You sir, are a great man

I’ve got exactly the same problem

To check it I’ve exported the cam to afx, brought it back into C4D and compared it to the original – seems to be the rotation is ever so slightly different which puts things ever so slightly out of sync

No solution as yet – let me know if you find anything, it’s rather important these line up!

Okay – after a bit more of a chat with Miraizon they said it was a very unusual problem but suggested there could be a possible conflict with AJA or BlackMagic. I have neither of these but it did remind me that I have Raylight Decoder (purchased for a specific project a long time back).

Uninstalling that has resolved the problem on Premiere CC but interestingly enough, not in CS6… however, I can definitely just live with CC so consider this problem solved.

Thanks for all your help and hope this provides some aid for others…

I had Quicktime 7.7.5 – I’ve uninstalled it and reinstalled it from the website, no joy. Then uninstalled and reinstalled Miraizon as well, still no joy unfortunately.

Thanks for the response Eric – I’ve got both CS6 and CC installed and it’s happening on both versions exactly the same. Any help solving it would be gratefully received!

I bought the Miraizon codec a week or so ago and was over the moon to find myself able to export directly to ProRes from After Effects – most clients want delivery on that format which has generally meant dragging everything over to a Mac for a final conversion.

However, I’ve since found that Premiere won’t work with Quicktime at all when Miraizon Prores is installed – I can’t import anything with a .mov wrapper (generic error) and I can’t play any Quicktime files already imported into a project (media not found).

As soon as I uninstall the codec this problem is solved and Premiere works as normal. Having the codec installed has no negative effect on After Effects, only Premiere and means I’m constantly installing and uninstalling it every time I want to use Premiere!

Not getting much response from Miraizon but they say there are other reports of this from users – does anyone else have this problem and by chance any solution? If we could turn off the Miraizon codec for reading Quicktimes and only have it for authoring, I think this would solve it but I can’t figure out a way to do that…

Excellent bit of software with a major flaw for me…

Thanks Dave but none of these apply to me – I’m an animator so most of my projects don’t have footage in them. And I’m always very careful to work with uncompressed audio rather than mp3s or any such type…

And I’m always very careful about exporting uncompressed from AE and compressing it in Quicktime for the multi-passing so not an issue there either…

’tis a mystery…

Thanks Mitch but I’m afraid it’s not a slow Ram Preview problem. Visuals are playing fine and no lowered frame rate, just an audio that’s a dozen or so frames behind the visuals…!

The problem rumbles on…

I realise this is a rather old post but it seems to be a persistent problem that no-one has an adequate solution to.

I’ve struggled with this in the past and it’s cropped up in another project today. My assumption is that it’s the Quicktime player not adequately syncing the audio with the visuals, rather than a problem with AE or the file itself

The fact that if I re-import the file into AE and check the waveform against the video it all lines up correctly and plays back fine through ram preview seems to verify this.

So I’m hoping that this is a local issue on the Quicktime player on my PC and that it will play back fine for my Mac based clients. However I can’t be sure of this and would still ideally like to be able to view my work on the Quicktime player…

There are a whole load of audio settings in Quicktime preferences but I haven’t had any joy fiddling with these. Anyone any ideas??
