CyberLink Power Director timeline inaccurate

[Zhonatta]

Well I decided I would give making a video a try and got This video editor as sugest by a friend.

Anyways, it has a master video track which has static slot requiring you to cut the video clips into exact segments to fit to the music *IE the hard way*

Then there is a PiP track which allows you to freely move the video clips along the time line to match point of interest in the music *IE The easy way*

I set the Song which is in .mp3 formate into the Music Track and the go to setting the clips to fit the music. This is where the problem is everytime I move a clip along the time line and then watch it to check the timing the song does not match up. At first i just thought it was just a matter of getting it in the right spot on the time line, but then I start to watch the wave format as the song played and the point along the timeline where I want this specific clips to be keeps changing.

On one preview the point in the song that I want the clips to be at is at 46sec then next preview 50sec and then next 52,44,42. Each time trying to match the clip to the song as the song doesnt play the same along the time line. So how am I supose to match the clip to the part if the timeline isnt static?

You could try not using mp3 audio. Also, if you're using lossy video compressions you're making the problem even worse.
