Timing problem?
I keep having this extremely annoying problem with SV. Actually, it only happened once, and now is the 2nd time. I’m making this video and I’m trying to match the lyrics with the scenes. Until now, everything’s fine, just that almost each time I press play to see what I did, the song is a bit ahead or behind from how I matched it with the scenes. Not much, but enough to mess up what I’m trying to do. I don’t know anymore what to do, what’s right, what’s wrong. 😐 I said it happened one more time. That time I rendered only the portion of the video that had this problem and it was fine, so I rendered the whole video. But that portion wasn’t fine anymore. 😐 It never happened until a few days ago, or so. I’d be grateful if somebody could help me, it really annoys me. >.< PS: I have SV Pro 9 and I applied 2 effects to the song: Pitch Shift and ExpressFX Chorus, but none excesively, just a little bit.

Try going under options-preferences and pick the audio device tab, try adjusting the track buffering slider (be sure the enable track buffering tick) and see if that helps…also are you using the built in audio device or an external?
Hope this helps

Goodness, that sounds frustrating!
If Scott’s idea doesn’t fix the problem, I was thinking it might be just basic computer lag. General project preview is prone to lag unless you do a Dynamic Ram Preview (I hope you can do this in SV9). Select a loop region that you wish to view and hit Shift+B and it does a sort of ‘mini render’ for you to watch it more properly without going through the hassle of rendering.
If you can do this in Vegas 9 it will help you with synchronisation and speed up your workflow!
I’d notice sometimes as well, if you have the song from the music video in a track you may accidentally catch it with the cursor and take it a bit out of sync! I do this all the time. And, like you said the whole video was out of sync, is there a chance you possibly, accidentally, knocked it off without noticing?

If you did accidently drag the audio or video to make it out of sync,you can do ram previews to get it back in sync, then click on the video event, hold down the cntl key and click the audio event. Then hit the g (Group) key. this locks the two events so if you drag one, the other follows. For the opposite, select both events again and hit the U (Ungroup) and you can then move each seperatly again. Hope this helps, Danny Hays

I figured out what cause the problem: Preserve duration from Pitch Shift was disabled.
Thanks anyway for trying to help me.
