Please help! Regardless of what format I export my video to, it always ends up out of sync. Within the program it plays perfectly. The exported files end up with the audio too slow/video too fast.
Any tips much appreciated!
Oh and I'm running Movie Edit Pro 15 on vista.
Thanks!
Hello Andrea:
I don't use the specific program you mentioned, however I recalled a similar inquiry about this problem. Here's the link: http://www.magix.info/us/is-it-possible-to-fix-the-audio-video-out.knowledge.181270.html.
Hopefully, you may find something of a solution there.
(BTW, this seems to be a recurring theme for many others using Movie Edit Pro). But, then again, the "audio out-of-sync" issue can and does happen with lots of other programs as well...
Good luck.
Griff
Thanks for that, nycgriff - unfortunately that user was having a different issue with the video/audio being out of sync *within* the program.
Mine is only an issue when I export it to play elsewhere.
Hi,
If this only happens on export, you need to make sure your audio and video bit rates are the same as the original. Please confirm that the audio sync is fine when you playback the video in the time line. What file format are you exporting to?

Hello Andrea:
Okay. You may have to resort to a third-party solution. There is a media player program called VLC. Have you heard of it? The program has a neat little feature that will allow you to adjust the out-of-sync nuisance in your exported video. The program is FREE, and comes with great credentials. Check out this link first: http://lifehacker.com/5910943/fix-out+of+sync-audio-in-vlc-with-a-keyboard-shortcut.
Then, if you find it palatable, run a Google search and download. Please let us know if that presents a solution to your troubles or not.
Take care and good "synching" (hopefully).

Hi Andrea,
@Griff, nice tool you suggested. The only problem I have with it is that it is a player so if you want to send the video to someone else or burn it to DVD, the recipient would need to have the player to adjust the audio. 50 milliseconds is actually very very good, much better than most wich only allow 1 frame or 1/30 th of a second for NTSC and 1/25 th of a second for PAL.
If this video is to be shared, I stick by my original comment which is to get the audio and video bit rates right, and the audio problem should go away.

Hi Folks:
As I'm reading gandjcarr's initial suggestion, I think he's closer to the best possible solution. Both bitrates should match up, thereby avoiding these issues in the first place -- unless, of course, there are other OS, video/audio, codec anomalies at play.
Definitely, worth the added effort... Good recommendation gandjcarr.

Hi Andrea,
Griff is right on, the video/audio codecs need to be right before you can even think about how to get this right. Good catch Griff!. If the codecs are not right for the format you are exporting to, you will have a miriad of problem not the least of which will be audio sync. So you need to have the most up to date codecs for the file "package" you are exporting to. Which is why I asked what file format you want to export to.
George
Thanks everybody for the suggestions... the codecs were updated and the file rates were the same as the original videos. I ended up getting a new version of movie edit pro (MX plus) and exported from the same project file and had no problems!
