    Posted by Mike Biewer on February 8, 2011 at 8:08 pm

    Hey guys,

    Here is a weird one that I haven’t experienced before.

    I took some video with my flip cam. 720p, 1280 x 720, 29.97 fps, with 44100 hz Compressed Stereo.

    I imported all the footage into Premiere Pro into a sequence that has, I believe all the same settings.

    Now, when I get towards the end of a longer file, about 5 minutes in, the audio is off about 4 to 8 frames, it varies…

    Any ideas? The source file plays fine on my computer in quicktime, but once brought into Premiere Pro, it is off.

    Thanks in advance.

    Mike

    I’ve been messing with this for a bit now. I noticed that my audio out of my flip cam was 44.1 Compressed Stereo, but my Project is set to 32-bit Floating Point.

    However, I can’t figure out how to change the project setting to match the audio of the native file. Anyone know how to do that?

    Otherwise, I’m sitting here exporting video out of AE with the correct audio setting, but my files get SO huge coming out of AE that I can’t scrub my timeline and see if I’ve even fixed the issue.

    This is the nature of the beast, but this is my biggest gripe about video production. Why can’t we just standardized some stuff so there aren’t these piddly issues that turn into barn burners…

    Thanks!

    Again, doing more research and I’ve found that the FLIP is problematic for PP and editing.

    Great.

    I’ve made a few videos and never had an issue. Long ones, like 10 minutes of me as a talking head, and never had an issue. I just don’t get why, all of a sudden, this doesn’t work.

    I suppose I can try editing in AE, though that is a huge pain in the butt…

    Lesson learned. If anyone knows a work around, please advise.

    Thanks

    And just for some history…

    I’ve been using this same cam for over a year now doing this stuff and its just ONE clip that doesn’t seem to work any more…How weird is that?

    I’m going to write this off as a learning experience. I’ll be very cautious in the future making any guarantees with this cam. But as you can see. For SO long it just worked.

    So, from what I’ve gathered. FLIP cams are not meant to edited on professional softwares…

    Thanks for letting me rant. Hopefully someone else finds this useful in the future when searching for FLIP and Premiere Pro.
