Sound out of sync after iMovie '11 upgrade

I have a project nearly an hour long made in iMovie '09. I just upgraded to iMovie '11 and now the sound is out of sync with the picture. It gets progressively worse the longer into the movie you go. I discovered this when I went to do more work on the project. The sound and picture were perfectly in sync in iMovie '09. I don't understand how Apple can release an upgrade with no warning that it will destroy all your previous work. What happens now?

I just finished testing a "fix" for this. Go to the App folder and delete the iMovie file. Take the iLife 11 disc and run the installation. This will take you back to the 9.0 version of iMovie. Just be careful not the upgrade iMovie when Software Update runs. I've done this and everything seems to be back to normal on the tests I've run. If you don't have iLife 11 disc and your copy of iMovie came on your computer, you will need to figure out another way to go back to the earlier version. But if you do this, at least you will be up and running until Apple releases an update that works! Good luck!

Canon HDXL1 Sound out of sync after capture in HD when shot at 24Frames

When shooting with the new Canon HDXL1 in HD with the frame rate set at 24Frames, the audio is way out of sync when captured in FCP using the apple Intermediate codec and HDV firewire. If I play it through the camera to a HD moniter via compnent cables, the sound is in sync. The lag only occurs when capturing in FCP. Any answers? I have been told that Apple may address this issue on their next FCP update. Am I doing something wrong?

The audio default for the Canon XLH1 for HD is 48khz.
In the HD 24F mode the camera records in 24fps progressive mode. During playback the signals are down converted to 60 fps interlaced using the 2:3 pulldown method.
While recording, if the HDV/DV terminal is set to HDV output, the output signal will be in 24 fps progressive. The signal output from the HD/SDI terminal and the component out terminal will be down-converted to 6ofps using the 2:3 pulldown method. Mayber I need to use tools>remove advanced pulldown in FCP on the clips?
Thanks for your reply

Entering Bios puts screen out of sync after XP 1800 upgrade

Hello
I have a problem with the K7T Turbo2 board, after I changed the CPU from 900 TBird to 1800 XP then the screen goes out of sync when I enter the bios which means that I cannot configure anything in the bios.
The fsb is set to 133 mhz, but it also hapens if I set it to 100 mhz.
(The machine works fine in other way, boots and does everything that it is supposed to be).
If I put the Tbird back in the machine then I can enter the Bios again.
I have updated the bios to the latest (3.6) but no with resolving this issue.

Additional:
I have owned Q-tec products.......
Do a basic benchmark if you can with Q-Tec PSU and then with a Antec, Enermax or Hiper PSU in.........
I noticed a 10% increase in performance and NO problems booting or working or playing games.......
The other Q-Tec product was a Cooler, which applied to much pressure and made a good mainboard DEAD........
(845GE Max with 2.4 @ 2.97Ghz stable)
My point of view is from using Q-Tec products and NOT just GOSSIP on http://WWW......

For out of sync issues, which most likely are due to time changes or NTP sync issues, you must correct the system time and perform a manual sync up through the UI.
For certificate expiry issues, you must install a valid certificate and perform a manual sync up through the UI.
For a node that has been down for more than six hours, you must restart the node, check for connectivity issues, and perform a manual sync up through the UI.

Sony HDR-HC3 1080i imports out of sync to iMovie

My old DV camcorder imported into iMovie 6.0.2 just fine. Have just bought the new SONY HDR-HC3E HDV handycam - component set to 1080i/576i and HDV/DV converter set to off.
Created new iMovie project and selected video format HD 1080i. iMovie sees the camera okay but when i press play control or import control, iMovie tells me it is previewing or importing iMovie content at 1/2 or 3/4 speed. Picture in iMovie window is clearly moving slower than picture on camcorder screen. When i press pause or stop and review clip that has been imported into iMovie it plays back with the sound out of sync. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi kosmo
Most obvious thought.
- is Your Camera set to 12-bit sound or does it have LP/EP mode (long/extended) that
records more minutes on a standard tape than normal play.
- should be 16-bit sound and SP (standard play) mode.
If this is relevant to Your situation !

QT breaking up and sound out of sync - cpu or ram or browser problem?

