Quicktime audio/video out of sync
Hi there,
I have some problems with the Quicktime output in After Effects, the audio is out of sync by a couple of frames every time, no matter what quicktime format I choose, it even happens with Animation. Uncompressed avi is perfectly synced…My comp just contains a lot of psd’s and wav’s, nothing weird going on with that.
I’ve already searched around a bit for this but there doesn’t seem to be an answer, but isn’t this a MAJOR problem? What do you guys do to be able to export to quicktime properly?

I’ve never heard of that problem, but the workaround is just to lay out your video and audio in your NLE and go from there…

Thanks Joey,
What is an NLE? We need to have a final quicktime for the client…
-
It’s a non-linear editing system. Final Cut Pro, Premiere, Avid, etc…

I have rendered the uncompressed avi ( = perfect sync) in Premiere to Quicktime .mov, same problem…
A collegue of mine even installed After Effects 7 on his PC, since someone said that should help, unfortunatly it didn’t.

A shot in the dark –
Small out-of-sync errors are usually due to the difference between 29.97fps and 30fps rendering, for NTSC. Make sure you render to the same fps (frames per second) rate as your original uncompressed avi.

I am also experiencing the same problem. In both AE and in PPro. Quicktime doesn’t honor the frame rate, and I’m using a targa sequence, so there is no “native” frame rate for a sequence of images. Basically quicktime is about a frame off.
Did you have any luck solving your problem?

No luck whatsoever. This is really annoying.

No, after extensive contact with Adobe support there was no solution. Insane…

Might be a bit old, but better late than never 🙂
Have you tried decreasing the buffer size in the “audio hardware settings” (edit/preferences/audio hardware/settings)? I have had the same problem until I played around with different values. Basically the latency of the sound card cause problems. This fixed the problem for me ONCE. Now, I have that problem in CS4 again, and setting different buffer sizes doesn’t seem to help anymore.
