  • Premiere CS6 Audio Sync Issue

    Posted by John Deas on September 23, 2013 at 4:20 pm

    Hello all,

    I come to you with a question I’m not sure at this point can be answered so please prove me wrong!

    I shot a bunch of video and the audio really isn’t all that important so I just shot it using the on board built in mic of my Canon 5D Mk II. All video was shot in 29.97fps and the audio is 48.00.

    The curious issue that I noticed is that at the very start of the clip the audio is in sync. HOWEVER almost immediately the video begins to lag behind the audio getting progressively further away.

    My questions is why does this happen as I’ve never had this issue before and is there a fix? I could continually blade tool the audio and move it down little by little but who wants to do that??

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks!

    I don’t know why that’s happening, but if you need to keep the in-camera audio in your project, export the audio as a wav/aif and re-import it into the project, throw it on the time line and shut off the video track audio. See if you still have the issue. If so, you can break the audio track up between quiet gaps with room tone or background noise areas, re-sync, and crossfade the room tone/background noise.

    UPDATE: Thanks for the responses guys but problem solved. After looking at the issue a number of different ways with a coworker of mine we think we have it figured out as well as a solution.

    We believe it to be a framerate issue due to some other firmware on the camera.

    The problem was solved by loading the video into FCP 7 (sorry Adobe) and using the speed / slip tool to alter the audio slightly. Audio and video line up great and simple solution.

    I use FCP 7 at work and am just doing this little project in Premier cs6 as a way to learn some other software. If there is a similar method of solution in Premier someone please feel free to post it!
