  • Syncing Audio to Video with different frame rates possible!?

    Posted by Tasha Li on October 23, 2008 at 8:20 pm

    Hi,

    Trying to help a friend out with a video he recorded. He recorded his band playing, video/audio separately, and when he went to sync them in post, they initially synced fine, but gradually fell out of sync as the song progressed.

    My guess is that the audio and video were recorded at different rates, although I realize without having seen the footage yet myself, there are a hundred variables here.

    Wondering how I go about fixing this. Does anyone know of a way to convert the frame rate of a video to match the audio without sacrificing quality?

    Appreciate any help you can offer!

    Cheers,
    T

    I’d start with making sure the audio sampling rate matches the project. Generally, Avid defaults to 48k. If he recorded on a CD recorder, for instance, it probably recorded a 44.1 sampling rate. Either transcode the audio in Avid, or change the samping rate in settings>audio project.
