Video is going out of sync

So I don't recall any upgrade before this issue began. Upon opening an old fcp project file a few of the tapes appear to have gone slightly out of sync. This is not a gradual sync issue that frequently results from audio rate mismatching. It's like the whole tape is five to ten seconds off from the source audio captured at the same time. The strange thing is that when I render out the video it appears in sync. Also when I use the slip tool the reference frames in the viewer window shows the correct frames as far as I can tell.
What's even more strange is that footage I just captured for a new project seems to be doing the same thing and it only happens on some tapes. Other tapes work fine. Another way around this issue that I've found is to nest the sequence. When nested the correct video plays. It's really weird.
It's been a nightmare to edit. I constantly have to flip back and forth between sequences and the exact edit is always a guess and check process requiring rendering frequently just to see if the cut is correct.
I am and have always been editing 24p advanced footage. None of my settings have changed. This issue popped up out of nowhere.

If you are running FCP 4.5 and OSX 10.4.9, >>THIS THREAD<<</a> may be of interest.

Video - dialog goes out of sync with video

When I play Movies or T.V. shows on my iTouch the dialog (or audio) gets out of sync with the video. It starts happening after about 5 minutes of play. I close out of the video, re-open it and it's back in sync again for about another 5 minutes.
I had a second generation iTouch and have just purchased a 3rd gen iTouch and it does it on both. It happens on every movie or t.v. show I watch.
Any suggestions?

I really appreciate your help. I tried it with the link you provided and it appears it's the wrong format type. The one I'm trying to convert is a .wmv file. I think that link was mainly for mpegs.
I did successfully convert a 3rd movie .wmv file using videora, so I have to think the problem lies with this one movie clip. What could it be? It plays fine on my computer! The video itself is fine after the conversion too, it's just moving too fast as if in fast forward mode. Then when the video ends (before the music, cuz it's not in sync), the video keeps backing up and continuing from later and later previous spots until the song ends.
If you're out of ideas, I guess I'll try to see if I can find the video somewhere else and download it again (I got this video free from a website). It's super cool.. An F-18 pilot video tapes himself performing aerial maneuvers to the song "magic carpet ride". Darn, I REALLY want that on my ipod!!

My MPEG video/audio goes out of sync

Hi
I am importing some MPEG- 2 video clips into Premiere Pro. They are totally in sync before I import them but once in Prmeiere the video and audio are no longer in sync. The format is MPEG-2 video, 1920 x 1080,25fps, 48000hz.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks
Miranda

Hi there
Thanks very much, I donwloaded the MediaInfo software.
So the clips came from a Sony NXCam using a Black Magic stem and VMix to record with.
The files are MPEG2 1920 x 1080 as you can see in the screenshot.
The file info in Premiere says they are pixel aspect ratio 1.0
As for codec information, where can I find this?
Regards
Miranda

How do I stop my video & audio going out of sync after adding a still.

Audio/Video Settings - Sequence Preset HDV - 1080i50, Capture HDV, Device preset SonyHDV 1080i50 Firewire, Vid playback Digital Cinema Desktop Preview-Main, Audio Default.
Easy Setup - Format HD, Rate 25.00fps, Use HDV.
Sequence Settings - Gen. Tab Frame Size 1440 x 1080, Aspect Ratio HD (1440x1080) (16:9), Pixel Aspect Ratio HD (1440x1080), Anamorphic unchecked, Field Dom. Upper(odd), Editing Timebase 25, Quicktime settings HDV 1080i50, Quality 100%, Audio Settings Rate 48kHz, DEpth 16 bit, Config Channel Grouped.
I have not tried reloading FCS.

Hold your horses everyone, I've done it ,Yippee!!
It's all down to Percy, that is perseverance, I do not like to give up.
Under Sequence in the Menu bar I clicked on Sequence Settings. There under Render there is a Render Control tab. I changed the codec from 'Same as Sequence Codec' to 'Apple ProRes 422 [HDV, XDCAM HD/EX/HD422 only]' and everything is back to normal, even the pixelating text (see an earlier post of mine). The rendering is quick as well. The world is my oyster.

Video and audio goes out of sync when imported into Premiere

I have some videos ripped from some DVD that an acquaintance made, with an open source program called HandBrake, with the default "high profile" settings. When I play it both in VLC and in Quicktime, it plays just fine, but when I import it either in Premiere or in After effects, the video and audio goes out of sync (the video ran faster than the audio and when the video stops, the missing audio is trimmed).
Video info according to Premiere (in Spanish but you may get the meaning).

