VideoStudio :: Transitions While Keeping Audio In Sync Between Photos?
May 23, 2011
I am using v X4.I have a video clip that contains audio that I split off into its own audio track, right click split audio. I then edited out a couple parks of the video replacing the cut video with a still image. right click replace video with still image. So far so great, everything plays back perfectly. When I put transitions in where the video meets the photo or when the photo then meets up with the video again the audio gets out of sync. Is there a way to get the transition in there and still have the audio track be in sync with the rest of the video?
V=video T=transition "photo for 4 seconds" is where the photo has bee inserted. A= audio track X=out of sync
I am using VSP X3 Pro on a Windows 7 Professional 64bit PC. Input video files are AVCHD from a Canon SX 210s camera.
Picture format is QuickTime 1280x720, 24bit, frame rate 29.97, sound 16bit little Endian, 48000kHz, 16bit stereo. Files copied from an SD card.
I find that if I insert transition effects I lose the original recorded audio from that point forward in the clip that follows. If I do not use transition effects then the audio is fine. If I subsequently remove the transition then the audio is restored. It appears the transitions are the root cause of the problem. Identical problem if I use my Windows 7 32 bit laptop. The audio track remains visible in the timeline even when no sound can be heard.
Based on a previous suggestion I've used a workaround by converting the clips to a different format before editing. Using AVI, the audio in clips following a transition file is not lost but the video quality is seriously degraded.
I've reinstalled the software & all the three available patches. The problem has been around ever since I moved to my new PC on Windows 7.
Have just started using Corel Video Studio Pro X3 on my new desktop PC on Windows7 64 bit. I was previously using on a Windows XP Pro PC without any issues.When I create a video file with transitions I only get circa 0.25sec of audio after each transition , then silence. If I delete the transitions then I get continuous audio. Have tried various & random transitions but no difference.I’m starting with files from a Canon camera with the following spec.: Movies: MOV (Image data: H.264, Audio data: Linear PCM) (Stereo. I’ve tried creating files of MPEG2 (720x576, 25FPS, PAL DVD (16:9) & same as project settings but no difference.

I'm using VS Pro x4 with one update installed. I recently created a disk for Zumbathon which was an ALS fundraiser. It was footage shot on a Canon HF S21 and the quality used was second from the best (I can't tell you the setting at the moment). I have used this camera and this setting for other videos and have never had an issue. Basically I took about 10 clips and inserted them in the time line overlapping each which caused the program to add a transition clip at random which I expected. I viewed the 4 minute video in the edit mode and all was perfect. The transitions were awesome and matched the beats of the music. These clips involved exercise footage with music playing in the background and they were in HD.
After burning a disk, (AVCHD and DVD) I noticed an audio drop out between clips with transitions. Also some audio at the beginning of these clips was also clipped. I tried everything under the sun to get this right including replacing all the transitions. The only thing that worked was the following:
Splitting off the audio to a separate audio track which was difficult. Why I experienced the audio drop out only when rendering to disk or file--not in the time line? As mentioned, I have used transitions for years with this program and never experienced this issue before.
I have just loaded X4 (previously used VS 11.5 Plus); however, I can not seem to get the sound working properly inside the X4 program. My sound card is fine and when I play/select the individual files using windows explorer they all play fine. Is there a global mute setting that I have to turn off/on?
Also, I have a lot of audio, transitions(burger, etc) and animation files from VS 11.5+ that I would like to make available in X4. How you upload these file into X4? How to load the Bonus Audio content that came with X4 (animal, cartoon, etc)...
I've edited together some PAL SD video clips, that I copied and pasted from my Sony DCR-SX53ES camcorder, and auto-generated music and when I preview the project through the edit screen everything is okay. I then selected Create Video File and DVD and the output file completed successfully, however, when I play back the file both the original audio from the video clips and the added music are out of sync with the video pictures by about 4 seconds.
This did not happen the previous time I used X4 with the same camcorder and on the same PC, how to correct it.
I just downloaded the VideoStudio X5 Trial, and want to crop a 10-minute video of my baby to the minute she's singing. Her grandparents would love it.
I noticed that when I imported the video into the timeline, the audio was about 0.75s ahead of the video, when in "Project" mode. In "Clip" mode it looked/sounded fine. When I render the video, it also has the same sync problem as in "Project" mode.
Here are the details of the video:
Video type: H.264 Baseline Profile Video Total frames: 18,430 Attributes: 24 bits, 1280 x 720 Frame rate: 29.908 frames/sec Data rate: 11965 Kbps
Audio type: MPEG AAC Audio Total samples: 29,736,960 Attributes: 48000Hz, 16 bit, stereo Bit rate: 96 Kbps
I'm trying to create a music video in the latest trial of X5 (with SP1 and latest QT) with not much luck as the audio/video sync keeps changing.
