audio sync CS4
Tim
You seem very knowledgeable about Premiere. I am now running CS4 and have 32 hours of HDV footage imported as mpeg4. on most of the tapes the audio starts sliding off half way through in the timeline making the footage a misery to try to edit. My computer runs windows seven has quad CPU q3800 @2.50GHZ, 4 gig of ram and a 32 bit operating system I see a few people with this problem though havent come across a solution. this computer is dedicated editing no games installed
Do I have a codec issue? is their a fix available my hair has been pulled out any input thanks -

HDV is Mpeg 2, you cannot capture as anything else. Explain your workflow beginning with the camera.

Thanks Mike
The footage was shot on two Sony HVR-AIP CMOS chip (same as the A1U) I captured the files into a premiere pro2 project – HDV 1080i 25(sony 50i)as HDV- thus Mpeg2 (as you corrected me)The files play fine with no problems in Windows Media player and in a Gom Player but in Premiere pro 2 most of the files have sound sync problems, though not all. Each of the files that I captured are about 60 min long and the ones that mess up seem to mess up halfway through and the sound sync get progressively worse with time until I have a delay of say 3 seconds. Though there seems to be no clear pattern.
I have opened the files in CS4 and the problem is the same
I am stuck with this Mike and any input would be appreciated
thanks again

Dropping frames on capture will result in video being shorter than audio. I think that CS4 displays RED frames as placeholders in the timeline after capture, but not 2.0.
Your machine may not be up to capturing…background apps such as virus scans, update attempts, etc or full hard drives.
Try recapturing 30 min sections. -

another thing is the sync problem is related to some dropout on the visual on the Premiere timeline. after a flash of red frame the audio sync drops. If I play same MPEG in windows media player I see the dropout as a still frame but sound and video are still linked for the rest of the footage; any ideas as there a frame dropoust on a lot of tapes and having to lipsync on all tapes would be very very difficult
bereft of hair and patients
thanks

Once again I would hope there is a premiere solution that doesnt require recapturing all the HDV footage because of a few frames visual dropout, this is a ton of time consuming work and if the footage is playable on desktop players why do I have such a problem with premiere
boo hoo
wish I believed in santa claus to fix it
thanks anybody, everybody, mike!!!
