Yes. Another audio sync problem!

I have a project which features an audio track with still images added in time to the beat of the music (about one image every 1 second). When I preview the video from within Premier (CS3) everything is perfect. My image changes match up with the beat as I want. However, when I export the video (I mostly export as a Quicktime file), the audio no longer syncs up with the video. The difference is only a split second, perhaps 2 or 3 frames (through the entire 2 minutes) but quite noticeable, because you’re looking at the image changes on each music beat.

Following some advice I have seen here, I ensured the bit rate of my audio matches up with my project settings (48,000Hz in both cases) and also the audio is a WAV file, as opposed to a compressed format such as MP3.

I can match up the audio by deliberately moving it out of sync within Premier and then the resultant “bad” export plays right, but it’s not exactly a perfect way to do things!
