Wav file gets out of sync with sequence

Hello,
I have a 30min sequence that I sent the dialogue to an audio engineer for clean up as an OMF. He sent it back and it gets out of sync about the first 2 minutes or so. By the 30th minute the audio is out of sync about 47 frames.
I've tried multiple things, couple of observations: the WAV file's waveforms in the timeline show that all audio is in sync, yet when I playback in the timeline audio its out of sync. I even opened up the wav file on Quicktime player and timecodes from quicktime player and my video timeline do match, its only when i place the wav file in the timeline that it appears out of sync.
I've sent the whole sequence to Soundtrack Pro as a multitrack project. When I playback there it is in sync with the video!!! I export back and still same issue...
Editing on a Macbook Pro OS X 10.8.4 2.6GHZ Intel Core i7 on FCP 6.0.6.
The sequence settings: Apple ProRes HQ 25fps. Audio settings: 48 KHz, 16-bit, channel grouped.
Wave file (sent by audio engineer): 16bit 48.000KHz. Data Rate: 1528.21 kbits/s
Any help would be amazing!
Thanks,

One possibility
You need to have your easy setup have a frame rate that exactly matches your sequence settings BEFORE you import the audio file.  Doesn't seem to always cause a problem, but it can happen.

  • IDE suddenly gets out of sync with dbx

    I recently have seen a few cases where, during debugging sesions, the IDE gets out of sync with dbx: while sitting at a breakpoint, the debugger toolbar buttons suddenly are greyed out with the exception of the "Pause" button, as if the inferior process were running. A message "Process state modified" is displayed briefly in the status line at the bottom. I suspect this may be due to a problem with balloon evaluation, because somehow it seems to be triggered by cursor motion.
    It is possible to "rectify" the situation by issueing a "next" in the dbx console, after this, the debugger toolbar buttons revert to their normal state.
    I will try to narrow this down further. Is there anything I can do which could help to find the problem?
    This happened with Sunstudio Express 07/08 as well as with 11/08.

    I finally managed to reproduce this reliably. This was confusing at first because it does not only involve certain C++ code, but also the dbxenv variable output_dynamic_type.
    This is indeed a balloon evaluation issue: If the mouse pointer hovers over an expression which involves an overloaded "operator->()", I usually get a balloon saying "<contains function calls>, which is okay. If I set "dbxenv output_dynamic_type on", I get the same output, but the toolbar switches somehow to "running" when the balloon pops up.
    I can reproduce this with just a dozen lines of self-contained C++ code.
    I will report a bug at bugs.sun.com.
    BTW: could anybody please set the timeout value for posts and replies in this forum to a reasonable value? This reply took me only a few minutes, but when i actually posted the message I got a timeout response...

  • My audio gets out of sync with my video after capturing from Sony XDCAM

    Everything was fine. I captured content from my Sony XDCAM, created pieces, no problem. Imported a .mov from my older FCP (5.1.4). FCP told me I needed to change my settings in order to use the .mov with my current timeline. I said OK, fine. Now, when I capture from my XDCAM some of the audio is in sync but it goes out fairly quickly. Any Ideas? I noticed in the bin the clips which are out of sync have a different data rate then the good ones. HELP!

  • Conditional build tags get out of sync with source control

    Hi all,
    I work on a team with two other people and we use RH 7 and
    Microsoft Visual Source Safe. We've been having a problem with our
    conditional build tags where one person will add, rename, or delete
    a tag, and although the author checks the tags back in right away,
    the system isn't "getting" the updated tag file when the other
    authors go into the help project. The only way we've been able to
    fix this is to have everyone delete their CPD files every time tags
    are added, renamed, or deleted, but this seems wacky, and I don't
    see any other messages about this problem in the forum. Are we
    doing something wrong? We've been having problems (errors) related
    to XPJ files being checked out by the first person to enter the
    project (posted in another message). Might this be the cause of our
    tag problem, too?
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Lisa

    Hi, I understand about the mismatch…the problem is there shouldn’t be any mismatches, because the source documents didn’t change at all, and no updates were made to the html help topics in RoboHelp. The mismatches appear for no reason that I am aware of. They are very random and I can “fix” the mismatches by performing an “update” for a few linked topics, but then a few more mismatches randomly appear.
    I don’t use a Master Page…can you think of anything else I should look into?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Issues with finder going out of sync with file images in cover flow.

