Why is my time audio out of sync when I log and capture?

When I log and Capture from my server, it copies everything.  But when I play it, that audio doesn't match the video, but when I pause it, it stops on the place it is supposed to be?  Anyone have this happen to them before?  Please let me know.  Thank You!

I don't understand.  You log and capture FROM tape.  You could log and capture TO your scratch disk which could possibly be over a network.  If this is the case, try capturing locally and see if that works.  If so. the problem is with your network, not fcp.

  • Audio out of sync with elemental plugin, and slower than my i7!!!

    Maaannn!!
    I just got a PNY nvidia quadro 1800 with elemental accellerator plugin. I just transcoded 2 hours of HDV straight from premiere 4 with Adobe Media Encoder using the Elemental codec and the audio is out of sync. It plays out of sync on the Blu Ray disk, and in Encore4. The audio is perfectly synced in Premiere. I just did another project a week ago without the Elemental, using the default Main Concept encoder and the audio is perfect. I am pretty sure I have the latest version of the Elemental Accellerator because there is a button to check for updates and it says there are no updates available. Does anybody know what is wrong here?.
    The transitions are getting messed up. I can see a small section with the audio synced, then the video repeats after a second throwing them out of sync. I also suspect that the Elemental accelerator does not process any faster than the default h.264 for Blu Ray encoder. I hope I did not waste my money on this nvidia quadro 1800..
    Whoooaa! I just woke up and checked the transcoding time.. To transcode approximately 2 hours of HDV it took 6:35 (hr:mm) with the elemental accellerator and it took 5:09 with my i7 920 chip!! Was that nvidia card a waste of money, or what?!!! Between the slower speed and the audio out of sync, I'd say I made a BIG misteak.. Does anybody want to buy a PNY nvidia quadro 1800? it'll be on ebay very soon..
    Win7 64bit, Master Collection 4, i7 2.66 Ghz, Kingston Triple Channel DDR3 1600Mhz 6Gb, ASUS P6T, PNY nvidia quadro 1800.....

    Thanks Neil,
    I don't think my audio interface has anything to do with it.. I am using Adobe Media Encoder for the export and the Audio interface's latency has nothing to do with it.. I see the source of the problem but not the solution.. The Elemental plugin is not working properly with the transitions in Premiere. The transitions are visibly botched and the sound is in sync for a partial second of each clip, then the video skips backward as the sound keeps playing. This happens on every clip after the transition.
    Whatever you were talking about might have to do with some kind of real time export, but to where? I think Premiere might have some auto plugin delay compensation for audio tracks.. I dont think you even read my post.. My MOTU 896 Mk3 audio interface has a 128 sample buffer leaving a few milliseconds of latency, and I can set it as low as 64.. This still has nothing to do with my problem.. Thanks for your input..
    I am curious to know what you thought I was capturing elemental streams and audio from my interface in real time to.. I was unaware of anything that works like that in this type of editing..
    The bottom line is that my i7 chip gets the job done much faster than the quadro 1800, and that's a shame that I spent the money on the 1800.. On top of that it doesn't even work properly!!

  • Audio out of sync when playing HD content

    Hey
    I've got an issue with the audio gets out of sync when playing some HD content. I've tried to make sure the video is stored on the Apple TV so it can't be the network connection.
    I've also tried a full reset of the unit, but still no luck.
    But it's all video clips that has this problem. Even though they encoded the same and so on, some videos audio get out of synced and some don't.
    Also have a problem with m4v files locking the ATV (and iTunes for that matter), but renaming it to a mp4 file seems to solve it. But if someone has a fix for that as well I'd much appreciate it.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Jeaz
    EDIT: I have tried to use component cables instead of HDMI, but the problem remains. Of course also tested the video on my Mac and no problems. A quick pause and resume usually solves it, but only for a minute or so.

    What sort of specification is the video content? Is spec too high for AppleTV.
    It may be that it's some kind of bug in AppleTV's playback, that the Mac does not exhibit, or an issue with encoding that causes a problem only on AppleTV.
    If you are encoding video and using same as source for the frame rate, it may be better in some cases trying explicitly to specify the frame rate required in case automatic frame rate conversion is introducing some kind of timing issue. Test a short clip to see.

  • Video/Audio out of sync / stutters at start and then jumps back into sync.

    Everything appears fine in the Simulator and when played in the computer. However I have noticed on 2 different DVD Players that when the video starts the audio is out of sync for about the first 20 sec or so and then slides back into sync for the remainder. Seems to sort of lag.
    I am exporting NTSC videos out of FCP and encoding via Compressor. I am using the Compressor presets (usually 120 min Fastest Encode).
    Anyone see this before?

