Sound out of sync after iMovie '11 upgrade

There is nothing in the sound modification that may cause loss of sync.

O.K. Knowing nothing about what goes on behind the scenes, I just saw sound change and sound problems and figured they might be related.

I should have added: and the fact that synchronization problems did not begin with the 9.01 update, but began with the very first release of iMovie '11 (9.0). So it would seem (to me) that the problem cannot be laid completely on what happened in the making of the update. Unless it is a coincidence that both versions have synchronization problems. I wish I could check to see if iMovie '09 had synchronization problems (of the lesser sort found in version 9.0 (of iMovie '11)). It sure is confusing to have iMovie '11 also be called iMovie version 9.

So it seems that this issue is restricted to imports of DV?
I have no problem with my media:
Sanyo HD1000
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264
Recorded at 720p
H.264, AAC
SD card

Are you saying that you have no sound synchronization problems using the updated version of iMovie '11 (9.01)--or the original version (9.0)?

That's correct, I have no sound synchronization issues.
Worked with 9.0 and now works with 9.0.1

I have no sound synchronization issues. Worked with 9.0 and now works with 9.0.1

And all the people who have been complaining have been working with DV files? And all the people who have not been complaining use other sorts of files (media)?

That would seem to be the case however not many are saying, even though they have been asked, what sort of media they are using so it's inconclusive at this stage.

It's possible that some of them don't know what is meant by 'media' in this case. I will start a thread that asks the question.

I will start a thread that asks the question.

Before I ask the question, could somebody please tell me what the alternatives to the DV medium are? What are the other species of the genus that includes DV? I want to make sure people know what I'm referring to.

Yes, I have used feedback. I hope it gets noticed.

9.0.2 was just released and it fixes my sync issues, anyone else try?

I also just upgraded to 9.0.2. and it solved my synch issues. Thank you Apple!!!!! I was also having problems with video in my event window speeding up unexpectedly for no apparent reason and this is also no longer occurring.

Very fine work on this upgrade 9.0.2!!!

hi, I have a 45 minute home movie that didn't show any problems while editing, but now that I spent 6 hours exporting it to HD 720 (to use with iDVD), the audio is completely bugged out. Some clips skip to the end of the their audio, and then play in silence. Some music starts or stops at random times. Some audio cuts out before the end of the clip... it's absolutely insane. I'm on the verge of selling all of my Apple stock, throwing this thing in the trash and buying a nice Windows computer like my grandparents have. Please, someone talk me down... or send me the heads of whatever idiots released iMovie '11 without seeing if it worked or not.

I'm reading about this 9.0.2 update, but my iMovie isn't finding it when I "Check for Updates"... where else can I get it??

Have you renamed the application or moved it from the top layer of the Applications folder? What is the exact application version you're using?

Fortunately there's no one from Apple here. If I worked for Apple and was one of the people you called an idiot, I'd be disinclined to offer you any help.

Here is what 9.0.2 seems to done: it has removed the problem that was caused by 9.0.1, but has left intact the problem that existed in 9.0. The smaller (but still serious) problem of 9.0 will not be noticeable to people who do not have very long event-clips. By "long", I mean, say, 2 hours. Even then, it will only be noticeable in those scenes where the connection between the cause of the sounds and the sounds themselves is clear, e.g., a close-up of someone speaking.
