Hi Gerald...
I used this fix to correct an issue I had with a 54 music show. Ran a 3-camera shoot thru a studio grade video switcher/mixer, that also got a messy two track ( in sync). I also recorded the session on a 12-track audio recorder. I found that my mixed down multi track ( and raw) ended up just shy of 2 sec short over that 54 min. So problem solved... but wtf is happening to make them not sync. I am recording the audio at 16bit/48Hz, which is the same standard the video system uses... so where is the timing difference coming in. One of the other people in this org was in broadcast for decades,, symphony recording etc... said he had never seen this issue in his entire career.... thanks for your introspection
Yeah, sure, that works. But how about if you DO edit your video in time to audio by cutting, moving around etc, MAKE it in time, export it. Then when you upload to youtube it's out of sync on SOME devices and not all?
I uploaded unlisted the other day and everything seems fine on my devices, but I checked a friends phone and the video-audio was out of sync..
When you find one of your go-to UA-camrs has a 3 year old video that saves the day once again! Thanks for the years of assistance Gerald!
You just saved my life omg. I've been spending HOURS cutting and dragging manually to fix this. Didn't even think to try the stretch tool 🤦🏽
You just saved me about 5 accumulative years of my life
I WISH I knew this before some hellish editing sessions
Thank you so much!!
I have been struggling with this (wasting hours of time) for over two weeks. This video has literally saved the majority of my weekend. THANK YOU.
Without a doubt, your tip has cut **hours** out of my workload each week! Absolutely incredible post tip. One the best Premiere tips ever
Couple Notes:
Right click your timeline timecode/playhead area, Show Audio Time units - then you can align same as in Audition, and probably just use the Rate Stretch tool (R key?) to conform as needed, too. Save the Audition export steps.
Right clicking your audio and video in the bins and hitting "Merge Clips" and then based on waveforms, append tracks, delete original audio -- with claps and no drift has never not worked for me.
If you're getting audio drift just recording in Audition with nothing intensive going on on your PC, I definitely recommend digging into your frequency settings or something, that's really not normal at all other than when your CPU is under intense load causing your audio driver to stall out.
I really don't think that "Audio Time Units" works as well as Audition. It's still clunky and sticks to frames. Audition is buttery.
The Rate Stretch Tool is a good stopgap, but it's definitely clumsier than the stretching in Audition. Audition allows more decimal places too.
Merge Clips is effective with shorter clips, but it uses the standard sync method and that doesn't change rates for fixing drift.
The reason why this happens has little to do with load in my case (because it happens on external recorders as well) and everything to do with relying on frame markers instead of using a properly synced time code. It's always out of sync by about .001%, which is the same as the difference between 30 and 29.97 or 24 and 23.976, etc. And in Premiere you can't choose the correct percentage of correction down to the exact decimal place like you can in Audition.
I think everyone suffers from the drift if not using time codes, but it's possible they don't notice because we're only talking about a frame of drift every 10 minutes or so. Once you get into 1-2 hour recordings though, it becomes pretty noticeable in my opinion, but it's still only about 1/2 second out, and might go undetected.
Edit: Audio Time Units + Rate Stretch Tool is a lot better than using neither of those things in Premiere. I don't mean to discount your tip completely. It is a significantly smoother vs not using it. I still like Audition better though. The tools and layout have audio in mind, so I find it faster. But good tip.
Well, that did the trick for me. My camera doesn't have an internal mic, I know right, so I had to sync the drift on two claps one in front and one in the end. Since I couldn't match the internal audio to the external audio I needed the video as a reference to properly sync the audio.
Sorry, All I meant to say is, thanks for this tip ;)
This did the trick, not 100% perfect but close enough to be unnoticeable.
That works too... and even easier. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this video! I've been agonising for months over whether my issues were in Traktor, my camera, or something I was doing wrong. Now syncing my dj mixes with video perfectly. I've adapted your technique to use with Resolve and Audacity. Just takes a little more work to stretch the audio. 👍👏
I was done with my life, then i watched your channel on Camera Conspiracies video and now you undone my life. Thanks
FYI This can be done in Premiere too using the rate stretch tool. Thanks for this, Gerald- super duper helpful!!
