  • Sony EX1 and Zoom H4 and H6 losing sync

    Posted by Alejandro Solé on March 15, 2024 at 10:42 pm

    I have two Sony Ex-1 for recording image and sound, and two Zoom H4 and H6 to record sound. After 40 / 45 minutes of continued recording the sync is lost in Premiere Pro 2020. Both at 24 or 30 fps. We’ve tried changing from 24 to 16 bits, from 48 to 44.1 khz and so on.

    Has anyone had this same issue?

    How can it be solved?


    I’ve found only two solutions, but don’t like neither. One is cutting every 30 minutes and star recording again, the other one is cutting the clips, then syncing in Pr Pro, exporting that audio and then importing again. That’s a lot of work.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sometimes you may need to convert the original file format of what your Sony EX1 and Zoom H4 uses to a format that is fully supported by Premiere Pro or Sony Vegas. So if you do that, you shouldn’t have to cut clips to 30 minutes or less. Some cameras just does not record in a format that works automatically on some video editing programs unless you install a codec for it and thats not always guaranteed! Hope this helps and best of luck!