I've imported all my .MOV files into a project library, files ranging from 50mb to 1gb in size.
Clip properties are:
Video Track 1: 24bit, 1920x1080 29.970 frame/sec Sound Track 1: Compression: 16-bit Little Endian 48K, 16bit, stereo
From the get-go, when I Preview or Clip trim view any video segment, the audio is slightly out of sync. I've confirmed the original clip file is fine.
Since I am trying to sync only the video portion of the clip to a pre-recorded audio file I went ahead and lined up a few video clips with the audio file and it see if it would export in in sync but no such luck. Even after synching my video to my pre-recorded audio, the export is out of synch.
X5 looks like a decent program but if I can't even preview my clips with a good audio synch I think this X5 is tremendously flawed.
I have a problem with audio in Video Studio 3. When I insert an AVI file into the timeline and edit it, the audio becomes offset with the video. I have tried just inserting the audio but have the same problem.
If I insert the audio file and click on Sound Mixer I can see the waveform of the file. Although I can hear the audio from the start, the first 1 second of the waveform is at zero and the waveform remains 1 second behind the sound.
If I pause the file and click the curser further along then the offset becomes much greater, around 30 seconds.
If I split the clip at say 10 seconds and delete the first 10 seconds then move the remainder to zero on the time scale, the the remaining file seems to have around 30 seconds missing from the start but the waveform shown stays correct.
I have tried with ripple editing turned on and off. Becoming very frustrated when trying to sync four cameras and their audio.
I have used X2 for a couple years, but recently bought a new PC with Windows 7. I finished a project (successfully), then after finding and downloading the Windows 7 patches, I was able to burn the project. However, at some point roughly 5 minutes in, all the audio is ahead of the video by about a half a second, and remains that way for the remainder of the project. Watching the project in X2, it works fine, so it is a burn issue. I tried normalizing audio, but that doesn't work. It just seems like a software glitch.
I purchased (USB-Live 2) to convert VHS tapes to DVD. I initially purchased "Ulead VideoStudio 11" to capture and edit video, but the software wouldn't work. I received the following messages: "cannot start the capture graph" or "cannot capture: copy protected material". I was unable to receive a solution from the Hauppauge tech people or the corel tech people, therefore I purchased the Pinnacle studio 12 software and their Dazzle DVC 100 capture device.
Using the "USB-Live 2" device and Pinnacle Studio 12 as my capture software and Ulead VideoStudio 11 to edit and burn, I successfully converted about 100 VHS tapes to DVD disks. Then the Audio would not sync. What happens is that for about 5 minutes the audio will be out of sync, then something happens and the audio will re-sync and stay in sync until the end of the project. But, with the next tape I try to capture the same problem occurs.When in capture mode I can start capture and let it record for about 5 minutes, then, start the tape in the VCR and the audio will be in sync. I wiped the Hard drive and reloaded Windows XP and all of my programs. I also replaced the sound card, but I still have the same problem. I think the problem is with the Hauppauge USB-Live 2 capture device. If I use the Dazzle DV100 there is no sync problem, just a lot of dropped frames.Also, now when I am capturing the video I have no audio but when I edited the project the audio will be on. When I installed the New Sound Card I disabled the onboard HD Audio and it is still disabled.The following are my computer specs.

After i import video files - and try to play them in Video Studio - the video is not smooth (i jitters) and the audio is not in sync with the video.When i play the same video file in windows media player they play well. The Videos are in full HD (.m2ts) format.
Am converting a VHS tape to DVD. So captured successfully (albeit with an EzCap device). Produced a fairly good quality AVI file and with no editing at all, used VS x2 to produce my mpeg compatible file.
Details of that file are here: File Format: PAL DVD File Size: 4,514,938 KB Duration: 6056.920 Secs Video Type: MPEG 2 Video, Lower Field First Totoal Frames: 151,173 frames Attributes: 24 bits 720 x 576, 16:9 Frame Rate: 25.000 frame/sec. Data Rate: Variable (Max 6000 kbps) Audio Type: Dolby Digital Audio Total Samples 290.252,160 Samples Attributes: 48000 Hz, 5.1 Channels Layer: None Bit Rate 384 kbps
Started a new project, imported the mpeg into the timeline and proceeded to produce my DVD folders. The only custom setting was to reduce the bitrate to 5,000 to get the whole file onto one DVD.
So far so good. Problem is slight out of sync audio towards the middle to end of the DVD. It gets progressively worse as if the audio is at a slightly different frame rate to the video! I have double checked my settings when burning the DVD folders and they are the same as the mpeg except for the bitrate and I have chosen LPCM Audio 48000 Stereo. I tried first with Dolby but that gave the OOS so thought I would try this new setting but the result was the same.
