Capturing HDV footage
Do NOT capture footage in Premiere! If there are any frame dropouts (and believe me, they happen) then the rest of the audio can go out of sync with the video. You should capture your footage with OnLocation instead; if a frame drop appears, OnLocation starts a new file and Premiere stays happy.
There are insanely rare occasions where audio sync is lost and OnLocation doesn't pick up on it. If this happens, or you have sync issues with footage you've already captured, try TsRemux:
- Find the time in the file where the sync issues begin (or even better, the start of the section of footage you want to use)
- Open the corresponding .m2t file in TsRemux (click the upper Browse button at the top of the window)
- In the large white box you should see two MPEG2 streams (they're the audio and video of your footage). Make sure both these boxes are checked.
- Uncheck Bypass audio alignment and ensure the Output Format is set to TS.
- Fill in the Trim beginning boxes with the timecode you found earlier. (You can also trim from the end if you want, but bear in mind that the time to enter is relative to the clip length.)
- Choose an output file (the lower Browse button at the top)
- Press Remux
Your footage should now be in sync; you can check this by importing the output file back into Premiere. You might need to do this multiple times if you have multiple sync losses.
