Hi

Does the same on my PC. (V 2.12). It's assumed by nch to be a computer performance issue. I suspect you are editing MPEG4 1080i video which presumably requires a lot of unpacking before it can be previewed in VP but the sound doesn't so the image lags. On my PC it can be out by SECONDS after only a short time. It's starts in synch again if I click on a new part of the sequence, but then the same thing occurs. Try converting it to MPEG2 which seems to work much better, or shoot at a lower resolution.

 

eg. In a 22 second MPEG4 H264 clip HD 1280 x 720p 30fps , the sound finished 7 seconds before the video finished.

 

The same clip converted to MGEG2 with same frame size when played in VP showed no discernable delay. Also the sound quality was clearer and the image seemed better.

Thx Nat, and that all makes sense. Unfortunately I'm worried that my new hobby of video editing will eventually require a Mac of some type.

Do you know the easiest way to convert the file from MP4 to MP2? Yes it's a PC.

Hey everyone, new guy here. Although I'm starting to get the hang of the Videopad Professional, I still have a question for you sharp people.

Whenever I drop video media down to the timeline area (the lower area of the screen) and then do a preview (either full screen or the upper right window), it seems the audio is in real time while the video is going at a lower speed. The two are not synced. I know I could maually adjust and speed up the video, but it doesn't seem I should have to do that.

What's the problem and why is it doing this?

Thx
