Canon XH A1 - Premiere 2 - Audio capture sync
Hey guys,
basically i am capturing 1080i video into premiere 2.0. But the audio is coming up out of sync from the capture. I just unlink the clips and sync it by eye....but that is getting to be a pain in the you know what. Anyone else experience this problem or know what is up? thanks in advance. |

Moved to the Premiere forum from HD/HDV Acquisition.
It MAY be that the capture is actually fine, and that there are latency issues upon playback through PPro. Try exporting a short piece from near the end of an unedited clip to DVD or a low-rez format and see if the audio is out of synch on the exported file when played back on a DVD player or on another computer. If not, then it is internal computer / PPro latency. If it truly is out of synch, then I'm not sure...what are your system specs, especially the audio subsystem?

I've got my fingers crossed with HDVSplit now that I've got the XH-A1. Haven't used it yet. Will this weekend. Hope, Hope, Hope... |

I have seen this issue on footage captured AFTER experiencing a "dropout" during capture.
That is.. I am capturing HDV footage.. I notice a "dropout", and then if I just keep capturing the footage after the dropout is out of the sync. If I recapture the footage everything is fine. I put dropout in quotes because it's not really a drop out in the sense that the data is on the tape and when I try the capture again the missing footage is there. I've posted questions about this in other forums but so far no one seems to know what is going on. It's only happened to me a few times so I'm not worried. |

My (limited) experience with HDV in PPRO is that you need a monster computer... just to run PPRO, forget doing anything else. You're much better off using HDVSplit, and close all other programs while doing the capture. Then import your clips and all is well.

I have had this computer for just over a year. It is a Pentium 4 running 3.4GHZ. 2GB DDR2 667 RAM, RAID 0 disks for the system and another RAID 0 for the data. The performance is pretty good. I've edited a ton of SD video on this machine without any problems. It runs Premiere just fine in my opinion. The only thing I notice now is rendering takes a lot longer for HDV footage than it did with the SD footage. I have monited CPU and DISK utilization during SD and HDV captures and they don't really look all that different. Premiere does not show the HDV footage as it is being captured so that probably is to make sure all resources go to capturing the data to disk. |

Nonetheless I think I'm hijacking this thread. I was trying to offer an possible explanation for the audio being out of sync as I have had a similar experience recently. |

OK, I used it. HDVSplit works fine for me. But then all I want to do is capture not split.
I have always had a problem with Premiere capture and audio sync. Scenalyzer, now HDVSplit, solved my problem. I have a pretty low-level laptop for capturing and didn't want to have to load Premiere. HDVSplit takes up very little space/ram, works fine, and the captured files drop into Premiere on my desktop with no sync problems. |