    Hi All,
    I'm having issues with files going out of sync with images in cover flow since updating to Mavericks. Typically, if I had for example 10 pictures listed as 1 to 10, if i deleted images 6&7 the images remain in coverflow but the file listings are removed, then if i click on image 7 the file listing of image 8 is highlighted, then to make matters worse, if i click on the file listing for image 9 in shows image 8 in cover flow. To stop this I have to shut down finder and restart it, then the whole thing repeats itself if i delete more images. Its a nightmare when your working with 50 plus images at a time!!! Help!!
    Thanks all.

    com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and com.apple.finder.plist
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/. Move the .plists to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by loggin out/in and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer ones.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.
    If you look at the 'More Like This' box (top right) it seems the Cover Flow view is having problems.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Text file generator gets out of sync!

    Has anyone any experience of this behaviour in the text file generator in Motion......
    Basically the first entry in the list is only displayed for half the time of the other entries!
    This means that any repeat keyframes that I apply (even if I apply from the second entry in) get out of sync with the text display.
    There must be a workaround for this or maybe I am missing something and this is desired behaviour.
    Can anyone help?

    When you mentioned keyframes, I thought we were on the same page as to where to go next. In the off chance I was mistaken, I'll go over the steps from the beginning.
    When you use the File generator, Motion automatically evenly divides the time of the length of the generator by the number of lines of text and plays them accordingly. When you look in the Text Generator Inspector, the Speed is set for Constant... Motion figures out how many lines of text and inserts *fixed* keyframes.  What you really want to do is set the Speed to Custom:
    Immediately afterwards, you want to Reset the Custom Speed keyframes (Motion defaults from 0% - 100% over the length of the generator.)  Clearing the default keyframes will keep you from having problems later.
    Once you have the  keyrames for the Custom Speed parameter cleared, you can move the playhead to the start of where you want the first line of text to appear and set an In Point for the generator.  You will also want to mark the first keyframe so click on the yellow diamond to set it at 0%.
    Next, play the project and at the point you want the *next* line to appear, move the Custom Speed slider enough until the next line *just appears* (the keyframe will automatically be set.)  If you need more precision, you can widen the inspector column by clicking on the dividing line and dragging it right.
    Continue doing the same until your finished setting the Custom Speed keyframes.
    Then, right click on Custom Speed and Show In Keyframe Editor
    Below shows the keyframes are linear.  They need to be Constant. So, click on any keyframe in the Editor and Command-A to select all. Then right-click on any keyframe, and from the popup menu, select Interpolation > Constant.
    This is what you're going for -- Custom Speed values that are flat until they change -- Each line will appear at precisely the point of the keyframe.

  • 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!!

  • Slideshow audio gets out of sync when exported to iDvd

    I made a large slideshow for a 40th anniversary party. It has 244 images & 7 songs. It is 29 min 54 seconds long. When I view the slideshow in iPhoto it works fine & the last image ends right at the end of the last song.
    When I exported it to iDvd, the audio gets out of sync with the video. By the end of the first song, the video is about 2 seconds ahead. By the end of the last image, the last song is cut of by about 30 to 45 seconds. I tried exporting the slideshow directly to iDvd. I also exported it as a large movie & it did the same thing.
    I'm using a 17" 1.67ghz powerbook with 1.5 gigs of ram.
    I'm using OS 10.4.2.
    I'm using iPhoto 5.0.4
    I'm using iDvd 5.0.1
    The images are scanned tiffs. I also have jpegs that I shot with my canon eos digital rebel xt.
    Anybody have any ideas or work-arounds?

    I suggest you either use iDVD to create two slideshows or use iMovie to get all 277 images and the 8 audio tracks into one slideshow. If you use iMovie after you get the slideshow/movie put together and completed quit iMovie. Then go into the iMovie project package (Control-click and select Show Package Contents). The find your movie in the Shared Movies folder and drag it into an open iDVD menu. This allows iDVD to to the rendering of the stills and give you a sharper image. That movie file you're dragging is a reference movie so leave it where it is and just drag it into iDVD's window.
    If you can live with two separate slideshow (consider it a potty break between the two) and you don't have or need the Ken Burns effect, you can get excellent results by building the slideshows with iDVD from imported stills. The sync to audio in this method works as advertised. I like to add a blank slide at the end of the slideshow so the music fades out during a blank, black slide.

