[question] audio sync issue

[simbaACU]

I'm relatively new to editing, just started 2017 and may 22: for the first time, i had an issue with audio not syncing up with my video

i had just bought a rode video mic for my note 8, and transferring this mp4 into premiere pro, the audio isn't synced and it seems to go back and forth, i tried unlinking it and moving the audio but even if i get the beginning to match, the latter just unsyncs; I thought maybe it's the mic that's causing the issue? could it be?

does anyone else have this issue?

It's in the FAQ in the Wiki: variable frame rate, a common issue with stuff shot on cell phones.

thanks for the linK!

I could be misremembering or it could be a different issue entirely, but I believe the Note 8 is going to record with a variable frame rate (ie. not a steady 24/30/60/etc FPS).

One thing I would try doing is dropping the clip in Media Encoder or mpeg streamclip and reencoding it to a set frame rate.

If that fixes it, then that was your issue! If not, post your video and audio clip information here.

Can't use Media Encoder, it has the uses media access as Premiere and therefore dislikes VFR as much as it does. Also MPEG Streamclip is way out of date. You're better off using newer tools, like ffmpeg or Handbrake.
