Vdeio/Audio out of sync in and when exported from Premiere, but not in it’s raw format!
Hello!
This is my first post on this forum 🙂
Anyway, to the problem I’m having –
I use the desktop recorder “Camstudio” to record some tutorials for clients, but sadly enough I have had problems lately on my new setup/computer.. The audio and video get out of sync when I bring it into Premiere, in the preview and also when exported!
I use the Xvid-codec for my videos and I have tried to match the settings in which I record and the settings within my Premiere sequence, but I still get this terrible out of sync as soon as I add it to Premiere…
In other words, the recorded video is encoded by Camstudio as Xvid, everything is ok in my recorded footage, but when I try to add it in my project within Premiere for some editing everything gets out of sync.
I have searched for HOURS and found pretty much nothing so this is my last try before I give up, what could be the problem?

There’s a simple solution for this: do not use Xvid in Premiere. You might get it to play but it isn’t officially supported.

The use of a codec like Xvid in an implementation like screen capture may mean that your video is being encoded at a variable frame rate. Variable frame rate codecs cause uncurable sync issues with Premiere. This is true of some cell phone camera footage. The use of third party video converters before throwing it into Premiere may help.

Thanks for the answers, I understand the problem now!
Do you have a good example of a codec whom Premiere would be able to work with? Using raw uncompressed video for this would not be possible, as recording my desktop for 30 minutes in raw would end up at 100 GB 🙁

Can’t se a way to edit my last post, so I’ll just make a new one –
A quick fix for anyone having the same problem in Premiere, use Windows moviemaker instead if the footage you edit within Premiere was in Xvid – works for some basic tutorial/games/whatever edits 🙂 You can probably export the movies through moviemaker in another format that Premiere can read without problems later.
