Audio Video Sync Issue In Premiere Pro CS5

[Peter Rush]

Cheers Eric - I'll give Project-X a go!

Eric's post is very interesting, I never knew that. I'm thinking perhaps this is a good reason for the convention of recording 15 sec of bars and tone at the start of every new tape...have always done this and I've never experienced the audio problem you describe. YMMV.

Well Project-X worked fine but... In order to bring it back in synch it loses frames for every time it has to re-synch - I have 3 cameras on the go for wedding ceremonies and speeches - plus multiple audio recorders - so I still have to synch up for every time the footage has been corrected

I always use new or nearly new tapes - there's nothing wrong with my heads - it seems totally random - I tend to capture 30 - 60 minutes of video and sometimes it's fine, sometimes it loses synch multiple times

It's a nightmare as it's costing me so much time - why the cheap or free apps can do it when my very expensive 'professional' program cannot is beyond me - with so many people complaining about it why can't Adobe fix it?

So much for listening to customers (yes I have logged it with Adobe)

Are you talking about one camera losing sync with the other camera, or with the audio losing sync with the video. If the latter, try capturing with HDVSplit, run the files through Project-X and then import the resulting files into Premiere.