This video SAVED me! Can't Thank you enough for making this. Huge help! Subscribed and supporting from here on out!
Thanks for the great tips on the audio sync. This reminds me I need to get back in the studio to undo some music.
Dude, your videos are incredible, and your "what is happening?" intro always cracks me up. This explanation of sync drift is concise but also incredibly intuitive. I've worked with Audition and music production and DJ software quite a bit so I'm used to these concepts, but your explanation of why you need to keep the original scratch audio track conveyed a difficult concept in a very small number of words. Always look forward to your videos! Now please do a comparison of HLG vs F-Log on the Fuji XT-3 and tell me which one to use and how to expose for it using the NINJA V, when I have a dynamic light source in the background :)
Thanks! I'm really glad to hear that. Really appreciate this comment. And thanks for the suggestion too. Cheers! 😃🙏
This is why I love youtube. Just fixed my audio drift with your help. Thanks man!
Awesome! Glad to hear it. Thanks for saying so.
You saved me about 3 hours of editing. Got it done in like 10 seconds. I love you!
You can do sub frame positioning of audio in premiere if you right-click the timecode ruler above the timeline and select show audio time units. Then you can adjust audio by individual samples instead of by frame. This way you can line up your claps perfectly between camera audio and external sound.
Dude you just saved my life. Holy smokes. I've been searching for ages for a solution to this. THANK YOU.
Awesome! Glad to hear it. Thanks, Troy!
thank you so much! this tutorial helped us fix an audio sync bug we had been working at for an hour in premiere - life-saver!!
You can do this all in premiere.
First, sync up your clips in the timeline the best you can, then right click anywhere in the time section of the timeline and choose "Show Audio Time Units" this will allow you to zoom in way closer and even see individual sine curves of the audio. From here you can further sync it as accurately as Adobe audition.
Next I would cut the start of both clips where the claps start
Then scroll to the end and cut the end of the audio on both clips at a known audio break. (If you have audio drift they should be different lengths)
Then right click your video track and choose speed/duration.
Copy the length of the video in minutes:frames and cancel out
Choose your Audio clip that is trimmed, right click, select "speed/duration" and paste the length timecode that you copied from the video. Be sure to click maintain pitch checkbox as well.
You should now have synced audio.
Alternatively you can go to your toolbar at the top, click and hold the ripple edit tool and select "rate stretch" from the drop down. You can now stretch the audio clip to accurately sync to the video.
Please note, you should take your timeline out of "Show Audio Time Units" after you are complete, otherwise cutting, zooming, and scrolling through your timeline will be much harder
This is a concisely written guide for Premiere. Thank for doing this. I use the rate stretch tool version of this, because I'm used to it and fast at it, but I'll give the speed/duration method a try to mix it up next video. And yeah, always re-disable audio time units or cutting is a mess. They often won't even line up.
@@geraldundone Keep up the awesome videos. I watch all of them and send most of them to my co-workers.
I know that comment is really old but it has just helped me so much! Thank you for that!
Thank you for years I needed this
Best easy use premiere audio fix here. Thank you random internet guy
Thank you! This is a burning issue, now I finally know what to do. Happy new year! 😀
You know when you watch a video and the person explains exactly what’s going wrong with your project and how to solve it?! That just happened, thank you so much 🤙
That's very useful, cheers.. By the way, synching in Premiere gets more accurate if you go the little dropdown at the top right of the sequence window and select "show audio time units". You will then be able to drag the audio by much smaller increments without it snapping to the next frame. Switching it back afterward is better for editing your video.
Thanks for your work, I have a teeny weeny gaming channel, but have recently decided to use it to really learn about editing (I don't have a camera), I've swapped from Camtasia to Vegas Pro and Davinci Resolve but even though you're an Adobe guy, your stuff is really helpful and inspiring so keep it coming
Thanks for this video!! This is what my life has been missing! My videos are usually long and the drift gets crazy! I can't wait to try this out!
This is an awesome tip!! I can't wait to use this on my next project! Happy New Year!
I was literally like 😱😲🤭when you stretched it! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have done WAY to much manual un-drift-ifying!
So it's actually, actually those youtubers' fault when A/V go out of sync, I've been thinking for a while to upgrade my GPU just because of this. Thank you Gerald.