    Fixed. There was 5 sec video clip that plays before the main video in the track. However, the 5 sec clip was video only, not audio, and was as a .mov as opposed to mpeg2. Anyways I encoded the 5sec clip in mpeg2/AAC and added it before the main clips and everything works. Still don't know WHY it happened and why it stuttered, any ideas? Don't think it was the lack of black at the start as i didn't add any.

  • Audio Out of Sync in iMovie.  And yes, I've tried detaching audio.

    I created a video of myself on my iMac using iMovie.  I used the iMac's internal camera and mic.  About a 1/4 through the video (it's about 15 minutes long), the audio starts getting out of sync.  I looked up solutions to this problem, and everywhere I read said to detach the audio from the clip(s).  I did that, and it was still out of sync.  I then tried to split my long 15 minute clip into multiple clips, and then I detatched the audio from each one of them.  Also didn't work.  I tried uploading to Youtube, and Youtube recognized the issue and gave me a series of steps to fix it.  Did it all, and still the audio is out of sync.  This is a simple, unedited video that should have taken me no more than 10 to throw together.  Instead, I've been screwing around with this for several hours.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks!

    44100 Hz is fine and the audio codec is fine. Most camcorders record at 48000 Hz, but audio CDs are recorded are 44100 Hz, and iMovie handles them well.
    However, your video frame rate is an odd number. A camcorder in the US will usually record at 29.97 frames per second. In Europe, the standard is 25 fps. On some cameras, you also have the option of 24 fps (same as a Hollywood movie).
    Your camera is recording at 14.89, which is about half of the 29.97 standard. I am guessing that the video is from a webcam or maybe a cell phone or still camera.  It is difficult to sync audio over long periods of time if your video is not conforming to the standards. Cameras like this may record at varioable rates, so sometimes you get more than 14.89 and sometimes less. Your best bet would be to make an iMovie project at 29.97 fps, so that it will basically repeat each frame of your video twice to get up to 29.78 fps. Even so, it will drift out of sync over time.
    If you had Final Cut Pro X, you could use the tools in FCP to conform your video and audio to a 29.97 timeline and probably keep it synced better. Long term, your best bet is to use a camcorder that can shoot 29.97 (or 30) fps.
    Short term, I would suggest keeping your clips in your project short. For your 15 minute clip, drag in the first minute, then the 2nd minute, etc. untill you have it all. Even so, it may drift. Detaching audio is probably not necessary.

  • Why is my audio out of sync when I reopen the project?

    Hi,
    Newbie question:
    I've synced my audio and video in the timeline, and linked everything, saved, etc, but when I reopen the project the next time I work on it, the audio is off again by a few frames.
    I can't figure out why this is happening. What step(s) am I missing?

    These are the details of my audio recording

  • CP4 - Audio out of sync when publish to AVI

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm having a problem when I create a presentation using most screen demonstrations where when I try to publish to AVI the audio moves out of whack.
    I am running a Vista PC with lots of RAM.
    When I publish to Flash it works fine... but we got this thing so that it would produce an AVI !
    Any ideas? I have played around with screen capture and encoding settings but to no avail.
    Any help much appreciated!

    Hello there,
    I am very sorry to hear that you have encountered problems when publishing to AVI. Since when you publish to SWF you do not experience the same problems, I would strongly recommnend that you report this issue to the Captivate team using the web address I have included below.
    Adobe Captivate Feature Request/Bug Report Form 
    I have seen some issues with the AVI converter and it would be useful if the CP team could inspect your source Captivate file.
    If you are working to a deadline then in the meantime you might want to download a trial version of SoThink's SWF To Video Converter. At least for this project you could then get the files converted to AVI whilst you wait to hear back from the CP team.

  • I have footage shot on a p2 camera, why won't all of the clips transfer when using Log and Transfer?

    Only about 60% of the clips transferred over or was shown in the Log and Transfer window.

    Offload the cards...back them up.  That is priority #1.  Do that first...then return the camera.  Then try mucking about with this.
    Back up the ENTIRE card structure.

