video editor help

Post by ninja2929 » Sun May 27, 2012 8:21 am

I have found that with windows movie maker there is a 2 second lag between the preview audio and the published videos audio, can anyone tell me if this is a hardware issue and I need to hurry up and get a new computer, or is it a software issue and I need to use a better program?

what format is your audio? if you haven't done so, try converting it to an uncompressed wav.

RAM isn't running efficiently there (not in dual channel or better), and dual core threads like shit. If it's an AMD system then nothing is optimised. WMM is so basic that I doubt these would cause issues though :)
