Sync Problems upon export

when i view my exported footage i see the dialigue and lips are not in sync. i am exporting to my sony vx2100. this has happened a few times before but i never got to the bottom of it. seems hit and miss. hoping someone can help. something with my settings on my imovie, comp, or cam?
thanks

You can fix it with iMovie '06, but it's too complicated to explain in detail here. Read the documentation, or get the book 'iMovie 06 - The missing manual', which explains this stuff very nicely.
Basically, you want to go to Advanced -> Extract audio, followed by Advanced -> Unlock audio clip at playhead. Now you have the audio in a separate track, and you can drag audio and video separate from each other, until it's in sync.

  • Major "BUG" in Imovie 9 - Audio Sync Problem on Export  !

    Well I'm a hard-core Apple user from day one, but unfortunately today I'm not to proud about the latest version of Imovie 9.
    It seems there has been a "MAJOR audio sync problem on export" in Imovie 9, since July 2009. Apple knows about this bug for a long time now, but didn't release any bugfix yet!
    Here's what it's all about:
    It seems if you use the (custom /manual) speed-adjustments and not the preset slider speeds, you will experience (after exporting your movie) annoying bursts of audio from clips that had been set to mude. The strange thing is that you will only experience this audio-bug after exporting, you will NOT experience it in the project playback mode!
    Here's what you can do:
    Find ALL the clips in your Project that are Speed Adjusted.
    Instead of using a "Custom Speed" percentage, use any of the "Preset Speeds"
    Preset Speeds on the Slider = 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400%, 800%
    Then, export your project as usual.
    No more sync issues.
    Really hope That Apple will come up with a real BUGFIX soon.
    It's a shame that a major bug in a otherwise GREAT PRODUCT, hasen't been fixed yet!
    What's wrong with Apple?...this is not one of their finest hours.
    Still A BIG fan from Imovie HD,...I'll chance to Imovie 9 when the bugs are finaly fixed!

    This is TERRIBLE! I have spent so much time working on this project, and I really don't want to adjust the speed settings to the preset levels, BECAUSE I need to motion of the video to match certain musical points. I can't re-film my video, and I needed this project done TODAY. I made a music video with some kids at summer camp, and today is the last day- the day we were supposed to all watch it together, and now, I've got NOTHING!!!! (Because I can't export it without all those glitches!)
    I am MAJORLY DISAPPOINTED on this one. I've made movies in windows movie maker before, and purposely used imovie, because you know, everything on macs is supposed to be better. Well, I guess I was wrong.

  • Weird audio out of sync problem after export

    This is the second time I've run into this problem. My video and audio are in sync in my timeline, but upon export to QT, one of the clips (but ONLY one of the clips) is out of sync. I tried exporting two different times: same result.
    Doesn't make sense to me. All the clips were imported from the same DV tape from my Canon HV30.
    Can anyone give me some advice here?? Thanks.

    How are you exporting? The first quicktime export option or quicktime conversion? What are your settings for the export?
    Did you capture with device control with abort capture on dropped frames and create new clip on timecode break enabled?

  • Audio Visual Sync Issue Upon Export

    Hello All,
    I am having an issue I have heard many people have but cannot get fixed using the recommended suggesstions.
    I am working on a documentary piece that is about 01:52:00 in length. I want to export this project for eventual DVD burning. I am initially exporting the project:
    1. Using Quicktime Conversion
    I have changed the "Movie Settings" to:
    2. MPEG-4
    3. Default "Frame Rate," and "Data Rate"
    4. Changed "Compressor Quality" to "Best"
    I have changed the "Size Settings" to:
    5. HD: 1440 x 1080 16:9
    The sound settings are default:
    6. Linear PCM
    7. Stereo (L R)
    8. all clips are 48 kHz
    9. Changed Render settings "Quality" to Best.
    10. Linear PCM Settings Sample Size--16bits
    Now the issue I have encountered is that the audio/video in the FCP timeline is in sync and looks great. But when I do the export the audio is about 1sec ahead of the video. I have several cuts along the piece. and this audio sync problem occurs throughout but it only comes up on the cuts. There are some clips that are in perfect sync but then there are about 1/3 to 1/2 of the clips that fall out of sync. If anyone knows what I could do to fix this I would be grateful, also I should note I am using FCP 5.

    You're in the wrong forum. You need to ask your question in the Final Cut Studio forum.

  • Sync problems while exporting

    Hi everyone--
    I have one clip in my sequence where the audio was out of sync on the actual tape. In Final Cut, I was able to align it so that it matched up with the video. However, when I go to export, FCP realigns the video and audio how it was on the tape, which is not usable.
    I've tried going to modify and unlinking the video from the audio but it hasn't helped. How can I get my sequence to export just as it is on the timeline without it "trying to fix itself"?