This may or may not be a f'ing lifesaver, my man. No joke, this is like actual job saving- if it solves the problem I'm currently having, that is. I'll get back to you in a bit.
Life saver for my long recordings-thank you so much!
wow thank you!! it solved my drifting audio issues Subbed! Keep creating great contents!
This saved me 6 hours of audio recording. Thank you so much!
Awesome information that I wouldn't have thought of! Great video sir!
Gerald, your presentation is excellent! Thank you!
Haha! Perfect intro. Love your channel. I learn so much about things I didn't even know I should know. Thank you for such quality videos. Happy new year and best wishes for 2019!
Thank you very much! Happy new year to you too! 😃👍
Exact same thing can be done inside premiere pro.
Use alt+arrow keys to move layer precisely.
And there is time stretch tool in premiere too.
But great video 👍👍👍
thank you man.I was looking for a solution to exactly this problem. Thanks to you I won't be dealing with 1 millisecond audio drifts
Great tutorial and very helpful as per usual👍
Gerald! Thank you! This was so helpful!
Awesome tip! With this helping you get your tracks _N-Sync_ you can say _"bye, bye, bye"_ to all those audio problems.
🙃
Oh jeez... Haha. 😜
Dude This Helped Me Fr Thank You So Much I was Getting Hella Frustrated 😁
Thank you so much for this. This is EXACTLY what I needed.
I recently just found your channel and ur on point with a lot of issues ive been tryin to fix. Thank you
Very informative and useful. Thank you!
WOW, this video addressed the exact situation I was facing down. My videographer gave me 4 video clips at 48000 Hz sample rate plus 3 audio clips at 44100 Hz (from a Lavalier mic) and the audio drift was noticeable, especially on the longer clips. I followed your video exactly and it worked perfectly (except for the time I forgot to mute the scratch track in Audition). You da man! I will use this in future situations. Thank you!
There is an even easier way, and it's 10x faster than this... you simply take the 44.1kHz and you load them on an audio editing software, and then you export those as 48kHz. They will be sample-accurate...
Thank you! I was pulling my hair out trying to fix this issue. You saved what's left of my sanity.
Incredible video. This has bene foxing me for so long! Thank you
Bro THANK YOU!!! You have NO IDEA how much time you just saved me!!! This is amazing.
I am going to try this later but i think you will save me a LOT of time with this.
Funny, I've never had this happen before. I've recorded 5-7 minute long segments with my GH5, using the Tascam DR-60D mk II recorder for external sound. I use a slate for syncing and the sound has always worked fine. But, if it ever does, I have this wonderful video to fix it. Thanks, Gerald.
Yeah, you won't notice it much at 5-7 minutes. When I say "long recordings" I mean like an hour or two. You'll drift by about .001%, so that will only be a portion of a frame at 5 minutes. Not noticeable.
Thanks for the kind words and sharing your experience! Cheers. 😃👍
Great Video!! Thanks I really appreciate your tips and info.
So damn helpful. I'm so glad to finally know WHY my ZOOM tracks were always drifting from my GoPro tracks, even if I synched them perfectly at the start of my 20-minute clips.
Man this video literally saved one of my podcast recordings. Bruh thanks for sharing ✌🏾
Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💚💚💚💚
You made me find what i was looking for in 7 years of lost
Thanks dear very thanks i even download your video and put it in my best videos folder in my phone to save it
Thank you dear again god bless you
Great advice! I knew it couldn't be entirely my drumming that was making longer songs so far off from the original track, lol :)
Thank you Gerald for sharing this trick, it works!
useful video thanks! I'm just starting my video journey and knew nothing about audition despite having access to it :D
Thank you, I had a terrible time trying to resolve this yesterday, I will give it a go
edit: I tried this and it actually worked! So happy I found a solution that worked. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for this episode. I use Audacity, and I don't know if it has the same tools at Audition, but you got me on the right track. Right now, I am doing the cutting up the audio track into pieces to sync. Not fun.
Whew I've never seen a single hair straying out that far parallel to the ground! HD that is ) Thanks man!
Hey! If you want no restrictions with the time with video frames, you have to click the 3 lines next to the sequence you are in, and choose "Show Audio Time Units", and you will have like in Audition all the audio to synch perfectly!
