Sound out of sync when burning a movie on The Mac.

Thanks

The best solution would be to use a DV capture utility and then import the resulting file(s) into final cut.
Aplle itself offers capture utilities, which can be found in the Developer Firewire SDK:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305924
You need a free Developer account and to download the SDK there. After installation you will find a new folder on your harddrive called "Developer"
There are several capture utilities in the program section of the SDK. You want to use the one called "VirtualDV". It´s very simple, but powerful though. It does capture without sync loss, compared to capturing via the Quicktime framework, like Final Cut and iMovie do. It simply grabs the raw DV stream coming from the Firewire interface.
After the capturing you have a Quicktime readable raw DV file, which easily can be imported to be worked with in any DV capable software.

  • A portion of audio that is synced in iMovie, is out of sync when burned with iDVD. How can I avoid this?

    I'm trying to burn a simple movie, using iMovie and finishing in iDVD. A portion of the audio is out of sync when burned, despite it being in sync in iMovie. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Try to - Save as a DiskImage - then test this with Apple DVD-tool.
    Does this play OK - burn this DiskImage by using Disk Util tool.
    Set down burn speed to x2 or 4

  • Why is sound out of sync when I burn a DVD?

    I finished a movie in iMovie 4 as I always have and opened iDVD from iMovie. After creating the opening title and burning the disk, I discovered that the sound was slightly out of sync with the image. It was fine in iMovie. Any ideas what went wrong?

    Welcome to the forums.
    There can be sync problems if the original video was
    captured in Long Play mode or the camcorder's audio
    quality is on the lower setting. You can search the
    forum for other solutions, but one option to try is
    Extracting the audio in iMovie. This will make a
    copy of the original audio and put it on one of your
    audio tracks (and mute the original audio). The
    copied audio often will behave better.
    John
    Thank you, John-
    Your suggestion about extracting all the audio worked. My latest DVD burn was in snyc.
    I am still confused as to why such a workaround is even neccessary. I have never had this problem of out of sync audio with any other projects. Why it suddenly happened is a mystery to me. I'm very happy your suggestion worked but it is rather labor intensive if it has to be done on every project from now on.
    Any ideas out there?
    Thanks again.

  • Audio goes in and out of sync when burned dvd played on standard DVD player

    I made a short film recently (7:00 mins) and once completed and burned to DVD using iDVD and DVD Studio Pro about 20% of the clips have out of sync audio. Just slightly out of sync. Some more noticeable than others.
    Playing off the timeline syncs perfect, the exported prores 422 mov file syncs perfectly, and if the finished DVD is played on my mac or my pc the sync is perfect, but when played on a standard dvd player to my TV I get the syncing problem, but only at certain points through the film. As I said, about 20% of it. The rest of the film is fine.
    Shot on Canon 5d mkII - footage converted to prores 422 1920x1080. Audio recorded on Zoom H4N with some ADR recorded on logic pro. Audio synced manually using clapper board reference. Using a 27'iMac with current OSX update as of 14 March 2011. Edited in FCP 7, exported to proress 422, burned to DVD with current iDVD and DVD Studio Pro, all current versions and updates.
    I have tried exporting to mpg4 and mpg2 - no joy. I checked audio bit rates and discovered the logic recorded stuff was 44.1khz as opposed to 48, so I converted to 48 but still no fix.
    I am STUMPPED
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers
    Dallas

    Should I convert just the clips which are out of sync in the DVD, or all of theclips in the FCP timeline?
    If that is the issue, wouldn't I have the problem in the final prores mov as opposed to just when its played dvd to tv?
    Ill try it though. Its an odd problem so its likely to have an odd solution. Willing to try anything at this point.
    Thank you.

  • Audio and Video become increasingly out of sync when watching a movie.

    When I watch a movie from my itunes folder (purchased) the audio and video become increasingly out of sync. It is like watching an old Godzilla movie. I am using itunes on a Dell XPS M1530 running windows 7. Does anyone have a solution to this? I am not sure if I have a hardware problem or a software problem.
    Thanks,

  • Sound out of sync when capturing to External Hard Drive

    I've been trying to capture my short film footage (5 - 60 min. mini dv tapes) on FCP without the audio getting WAY out of sync. All the footage is off. Any ideas? Here's some more info: I capture the whole 60 minutes of the tape at once. (And then I was gonna split it up later.) It all looks fine through the LCD monitor as it plays, but when I look at the footage after capturing, it's way off. I have a G-Raid, 500 gig ex. h/d that is empty. I have a PowerBook G4.
    Can you capture it on your external h/d without this happening? Or do you have to capture on your internal? (which I believe, I don't have enough memory there.
    Help, please, please, please.

