"The audio is inadequate to sync angle to the monitoring angle."
I'm getting this error when trying to sync in a multicam clip. What causes this error and how can it be corrected or prevented?
Seemed like one of my audio sources recorded at a slightly accelerated speed. It was slipping by about a second every 5 minutes, which confused FCP X enough that it couldn't sync the 50 minutes of footage.

Audio is Out of Sync on NTSC Preview Monitor
Hello FCP Gurus,
I recently was hired by a local Broadcast TV Affiliate and I am looking at their FCP systems. I noticed that one of the suites has a big problem with the NTSC Preview Monitoring, the audio is way out of sync.
Here's the set up:
G5 Dual 2GHZ
3GB RAM
1 Internal Western Digital SATA 160GB (System Drive)
1 Internal Maxtor SATA 300GB (Media Drive and back up system drive)
2 Monitors
MAC OSX 10.4.3
FINAL CUT PRO 4.5
AJA IO LA
So when I play back anything in the timeline the audio on the external NTSC monitor is way off, not just a little bit but a ton. I am not sure why. I know that usually there is some delay but not this much. Is there a way to configure it without any delay? The computer monitor with the FCP canvas and viewer are dead on but the NTSC is way off, it is ahead of the video.
Also, when I am editing in the timeline I have to switch the AV setting from ProIO to Built In and then I can here it. When I insert back to BetacamSP through the AJA box I have to switch it back to ProIO to lay it to tape. While it is laying to tape I cannot hear the audio or even see the FCP meters. But when I play back what I just put down on the Beta deck, the aduio is fine. The decks are in the operations rooms almost on the other side of the building.
This maybe OK for 30 sec promos but for 30 minute shows this will drive me crazy. I am responsible for all elements, including audio.
Thanks in advance.
Alexmake sure the audio is following the video.
if you are viewing video on an external monitor, make sure the audio is routed [i[the exact same path to the audio monitors. If you have the video going out through the AJA and the audio out directly from the computer, there will be a processing differential that you will hear as lag.
Also, make sure you have the most recent AJA drivers.
good luck.

My audio files no longer sync to the in the 5d in camera audio. It did when I bought the program but no longer does I reinstalled and it still will not sync the files recorded on the H4N with the Canon 5D Mark II Camera.

Why does the audio go out of sync on my Apple TV?
Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed that the audio goes out of sync with any streaming video on my Apple TV (3rd gen) after about 20 minutes of usage. I have never had this experience in the past and am not sure why it is happening, but one theory is that it has something to do with AirPlay. I'm pretty sure that this problem only happens after I use AirPlay to connect my Mac to the Apple TV. I'm not sure if this is the exact source of the issue and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and if so, what solutions may be available. Thanks.
The following article(s) may help you.

Converting NTSC to PAL in CS5, the audio is out of sync-too slow. What do I need to adjust?
Hi. I had to purchase a new Sony video camera in USA (NTSC 29.9fps). We are PAL, so most of my holiday movie is PAL 16:9 widescreen. When I imported the clips from the NTSC camera, I converted the clips to PAL 25fps but the audio is out of sync and appears to be too slow. eg. a male voice is high pitched and not quite audible. Is it the 'bit rate' difference causing the problem and if so, how do I change that in CS5? The PAL clips off my old camera are imported as MPG files. The new camera files are MTS. I am not sure if this is important but would appreciate some help. Thanks.
Adobe doesn't have any tools that perform adequate NTSC<=>PAL conversions, in my view. You may be better off creating a separate video for the NTSC stuff, keeping it as NTSC. Your player should be able to handle it fine.

Audio is out of sync when placed in the timeline!!!
When I play a clip in the viewer, everything is fine, but when the clip is placed into the timeline and played in the canvas, the audio is out of sync by about half a second. I noticed that even when I view the sound waves, what I hear does not match up with where the playhead is. This is extremely frustrating and I have currently resulted to physically moving the audio to match it up, something that I do not want to do for the duration of my film.
I read in another post that the video and the audio could not be at the same level. How can you tell if the video and audio are at the same level??
I have FCE 3.5 if that makes any difference. Any help would be much appreciated!How was this clip imported? If it was captured/ingested, did you make sure that the sample rate of the capture settings matched the sample rate of your audio? Normally FCE will give you a warning if they don't match, but it can't hurt to make sure.

I am trying to use the auto audio-sync feature. When I select the video and audio clip to be synced FCPX says its syncing them and then once finished (at 100%) no compound clip is created and the video and audio file do not sync. Any help is appreciated.
Hi
In iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x)
on top menu row - Apple/iMovie/File/Edit/Cut (Can vary dep. on language - in Swedish Apple/iMovie/Arkiv/Redigera/Klipp . . . )
down Cut menu - Slow playback/Raspid Playback/Re-play in Slow Motion and onvards
Here one can select the Pre-Set speeds
Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

I downloaded video via iMovie from my Canon HV20. The video was in HDV. I then published it to YouTube and Vimeo and in both cases, the audio is out of sync: the video precedes the audio by a fraction of a second. The original is fine as viewed in the camera.
Any suggestions as to why and how to correct it?
Thank you,

While watching a tv show in itunes the audio is not in sync with the character mouth movement
while watching a tv show in itunes the audio is not in sync with the character mouth movement
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I believe the default transfer option for TV Shows is to transfer all unplayed TV Shows. If you've already played them, this may be the reason they are not transferring any longer. Double check the preferences:
1) Connect your iPod to the computer and select it when it appears in iTunes under source (on the left).
2) Click the TV Shows tab
3) Make sure it is set to transfer all TV Shows, not just unplayed ones.
4) Click Apply/Ok

Tape archive DV tape: the audio gets out of sync.
I have some trouble with FCPX working with my DV tapes and camera (via FW).
When importing a .dv file previously imported with iMovie FCPX crashes. When I convert the file to prores with mpegstreamclip it will import but with incorrect date info.
Now I have made a Tape Archive from within FCPX and I can import from there, but the audio gets out of sync at the end of the tape.
Any suggestions?