  • Bug ? AAC / H264 video gets out of sync

    ello,
    we're using Wowza for live TV broadcasting. For now the service isn't publicly released (it will be a subscriber-only TV) but it will be in the next day.
    Here is our setup:
    - PlaylistBroadcaster, part of the Darwin Streaming Server distribution, reads a playlist of files and forwards them through RTP/RTCP to WMS. The files are:
    Hinted MP4 container (with "Server optimization")
    768 kbps, 25 fps, 720x576 H264 video
    128 kbps stereo AAC-HE audio
    (encoded from Final Cut Pro)
    - A custom module written in Ruby generates .replacelist files to dynamically generate the playlist.
    - WMS configured in live-rtp mode streams the thing to flash clients.
    All this is being run on the same server (Gentoo Linux), which has quite low load when streaming (something like 0.06 on a bi-processor system).
    All this is perfectly in sync when the files are read locally. It is also in sync if I watch with the "live" player shipped with Wowza or with my own, home-made player and do not leave the flash window or tab.
    However, if I drop focus for the video window, like if I switch a Firefox tab, Safari tab, or press alt-tab and do something else, and then come back a bit later the video is out of sync (late) with the audio.
    This happens only on this live streaming player, not on YouTube.
    This night I have been running a test: I left the video running all night keeping focus on the window. After a 8 hour run, the video was still totally in sync so that's not a problem on the DSS side.
    I then tried to drop focus and come back a minute or two later, on the video, and there's a slight offset, between 400ms and 2s. The audio is in advance, this is an invariant parameter: the video is never in advance.
    So I'm wondering if that's a problem with Flash Player: obviously this is not a problem with Wowza or Darwin Streaming Server since it stays in sync. Could it be due to Flash hardware acceleration or something ? Any hints about H264 video getting out of sync with audio when Flash has not the focus, freezes for a second, and other such events ?
    We are working on Adobe Flash CS4, the video is encoded with Final Cut Pro.

    Is it 50p or 50i?
    What make.model canera shot the footage?
    Was the audio recorded to the camera or by a separate recorder?

  • Audio several seconds out of sync with live video stream.

    I did a live stream last week using 282,482,832,1500Kbps streams. What would cause the audio to get out of sync with the live video stream? I'm trying to determine if it was  bandwidth related, cpu/memory issue on the FMIS 4.5 server, or an issue with encoding PC exceeding it's limits?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Which device are you using? Are audio and video coming from the same device or different devices?
    Is it a USB device? Try changing the device and see if there is any difference. Changing bitrates will not affect audio-video sync.

  • When Watching TV, the Voice and Picture Gets Out of Sync?

    When watching TV, a lot of time, the voice gets out of sync with the picture.  I have to turn of the the set, wait a bit, turn it back on the the voice and picture is back in sync.  This happens a lot!  Is there something that can be done to fix this problem?  If so, what?  I have the current equipment from Comcast. Thanks for any help. Charlie

    It helps. But I should have asked another questiion:  Does the syn issue occur on some channels or all the channels? If it is some channels, I would suspect the issue is with Comcast's feed. If it is all channels, I would recommend having Comcast send a tech out to check your system.

    I too have the same problem.  The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video.  Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   its a joke,  my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well.  at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues.  Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!,  there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem. 

  • Recordings out of sync with back

    I have Sound Blaster Li've! 7. and record on Cool Edit Pro 2.. I import mp3 backings to my recording software and then record vocal tracks. On playback, I noticed that the two tracks quickly get out of sync. After much trial and error, I've found only two solutions to correct the problem...neither of which is satisfying to me.
    Solution #: Run a sync correction through my recording software for every vocal track I lay down...very time consuming.
    Solution #2: Convert my mp3 backings to a wav file. After importing the converted file to Cool Edit Pro, convert sample rate from 44. to 48 and the bit resolution from 6 to 32. This takes several minutes and I can't seem to save it and reuse it at a later time since Cool Edit Pro recognizes it as a different sample rate and won't allow me to load it into the multitrack recording view for use.
    Upgrading to Audigy doesn't seem to be an option since I've seen other threads showing the same problem exists with that series, as well.
    Would 5. be a better option? Never had this problem with the original soundcard that came with my computer. I don't want to run correction OR convert and resample my backings to record. Should I look for a different sound card?
    Thanks