  • Audio out of sync from demuxed program stream

    Hi All,
    I've been trying to resolve this problem without any success. I recently ripped some video from a dvd in order to make a backup. I extracted the title I wanted as a muxed program stream. I then used MPEGStreamclip to demux into .m2v and .ac3 files. I imported these into DVDSP and burned the disc. The result is that the audio drifts out of sync over the course of the length of the video (about 1.5 hours). I've done this same exact procedure many many times and haven't had this problem before. In fact the video will play back in perfect sync in both MPEGStreamclip and VLC. I did notice when importing the files into DVDSP that the length of the ac3 file shows a difference of almost 4 seconds (shorter) than the video. So obviously this is the problem. I just can't understand why if the video plays back perfectly its not being extracted properly by MPEGStreamclip. I also tried demuxing with BBDemux, which produced the same result. I then tried with the demux tools in ffmpeg and that process started creating numerous different versioned files of the original file and actually ended up running out of disc space.
    Has anyone run into this problem before and found a solution?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Ok, I understand what you're doing now. But you're losing some quality by going to 422 and then back to m2v again, not to mention the extra time required for the encoding.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    I have used this method frequently when issues arise,
    I use the original "Video TS" from the DVD, open,
    Then open Streamclip, select the VOBs in the TS that don't end in a zero,
    and drop them into the streamclip window, singly if needed, then convert
    to (I prefer) pro res 422 SQ, I like the results better than DV.
    assemble if needed in FCP, match sequence settings to clip, and
    verify audio and video are in sync, then use compressor to create
    your m2v and ac3.
    Depending on how the original DVD was authored, menus, tracks etc.
    the ".0" VOBs will frequently contain a 1 sec. black slug, this can
    throw the audio out of sync when the video is extracted.
    if there is a motion menu this will become a video clip, usually
    in VOB "1.0", you probably don't want that.
    Hope this is a clearer explanation.

  • Audio out of sync after exporting into Quicktime using current settings.

    Quicktime file has audio out of sync when I export to quicktime movie using current settings.
    Ok for about the first few minutes then, out of sync after about 10 minutes.
    I shot the footage on tape with my Sony HVR-Z7u.
    My Sequence setting is the same as the format of the footage as shown below.
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
    Editing Time base: 23.98
    Quicktime video settings: Compressor: HDV 1080p24
    Audio Settings: Rate 48 KHz
    Depth: 16bit
    Clip format:
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
    Vid Rate: 23.98
    Compressor: HDV 1080p24
    Audio Rate 48 KHz
    Audio Format: 16bit

    I recently moved and both of my editing machines were unplugged for a couple of days until I could get them set up. After turning them back on, the problem had disappeared. Perhaps leaving the system unplugged had allowed some of the internal components to reset? That's the only thing I can think of. At any rate, the issue is gone.

  • Help - audio out of sync

    Hi everybody. I'm working on a DVD. My settings are HDV 1080p24. Picture and audio are in sync in FC. They are OUT of sync when I make a quicktime, and stay out of sync when I compress and burn to DVD.
    I exported using 'quicktime movie'/current settings/make video self-contained UNCHECKED.
    Could making the video NOT self-contained be throwing the audio off?
    The audio starts in sync and gets more and more out of sync. By the end it's 1.5 seconds behind.

    Do you have this problem if you make the export "self contained"?
    What is the exact format for the material? Are you certain the source material is REALLY 24p or is it 29.97 with pulldown added that you have put back into a 24p timeline?
    Indeed, what are your exact sequence AND export settings?

  • No Audio during Log and Capture

    Hello, I have FCP 6.0 and am unable to hear my audio during log and capture. I have this problem on all 5 G5 Macs that I have, and have tried different editing docks and cables. I have used FCP for more than 5 years and have never had this problem. iMovie has audio during capture, so I am convinced that there is a pre-set in FCP that I don't have checked properly, but I've been over them many times and still have no answer. I searched past forums and didn't really find anything helpful to me.
    My pre-sets are set to DV NTSC 48kHz and the playback pre-sets are set to default. I can hear audio of my clips after I log and capture, but I still need to hear audio during importing. I'm more confused than anything. If anybody has had this problem before or any suggestions for me, I'm all ears.
    Thanks.
    John

    ... as Bogie says.
    However... this is a non-feature that dates back to slower CPU days... yet, still with all the different formats and such I (ME!!) I believe it's still good practice to leave it off.
    Devoting as much CPU work to the capture process lessens the chance for something to go wrong. You can easily monitor the audio directly out of the deck as needed.
    Sure -- octo cores need 30 apps open just to get your money's worth and I'm sure you won't have any issues using an 8th of one to send audio thru itself while the other 7 and 7/8ths are used for capture... but who wants to risk it?
    Not me... I'm to old to change my ways.
    Blast you FCP v1.2.5 on a beige G3 with 7gig and 15gig hard drive -- you taught me well.

