  Keeping audio/video in sync after editing audio

  Posted by Darren Addy on August 10, 2010 at 4:25 pm

  Using Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9.0b (build 92)
  Working with a new camera (Canon Vixia HF200).

  Problem No. 1: Preview almost useless to me. Video can’t keep up. Other than getting a more powerful computer to edit on, are there any workarounds?

  Problem No. 2: We use a mono lapel mike (corded) so I only get one channel of sound. I’ve found how to duplicate that channel onto the other side (using Audacity) so I have mono sound on both left and right. While I’m at it, I use Audacity to remove background buzz. Works great. But when I put the audio back in, it appears slightly longer than it did before (and longer than the video) and it is out of sync.

  How does one split the video/audio for editing and get it back in just the right place? (Problem No. 1 makes it hard/impossible to know if I have it right until after a render.

  Thanks in advance for any responses!

  You don’t need to leave Vegas. Just right-click the audio on the timeline, go to Switches, Channels, and then select “Left” or “Right” depending on which channel the audio is on. That channel will then go out both sides.
