Audio & visual not synced up

[Meg Fitzgerald]

Hi, I'm using VideoWave to edit a 40-minute video into smaller chunks. However, I have noticed that after I split the original video and copy & paste it into a new production, the audio is not synced up with the video. Why does this happen? Is there some way I can edit this and put it back on track?

Add all the chunks together, mute the native audio tracks and then add the audio to a different audio track and align it to sync.

 

I have tried this but find it very difficult to "align to sync". This is because you have to slide the audio track by hand [as far as I know]. Its hard to get it started and then it goes way further than you want, etc. Just wondering if there is a way to more precisely move the audio track like you can very precisely set the time for a photo to display? Would be great if you could open a window and move the track a precise click [second, half second, etc.] either way - or just one way.

Usually cutting a long video into shorter sections helps the sync. Perhaps it makes more key frames for the audio and video to sync up. In the original video are the video and audio in sync?

 

There are two options, recapture the video in shorter chunks like 10 minutes or so. The other will be time extensive since you will have to make the cuts, add that file to a new project, encode it to a mpg file and then extract the audio. Add all the chunks together, mute the native audio tracks and then add the audio to a different audio track and align it to sync.

 

Make sure you are working with a clean and defragged hard drive with plenty of space. Have nothing else running when you are doing video work - no anit-virus, no anti-malware, no e-mail, no games, Basically have eveythng else shut down.

 

Please post some specs for your computer. Thanks..

 

Thanks for the tips about cutting the video into smaller sections - I will keep that in mind for the future! It turns out in this particular case the problem was because I had it saved to the network, instead of to my own computer. Once I saved it to my C drive, it was okay.

 

Thanks again!

Look for an icon just below the preview that is snap to object. Turn that on and then move the audio file. It should line up exactly.