I have read the thread regarding sound breaking up in ProX3. I have this same problem in ProX3 and ProX2. But all of a sudden I am also experiencing the problem of the video and audio being out of sync in files from my Sony Handycam HDR-CX350 set on Standard. The video files I take using either a Sony or Olympus that I mainly use for still shots work fine.
When I first installed ProX2 and then ProX3 my struggle was with the changes in menus and such as I had been using VS11.5 but the videos themselves worked okay. Now all of a sudden I am experiencing the sound problems. I cannot tie the changes in with any specific Win update as I just don't remember the sequence of events.
At one point I had installed a PowerPoint video converter which gave me a registry error message at the time but the sound problems developed much after that time.
Yesterday I downloaded a trial version from another company thinking perhaps I needed to move on but I believe the out of sync problem is worse with that software than with Corel software.
I am wondering if a setting got changed in how the software manages the video from the handycam but I guess I am not smart enought to see what it might be.
Looking to upgrade my video software. I'm a long time user of Video Studio but my last version was 10. The lip sync was pretty bad then as was the new text menus and support, thus my reason for not upgrading. Same video files rendered with Nero (at the time) had no problems. I remember there being a sticky at the top of the support forum with all the things to do to try to minimize these problems.
I am using VS 10 and I have successfully captured all the video needed for this project (DV format). My project is an interview where I used 2 cameras during the recording session. On one camera I used a microphone and I want to use that audio throughout the project for consistency. At the beginning of the session I recorded a timer from my laptop screen to better sync the video during editing.
I placed one camera video on the video track and the other on the overlay #1 track. I moved the overlay clip so it matched the frame of the timer on the video track. The 2 tracks synched up perfectly. How to cut back and forth from the second camera. I extracted the video track audio to the audio track thinking I could just cut the video track and the overlay track and slide the overlay track up to the video track. But, it won’t let me cut the overlay track. By the way, while not an expert,I am also not a first time user with the software as I have made a number of projects over the years.
I was following the old instructions on the recommended way of working with UVS10+ re DVD creation, i.e. do the work on the project save as a video file then come back into UVS10+ with a new project with nothing in the timeline (old computer Win XP, for burning I have a video editing profile) when ready to go into burn phase. In burn phase did the title, added transitions between the 10 clips, let UVS10+ auto add chapters between clips.
Kept all burn phase properties the same as the original, with smart render (no re-render of compatible MPEG2).
Burnt it on to a DL disc, all seemed hunky dory (but took ages to do the title) until came to play it, and then I found that the sound had gone progressively out of sync on the DVD.
The video files are kept on an external hard drive connected via USB. To be honest the old XP computer does run very slow now, as they all do with time as leeches attach themselves and drain speed and resources.
My question is what are the usual suspects for sync problems ? Data transfer from external hard drive ? Project settings in burn phase different from edit phase ?
Would it be better to create an iso on the internal C-Drive, then burn from the iso ? NB whatever USB port I attach devices to front/rear etc. I have always got the message this device can run faster, searched the net tried all the tips to no avail.
However this did not prevent me from creating single layer DVDs without sync problems in the past using this set-up/way of working, but PC is way slower now.
I guess the PC's effective speed might be in the frame ? How far back will the 'rot' go ?
Should I go as far back as putting the converted clips into the time line in the edit phase (totally new project), or will the VSP project/video files be ok, i.e. problem at data transfer/burn stage.
I'm thinking about re-doing the XP user profile to ensure that later installs have not cluttered all the profiles on the machine, i.e. including the video editing profile.
I have a video file, I have an audio file. Video is loaded in the video track, audio in the Voice track.
HOW in the ... do I sync them? I have the mixer on, I can see the wav graphics, I can see where I want them to line up but either the Video track must slide forward ( and it won't, it's locked on 0 ) or the audio track must slide backward (but it won't slide below 0 start) I've tried splitting, clipping... I can't get it cut just right. All I want is time frame 0 for the video to start at positive time frame within the audio.
I want to keep the original audio captured with video footage but remove the actual video and replace it with other video footage taken and still images. I'm guessing that this is possible using the overlay track, but ideally, I would like to just remove the original video so that I can use two new images between the main track and other "images" on the overlay track. I have no need for the original video, just the audio. Is this possible? If not, is there any way to insert audio from video onto either a music or narration track scrap the video portion?
I'm trying to edit a music performance shot with multiple cameras, both video and still, using VS X4. I'd like to e.g. insert (full-screen pan & scan) still pictures into the video stream with video cross-fading in and out, but I cannot find a way to get a satisfactory end result without breaking audio/video synchronization.
