Hi there,
I've been trying to do a sound mix in Audition CC and have been sent a video reference (h.264/AAC). I noticed the audio going out of sync with the video and so checked the file in a few players (PotPlayer, VLC, Quicktime). I found video was also lagging behind the audio with all these players so I was about to contact the person who sent me the clip but decided to do one more test. Weirdly, in Window Media Player the video stays in sync all the way through!
I understand this means that my problem's more to do with my system than Audition, but I find this problem occurs sometimes in Premiere with other source clips too and instead of tweaking it to work temporarily as usual I really want to get to the bottom of it.
I tried using AME to encode to different codecs and have tried uncompressed video and audio. This makes no difference, and I imagine that's because all my Adobe software is using a dodgy codec to read the video, could this be the case?
Has anyone else had an issue like this? And why is Windows Media Player suddenly the only thing immune to this problem?
Here's the mediainfo for the clip in question, thanks for any help!
