Syncing issues with video and audio

[Dave Lozinski]

Do you have “snapping” enabled? If so, disable it and it will allow you to move clips a little bit at a time in the timeline.

That should allow you to line up things perfectly. Make sure to zoom in to the timeline if you have to.

[Kayley Grace] “I have a 1 hr video that has syncing issues. The audio constantly goes in and out of sync.”

Where did the video come from (camcorder or somewhere else)?
Is the audio a totally separate from the video?
What format is the video (miniDV, HDV, AVCHD)?
What are your computer specs?

Thanks Dave, I have found the snapping and have disabled it. Now it seems that I can’t hear the 2nd audio track I have.

What I have is a 1 hr video that is out of sync and I have this side and the other side audio tracks that I am trying to line up with the video. I can hear the other side audio but can’t hear my side audio.

I inserted a new audio track and put it there. Have I missed something?

Mike ok here is what I’ve done.
Using skype I recorded a 1 hr video using vodburner as the recorder.
I have the two sides of the audio as separate files.
The video is a WMV file.
My pc specs: I have windows 7 64 bit- emachine 640G laptop. upgraded to 6g ram, dual processor.

That’s all I know about the specs I can probably find out more if you need more info than that.

Thanks Kayley

Also can you let me know how to zoom in on the timeline. the audio is a fraction out and I can get it just before and just after but not spot on, in the place I need it to be. Is there another way to move the audio other than a mousepad. Can I use arrows?

Thanks Kayley