I've tried the following:
a) Put the picture on the overlay track. If I now put cross-fades on the overlay track, the fades are to/from black, not between main track video and overlay still, which is not the desired result. It is expected functionality, though, so no bug there.
b) Put the picture on the same (main) track with the video. First, I split the audio to a separate audio track to keep it intact. Then I split a piece of video out using chapter markers as guides and replace the cut-out piece with a still picture of equal duration. So far audio sync remains fine. But if I now insert cross-fades into the main track, it gets out-of-sync with the audio with every cross-fade (video gets shorter, probably to compensate for the audio missing in the still pictures?), and it is really cumbersome to manually repair sync after every transition.
Would there be any way to get cross-fades in for multi-camera processing without messing audio synchronization? Some nice function key (press CTRL/SHIFT/ALT etc. while dropping the transition onto the overlay track to force it to process between the overlay and the main video track instead)?
Have reinstalled Premiere Pro 6.0.5 because I cannot drag Audio Transitions or Effects to any Timeline sequences in my Projects. Have tried modifier keys, but to no avail.
I am trying the new audio sync feature in Premiere CC. I am highlighting audio from videoclip and audio from my external harddisk audio recorder. I can press the merge, but cannot choose the "sync by audio" option. I can also not choose the "synchronize" option from the list, as it is geryed out.
Anoter smaller issue , is that i have not figured out how to view the waveforms, i have solid color blocks.
I'm using Pr CC on a Win7 64bit Dell Precision M6700 laptop. I've shot and edited a number of interviews sans problemo but today I'm having problems with outputting a simple edit with audio and video in sync using the h.264 Youtube 720 preset. It's not terrible but enough to grate on the nerves! I attach a screen shot of both my video and audio setting. I've tried both 1 and 2 pass and plain cbr. It's now 2 in the morning CET, I'm knackered and I'm meeting the client first thing.
for some reason my video in AE that i am rendering is not in sync audio wise however i have the original file and the audio is fine. why is it that in AE the video is not in sync?i previewed it many time in different scenes however when the video hits about 2mins the video suddenly becomes off synceven tho the original video i have isnt.
I've been doing some game recordings with Nvidia's new ShadowPlay. The recording says it is done in "1080p @ 60 FPS with H.264". The recorder outputs into a .mp4 file. When I watch the raw footage, it is all properly synced. However, when I import it into Premiere, it is always out of sync without fail. I know very very little about the program, and have been trying to learn as I go, but I can't seem to figure out how to re-sync it. For now I've been having to cut the sound into parts and adjust the rates manually to get it to sync back up, but this is insanely tedious.
After building a new machine with Premiere CS5.5, using NVIDIA Q4000 card, I'm having troubles wioth my audio being out of sync. I am exporting DSLR footage which the same sequence was previously fine on export on my old computer. Now, when I export, the audio is a few frames out of sync. There's something really funny going on. When I play the same video file in Windows media player, it seems to be in sync. When I play it in Quicktime, it's clearly out of sync. Also, when I upload it to Vimeo, it's out of sync as well.

When I export the same file to Mpeg DVD, it seems in sync.
How is the best way to keep sync with clips that have audio. In Premiere for example, when a clip contains audio it handles both video and audio as a single thing until I explicitly unlink them. But in Smoke, even with the option Select linked, which as far as I can tell it only works for selecting and activate that little arrow (do not remember the name of the function) in the tracks table, keeps all ok but only on that track.
This is the normal operation of Smoke? He really will always treat the audio and video of same clip as separate things? Am I missing something? Because at least for me, that's came from Premiere, always be remembering to set all the tracks and always go to the menu and select Enable linked is what most complicates the editorial work in Smoke.
I just finished an animation in Flash and imported the JPEG sequence and the audio WAV into premiere. For some reason the audio wont sync up to the animation and I cant figure out why. Everything should be set correctly. The audio was originally created in after effects and even when I imported the JPEGs into the audio file in after effects it still wouldn't sync.
After importing my mp4 video into Premiere Pro, the audio plays perfectly, but the video is out of sync and plays as if though it's in slow motion.I've been using this software for about 4 months and have encountered this problem within the last few weeks.
I have been editing on Premiere and just recently encountered this problem: the video and audio get out of sync AFTER I have imported my media into the program. I have been importing my media in the following process:
I upload the media from my SD card in my camera onto my computer.I watch the media in QuickTime and it plays perfectly. Nothing is out of sync and everything plays in normal time.I create a new project in Premiere and import the media from my computer into the new project.I go to play the media back and start editing, and find the video and audio are out of sync. The video is playing extremly slowly and the audio is playing perfectly fine. I have played around with the speed and duration of just the video (not the audio) and all it does is create weird skips in the video. I have also tried exporting the media to see if it would somehow render itself out, but nothing seems to work. The problem is not with the camera or the original media.
This is how the video looks when I play it straight from QuickTime after uploading the media onto my computer from the SD card.
