    Audio and Video sync problem.

    A friend has s11 and recently completed his very first vid.he now has a problem with his narration, what he is saying on the video doesn't match what is being viewed, it's as if the transitions he has placed between clips is somehow stretching the narration out of sync.

    Any ideas ?

    Re: Audio and Video sync problem.

    We need a bit more information.

    Was the narration part of the captured video?

    Was the narration on a separate audio timeline?

    If the narration is on  a separate timeline, when you place a transition on the video timeline, it has to overlap the two video segments in order to do the transition. This of course will shorten the total length of the video. An equal amount is removed from the end of the audio timeline so that it's total length is equal to the video. The audio track will no longer be synchronous with the video, after the transition.

    The proper way, is to make all of your video edits, including transitions, and then lay down your narration.

    If this is the case, and it is all complete, you will either have to re-do the narration, or it might be possible to cut out segments of the audio and slide the remaining audio timeline to synchronize it with the video. If, when you are doing video editing, you lock the audio track, nothing will be removed while editing.

    If I have misunderstood the problem, give us more information.

    Thanks for your reply Don.

    The audio was captured with the video so that's why i can't understand why it is not in sync. On playback within studio it is fine but when burned to a disc the problem occurs.I'm having another look at it for my friend tonight so i'll keep you up to speed. it's certainly a puzzle to me.

    Cheers.
