Audio Out Of Sync When Titles or Lower Thirds Added

Audio and video are in sync until I add a Title or a Lower Third and then audio is out of sync with the video and as soon as the video passes where the Title/Lower Third ends, video is right back into sync again. Any suggestions?

Final Cut Pro issue with audio Sync! Help please. Hello everyone, I have an issue with audio sync in Final Cut Pro. Our editor works on Windows, Premier and send us the videos in mp4 format, 23.98 fsp, 48kHz stereo. But when I try to import these videos in Final Cut with the same project settings as the video, the sound is shifted back by 1.5 milliseconds, so it remains empty audio at the end of the video (see attached screenshot). This creates a problem with different scenes with sharp sounds (the audio of upcoming clip is heard at the end of the previous clip. The editor claims that he is not seeing this issue. I attach an image of the end of a video, so you can notice it's empty. Thank you!

FCP audio dropouts during playback Hello, I am new to FCP/video editing but this audio dropping out is really annoying. When I play the video in finder, all the audio is fine. But when I import the video file onto the FCP timeline, there are parts on the video that the audio is dropped out. This issue worsens the more times you replay it. I recorded the footage on an old sony handycam so unsure whether the initial FCP project settings play a role in this however I have set it to automatic setting based on first clip. If you can help me figure this out, that would be awesone.

Sync audio clips . . . where has video clip's audio gone? I have tried something I have not done since 2012 and things have changed! I shot some normal video and also used an external recording device so I ended up with the camera audio and the recorder's audio. Then I selected both clips in the browser, control clicked and selected "Synchronize Clips" from the dropdown menu which created a new clip with the audio of both synchronised. This clip was then dropped into the timeline and I right clicked it to select "Expand Audio Components". Back in 2012 that would have separated the external audio from the original video clip leaving the original clip with its own audio displayed. However, in 2025 there is no sign of the video clip's audio. Have I done something wrong or is that the way it now works? Incidentally the video with the new audio is fine but I am curious as to why the ideo clip's audio is no longer visible. Audio Sync 2012 Audio Sync 2025

Perhaps your machine is too slow to play back in real time. What if you render the title? Select the title, then choose Modify > Render Selection (or press Control-R).

Please give complete details. What are the OS and FCP versions? What are the media specs? What are the project properties? Is the audio part of the video, or is it separate audio? Are the clips synced in FCP? Post a screenshot of the timeline where the problem occurs.

Exactly which titles are you using and who made them if they're not Apple's?
