Video and audio off sync

I've been noticing for about 3 - 4 months that the audio and video are not in sync on channels like National Geographic and Discovery. Anyone else notice this? It happens both on recorded programs and watching live. it is just enough to be annoying. I have not contacted support about it yet...
I'm in the washington state area.

Video and Audio not synced on .mov file in final cut, but perfect in QT!

I recently just captured a miniDV tape onto final cut. I captured it in 23.98fps. After I captured it and opened it up in final cut's sequence, the video and audio was not synced at all. it's way off and even when i try to move the audio around on the timeline and get one voice synced up, about a minute into the video it's off again.
i tried opening the video in quick time under the captured scratch folder, and when it plays in quick time, it's perfect. there is no sync problem at all. only when i open it in final cut is there a problem.
does anyone know how to fix this or what is going wrong?!
HELP ME

well i mean we recorded it in 24PA, which is what we've been doing for this project of ours. And when we go to capture in final cut we choose the Advanced Pull Down setting. So in the end, our video is in 23.98 fps.
I just thought I'd mention that just to give more details. idk if it's helpful or not

Any Way To Keep Video And Audio In Sync When Editing A Project?

When adding or deleting a video or picture to the main storyline, my secondary audio gets out of sync and I have to go back and manually reposition all the audio. Is there someway to force the audio and video to stay in sync?

Connect the two via Target Disk Mode using a Firewire cable.
1. Boot the computer to which you want to transfer data into Target Disk Mode.
2. Boot the other computer normally.
3. The TDM computer's hard drive will appear on the other computer's Desktop.
4. Transfer files as you would to any hard drive.

Video and Audio Not Sync

When I import the video from my camcorder(JVC GR-HD1U) via firewire the video and the audio do not match. does anyone know how to fix this.

welcome Delta X to the  board...
long imports (>15 - 20min) of NTSC content get out of sync, due to some specs trouble (NTSC has 29.95 fps, but audio is an even 48KHz... that "shifts" the audio... known NTSC problem...)
there's a fix on the web, never tried my own, me PAL country:
Movie out of sync fix
I've read reports, to import just smaller segments of your tape (see iM's prefs) could solve the problem too... give that a try...

Video and audio not sync when i play all forms of video. from music videos, to tv shows. but they play perfect on my iPod. and tv shows display out of order on iPod, but in correct order on iTunes/computer. I even ran a virus check just to make sure.

audio and video do not syncronize. all forms of videos. music videos to tv shows. what do i need to do the syncronize them again
they are in sync on iPod, but not on computer.
another issue that might be from the same cause is, the order of episodes of the tv shows i have downloaded, they appear in order on computer, but on iPod they show out of order.
any tips on how to fix this would very much help.
thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
An old version of iTunes will cause this and mess up the videos on your iPod. Always make sure you always use an up-to-date version of iTunes.
Make sure all the software on your computer is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
You will then need to restore the iPod and then let iTunes update your iPod and put your music, videos, etc. back onto your iPod...

Imported Video and Audio not sync

Hi. Im new to a mac, and have imported all my old files over, having a problem with some video...
I imported several videos into iMovie. The first group, some vacation movies, are fine. The next group, which was more movies and much longer, has had problems. About the first half of the video is fine, but the 2nd half will not work properly. originally it would play the audio but no video, just black. now, after remove some other videos from the same area, it will show the picture in the little box on the bottom, or on the top if I put it up into the project, and plays the correct audio, but the video will both up top and in the little box for that section of movie is from one of the earlier clips that was working on its own.
any ideas how to fix this?

So I just solved the issue, partially...I was able to use iPhoto to import the movies that were having the problem, so I can view them again. I still cant load them all up in iMovie, it has the same problem.

Video and audio not in sync

Anybody else experiencing video & audio not in sync since upgrading to Lion? I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch, Early 2011 with
AMD Radeon HD 6490M 256 MB graphics. I mostly stream You Tube, Netflix, & news videos and occasionally watch movies I have in iTunes or on DVD, and since upgrading, I've seen out of sync video and audio in every one of these situations. Sometimes it starts out OK and then slowly deteriorates. Other times it just starts out that way and stays that way. Happens with all browsers as well as iTunes and DVD Player. Tried a few Google searches but haven't come across any postings reporting this with Lion, so I thought I would try here. Thanks for any confirmations and/or pointers to a solution if there is one.