"HandBrake, these days, is almost entirely about H.264 video, aka MPEG-4 Part 10. HandBrake is migrating to quality-based encoding."
Hmmm. I use HC Encoder to make my DVDs because it's the only free encoder I've found with the much more professional Constant Q encoding option. But HC Encoder doesn't do HD sources for Blu-ray, so I've been wondering if I'd be stuck with the lame-*** consumer CBR and VBR options most encoders provide (including Adobe - hint, hint) when I eventually start working in HD. This is a very interesting program, Handbrake. I will have to check it out.

Linked video audio clip goes out of sync when put in timeline - why?

Learning to use Final Cut Express. Clip plays in browser with audio in time with video but as soon as clip is dragged onto timeline the audio goes out of sync. Why? Please can anyone help because its driving me mad!

You don't give any details as to FCE's settings, camera format or your workflow so I can only hazard a guess.
One of the main reasons that audio goes out of sync is because the Easy Setup audio settings do not match the camera's audio settings.
The default setting is for 16bit (48KHz) but your camera may be shooting 12bit (32KHz audio).
If this is the case you need to recapture using the 32KHz Easy Setup.

Audio locked at playhead, but goes out of sync if video is cropped

Hi,
Using iMovie HD 6, I have the audio locked at playhead, but if I crop part of the video (beginning or ending), the audio goes out of sync.
Here's what I've done:
1) Extracted audio from video
2) Silenced this audio
3) Imported audio from audio recorder (Edirol R-09HR)
4) Synced the imported audio
*5) Attempted to crop part of the video footage in the timeline... goes out of sync
How do I keep the audio in sync when cropping video?
Thanks!

Hi JohnDoe2009 - firstly, extracting the audio is not necessary in your case. Simply mute the video's audio, by reducing its level to zero - that is what actually happens when you extract the audio, after all.
It is my experience also, that locking audio clips to particular video clips is not fail-safe if further cropping is done afterwards, especially if that cropping is fairly substantial. Where possible, do the syncing after all crop-editing has been completed.
As a last check I always review the syncing before finalising the movie.

The screen goes out of sync, how can I fix this?

when I start the server, the screen goes out of sync, how can I fix this?. The server has no video card.

What do you mean by 'out of sync'?
Try running the 'kickstart' using Send UNIX Command or while logged in to that server (ssh etc):
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -restart -agent -menu -console
You might also want to trash /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist from the server..

When audio goes out of sync..

In FCP7, when audio goes out of sync with the video track it came from (even when they are unlinked), a red warning box is displayed on the audio track and tells you how far out of sync it is, which easily enables you to resync.
Well, in FCX my audio went out of synce, but i didn't know it until i played back a segment i was working on, where i spliced two audio tracks and video tracks together. Right now i'm trying to fix the one audio track so that is synced up with its parent video track, but so far i'm just guessing that it's a good sync rather than knowing FOR SURE whether or not it's truly synced back up.
Is there any kind of work around, which enables you to resync in a manner similar to before FCPX?
Thanks

I am not sure if your problem has been solved already but here is the way to do that:
select in the clip in the timeline the part were the audio should be return in sync. use the blade-tool to make that part a seperate clip.
Higlight this clip in the timeline and use shift-F to highlight this clip in the browser. There it wil show up partially of course.
Use only the audio and put that part under the selected clip in the timeline where you need the original audio. remove the original out-of-sync audio.

HELP! Audio goes out of sync after export!

OK, folks. I need your help. I have a looming deadline of THIS FRIDAY to hand this in.
I have a finished multicam edit of a show that runs 1 hr 20 min. It plays back perfectly in the timeline, all video and audio perfectly in sync. Looks and sounds exactly like what I need.
When I export the video as an H.264 file, the audio gets out of sync with the video by 13 frames! But that's not all... It doesn't happen to the entire audio track. There's about 50 minutes in the middle of the video where the audio goes out of sync. The audio at the beginning and ending of the video is lined up perfectly in sync. It's just the middle section that gets screwy.
What do I do?!
This has never happened before, and I've worked a lot with multicam in Premiere Pro CC before this. Never been an issue. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere, and also deleting all media cache files, but still no dice. I also tried copying the clips into a new sequence in the same project, copying the clips into a new sequence in a NEW project, nesting the sequence... nothing works.
My setup:
MacBook Pro Retina (Rev. A)
Premiere Pro CC (latest version)
Panasonic GH3 footage in 1080p 24p AVCHD timeline
3 cameras & 1 audio WAV file in Multicam
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK, I figured out how to fix it:
In Premiere Pro CC, click on SEQUENCE > DELETE RENDER FILES.
Try exporting the movie again.
It worked! I exported the same sequence, and it took a long while to re-render the audio files, but when it was finished exporting the audio and video were in perfect sync. I'm not sure what caused it, but this fixed it, so hopefully anyone else having this issue can save a lot of time by reading this.
Cheers!