1. I try to watch BBC news video clips but can never get anything other than the sound out of sync, the picture breaking up and what I can only try to describe as a 'delayed streaming problem' where the film jumps frames from one frame to 'much later'.
2. Also the BBC has options of 'screen size' - I can't go to their large size so am stuck with a small version. (I don't think this is associated with the core problem.)
I play these clips either through Media Player or Real Player but it makes no difference.
I have flip4mac installed. I have the ATI display drivers updated.
I hope you understand the problem.
I hope I'll understand the answers!
Thanks for any helps.
Gordon

Another thing I've just noticed is that when the news clips are downloading and playing it is only at 36kbps. I have as far as I can set preferences at 256kbps.
I am connected to DSL but I'm not sure at what rate the ISP delivers. (I know it's the cheapest!)
Hope this helps anyone inclined to help.
Thanks

Sound out of sync with movies...

Any movie I watch within iTunes (lets say a rental or something I in my library) has the sound go out of sync after a few minutes and it never recovers.
It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue (VLC works fine and even if I moved the movie to the primary drive, an SSD, I still have issues).

I'm having the same issue - my hardware WAY exceeds the requirements - by 3x- so there shouldn't be any issues at ALL, but there are.
Possible fixed that I have found are:
-You can pause then replay the video every few min.
-QuickTime seemsto play the videos just fine, but you have to track down the files on your harddrive.
So far, all I can conclude is that Apple wants youto buy one of their computers to solve the problem, but the still haven'tsolved the issue of a.) the majority of the world not using apple computers, b.) pretty muchevery game coming out on windows computers MONTHS before apple computers, and c.) being totallyincompatible with PC's in a business setting. There's a guy who sends files outat my office with his Mac and he is CONSTANTLY redoing things because it isn'tcompatible with other business's computers - its actually really annoying...

Mac OS X partition ("Macintosh HD") gets out of sync after hibernation

Hello,
I have a first-generation Unibody 15" MacBook Pro. I run Mac OS X Lion and Windows XP Profession 32-bit through Boot Camp on it.
I notice that the Mac OS X partition gets out of sync after I hibernate in Windows XP, reboot into Mac OS X Lion, restart and resume Windows XP. Certain folders would remain visible in Windows Explorer but become inaccessible, while some folders that I just created in Mac OS X would not even show up.
Is there a way to tell Windows XP to "remount" the HFS+ partition?
Steps to reproduce:
Boot into Windows XP;
Hibernate Windows XP;
Boot into Mac OS X;
Pick a folder and change something in it;
Create a new folder;
Reboot and resume Windows XP;
Open "Windows Explorer";
Try to access the folders you just meddled with.

Don't hibernate, shut XP down when you reboot and the issue goes away, you really should consider using a more modern operating system.

My audio goes out of sync after import

I have a bunch of masters of 1h documentaries that I've done using Adobe Premiere CS6. I've exported the masters using exactly the same specs:
Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ), 23.98fps, 1920x1080p, 48kHz, 16b, PCM audio.
I have to do some changes on the masters of these shows. They all play fine on several players like VLC, Quicktime, Mpeg Streamclip, etc. However after I import the masters into Premiere Pro CC, 3 out of 10 shows get the audio gradually out of sync, even on the source monitor before I put them on a timeline. The behaviour continues even after I place them on a timeline.
The project settings are the same as the masters and so are the sequence settings. I've tried to recreate the project, delete and re-import, duplicate the file and import that, and no matter what I do the same 3 masters go out of sync after the import.
I've tried to find a solution in many forums and despite noticing that several people have the same issue, no one has a valid solution for my problem.
I cannot go back to CS6 since my company updated their systems to CS7 so I can't even cross check.
Any suggestion will be most welcome.
Thanks in advance peeps.

Couple of suggestions.
First, rather than opening the Master export, go back to the original project. That should open fine in CC.
Second, with a CC subscription, you do have access to the full CS6 suite.

Sound out of sync on video on n97

I HAVE JUST NOTICED THAT THE VIDEOS THAT I HAVE DOWNLOADED ONTO MY N97 HAVE THE SOUND OUT OF SYNC,ANY IDEA WHY AND HOW TO FIX IT?

