Audio out of sync AFTER importing
Hello, how are you?
I’ve been searching for a solution for a while, but I can’t seen to find any.
The thing is… I’ve been capturing some gameplay footage, with files that last an hour or even more.
When I watch the files in any player (Windows Media Player, VLC, Media Player Classic) they play fine, the audio and the video seems to be on sync and OK.
But after I import to Adobe Premiere, it just gets out of sync. Even when I watch in the Source Monitor, before dragging to the timeline.
It looks like there is a problem when conforming the audio.
But even the time duration is different from the original, there is some frames or even seconds of difference inside Premiere.
And this happens with different codecs, AVI (from FRAPS), H.264 (with AAC audio and MP3)…I’ve tried cleaning the cache, deleting the software and reinstalling again, converting – everything.
Some are saying this is a recurrent bug on Adobe Premiere. Isn’t there any fix or something that I could do?
It’s really strange that the problems only occur AFTER importing. Outside of Premiere is fine, so there is no problem with the capture, right?
I would really appreciate if someone helps me. Thanks a lot!
PS: I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.

If the audio coming from the game system is not locked to the video, then you will end up with a sync drift when you import the footage into PP. Video editors care a great deal that exactly 48K samples equal one second of media at whatever frame rate you are using.
If you have Adobe Audition from CS6, you can import the audio and squeeze/stretch time to match the picture, then render out a new audio track to edit with. I’ve done this on files up to 2 hours long where I’ve reinterpreted the frame rate of picture in After Effects.

Hey, been searching and haven’t found any solid solutions yet. What’s working for me is to unlink the audio and video and adjust one of them to meet the other using the “speed/duration” option. For most of my projects a 104.5 adjustment in video helps.