  • Audio goes out of sync when i open project on diff macs

    i have an iMovie project created on an iMac saved to an external.
    I go to open the project up on my macbook and the audio is out of sync.
    I go back to my iMac with the same project and it works just fine.
    I'm a bit confused because both macs use Mac OS X 10.6.4 and iMovie 8.0.6
    what other differences might there be?
    any input is appreciated as I'd love to work on projects while out in the field!

    Try exporting the iMovie project as a single full quality dv format quicktime file.
    I use iMovie6 HD and this is my usual procedure that works well.
    Make the movie in iMovie, will involve many separate clips. When finished, export (share) as a single full quality dv format quick time file. When I have an hours worth of smaller projects, I create a new iMovie project and import all of the quicktime .dv files for each separate short project. I add chapter markers in this project, then share with iDVD. I then burn an hours worth of stuff at best quality and distribute to family and friends.
    iDVD seems to work better with iMovie source that has fewer clips.
    BTW: Are you having problems with standard def or hi def iMovie source. Another part of my procedure is that I take the raw tapes and download the entire thing into one iMovie project. I don't edit or change the footage at all, just want to archive to DVD for posterity. In this case, I want to share the iMovie project with iDVD directly. This has worked OK for standard def projects, but my first hi def project (1080i) that I tried, the sound was out of sync. To fix this, I had to create a regular DV widescreen iMovie project, and drag all the clips into it from the HD project. It took over an hour for my humble mac mini to convert the files, but I was then able to share with iDVD and the finished DVD worked ok.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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

  • Out of Sync when importing rendered sequence

    This is the first time I've had this happen and haven't been able to solve the problem yet and haven't found any solutions yet through searching. Using CS5.5, I'm building a show consisting of 7 or 8 already rendered sequences. All seem fine when put together, but one sequence is thrown way out of sync when I import it. The file plays fine otherwise and it isn't until it's imported into premiere that the problem occurs. I've tried re-rendering several times and get the same out of sync problems. And it eventually gets wildly out of sync, not just a few seconds. The properties of the clip are:
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 1.5 GB
    Image Size: 1920 x 820
    Frame Rate: 23.976
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 00:04:23:09
    Average Data Rate: 6.0 MB / second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
    This is the same as all the other rendered/imported sequences. I'm at a loss here. Is there anyone who can help steer me to solving this?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Just so that everyone is on the same page, when you say "rendered," is it safe to assume that you mean that that file was Exported, and then is being Imported into a new Project?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Ipad audio and sound out of sync

    For a few months my iPad's audio has been out of sync with videos as well as the sounds like the keyboard clicks. Sometimes it is more out of sync, sometimes less. I have tried turning the device off and on again, resetting preferences, and searching online with no solutions found. Anyone know how I can fix this?

    I'm having similar problems transferring VHS video to Quicktime. Another problem I'm having is when I transfer a VHS video to iMovie and then export the video to H.264 format, I have similar sync problems, even though the iMovie seems perfectly in sync.
    I'm going to try to transfer several alternative video formats (video from my cable DVR, Video from live TV, and video from a digital mini cassette to try and figure out whether the VHS format is the culprit. Will keep you posted.

  • Chapter points get out of sync while burned to DVD

    In the timeline I had to trim an mpeg file for 12 seconds. Later on I added chapters. In the preview everything works fine, but when burned to a DVD, the chapter points get out of sync more and more. At the end it's about 30 seconds on a film of 60 minutes. Even the film stops 30 seconds earlier.
    What is going wrong here?
    Han Bouman

    Yes! This is indeed true; I just noticed this today. It doesn't appear to have any actual affect on the DVD. The first chapter starts out right at 0:00 but by the end, it's off (as compared to the project file) by mannnnnnny seconds. Why does this happen?

  • 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

  • Audio out of sync when playing HD content

    Hey
    I've got an issue with the audio gets out of sync when playing some HD content. I've tried to make sure the video is stored on the Apple TV so it can't be the network connection.
    I've also tried a full reset of the unit, but still no luck.
    But it's all video clips that has this problem. Even though they encoded the same and so on, some videos audio get out of synced and some don't.
    Also have a problem with m4v files locking the ATV (and iTunes for that matter), but renaming it to a mp4 file seems to solve it. But if someone has a fix for that as well I'd much appreciate it.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Jeaz
    EDIT: I have tried to use component cables instead of HDMI, but the problem remains. Of course also tested the video on my Mac and no problems. A quick pause and resume usually solves it, but only for a minute or so.
    Message was edited by: MrJeaz

    What sort of specification is the video content? Is spec too high for AppleTV.
    It may be that it's some kind of bug in AppleTV's playback, that the Mac does not exhibit, or an issue with encoding that causes a problem only on AppleTV.
    If you are encoding video and using same as source for the frame rate, it may be better in some cases trying explicitly to specify the frame rate required in case automatic frame rate conversion is introducing some kind of timing issue. Test a short clip to see.

  • When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!
