Export track 2 audio out of sync no luck deleting renders

[Richard Herd]

Try this.

Unlink the video and audio, by right clicking, choose unlink.

Right click the out-of-sync audio and set the speed to .999.

Hope it works!

(23.976/24)= .999

&

(29.97/30)= .999

I did try that and when it exported, that boom track 2 shifted the pitch as if it was playing it the wrong rate, which it was at that point.

[Richard Herd]

Bummer.

We need to get into the weeds, here.

It sounds like your boom track was recorded at a different sampling rate than the sequence track is playing back.

Try this….(fingers crossed)…use Adobe Media Encoder to resample the audio track to the exact same settings as your sequence setting. This will create a new piece of audio media, which you will have to import and place in the sequence.

You might have to round trip, by opening the audio-in-question in its own sequence, all by itself.

Just to be clear.

Right click the audio in question and unlink it. Select it. Copy it. Open a new sequence. Paste it in there. Export but be sure to Queue the export in Adobe Media Encoder. Proper audio should be 48k at 16-bit. I have found that when going between Premiere and Audition, Audition resamples the audio to 32-bit float, and it generates new time code. (Note: I am using CS6.)

Wow, sure is a workaround. This is too bad becuase it’s several cards that were shot at an incorrect rate them I’m tryin to convert and then send into FCP 7. Not my NLE call, but it’s worth a shot.

Thank you!

What was your production workflow? You said you had a boom mic, but what was it plugged into?

ARe these audio files muxed on the video?

[Rosie Walunas]

It’s C300, lav on 1 boom on 2. We’re editing 23.976 in FCP, and those wrong shot cards were shot 29.97.

I guess I’m confused. Was the mic (or mixer) plugged into the camera? Or recorded off board?

In the old days (2005), we shot on film and recorded to DAT. So everything was captured in post, anyway. It’s not like your particular workflow is wrong — just old school 🙂

[Rosie Walunas]

It’s a C300 camera, I don’t know how the mics were plugged in or if they used a mixer. Prod is pretty bad about conveying this info – I mean they got the shooting frame rate wrong! So I just have the raw camera files and the lav track is track 1 and the boom is on track 2. And I have to keep these split, so that when the clips are converted and brought into FCP, and audio tracks remain separate.

[Richard Herd]

Yuck. I feel your pain.

Can you contact the DIT for original captured audio media?

I would be surprised if the camera inputs have different sampling frequencies…I’m gonna look in the manual…

[Rosie Walunas]

“Can you contact the DIT for original captured audio media?”

I wish. This was something they shot in May and left until now to load. They just dumped the card on to the field drive.

I don’t think its a corruption thing though. I mean it plays fine in the timeline, It’s got to be some stupid little thing in Premiere.