    • How do you know the camera's audio was recorded out of sync?
    • How are you monitoring your audio?
    Occasionally people set up a monitoring situation where the signal path introduces a perceivable lag in the audio. Then, they adjust the sync to fix a problem that doesn't really exist.

  • Random Sync Loss Upon Export - HELP!

    So now I'm having an absolutely insane issue here.
    I am cutting in a DVCPro HD 720p60 project that originated on the Panasonic P2. The video was shot at 24pn and the frame rate is 23.98.
    I have finished cutting my project and despite my bizarre rendering issue which, I discovered also includes fade and dissolves (see my post "rendering issue with HD" http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=729150&tstart=30) I was able to figure a workout and finish the spot.
    Now, when I export a Quicktime (with conversion AND without conversion) random clips are going out of sync with no logic or explanation. About four clips in the sequence export with the audio trailing by about 2 to 4 frames. This is crazy, right? When I watch the sequence down in the timeline, everything is fine, but when the quicktime is made, these clips lose sync. I was able to compensate by guessing the amout of frames that the audio trailed and sliping them out of sync in the timeline to compensate, but this is a massive issue.
    Has anyone experienced anything like this? I can't really imagine a more frustrating problem. I feel like this has something to do with the rendering again, but I'm not sure what.

  • Audio sync problems after export

    I've been having this problem occasionally ever since starting to use Premiere Pro CS6, and it's now also happening again in the latest version of CC (just updated to 7.2.2 on W7, 64bit):
    A perfectly synced sequence that plays fine in its rendered preview loses sync with its audio (or the audio with the video) after exporting to mp4. (preset H.264 format). I have tried trouble shooting by deleting all render files, restarted application and computer, played with different media players... to no avail.
    Admittedly the raw footage happens to be a wmv file. Which I know is not ideal. But what bugs me is that everything is perfectly in sync up to the point of creating the export file. That makes no sense. I'm about to counteract this shift now by separating the audio from the video and making up the frame difference manually, but it feels wrong to do that and is a silly hack to something the software shouldn't mess up in the first place.
    Any ideas?

    Holy cow, that was easy. You were right, that worked. Doooh.
    Thanks.

  • Problems upon Export

    I have noticed that some, but not all, DNG's and Tiffs that I export out of LR (v.1.3) appear to lose some contrast and become a little darker when viewed outside of LR. This occurs whether exporting as jpegs (sRGB) or Tiffs (aRGB, 8 bit). In order to bring them back to the way they appeared in LR I need to reopen in PS and do a levels adjustment with the white point and midtone sliders. Color is not affected.
    This only happens with export. I can move images back and forth between LR and PS during processing without any problems.
    Any ideas?

  • Slight but noticeable sync problem when exporting to MOV

    Hello,
    So I have tried everything I can think of, as well as everything that has been recommended to me, to avoid sync issues but there is still a very noticeable delay in the video of my MOV exports. The strange thing is, while most people seem to have problems with the audio being delayed, and becoming progressively delayed as the video plays, my case seems to be the opposite. It's the video that is delayed( or perhaps the audio playing too soon) and it actually seems to get a little better as the video plays. I would estimate the delay to be from 1/2 to 1/8 a second depending on how far along the video is.
    So far I have tried increasing the bit rate, setting the compression to 'raw', cutting up the audio, making sure to import mp3s, among other common recommendations, and but there is still a delay.Could this be my computer(which is pretty crappy)? Or is this just the nature of MOV exports?
    Any aid would be very much appreciated.

  • Audio Sync problem after exporting

    App : Imovie
    Device : Ipad 2
    iOS : 4.3.3
    Rushes : MP4 from a FLIP camera
    Audio track : m4a
    The project is around 9 minutes. Sync ok in Imovie. After exporting, the sync is ok in the beginning but loosing it more and more as the movie goes.......i tried all the options on exporting, nothing changes. This is getting me mad......Any solutions ?

    I am assuming this is because the way the flip camera embeds the audio.
    The problem with editing non-iframe video is that it does not have all seperate frames.
    And so the audio is sync in blocks to video.
    I assume that the reason iMovie iOS is stated as only supporting video shot on an iOS device is that this video has a "standard" way to sync audio.
    There are many different ways to encode mp4s.
    Editing a non-Apple iOS standard video may give you these problems.
    So the only real solution I can give is to convert all your video to the same standard as the iPad shoots.
    You should tell Apple here, and ask for a fix:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/imovie_iOS.html
    And also email other editing app creators and ask them to port to the iPad.
    Then you will have more options to edit then just iMovie iOS.

