Audio/Video syncing is fine in FCPX, but altered when uploaded to Vimeo…?
Hey everyone,
Just wondering if someone could give me some advice as to how I can fix this issue. When I watch my longboarding video via playback in final cut pro x, its perfect as can be with the transitions from clip to clip syncronizing as I expected with the audio, but when I uploaded it to Vimeo, it’s ever-so-slightly off. In other words, the clip will change to another one a few milliseconds after the beat of the music “drops” so to speak, which doesn’t seem like much but it’s quite noticeable to me. Any way I can fix this with a re-export and a re-upload?
Thanks a bunch,

Don’t use the FCPX preset. Make sure you follow the specs posted on Vimeo’s website exactly.

My general sentiment is I never use the “Upload to . . .’ features of any app. I always like to encode locally and check before uploading.
Regardless where the issue is I like to know before it goes live.
Issues might be with settings, the encoder, rendering in FCPX, the Online Video Provider’s re-encode. There’s just no easy way to know where the problem is unless you can QC at every possible stage.At least if you do your own encode and upload and see a difference you can then report the comparative results to Apple.

If you follow Vimeo’s spec to the letter, you will rarely have a problem.
The preset Apple uses (which is also in Compressor) differs from what Vimeo recommends a great deal.

Thanks for the input guys, but I actually tried to re-export it using H.264 which is what Vimeo recommends, and honestly that’s the only customization I can do with this new fcpx….but I re-uploaded it to vimeo, yadayada, and from the looks of it, nothing has changed. Maybe your acute editor eyes will pick up on what I’m talking about, if you’d like to have a look I think that’d help a lot. The video link is: https://vimeo.com/29851357 and if you guys have any more ideas, t’would be much appreciated. Thanks,
Colin

What’s missing is your analysis of the file on your desktop you exported. How else are you going to determine whether it’s FCPX export or Vimeo. The point is that you must check at every stage. Looking at the end results on Vimeo doesn’t tell you where the fail point is.
Please check the file you exported before uploading the video and report the results.
