Hello,

I'm running a trial version of PD10. I like the program, but I had trouble with the audio getting out of sync when I went from the editor to the production of a mp4 movie. Everything looks fine in the editor, but in the finished movie the sound seems to be playing faster or something. The audio finishes well ahead of the video getting more and more out of sync during the movie.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it a problem with the program?

Grateful for any help!

HI,
Please can you give some more information?

1. See Part B: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/7958.page A diagnostic file please.
2. See Part E & F: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/7958.page

We need to see your selections in Edit Workspace, showing content and additions to the track.
In produce we need to see and be told what your selections are - output choices.
3. Please state where the source material is from and provide a 5 to 10 second sample.

Members can then look closely at what you're up against and maybe resolve the matter for you.

Thank you for your answer. Was just wondering if it was a common problem...

The video is from a GoPro, H.264 AVC, mp4. Framerate 59.94 frames/s - maybe a problem here? Format is PAL.
The audio track is a mp3 file.

I'll try to post more information later if there isn't an easy fix.

Suggestion: Change your set up to NTSC and then re-test.

Yes - tried that too, but there was no difference.

I have posted in this forum about a similar "audio slippage". I sent my technical stuff into Cyberlink (at Dafydd's urging), but have yet to hear back.

I think they have a definite issue in this area for the PD10 release. Something changed in this processing arena, and we need to keep pressing them to address the problem. I do music videos, and I have relied in the past on using the drummer's sync mark (like the way they used to use a clapboard for movie takes) to synchronize 3-4 camera clips. This PD10 slippage makes that impossible now.

Hope we hear something soon. Chuck Puckett
