Hi Anders,

I know it’s quite a while since you posted this, but I’ve only started using this effect. I noticed the same issue, that the clip always stays the same length on the timeline no matter how much you speed up and slow down. Also, it only seems to take into account the clip’s length on the timeline not the clip’s in and out points, so for example if you have a 10 seconds of a clip on the timeline where the master is 20 seconds long, and you slow it to 50%, the length on the timeline will be the same, but it will cut out of the clip sooner.

This causes problems like you describe when it gets to the end of the clip, it does funny things when it tries to look at out points. The workaround that I found for this was to put the clip on another sequence, then drag this sequence into the master sequence and apply the effect on the master timeline.

Hope this helps, although you’ve probably solved it by now…..

Thanks Angelo, I’m pretty sure it’s not the frame rate, as we work exclusively with PAL DV at the moment, so every sequence we create is 25fps. All of the material comes from dvcam tape.

I’ve tried rendering everything, including the audio. The workaround I found through a lot of trial and error was to leave a few extra frames on the end of the voice, so that it now includes the first sound of the interviewee’s next line, so ‘ideal product for our needs an….’ so although now it sounds completely wrong on the timeline, it sounds fine on the outputted file.

I’m not even sure if out of sync is the correct way to describe this problem, as lip sync etc is all seemingly ok, and the cuts that were on the beat on the timeline come out so in the final output, but it’s the out points of certain audio clips that seem to be coming out incorrectly.

Another side effect of this is when you cut the music track to change the volume level of a section and cross fade between the two, even though it’s the EXACT same piece of music with no edits made to it apart from the volume, it still sounds like it skips half a beat when it hits the cut. Again this only happens on the outputted file, whether it is wav, avi, flv, whatever, and the timeline in Premiere always sounds as it should, before and after rendering.

Thanks,

Kev

I’ve tried with Quicktime and VLC. I’ve also tried outputting to a wav file and then replacing the audio tracks with it, but it still happens. Strangley it seems to only be the sync on the out points of certain audio clips, rather than the whole film.