  • Audio Out of Sync - Why and How to Correct

    I nested two 90 minute clips from 2 separate cameras which were both shot in AVCHD. I am using Premiere CS 5.5 . As a former FCP editor, whenever audio went out of sync, a message in FCP came up immediately and told you the audio was out of sync and it was an easy fix. How come Premiere is minus such an important feature?
    I shoot stage productions where there may be music but no dialogue so chercking sync becomes rather difficult. After finishing a 2 hour video, I found the audio was out of sync in the nested sequences. Is there any way to auto resync the audio automatically?
    Seems to me that Premiere Pro is a sub Pro App if simple audio sync is so hard to maintain in nested sequences. Makes nesting a sequence a waste of time if you have to redo the edit as a reslut of audio out of sync.

    Hello Everyone,
    Has anyone found a solution to this BUG?
    This happens to me all the time with Adobe Premier CS6.
    It is an obvious Software BUG that needs to be corrected. I am a TV show editor.
    I have had this happen to me 4 different times. You don't have to do anything special. The video with sound runs perfectly with any other product on your computer..but goes out of sync in Premier. I have tried cleaning up the Media Cache .cfa and .pek waveforms. No joy. I have tried relinking the media. No joy. I have tried moving the project and renaming and relinking. No joy. Rendering No joy. Setting the media cache to local area. No joy.
    If this had happened to me just once, I would say, I have done something wrong. It has happened now in 4 different projects on four different shows. I have produced and released over 100 shows to TV.
    I have checked everything, I have reloaded footage off camera. I have checked and bought new cables. I have checked codecs, frame rates, loaded into other products. All fine. I just wish Adobe engineers would do this same type of debugging of their software.
    I use to work for Hewlett Packard Software division.  We were taught to alfa test, beta test and not release until bug rates
    were at certain levels. Some bugs just have get through or you never get to release. But this bug really hits your productivity in a major way. You have to resync BY HAND each cut... all your sound after hours and days and weeks of getting it perfect. Then in a split second. FFFFDDDDDDDDD
    I have been editing with Premier for 6 years.... It only seems to be since I have upgraded to CS6.  And I have to re-link by hand to correct the problem.  I sync on electronic clapper board number and sound - almost impossibe not to sync. I will be working away happily, cut out some footage go to my next grab..BANG out of sync. That simple.
    All I know is that it happens and for ADOBE to really be a true professional editing suite in the the TV/Movie world.... This is just not on. By any chance have they released a patch or bug fix to repair this. I have spent over 3 weeks edting a television show again .......needing to go to air in less than three weeks and all of a sudden between one cut and delete.. the sound is out of sync across the whole interview. JUST NOT ON. I have spent 4 hours now..none productive hours trying to resync the sound, find solutions on the website via forums. Some ideas have been really good and I have tried them. None have worked. Still unsynced. Almost completed show I now have to re-sync by hand. At this point, I am thinking FCP is looking good. I cannot stand this loss of productivity and time. 
    This is not the only forum complaining about this..that should tell you something.

  • Audio out of sync in iTunes

    Hey Apple,
    Why are you forcing the apple community to fix the iTunes audio out-of-sync issue. This has been going on for a loooooong time and the Apple community is suffering from it. We are not happy about this. You need to get support to fix this problem immediately.
    I have never enjoyed all  the buggy software you guys throw around and call it good to go when it's not, Very irresponsible to your customers. Hurry up and fix the out of sync issue. Bad Apple, BAD Support.

    I am having the exact same problem. Video plays fine out of iTunes, but audio is out of sync when playing the exact same file through iTunes

  • Picture and audio out of sync on DVCPRO50 clips

    I digitized some 29.97 fps/16-bit audio DVCPRO50 footage in FCP6 at DVCPRO50 setting. The captured quicktime clip plays back fine in the quicktime player, but when I drop the clip into a DVCPRO50 project timeline, the video plays back faster than the audio. The longer the clip plays, the more the sync discrepency. I digitized several clips, and I noticed that the data rate is different for each clip, varying between 6.0 and 6.2 MB/sec. One clip with a data rate of 7.0 MB/sec plays back fine, same settings, same everything. What made this clip different, and why does it work when the others, all the same except the data rate, don't? More importantly, is there some way to change it so it does work without having to re-capture my footage?

    How long are the clips that are out of sync? In my experience there is a bug that appears from time to time that throws DVCPRO 50 footage out of sync if you capture it in chunks longer than 10 minutes. The only solution I have found is to go back in a break up the capture so that clips are no longer than 10 minutes a piece. Look in the browser under the audio column and instead of seeing 48khz you will probably see something like 47.982345 khz or similar. If that's the case then you have to re-digitize. Make sure you are using log and capture instead of capture now, and try not to run any other programs on the mac while you capture.
