Horray! Audio syncing problems!

Post by SuperSaiyanCannibal » Tue Mar 06, 2007 2:25 am

I'm having issues with syncing my audio to my clips. Everytime I play the audio through, and then I pause it to fix the timing on the clips, but then start playing the audio again, the audio is in a different spot then when I paused it, it's usually like up to three seconds difference then when I paused it! This way, I can't sync the audio to the clips exactly how I want it because the audio is different every time.

Does anyone have suggestions?

I apologize if this has been covered, I only quickly glimpsed at other threads

This is either one of two problems:

1. WMM being a generally buggy program.
2. WMM being a generally sucky program.

Or both.

Check out the FAQ thread at the top of the page, I believe you'll want to scroll down to point 4. If following that doesn't help, then it might just be the fact that WMM's synching capabilities are shit and you'll simply have to deal with it.

low quality mp3s also do this and by low quality I mean at about 124kbps it becomes noticable.

Like I said, I just briefly scanned through the threads, didn't even bother checking in the FAQ

It happened to me, here's what I did:

Cut the clips, and just save the audio as "high quality" in WMM, then use the WMA version of it. As a WMA it won't skip or anything. Try it, it should work.