Sound goes out of sync in playback, why???

I have just bought the new MacBook Pro 13" with the i7 dual core 2.8
and bought Final Cut X from the app store - Im playing around with some footage shot on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7
Ive put in a few edits with transitions, some titles and added sound effects.
In playback, the sound slowly goes out of sync! After only about 10 seconds...
The vision lags while the sound keeps going, there is some flickering, then its worse.
If I pause playback, then resume it resets...
Any ideas?
cheers, David

I have also experienced this. Not on every video. But on some videos.
The sync slowly drifts. Then hit pause and then play, and sure enough, the picture and sound are back in sync again.
This tells me that if you export ("share") the movie, the sound will be fine (it was for me). But it is unnerving to preview your work and see and hear the picture and sound drift out of sync like that.
I don't know the answer of why it happens (or how to remedy it), but my hunch is it has something to do with either not enough memory (or processing power), or a slightly underpowered video card. Just a guess.
I guess in any of those cases, the remedy would be to upgrade to a more powerful computer. :-(

AME - Converting to MP4 and different FPS - audio goes out of sync

As described in the title.
I'm reencoding a 1920x1080 29,97 fps video into a 1280x720 60 fps video. Audio is AAC 44100 stereo.
Basicly a task that many of those free converters on Windows do smoothly. I use Mac...
I'm surprised that it goes out of sync, like 3-4 secs EARLY sound on a span of 2 mins video.
Settings here:
AME CS6 Fully updated
source: 1920x1080 29,97fps MP4 with AAC 44100hz audio
Target:
Codec: H264
Saves as : MP4
1280 x 720
60 fps Progressive - NTSC
CBR VBR1 VBR2 doesn't matter
Max rendering quality
Codec Audio AAC 44100hz (as source)
Any ideas ?

Because we stream at 60 fps and we have to convert all the materials we receive from our partners from the usual 29,97 to 60.
Thanks for your MVPaluable help.

Sound slowly goes out of sync

Have a movie that I have run through compressor 3 as both an .avi and as an .MP4. Then burn in DVDSP 4.2. The video and sound are in sync for the first half of the movie and then slowly goes out of sync. It gets worse as the movie goes on. Anyway to correct this?
Thank you.

The normal process would be to export a self-contained or reference movie from FCP, then use the resulting file in Compressor and choose the appropriate DVD preset based on the duration of your movie. Compressor will create the needed MPEG-2 (.m2v) video file and AC3 audio file for use in DVD Studio Pro.
MP4 is NOT a format used for DVDs and AVI is a Windows video container - neither are recommended for DVD Studio Pro.

PLEASE HELP - Panasonic DV captured, audio goes out of sync

I'm capturing an hour of DV from a Panasonic PV-GS500, using Capture Now. Initially the audio and video appear to be in sync, but when I view the latter portion of the hour, the audio and video are markedly out of sync. This has occurred with several different tapes. I don't recall if this happened with FCE 3.5; I'm using 4.0.1.
The recording was made with 16 bit audio. I chose Easy Setup with format DV/Panasonic DVCPRO, using DV-NTSC, and rate 29.97fps. My sequence is 48kHz.
Any help would be appreciated!

I re-captured the same tape I had trouble with the first time, but this time I started at the beginning without any lead time and it worked without audio/video sync problems. So I think the source of the problem was that I was changing Easy Setup settings after making a new project/sequence, instead of creating a new project/sequence after selecting the Easy Setup settings I want.
I have 2 related additional questions. I hope someone will take a stab at answering these.
Question ONE
I checked my Easy Setup settings again, and the format is shown as "custom." I'm sure I didn't select this intentionally; I selected DV-NTSC. Not sure if this "custom" setting is why things are working now. Any idea why this setting might have changed to "custom" automatically by FCE?
The "custom" settings are as follows:
Sequence Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
Capture Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
Device Control Preset: FireWire NTSC
Playback Output Video: None
Playback Output Audio: FireWire DV
PTV Output Video: Same as Playback
PTV Output Audio: Same as Playback
If I change the format back to DV-NTSC, Playback Output Video changes to "Apple FireWire NTSC (720 x 480)." I'm not sure if this is relevant.
Question TWO
Say I've imported all this DV, without audio/video sync problems, with certain Easy Setup Settings. What if I then switch to a different camera for which the capture format is different (say DV-NTSC 32kHz FireWire Basic). Will that create any problems? I ask because presumably my old Easy Setup settings (for my first camera) are still being used by the Project or Sequence. The second camera requires new Easy Setup settings, but these settings are not congruent with the Project or Sequence I'm working with.
Maybe another way to ask this question is this: Can I mix and match DV from different cameras without any problems, even though the Easy Setup settings are changed within the same project and sequence?
Thanks again.