Audio/video out of sync (audio delay) with PowerBeats wireless earphones.
I am having a problem with audio/video sync between my PowerBeats Wireless earphones with my MacPro and MacBookPro. I have tried pairing, playing the video, pausing the video, turning off the PowerBeats, tuning the PowerBeats on, then starting the video playback again. I have the same audio delay so this not working for me. Anyone have an update as to how to fix this audio/video sync problem?
I am playing MPEG-4 movie files. I did open MPlayerX from my dock, then pulled down File to select Open which then did show the folder where these movie files are stored. Then I was able to select a movie file, open it, and use "Decrease Audio Delay" to closely sync the audio with the video. I say closely because it is not perfect. Rather than stepping each increase or decrease in one tenth of a second, perhaps a finer adjustment would have been in milliseconds. This is the adjustment that I have with my AVR to sync the audio with the video, so I know this is a possible increment adjustment. The perfect adjustment was in between -0.4 and -0.5 second,however, this was not possible in one tenth second adjustments. The closest adjustment was with -0.4 second rather than with -0.5 second. So, adjustments in milliseconds could have been very near a perfect sync. Perhaps later versions of MPlayer will offer the adjustment selection in milliseconds. Nevertheless, this is working much, much better than before. Thank you so much. I have spent most of this day researching this problem and you have come up with by far the best solution. This problem goes all the way back to 2010 and possibly beyond for Apple products. There are hundreds of reports documenting out of sync audio/video issues with no solution that works as well as MPlayerX. Even the Beats support staff have no idea of how to resolve the audio/video out of sync.

Every movie I have rented and purchased the audio is out of sync with the video. If I pause the movie sometimes it goes back into sync but doesn't last long before it goes out of sync again. I have been trying to resolve this issue for the past week. I have turned off everything on the computer that manages audio, made sure all drivers and software is up to date. I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled. I've set itunes and windows bit rate the exact same and nothing seems to fix the problem. I am running Windows 8 on a new Samsung laptop, previously I was using a Gateway laptop with no problems. From my reasearch the past couple days i see this has been on on going problem with itunes users and I hope someone has a fix. I just rented a movie from Xbox Video and it worked perfectly. I think I am going to have to make the switch to Xbox but I have movies I have downloaded to itunes and would like to watch them.
Any help would be appreicated.Hello bjwilson22,
I was researching the symptom you describe and reocmmend this article named Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1718
It is pretty length, but also thorough and I feel has the best advice to help troubleshoot the issue.
All the very best,

Audio/Video Out of Sync (PE 10)
I have read some posts regarding this, but they have not been helpful.
I recordered audio/video with an ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T in 720p .mp4 format.
When importing into Premiere Elements 10 on a Windows 7 (64bit) PC, the audio and video are sometimes out sync when editing, and when they are rendered to the final product, they are always out of sync.
I have tried changing to other formats (.avi), as some people stated that variable frame rate issues can come up when using a non-camcorder to record video, but the .avi actually made it worse, to the point that only the audio played.
I turned my PC off and on again, and killed all background actions on the PC. The video plays fine in Windows Media Player and VCPlayer.
If anyone has advice as to how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. I've spent 7 hours on this project, and am more frustrated than ever.
Thank you.nierielimladris
I have downloaded your AVCHD.mp4 video, checked its properties, and studied its performance in Premiee Elements 10 Windows 7 64 bit from the point of view of import, playback of rendered Timeline in Edit Mode monitor, and playback of an AVCHD.mp4 export of that Timeline content. I stared into the monitor to watch the lip movements as the sound played back. In any of the following I have not observed any out of sync audio.
MediaInfo basic properties included
a. AVCHD video compression, frame size 1280 x 720 @ 15.119 progressive frames per second (variable frame rate with minimum = 13.501 and maximum at 18.793)
b. AAC audio, mono.
Premiere Elements 10 project preset that I used was
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD LITE 720p24
In Project media, Interpret Footage told me that it recognized a frame rate of 15.0710.
Rendered the Timeline content and watched the lip movement as I listened to the audio. No out of sync audio.
For export,
Share
Computer
AVCHD
Presets = MP4 HD720p24
under the Advanced Button/Video Tab, I set for 1220 x 720 @ 15 progressive frames per second. The export settings dialog under Advanced Button/Video Tab looked like the following
I watched the playback of this AVCHD.mp4 export and again did not observe any out of sync audio.
All video playbacks were with Windows Media Player 12.
Have you worked specifically with the video clip that you provided for download? If you have and you
found out of sync audio, then I am suspecting that this might be a system rather than a video problem.
It is a way out stretch, but...there have been some strange display goings on with Premiere Elements 10 and NVIDIA video card drivers recently. For all these cases, the answer has been rolling back the video card driver instead of the typical "making sure you have the latest version of the driver installed". What video card are you using in your computer?
Please review and then we can decide what next.
Just a note...this is a public forum with many viewing. Please do not post anything that would invade your privacy or is of a personal nature.
