  • Premiere CS6 – Audio and Video timeline matching

    Hi there,

    A very quick one here.

    I’m trying to sync Video1+Audio1 with another audio on Audio2 timeline. As I do this with two original files (video and audio), it all goes well and I sync them perfectly. Then, I need to fit in another short video to appear before all this, so I move them a little to the right on Timeline to make space for the short video. Unfortunately, after I move them them all (Video1+Audio1 and Audio2), even though Video1+Audio1 and Audio2 are on the same timeline, therefore should be sync perfectly because I just did it, they are not sync — it starts off well, as it should, but somehow towards the middle Video1+Audio1 and Audio2 are out of sync; video gets ahead a little bit, mysteriously so, because it’s all fine in the beginning. And I can’t seem to find any visible disruptions on the timeline either.

    Does anybody know what the hell is happening and how to fix it? What am I doing wrong? This is my first time working with Premiere, so I might just be lost…

    Thank you!

    When you want to insert a video clip it is easier to put this on an empty track above the editted timeline instead of making room in the existing video track.

    Good luck

    Do you mean just put the new video on Video2 timeline? If yes, then I’ve done this — when I do this, it just goes on top of existing audio and cuts the beginning of Audio2 track. Then, if I move Audio2 track a little to the right, it is out of sync with the Video track, even though they begin perfectly synchronized, then end up being out of sync somewhere in the middle. I’m guessing this isn’t normal…

    Because track 2 is used for audio, put the insert on video track 3