Super helpful. Thank you!
This is great! You can change the mode so you can move audio less than one frame though for future reference. Thanks for the fix!
2021 year... it's wasn't fixed... You is my master! Thanks!
wonderful tips! thank you
This is a great video and very useful in everyday work. Would you please consider making another video on "How you apply this in a Multicam Shoot and syncing audio and go into your workflow???" please
Solid video! Helped a ton... So GoPro breaks up videos clips. I've been nesting them to make them one clip can you take a nested clip into Audition. seems like I can not. Suggestions?
Very helpful video, thanks!
Thank you for posting this. Long gone are the days when I meticulously chopped up clips, hoping the mouth and audio sync didn't come out looking like an overdubbed 70's Kung Fu film.
OMG this is so efficient! Thanks Gerald!
awesome stuff! :) I don't do videos, but I gotta remember this if I ever do
Great topic and tutorial👍
This video is very helpful, unfortunately I always forget how to do this so I've rewatched it probably 100 times now
Thanks, Super helpful!
Thanks Gerald, you saved us time ♥️
Nice one!! I wonder if you have any suggestion for audio drift from a waaaaaaay older device.... meaning my scratch track IS what's drifted in an hour long interview. It was originally recorded onto DV tape and I'm not sure where it starts to drift. I'll give Audition a try... makes sense. Happy New Year!
Thank you soooooo much this has helped me a lot. Thank you
extremely helpful, thanks
Love the hair!!! Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to keep this in mind. I do have this issue.
Thanks, mate. Nice to hear from ya! 😃👍
Another great video 👍🏻 All the best for 2019!
Bro imma try this when im back home , this thing was making me crazy over this week
Great work as usual!
life saver! Gonna sub just for that!
You saved hours of my life! THANKS!!! 🤩🤩🙏🏼🤩🤩
Man this was an awesome tip...of course it made me upgrade from iMovie to PP...but I got what I needed done because of this video. Any suggestions on good tutorials or a course for PP?
I would love for ever if you show us what rig you used to record this audio and how you edited this audio. I saved this video, shared with many people as the best audio quality video I ever seen. Could you share how can we make our audio quality sound at least close to yours ? Thanks
This is awesome. Thank you
Great solution, Gerald. I was wondering why this happens in the first place if my in-camera audio and my external audio are both at the same sample rate. Can internal clocks really be that different?
Thank you. This seriously helped me in the 11th hour
YOU SAVED MY JOB AND PROBABLY IM GONNA GET RAISED. THANK YOU KIND SIR I LOVE YOU
My pleasure! Thanks for letting me know.
You saved me so much time. Thank you VERY MUCH !
Hey Gerald, Is there any explanation for why this happens? I find this happens often with professionally recorded audio done in ProTools and am worried that modifying the speed of the clip in audition might alter the pitch of the music. I am currently editing 20 minute live sessions and the audio end up being faster by about 5/6 frames by the end. Is it actually down to how to audio is processed and exported?
Thanks for all your videos in 2018. Have a happy new.
You too! 😃🙏
Great tip! You can also retime audio by small fraction like 0.1% in premiere. Not perfect but it works
Crazy video! This may have saved my life! Quick question tho, I have a Multicam timeline shot with 3 cameras, all sync with timecode shot at 24 (out of mixpre3ii). One of my cameras was shooting at 23.976 (i know rookie mistake) what would be the best way to match the audio to this? Do i have to restamp the timecode? How can I get the camera to match with the others audio?
Very helpful tip. Thank you.
Thank you, Gerald.
Yes, love Audition. I grew up using it with a community radio station back when it was "Cool Edit Pro", then purchased my own Audition v1.5 lol
The radio station I work at today still swears by Cool Edit Pro as their audio software of choice. I didn't realize Audition came from Cool Edit Pro until recently, and that was when I realized how out of date the software they use at most radio station's is.
Thanks bro! It worked!
Hey, loving your videos! New subscriber!! For multi cam do i approach it the same way? Export all cams and audio to audition align them into sync. Once done, mute both cameras audios, export the file, and them imported into premier? Can i edit the angles after syncing all audios from audition? Let me know please and thank you!!!
THAAAAANK YOUUUUUUU saved me so much time. whew!
