Title: Audio Sync Test
Post by: barrister on Jun 22, 2012 at 09:30 AM
There are calibration discs available for purchase that include lipsync tests, but I prefer to use the free ones.

Here's one I found --- The BBC Audio Sync Test

_HD__BBC_Audio_sync_test.rar (115.42 MB)

From rapidshare:

The are 2 video files (rar compressed) of the same 1 min. 30 sec. video, one in MKV format and another in TS format.  Use it on your media player.

Here's how it looks like:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCPEidaVzQU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCPEidaVzQU)

There are 3 components:

1. A travelling bar on the bottom, marked in frames, starting 12 frames before and after the audio clap;
2. Sync Flash Lines on the upper left; and
3. A sync plunger on the upper right.

Frame rate is 25fps; each of the 12 + 12 marks is 1 frame, so 1 mark is 40 milliseconds (1000ms/25 fps).

I made an srt subtitle file so I don't forget:

25fps; 1 frame per mark; 40ms. per mark.
e.g.: 3 = 120ms. (3 x 40ms.)
