem

    Hi,
    just thought I post this solution.
    We are working on a HD project (1h), ProRes422(HQ) setting, 48kHz. The footage was shot with EX-3.
    When we got the sound back from the mix (WAV, 48kHz) is showed up in the finder as correct duration, but once placed into the timeline is shrunk and ended up too short (about 3sec) and hence the sync was lost.
    Next step was getting a AIFF bounced out from the Sound Guys, but same problem.
    Changing to other sequence settings didn't help. We tried Sony EX, uncompressed etc. Also looked at all render settings but our system is MacPro with 10GB Ram, so speak isn't the issue.
    I then ended up importing it into Soundtrack Pro and output another AIFF 2ith 32bit floating point - problem solved. No its on duration and in Sync.
    Cheers Alex

    I'll run through it again along the lines you suggest. Hardware should be good enough. 15" Retina, i7, 16GB RAM, discrete graphics, etc, but I like the idea of copying the card completely. The drive I use is a G-RAID Thunderbolt striped as a 0, so yes, it's an external. Optimized media as Apple Prores 422 behaves just the same. When you view the waveform and the picture, single-framing through the clip, you see and hear they are not in sync.
    Thanks, Ben. I'll report back. If your friend's works, it may be the camera. I have a case number with Panasonic in case that's possible, and I'll try an import into Premiere CC, though I don't use that personally.
    (The DVX100 Audio Sync Tool was a thing, but it was a long time ago in a galaxy buried underneath our own. It came as an optional install on the DVD for FCP 4 for sure, but I may have used it with 3.0.)

    hi vcp
    welcome to the forum, glad you made the switch ... you won't be sorry (although you might be wondering at the moment!)

    4. no special settings required
    what camera did you capture from? did you capture with FCP?

  • I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music

    Hi I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music. Home sharing is not working. How do I successfully transfer and sync the music off my ipone 4 to my mac book pro if they have different Apple IDs? Thanks!

    What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.

  • Safari logs me out of logged in web pages - not the same problem as other similar post - please read.

    Before you crucify me please read the problem I've outlined below, because it's not the same issue other people are having. I did research the forums for the particular issue I'm having and it's not the same as what's already been posted. Please let me explain.
    Here is my machine info.
    iMac running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 on 2.5 GHZ Intel core.
    Safari Version 5.1.7
    I run two instances of Safari. I will have 1 safari browser window open on the left side of my screen with 7 tabs all on pages that require login. I run a second instance of Safari on the right side of my screen with only one tab open logged into 1 web page.
    Here's what happens. Ocassionaly when switching the focus from one browser to the other all of my logged in web pages will refresh and I'll be logged out of all my logged in web pages, on both open browsers. There's never a certain amount of time that this happens, I've had it happen 3-4 hours into my work day and I've had it happen 10 minutes into my work day. I've also had this occure when I'm putting the focus from one browser window to the other and then I go to resize the width of the window I just put the focus on.
    I'm thinking that there must be some setting or short cut "gesture" built into Safari that I'm triggering to make this happen, however I have looked at all the settings and can't seem to find anything that would cause this.
    Any help or advice is apprecaited.  

    BDAqua - I have two Safari windows open - I guess in my semi technical mind that equated to two instances. But your probably right, just one instance of app with two windows open.
    About two minutes after I posted my question, I was doing some work in one of my tabbed web pages, as I pressed the submit button to update the record on that page and as the page was refreshing I clicked my mouse on the second open Safari window to put the focus on that window, as soon as I put the focus on the second open browser I got logged out of all my logged in tabs in both windows.
    The time it happened was sometime between 14:30 and 14:35
    I'm looking at the Sytem Log. IN the filter I typed Safari and nothing came up from today in the log.
    Just looking at "All Messages" between the hours of 1430 and 1435 their are no messages about safari, just the following.
