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 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.

When I trim a Video in QTpro, the video and audio become out of sync

I use mpstreamclip to export video to mov or mp4 files. When I load up on QT pro and then do some trimming, the resultant clips often have audio and video that are slightly out of sync.
Can anyone provide some guidance on what to do?
Thanks so much.

I think it is going to be a problem with the fps setting on export. If you entered 30 fps as the setting for export and you found the result had the audio getting further and further ahead of the video the longer you watched it may be that you needed to enter a frame rate of 29.97 fps to keep things in sync. I am doing similar tests on some conversions because I have had sync problems as well. I will repost when I check my current export at 29.97 fps.

Help! I Am Stuck in the Store and Cannot Get Out!!!

Windows 7. Installed latest version of iTunes (11.1.4.62). Authorized my (new) computer. I can log in and get to the iTunes store. That's about all I can do. How do I get to my music library so I can play some songs? I seem to be stuck in the Store and don't know how to get out.

Video and Audio getting out of sync?!

So I have Final Cut Express on my Macbook with 2.4 GHz, 2.6 GB RAM and I am running Mac OSX 10.5.8. I have a 30 minute mpg, which does not import into FCE, so I converted it to an MP4 via a converter. When I play the video in a standalone player (the mp4) everything is fine but as soon as I put it into FCE and render it, the audio starts to get ahead of the video as the video goes on. its fine in the beginning then by the time its 15 minutes in its a good 1/2- 1 second ahead, and gets even worse by the end. CAN ANYONE HELP?!

Hi and welcome to the forum!
First of all, don't convert the file to a MP4. What exactly are the specifications of the MPEG file you are using? It would help to know the frame size, frame rate, and the audio rate.
You most likely placed a 32kHz clip in a 48kHz sequence or vice versa.

Sound and video get out of sync

Hi,
I am trying to craete a small little instructional video
My video is a .avi that has 44100 audio and 29 fps
First - Which presets should I be using?
Second - Im trying every preset I can and watching some videos but everytime I try and edit my video and then play or move the timeline the sound gets off. Can you guys help? Thanks so much if you can
Im on CS4 and have done all the Updates

Im still not sure which Preset to use? I read your article and may have just missed how to check the preset?
The selection of the Preset will depend on exactly what G-Spot tells you about your source footage. Things like Frame Size, Frame Rate, etc.
As for MJPEG, I agree with Harm's suggestion to install either the Morgan, or the MainConcept MJPEG CODEC's. For most users, either works perfectly. The choice is yours.
I wonder which MJPEG CODEC you have installed? G-Spot has Tables, where you can see installed Video CODEC's. Be aware that it will show false positives for the Adobe MainConcept installed CODEC's being broken. This is due to Adobe's naming convention for its installed CODEC's, to keep others from overwriting, or breaking them, but it fools G-Spot and Sherlock the CODEC Detective.
Good luck,

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.

Why do my audio and video get out of synch?

No matter what sort of video I'm trying to play: Youtube, a movie on DVD, a movie on an external hard drive, etc, after a short time the audio and video get out of synch with each other. This is often, though not always, signaled by a short audio phrase being repeated (eg: "I don't know, Scully, how about you? about you?"). I can solve the problem by quitting the app and starting it back up but it will eventually screw up again.
I'm using a MacBook running OS 10.6.8 with a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory.

The first thing that we need to know are the properties of what you are putting on the Timeline. What works in another software does not necessarily work in Premiere Elements. Each program has its own supported formats.
a. What is the file extension for this file? .MOV or .MP4?
b. Does the iPad describe it as 1080p or 720p?
c. If you open Premiere Elements 12 and go to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General, what do you see for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio, even if those field appear to be grayed out.
Two immediate troubleshooting avenues are going to be in the direction of...
a. Project settings not set up to match the properties of the source from the iPad. Then we would start a new project and set the project setting manually before importing your video. Details for manually setting the project preset are in the following.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
b. The iPad video being recorded with a variable frame rate instead of a constant one...the remedy then would probably be to take your video in a program like HandBrake to change the variable to a constant frame rate. And after that, import the corrected video into the Premiere Elements project which has the correct project preset (preferably set manual to assure the correct result).
Please see what you can put together in the way of video details, and we will sort this out.
Thanks.

Audio and video is out of sync!

when I record audio and video together with my isight built in camera on my macbook pro with either quicktime pro, photobooth or imovie, when I play the clip back the audio and video is out of sync! like watching a kung foo movie. I've tried everything, I've taken my book into see a "Genius" at thew mac store and he said to me that the isight is made really for video conferencing and is really not supposed to be fully in sync? Uhh thats weird, so mac makes a product and puts it on all their laptops and it only sort of works?? I've been on the phone with apple care, did a bunch of things like disk utility repairs on permisions, then used the startup disk to do another permisions repair. I've uninstalled quicktime pro and re-installed it a couple of times? If anyone could give me some advice that would be great! I'm a little frustrated as you can probably see! thanks
cheers

Welcome to Apple Discussions, m
See if any of the suggestions offered here reduce your sync quality problem enough:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7089133&#7089133
If, after making certain that your Mac is running well, has plenty of free space on the correct drive, etc., your sync is still not close enough, you can manually re-sync any parts that are unacceptable to you using either QT Pro or iMovie.
If you check carefully, you will see that not even pro video is always perfectly synced. It is a lot of work to get things "nearly perfect," but, with a bit of practice, it doesn't take long to get things "close enough" for me.
I use the same simple process with either QT Pro or iMovie, so you can use whichever you find easiest. Whichever you use, keep the original AV clip safe and *_work on a copy_* in case something goes wrong.
If you do not already know how, here is my process, but you can adjust for your workflow:
(1) Copy of the audio track.
(2) Add the audio track copy to the AV file.
(3) Silence the original audio and work on audio copy.
(4) Insert small blank audio clips (or split and slide if using iMovie) if needed to make the audio later.
(5) Cut small bits out of quiet parts (or split and shorten in iMovie) if needed to make audio sooner.
(6) Repeat until satisfied and delete any tracks no longer needed.
(7) Save the adjusted AV file.
(8) Enjoy!

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 and audio fall out of sync in Captivate 6

I made a great little video demo in which I added audio while I recorded it in Captivate 6. However when I play it back the audio and video fall out of sync. How can I fix my problem and how can I prevent it from happening again?
JJ

Douglas, I found that even the SWF files have started to get out of synch as well (although not as badly as the MP4), so with Adobe's blessing, I installed Captivate 7 on my 2009 model MacBook Pro (with Windows 7 running in Bootcamp) and now when I publish both SWF and MP4 projects, they are in perfect synch.
The strange thing is that my MacBook Pro probably has less grunt than my work PC (Dell Lattitude) and I would also have thought that running in a Bootcamp based Windows 7, that would detract even further from Captivate's performance.
I am happy that this solves the synch issue, I am not happy that I must continually move projects between my office PC and my home based MacBook Pro in order to do this and I am still none the wiser as to what is actually causing the problem; although I do wonder whether it is in some way related to the reporting to base issue that was causing Captivate 7 to go into a not responding state every few minutes (that was resolved with a patch provided by Adobe support)..
