Thanks Dave, I’ll give it a try and see if it marries up – cool, hehe, it is a wedding video after all! 😉

‘Do yourself a favor: DO NOT USE MP3 FILES! Convert them to the non-compressed audio file type of your choice.’

Hi Dave and thank you for your response. I did (in the end) what lots of others suggested and had to drag the track 4 frames! If the file begins life as an MP3, what is best to convert it to? Is it best to do that from Soundbooth?

I have finished it now and I am really pleased with the end result so LOVING Premiere pro and After Effects (I have CS3) but I DID run into other issues with exporting ‘some’ of the timelines thru Media Encoder AND as Export Movie with no compression (to re-export from QT) with the dreaded ‘Unknown Error exporting movie’ etc. It took me 2 days to find the problem (and tryting to count the frames to see where it was!) which I ‘think’ I eventually tracked to some footage the customer sent but more on that in another thread so’s not to complicate this one!

Looking forward to getting to know the community here. have been a member for quite a loong time now so it’s about time I got involved! What a great place. 🙂

Thanks for the help, appreciated.

Hi John,

I am having this QT soundtrack out of sync problem exporting as QT from Premiere CS3 too. I am making a wedding video for a couple, one disabled, and the cuts are a dance routine so the track HAS to be in sync. The track is an MP3 audio file and I wondered if you could tell me,what format do you save export from Premiere so you can then open in QT and re-export it from there as you seem to have fixed this issue?

I was also trying to follow Dave’s tip here:

Well, here’s what I do: never render audio in AE. Just render the video. The audio probably already exists in your editing application. Match video to audio in the editor, which should be a snap. Export from your editor. Compress in Adobe Media Encoder or some other compression application.

But wasn’t quite sure what he meant? I have Production Premium so have Premiere, After Effects, Sound Booth etc.

Any help will be MOST welcome because the wedding is Nov 1st in London and the video is going to be played at the reception, gulp! This is my very first proper job doing this for a client – even tho it’s still mates rate to get my work out there – so I am still learning (as we all are I guess!) as I go.

Thank you to anyone who can offer some assistance.

Cheers

Brian
