Motion 2 Audio Problem with HDV
Posted by Hubert.k on February 14, 2006 at 5:20 pmAudio Problem with HDV
I Having problem with audio sync when i exporting from motion videoI am having problem’s with audio sync when exporting video from motion.
I am using a Sony FX1 HDV and presets in motion for HDV . The audio and video are not syncing, and it is changing variably. Sometimes the audio is ahead, sometimes it’s behind. I have tried changing bit rates and codecs, nothing seems to help.
Anywone ever have same problem ?

February 14, 2006 at 6:23 pmWhat system are you on? Motion plus HDV plus synced HDV audio requires top end processor power and gobs of RAM.

February 14, 2006 at 7:42 pmThe thing is QT player is just playing back, Motion is doing a huge amount of heavy lifting, processing and compositing and it depends on your graphics card, processor and ram far more than the QT player. In Motion audio sync is given a very low priority because it is a compositor not an NLE. So you may be better served by adjusting your workflow to not need audio sync while in Motion or use another codec that is less processor intensive for working- such as the Animation or DV codecs and then render out to HDV when the project is complete.

February 14, 2006 at 8:08 pmThe problem is occurring after I render, not just in motion.
It seems that in motion, there are a couple of extra seconds of audio at the front end. If I unlink the audio from the video, then shift the audio to the right a couple of seconds, everything syncs up.
What could be happening here?
Thank You

February 14, 2006 at 8:59 pmHmm- are you monitoring from the computer speakers or the camera? That could effect the apparent sync or lack thereof.
