  • Sliding a clip 1/2 frame.

    Posted by David Distinti on February 8, 2010 at 1:52 pm

    I had cleaned up some bad audio from a .avi video clip in Sony Sound Forge then went to place it back in my Premier CS4 timeline. I can’t get the .wav audio file to perfectly align with the prexisting clip’s audio. I can only get the audio clip to either be a frame ahead or behind. Is there a way to literally slide the audio clip a 1/2 frame? The sequence is in 24p and I turned snapping off. Any thoughts?

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi David,

    Not in front of Premiere right now to look, but basically there is an arrow at the top right corner of Sequence window, click that and you will get option to display audio frames or units (something like that). It will change timeline ruler to audio samples rather than video frames and then audio can be moved in very small increments (audio resolution) rather than frames (zoom in for control!).

    After adjusting audio, you can change back to frames display. I often use this to sync audio between multiple cameras when waveform is half a frame off. Unlink video/audio first so you can move audio clip independently.