First off, don't SHOUT.
Second, do the videos play correctly on a PC or other device?, maybe the video is out of sync with the audio in the file.
Third, if the video plays correctly in other PC or device, then what's the bitrate and framerate?, maybe it's too high for the N97 to handle.
640K Should be enough for everybody

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.

Sound is out of sync in iMovie and video freezes at a part but audio continues. How do i fix this???

Can someone please help me. I have even tried the youtube videos and can't seem to get the sound to sync up on my videos in Imovie. Also, one part just stalls and stays on the same frame but the audio continues on fine.
I NEED HELP!!! This is for school and I can't hand this in all wacked out

44100 Hz is fine and the audio codec is fine. Most camcorders record at 48000 Hz, but audio CDs are recorded are 44100 Hz, and iMovie handles them well.
However, your video frame rate is an odd number. A camcorder in the US will usually record at 29.97 frames per second. In Europe, the standard is 25 fps. On some cameras, you also have the option of 24 fps (same as a Hollywood movie).
Your camera is recording at 14.89, which is about half of the 29.97 standard. I am guessing that the video is from a webcam or maybe a cell phone or still camera. It is difficult to sync audio over long periods of time if your video is not conforming to the standards. Cameras like this may record at varioable rates, so sometimes you get more than 14.89 and sometimes less. Your best bet would be to make an iMovie project at 29.97 fps, so that it will basically repeat each frame of your video twice to get up to 29.78 fps. Even so, it will drift out of sync over time.
If you had Final Cut Pro X, you could use the tools in FCP to conform your video and audio to a 29.97 timeline and probably keep it synced better. Long term, your best bet is to use a camcorder that can shoot 29.97 (or 30) fps.
Short term, I would suggest keeping your clips in your project short. For your 15 minute clip, drag in the first minute, then the 2nd minute, etc. untill you have it all. Even so, it may drift. Detaching audio is probably not necessary.

Import from iMovie 5 to 6: Now sound out of sync

I'd been editing short films in iMovie 5.
Today I bought iLife 6, hoping for improvements. In the first iMovie (from v5) I opened, the sound is slightly out of sync with the image.
This is a major problem.
I'm an actor putting together clips for my reel of TV & film work. Obviously, the result has to be as impressive as the sources allow.
Please advise. I dare not use iMovie 6 until this is fixed.

matt,
Thanks for your comment.
In this clip, original is from a DVD (Columbia Student film). I've been using a ADVC100 to transfer to computer file. No problems with sound sync in iMovie pre-5 or 5.
I can start from scratch in iMovie 6 if I absolutely must, but I've got other clips edited in v5, and I've spent too much time with these to risk the sync issue.
In any case, the audio seems a major bug in v6.

Sound goes out of sync after pausing video

Hi everyone,
Got a 1 month old Apple TV which is working just great with videos bought off the store... However I've run into a really annoying problem when watching videos that I've encoded myself. They will all play just fine, from beginning to end - unless I pause them. When the videos are un-paused the sound is badly out of sync, and no amount of pausing/unpausing stopping/starting will get it back in sync again. Best I can do is restart from the beginning and fast forward to the same spot and this usually results in a better sync - but not perfect. This happens with both SD and HD encoded video. They are playing off the internal drive having been synced over from my itunes library.
My Apple TV is on 3.0.1 firmware and I'm running iTunes on a Windows 7 laptop. I've been using "Any Video Converter Pro" (http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video/)to re-encode my videos as I don't know much about the subject and it has an AppleTV option which makes it really easy...
Here's the settings used for a typical video file: 1280x720 resolution with a 3500kbs bit-rate at 25fps, audio bit-rate of 128kbs with a 44100 sample rate. 2 channels.
Would be grateful for any ideas on what's going wrong here as this is really spoiling my enjoyment of the apple tv.
Cheers,
Steve

Sounds like the encoder software causing issues.
When I encode on the Mac from my Camcorder to itunes/ATV I use HandBrake with good results - there is linux and Windoze versions versions available.
It has a preset for ATV as the destination which saves the hassle of tweaking the settings to start with....
It's been around sometime and was fantastic help when I went from Windoze to Mac a few years ago, and I wanted to re-encode all those files I had still in raw DV format from the camera.
