Out of sync audio on dvd from Premiere Pro CS3

[Vince Becquiot]

Are we talking DV footage? Are you exporting at a different frame rate than your current project?

Never seen it happen and I’ve had quite a few DVDs made from CS3 already.

No it’s all the same

How are you making DVD’s with the trial version? It has no Mpeg exporting options? What is your workflow?

[Dougie Campbell]

I am simply dropping the exported file into Nero.Maybe that’s my problem and it will be resolved once I purches the full version and can export into encore?

I know that when I first started using Premiere . . . before the software gained the ability to export to DVD directly from the timeline, that if you left any gaps (instead of using the black clip) that my audio would be out of sync.

For example . . . I would fade to “black” (blank timeline) at the end of a scene, leave a gap of blank timeline and the fade up into the next scene and I would always get audio out of sync on export. Never had the problem once I started using the black clip . . . and I always have since.

Hope that helps!

That certainly looks like it could be the problem as I have gone to black a couple of times.Can you tell me please-what is the “black clip” and how do I use this to substitute?

Cheers

Just right click in your project window (where your media clips are located) and go to “new item” – black video.

Just edit that in where you have blank spaces in the timeline and use cross dissolves for your fade in/out.

Thanks for that.I’m bulging with knowledge now!

You’re welcome!

Hi,

I seem to be having audio sync problems with DVD export from Premiere Pro 2.0 (when played on a standard DVD player). All my settings are matched up, working with a good system; using DVD+R. Haven’t had this prob before. There is no video at the end (fades out to nothing and music continues to play without video and then audio fades out). I inserted some black video at the end, as per this discussion. What I don’t get though is that Media player plays it off the DVD with audio in-sync, it previews fine in the DVD Layout section of PP2 before I burn, playback is fine in the timeline, and the empty video at the end (before I inserted the black video) is much longer than the amount that the audio is actually out of sync on the DVD player. I’m burning a new DVD with the black video now…will let you know how it goes.

Thanks.

Jesse