Ahh...boom. I have it too. Forgot it was even there. I had it turned off back when running Snow Leopard since it was glitchy. Apparenty, I somehow reenabled it and wasn't even aware it was on since its volume was turned down. After disabling it, all video & audio appears to be in sync.
boom...the sound you'll hear as I nuke it from my system.
Thanks efrancis76 for figuring this out. Much appreciated!

My Video and Audio are not syncing up after importing

I am trying to edit a few Ipad Clips in premier pro. My video and audio are not syncing. They are .mov lower resolution from the ipad. The original audio is fine - but after I put in a sequence the audio is off a few seconds (ahead). I did not add any affects or change anything. Please advise?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Allison

Premiere does not work well with variable frame rate video which, I expect, the ipad produces, You might have to convert the footage before you import it into Premiere. Do a forum search for variable frame rate, there are a lot of posts.

Recording Video and Audio at Same time with simultaneous sync

I want to record a keyboard performance into garageband and at the same time record the playing of that performance with my video camera. Then I want to create a movie using the music from garageband and the video from the camera. I was thinking that if I can sync the video and audio when I'm recording the session, then that part is taken care of. Or, maybe this is easier than I think it is?
Is there a way to do this so that I can use the garageband record performance and have it synced to the video on the camera?
I don't want to use the audio from the video camera because the performance that is captured in Garageband will be much better and I can do editing of the individual notes in GB.
In the end, I just want to make a movie and/or podcast of the performance.
I'm a newbie regarding this, but I did search the forums and couldn't find anything specific. Mostly it was about importing video into GB3 and then syncing new audio. I'll basically have audio and video from the same performance in two separate locations and I want to bring them together perfectly in Garageband.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Powerbook G4 - DVI Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Okay. I got the video and audio all together. I told you I'd link to it when it was up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxssYpUNJm8
There's also a copy of it at http://www.myspace.com/bonjimmy/
And as a quick side comment, even though I uploaded the same video to both YouTube and MySpace, the MySpace version is much better. YouTube must do something to the video after it's uploaded.
What I learned doing this project:
I recorded the video first (which gave me the sequencing of the piano performance) and then I dubbed the audio in later. However, there wasn't a good way to sync the video and the prerecorded piano, so there are some spots where the dubbed audio vocal isn't accurate to the video. I'm not sure what the pros do for this. I was hoping I'd remember how I sang for the video but when a couple weeks go by before re-doing the audio, it's about impossible. I tried, though.
I remember working with an old 4-track and smpte to a sequencer a long time ago. With the way it is now, it's pretty cool that you can record digitally and mix and match and everything falls together perfectly as long as you have a place to match the video and the audio. It's pretty cool.
What else???
Does anyone have suggestions that would have made it better? Also, if you have suggestions on my performance or whatever, I'd love comments, but you can do that on the linked page.
Thanks again for all your help. (The point of the video is because I'm thinking about getting back out there and doing some more playing... I'm looking for a band or something else interesting...)

How to align or sync video and audio?

In Premiere 13, once I have added a video/audio clip and then either slow down the clip or add photos in between the clip causes the video and audio to be out of sync. How does one re-align or re-sync the clip once it has been edited? Thanks

mrsndmn
On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
There are several ways to avoid disturbing an existing Timeline when you are adding to it.
1. Using what are called keyboard modifiers, such as Ctrl or Alt (Windows).
2. Grouping block of clips so that the clips move together
The following video tutorial is offered for informational and not promotional reasons
Premiere Elements: Arranging clips on the Timeline using modifier keys | lynda.com - YouTube
It uses a version of Premiere Elements earlier than 13, but the principles involved are the same.
The video and audio that are going out of sync.... are they linked or grouped before the addition to the existing Timeline?
After the fact, you will need to move the Timeline components back in place.
If the video and audio are not linked or group, you can
(a) highlight the clip, hold down the Alt key of the computer main
keyboard and tap the appropriate arrow key for a 1 frame per tap nudge of the clip.
(b) highlight the clip, hold down the Shift+Alt key of the computer main
keyboard and tap the appropriate arrow key for a 5 frames per tap nudge of the clip.
Please review and consider. If questions or need clarification on the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Video and audio not in sync. Other answers here do not help.