  • Audio sync problem when exporting between FCP6 and Soundtrack

    Hi, I'm a newbie to this so apologies for any glaring errors.
    I've recently upgraded to FC studio 2 and have exported the audio of an existing 20 minute custom format quicktime project (720x408, 30fps,) to soundtrack for sweetening.
    Trouble is, when returning the audio back to FCP, the audio is shorter by several seconds and therefor totally out of sync! I've also tried outputting the multitrack audio from within FCP and bringing it back in as a single file and this is also out by several seconds. The output settings are the same as the project.
    If I do nothing to the audio and simply send it to compressor; the M2v and it's aiff play in sync in Quicktime.
    Any ideas or work arounds?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

  • Font Problems Upon Exporting

    Hello everyone,
    I'm currently working on creating some files with added Flash
    components. My issue, though small, is that even though I have all
    the text boxes set to 12 point Arial inside Captivate 3, once I
    export to Flash 8 all the text reverts to 14 point inside of Flash.
    While going through and changing all the text fields back to
    12 point isn't difficult it's rather time consuming. I'm wondering
    if anyone knows if I'm missing a preferences panel or if there's a
    work around available.
    Thanks

    I would like to share our discovery as to why the above
    mentioned problem happened:
    After almost an entire day devoted to investigating,
    troubleshooting and comparing "good" and "bad" captivate files, I
    remembered what you said about the size of the movie, and then
    things clicked. I finally found out what caused the problem.
    The following check boxes were checked in the "blurry"
    movies:
    Project > Skin > playback control > show playback
    control
    and
    Project > Skin > borders > show borders.
    This "display" of borders caused a slight change in the size
    of the entire movie, therefore it looked strange when displayed in
    HTML.
    I unchecked them both, published again and now it's fine.
    This now raises a different question - why were these
    checkboxes checked in some files (we never touched these particular
    settings before), and why haven't we encountered this problem
    before -- after all, we've been working with captivate all day
    every day for the past 1.5 years...

  • Premiere Elements 8: Audio sync problem when exporting to Quicktime H.264

    Program plays back fine on the timeline also when saved as a mpeg file. QT file audio sync is off. Using QT player to play back. Any thoughts?

  • Audio sync problem: exporting from FCP to Pro tools or soundtrack pro

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Final Cut Pro sound export for mastering.....sync problem
    Hey,
    I'm editing a 30 minute film and I have done most of the sound edit in FCP and Soundtrack pro and I want to now bring all the sound into pro tools to master the sound but every time i export sound into pro tools it seems to stretch by two or three seconds.
    I have tried OMF, AIFF, XML, and Quicktime audio file sut to no avail!!!!
    There are 50 tracks in the file so it is quiet large. It's not that there are handles of the file also as when I sync the file with the audio track with the video it syncs in one place but it is still out of sync in another.........It's as if the audio has been stretched!?!
    If anyone has any advice it'd be much appreciated
    Keith

    Try mixing down the audio first. Sequence/Render Only/Audio mixdown.
    You could even try exporting the audio with the Export QT movie command using "current settings" and reimport that file, Add that mixed down file to a copy of the sequence. If it syncs in FCP I'd think it will sync on export too.

  • Upon export, audio and video are out of sync.

    While editing, my cuts are lined up with beats in the music, but after export they shift approximately 5 frames, making my cuts appear later.
    The Sequence settings match the clip settings at 23.976 fps, and i've tried just about everything I can think of to fix the issue.
    I've reverted back to previous Autosaves of the project, tried numerous export settings, separate and new projects, different machines, but nothing seems to work.
    At this point I'll take any and all suggestions.

    Please UN-check the "Frame Blending" box, that is only used when changing frame rates. The source and export are both 23.976, so that can only cause issues (blurring between frames with motion). Also uncheck "Max Render Quality", that is used for SCALING, such as 1080 to 720, or HD to SD. Your source and destination are both 1080p.
    Rule of thumb - do NOT check boxes unless you really know what they do and the results they provide - the DEFAULT settings are there for a reason ;-)
    Also, I never use "Match Source" - rather, figure out where the video is going (Blu-ray, web, device, etc.) and find an appropriate PRESET - there are tons of them under "H.264".
    I'm assuming the video source is also 23.976? If source doesn't match sequence settings, that can be an issue with sync.
    Try exporting entire sequence rather than In to Out. Try EXPORT rather than Queue.
    Last thing, what is the source of the video footage? Some phones use "Variable Bitrate" recording and Premiere is not equipped to deal with that very well.
    Thanks
