Adobe Premiere Pro problem

[Kapoutman]

I am trying to do some editing in Permiere, but when the video is too long, the end of the video isn't synchronized with the audio, so you get people speaking when it,s not the time, and lips flaping when no sound comes out. The delay is of about three seconds, but that delay also shows once I export the video. Anybody knows how I can synchronize the audio and video in that program?

Sadio, do you know anything about this?

i have the same problem, only thing is it happens with all audio.. what i do to get around it is use sound recorder to record a copy of the audio and then convert to mp3 and use it instead of the audio with the clip, it's a long stupid useles process so if anyone could help i'd appreciate it as well.

when your importing the video file, is it a mpg or avi file? Like whats the file extension? Any compressors used in the video at all?

It does it with every format I tried. MPG, AVI, WMV...

Its mainly to do with the frame rate differences.
if your opening a NTSC clip and saving it as PAL, the audio will go out of sync because your going from 29fps to 25fps or vice versa.
find out what the frame rate is to start with and keep it the same on your output file.

Yep listen to Credo. Also check out what your preview settings are at. M best advice is to load incompressed avi's into premiere as they are the best/easiest file format to edit!

Thank you guys, I'm gonna try that today and give some feedback.

I just tried that, and the video is still out of synch, even in the monitor before I save the file. :-\

What i can suggest is this since i am using premiere 6.5. From my experience the best results I find are using uncompressed avi files( since premiere doesn't really work well with mpg files). Now usually what I do is when i edit my video and everything i press enter so it can "render a preview of the video" which basically gives you a preview of the video and whatnot incorporating any changes you made( effects, cutting, audio efffect, etc). Now i know premiere has a "real-time" preview but i prefer to use the old-school render preview( non-real time preview). When you apply changes to ur video and whatnot do you do a real-time preview or the old method of previewing ( fully render the video with the new changes)?

I just press play in the monitor at the top right. Is that what you are tyalking about?

hhhmmm i wish i had premiere on my computer right now but basically here's what I do and I never get any problems with previewing/exporting video file. If I remember there are 2 types of editing modes: Single Track and A/B editing. I use the single track editing mode ( so that when i am editing there are 2 monitors at the top, timeline at the bottom and whatnot). Basically the first monitor is used to edit the clips and whatnot, and the monitor on the right hand side is used to play clips that you have dragged onto the timelime. Usually when I have to preview files it won't preview right away, like it has to render the video file first ( rendering any new effects or stuff like that, that i put into the timelime) and then it will play after I render.

I reckon you should check out the premiere website/help guides to see if someone else has similar problems. Worst case secenario is you would have to use a different video editing program if this problem continues.