    I looked into the specs on Audigy and need to know if Audigy 4 (not Audigy 4 Pro) will work with recording in Cool Edit Pro? CEP uses 44. sample rate.
    Your card, Li've! 24-bit, does have known issue w/ keeping in sync. Audigy cards like A4 (non pro), A2Value and A2Zs don't have this issue (least I have never heard of it).
    But the quality on those mentioned SB cards not as good as w/ X-Fi as for an example.
    If you're after low budged card for recording under Creative brand --> E-MU 0404 is the only choice under 00US$. w/ 0404 you could get LE versions of Sonar 4 and Cubase, Li've Lite and lots of other software you would like to use in your recordings. 0404 can also be installed as 2nd card w/ the one you have there already --> Li've! for gaming and multichannel audio, 0404 for recording. Installing could become painful, but I've read they should work together.
    E-MU 0404 beats all SB cards when compared by quality. 0404 does have only 2 analog mono line inputs (+ 2 digital) so for microphone you would need an extarnal mic-amp or mixer w/ mic-amp. 0404 has also only two mono analog outputs (+ 2 digital).

  • Audio out of sync with presentation (not using full motion)

    When I preview or publish a project using Captivate 5, the audio is out of sync with the presentation. I am not using any full motion recording, which I know has caused audio/video sync issues in previous versions of Captivate. The audio is slide specific, with a separate audio file for each slide. (In other words, I'm not trying to break a large audio file over many slides.) When each slide is viewed individually -- in the workstation, in the preview window, or in the published version -- the audio is synced just fine. The problem arises only when I try to watch the entire presentation (approx. 10 minutes in length). The audio gradually lags behind the visual.  By about half way through the project, the visual presentation is noticably ahead of the audio. By the end, the audio is nearly 4 seconds behind the video. I cannot detect a noticeable change in pitch or speed of the audio, so if the audio is being altered in any way, the alteration is slight.
    However, if I use the playback controls to advance to a single slide, the audio is fine for that slide and those immediately after, although it does gradually get off again as the project progresses. (So, for example, if I start the playback in the middle of the project, the audio will only be off by about 2 seconds by the end, rather than 4.)
    I have tried various publishing options (although I don't think publishing is the problem, since this happens when I preview the project as well). I have used 2 different computers and also tried viewing the published version locally and streaming. None of these alterations seem to make a difference. By the end of the presentation, regardless of how the project is published or viewed, the audio is several seconds behind the video.
    My specs:
    Captivate 5
    Microsoft XP OS
    2 GB RAM
    Publishing to .swf
    Suggestions?

    Hi Mukul,
    Thank you very much for your careful responses. Here are the answers to the questions.
    First of all, the "slow video" behavior does appear only after adding the slides mentioned in previous post.
    1.    I created a “software simulation” project. It IS a capture+audio recording.
    2.    Since I recorded the audio while doing screen capture, almost every slide has audio, which is not convenient to edit at all. Is there any other better way that I missed so that we can keep the audio and video at the same step while editing them? As I know so far, either insert silence or delete a little audio to one slide, the audio becomes short, but the slide duration time is still the same as before unless we change that manually which normally is not precise enough to match the audio.
    3.    I tried to add the blank slides at where there is a pause of speaking and where they are close to the problem slides. Otherwise, the speaking would sound weird.
    4.    Published SWF file size is 20.6 MB.
    5.    I do have two externalized video files for title and end.
    6.    Unfortunately, it is still slow even if it played on a different system.
    And another problem comes up these days. After publication, the screen resolution is not good (like some grey ink left on screen) wherever click or type something. It did not happen before even if worked on the same computer.
    I am very sorry that there are so many problems. I have been working on this for long time. The project totally drove me nuts. Hopefully you have more ideas about that.
    I really appreciate your help.
    Sincerely,
    Linda
