BUG: iMovie '09, Audio Sync Problem on Export
Found a bug in iMovie the other day. Edited a nice little 30 minute home movie of my Jamaica trip. I then exported it using the standard iMovie exports, and found that towards the end of the movie the audio was out of sync by about 3 seconds.
Everything in the movie was fine until it got to a short 10 second timelapse sequence that I made in Final Cut Express 4. I had made the clip without audio and didn't put any sound over it inside iMovie either. It was originally around 7 seconds long and played a little fast. So, I told iMovie to play it at 75% speed.
Everything played fine inside iMovie. However, stretching it out caused all remaining audio to be about 3 seconds fast in the exported video files. I didn't check any export formats other than Large, but it seems like it would occur in all of them.
So for now, I changed its playback speed to %100 and everything works fine.
