Offsetting audio by half a frame
I shoot a bi weekly cooking show that I generally use 2-3 camers for.
I use a clap board to sync the 3 cameras in post, but frequently I find the audio for camera 2 or 3 off by a fraction of a frame.
If you use audio from both (or all) cameras you get a slight delay that almost sounds like an echo.
I guess my question is……
I seem to remember seeing somewhere, a video that showed being able to move the audio track at a more precise amount than 1 frame???
Say 1/4 frame or 1/2 frame????This post make sense?

Change the menu setting on the right top side of the timeline to “Audio units”.

Thanks Vince, I thought it would be something simple like that.

As an AVID an Vegas user I struggled with this issue, so simple in Vegas. But using [Show Audio Time Units] does not make you able to align clips by audio perfectly. You have also to use the [Slide Tool – U -] at tools menu. Regular or other cursors didn’t make it. With audio time units you will position the clip exactly synchronized in a flash, at any fraction of frame required. Without time units, this tool is useful as you can slide easily a frame at a time.
