  • Yosemite Issue – Audio suddenly drifting

    Posted by Sean Bradley on October 17, 2014 at 7:44 pm

    My job neccessitates I edit a lot of Skype interviews and video obtained from all kinds of weird frame rates and cameras. Premiere Pro has always played nicely with them… until Yosemite.

    I did a clean wipe of my computer before installation, so… starting from scratch with nothing but the Yosemite OS and a fresh download of Premiere Pro, I opened an existing project from an external drive.

    Then my nightmare happened. The audio in the timeline is as it should be. The video is very much out of sync. Clicking into the clips in my source monitor, I can see the video drifting out of sync over the course of the video. I’ve played with the “Interpret Footage” setting on individual clips, but am not having luck getting it back where it belongs. I even tried creating a new project and re-importing clips. Still out of sync in the source monitor. Before I even drop them on a timeline.

    These are clips that play, in sync, in QuickTime, VLC, etc. And, again, these are clips that played in Premiere YESTERDAY, under the Mavericks OS.

    Any advice? If this is an issue of the clip having a Variable Frame Rate, my question is: why is Premiere in Yosemite treating the clips differently than Premiere in Mavericks?

    Clip properties below (I know it’s a funky clip, but I work with these clips almost daily and have never had an issue until now).

    I am actually having this same problem and I am still on Mavricks, I avoided the update for the OS but not the PP CC update. Any luck on this? I have the exact same thing where the footage looks and plays nice in other software but in premiere the audio drifts.

    Any ideas very welcomed!
