I’ve had this animation file for awhile, but since the 5.2 update the speed of both animation and audio keeps messing up. Almost every time I go to playback the animation either the animation frames go by at double speed, or the audio does. Rarely do I click play and both play back in sync. Neither speed or FPS change seemingly.
I can quick fix for a single playback by just clicking into speed and FPS and clicking down and then back up, but it doesnt stick.
Which operating system/version are you using?
Can you make the animation .kra file and the audio file available using a link to a file download service/website?
Does this affect any other of your previous animations that worked ok with 5.1.5 or your previous version.
I’m using windows 10
The .kra file is currently 13 GB and will likely take awhile to upload to something like google drive but it is certainly possible if it’d be helpful to diagnose. I can start uploading and will update thread when it finishes.
The issue does seem to port over to other animations that worked in previous versions of krita.
In that case, could you offer a smaller animation (with its audio file) that shows the problem?
Does the rendered video file have the same problem or is it rendered ok?
I found the rough version of the animation file I’m working on - its far smaller. Its been uploaded to google drive.
Once rendered the files seem to be fine.
I may attempt to re-install Krita as a whole and see whether that fixes the issue.
This never fixes any issue!
It is the most uninformed measure repeatedly pulled out of the “toolbox” of users who do not know how a Krita-Installation works, where which files are stored and what they do where they are.
Where Krita stores its configuration files:
Where Krita stores the resources you need to paint with:
And now take a look where you have installed your version of Krita…
…so, it is crazy…

I downloaded the .kra file (339 MB) and opened it in the 5.2.0 appimage on Linux Mint 21.
It’s 2077 frames at 10 fps with RAM usage of 5.5 GB and it played ok.
I added a music audio file and it played ok all the way through with no audible distortion or speed increases.
I assumed you actually meant that the RAM usage was 13 GB and not a .kra file size of 13 GB. Is that right?
How much RAM do you have on your computer and how much RAM does your final animation so far use?
This may be a situation where your computer is running out of resources and swapping madly in an attempt to keep up.

ahh yes you’re right - thats the RAM usage. File size is 900 MB
my computer has 32 GB RAM.
Animation is using 13.3 GB (updated since original post) and its almost completed.
TY Michelist for the warning about uninstalling

The default allocation of RAM for use by krita is 50% which is 16 GB in your case.
You could go to Settings → Performance → General and set it to 75% (24 GB) to give yourself plenty of headroom.
That would leave 8GB for Windows to do its thing and FFMpeg to operate in while rendering.
On the Animation Cache tab, you could set the cache to be In-memory (for speed/convenience) but consider the tooltip warning as you hover the cursor over that option.
I had previous issues rendering and increased the allocation at that point. Currently i think i have it at 80%? I turned it down a touch to 70% and its still doing the weird thing. I did this before the 5.2 update and it didn’t affect it at that time.
In-memory doesnt seem to help either.
I created a smaller animation file for a side-project and it did the same thing.
I haven’t tried this with Windows 10 and I will when I get time.
Many people have had some kind of problem with audio synchronisation in the past on different operating systems but not all people.
I’ve never had an audio problem with Linux or Windows 10 on my 12 year old desktop.
I have a suspicion that it’s the audio driver/system that is particular to the motherboard.
The only way to test that suspicion/theory is do do extensive experiments with the computers that have the problem - but that’s not going to happen.
