MP4 Video in Compressor has out of sync audio in Premiere?
Greetings,
Last week my MBP crashed so I decided it was time for a clean OSX install upgrade from Mavericks to El Capitan. With that jumping OSX upgrade I was finally able to update both FCPX and Compressor with no problems. My workflow for formatting movies from FCPX has always been to export a MasterFile(AppleProRes422.mov) and then drop that into Compressor to spit out a High-Res 1080p29.97 MP4 Movie. From there it is uploaded to my work server and used by a coworker to create promo trailers with. He uses Adobe Premiere to edit the mp4s into promo content and has never had an out-sync audio issue with them until I upgraded to Compressor 4.2.1.
Every Mp4 Video that is now created on Compressor 4.2.1 has an out-of-sync audio problem when imported into Premiere. After hours of testing different mp4 settings and other various import/export prefs in both Compressor and Premiere with no result I decided to try the same process on a backup Compressor 4.1.3 version. Using the same MP4 droplet I created another MP4 but this time the audio was in sync when imported into Premiere for both of us? strange yes I know! I also tested wmv's and mov's during this process but the new MP4 was the only one with a audio sync problem.
Can any one share some light as to why the Compressor 4.1.3 can make audio-synced MP4 movies that import correctly to Premiere and Compressor 4.2.1 cannot? Was the compressor structure that significantly upgraded and now there is a new method to make mp4 h.264 movies files that import into Premiere with audio synced up correctly?
Any help, ideas or thoughts so I can use the new and seemed very speedy Compressor 4.2.1 would be very much appreciated 🙂
Thank you!