My audio and video are not in sync in many streams but some are OK.
I do not have any extensions, add-ons and I am using the default theme. I have disabled hardware acceleration. I am now running in Safe Mode and the problem persists.
The video and audio sync for the first few minutes and then they work their way futhter and further apart, usually several seconds out of sync. I don't think this particular situation has been covered in the other posts.

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Video and Audio not in sync after capture

Hi there,
This is probably a common problem, I have trawled the site but can't seem to find and explanation for it.
I'm capturing vide/audio into final cut pro from my SONY DVR. The video i have streaming into the sony DVR is from a small covert video device which records video/audio onto an SD card. SO I'm running that into the DVR and then DVR is outputting that as DV PAL firewire (uncontrollable device).
I'm capturing the 40 minutes of video as one clip, and when i drag it into the timeline the audio and video are WAY out of sync. Is there a simple reason for why this is happening?
It's almost as if not capturing it right.
I hope someone can help,
Thanks in advance.
Jamie McIntyre

It is interesting that you are having this problem. I recently purchased a brand new Mac Pro (a week ago) and I am using Premiere Pro and it is doing the exact same thing. I mean this video and audio is REALLy out of sync. I tried capturing an hour at a time, and 30 minutes at a time. Still, no luck. I was debating on getting Final Cut, but after reading this post I am rethinking not only Final Cut, but using Apple all together. Part of me thinks that it is not a Premiere or Final Cut problem but a Mac OS problem. But hey, what do I know. I only edit for a living.

I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync. They work fine when played in Quicktime.

Hello,
I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync as soon as I load it into the program. It appears to work fine in Quicktime.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. This is the plan.
Open Premiere Elements 12/12.1 to the Expert workspace.
In the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In the Change Settings area, select the project preset
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD LITE 720p30
OK out of there. In the New Project dialog that appears, note that it has your new project preset named.
Be sure to put a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". And, then OK out of there.
Back in the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders to bring your video
into Project Assets. From Project Assets drag your video to the Timeline Video Track 1/Audio Track 1.
Is there an orange line over the content in the Timeline. See screenshot for orange line to which I am referring.
There should be no colored line over the content if the project preset matches the video properties. But, if you do see
that orange line, then render the Timeline content by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard or press
the Render button above the Timeline.
Do your video/audio now play back in the Edit area monitor in sync?
Please let us know the result, and then we will decide what next.
Thanks.

Syncing video and audio

I have been syncing video and audio into a sequence and using those sequences in a new master sequence. Is that the right way to do it? Is there a way to have the video and audio in a useable clip? I could not find this information in the manual, but if I missed it can someone refer me to the chapter that covers this topic.
Thank you

you can set in and out points for both the video and audio clips in either the viewer or in the browser, then select the two, right click - merge clips (or Modify/Merge Clips if you prefer the menu.)

N95 Recorded Video: Video and audio is out of sync

Audio and video is out of sync when I play videos recorded with N95 on my PC. If have used different PC applications to play the video, but all exhibit the same problem.
In the beginning of at video it seems that the audio is about 400milliseconds ahead of the video - you hear the sound first. The different in audio and video is not constant. In a long video (30-50minutes) it is quite unpretictable how video and audio is out of sync in the end.
To experience the problem yourself record a long video sequence with a N95.
1 .Record something where it is easy to see if video and audio is in sync.
2. Transfer the recording to a PC.
3. Play the recording using VLC (www.videolan.org)
Another way to experience the problem is to convert the recording to AVI format at play it in MediaPlayer or WindowsMovieMaker. To convert a N95 video recording to AVI format use Mp4Cam2Avi.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp4cam2avi/
The video recording settings I use on my N95 are:
Best Quality
No Video Stablisation
Firmware version 21.0.0.16.
I think the video quality of N95 recordings is quite good, so I would really like to be able to view and edit the recorded vidoes on my PC.

You can edit videos on your PC, just converting them to AVI then using any Video Editor on the PC.
Yes while editing separate the audio channel from the clip and reinsert at the begining of the clip. This will minimise sync issues.To get accurate sync increase the timeline so that you are able to the see audio squiggles as a waveform.
