So I've got one of those files that starts out with the sound and video in sync and using both VP and WinAVI goes out of sync. Badly in fact. I've uploaded the original file to my google drive if someone would like to try their hand at seeing if they can convert the flv to avi without losing sync. if you succeed in this tell me how. Also at the very beginning before the video even starts there's very noticeable white noise and I was wondering if there's a way in VP to remove or counteract or cover this white noise. It's something I've seen many times with older tv shows and movies I've downloaded from the net so it would be very handy to be able to fix this once and for all. A VERY useful skill to have. Big Thanks

I can't understand why this app is SOOOO loud. No other application I use or have EVER used starts AT FULL VOLUME EVERY SINGLE TIME. I was thinking about your suggestion Borate. Wouldn't that effect the sound volume in the video itself when you save it. That's not what I want to do because as I said no other application I use would start at full volume like VideoPad. I use BSPlayer first and VLC if there's an issue with a particular video and neither of them would play the exact same video at full volume like that so there's a pretty good likelihood if I adjusted the volume in VP to be reasonable the sound would then be MUCH too quiet in BSP or VLC. I've been adjusting the volume from the system tray like you suggested Nat and it works well. The only problem is I have to adjust it for EVERY video I edit in VP. Is there a way I can get the volume in VP to ALWAYS be decreased by 90% or so. Sometimes I'm not thinking of it and I hit preview or play in VP and it BLASTS ME. Not fun. And it's EVERY video I edit. And it's SOOOO loud that I'm adjusting the volume in the Volume Mixer to JUST above totally off and THEN the sound is reasonable. And perfectly clear and audible. I can't help thinking I MUST have something set up wrong in VP or there would be hundreds of people on this site pleading with people to help them with this VERY startling issue. Of course I've got a headset on so it probably sounds louder to me than someone who's just listening through their PC speakers or monitor speakers. I do like VP a lot it has great ability to edit video but this is such a pain.

That would be very handy Solo. Think they read these. Never mind no company would have the time to read everything their customers are saying on their site too bad because that would be very handy functionality to add to VideoPad indeed. Smile (I have a cat named Solo. He's named that because he was the only one in the litter.)

1. If the original video starts out IN SYNC what causes it to convert totally out of sync and how can I prevent it? 2. If the original video starts in sync and gradually starts to go out of sync how do you fix that or prevent it?

Wow you really are an Einstein. I'll give it a try when I get a chance. Thanks for taking the time to do all that. I know it's finicky work doing precision timing like that so I definitely appreciate it. I'm pretty busy this week but I'll let you know if it worked for me when I get a chance to try it.

The files uploaded to Google Drive as you suggested borate. Hopefully someone is willing to help me out and then explain to me exactly how they did it. Original File (Sound is out of sync on this one too) Converted File (The one I really want to fix since it includes changes I wanted to make to improve the quality of the Video anyway)

Thanks borate. I'll do that.

You know it's really not working anyway. I disconnected the sound from the video and I can see how you can move it independent of the video but even when I do that and then preview the result the sound and video are still in exactly the same relation to each other. I'm really not sure what else I should be doing.

Thanks borate I see how that works Do you know any way I can line it up with any kind of precision. Manually moving it back and forth like this might literally take hours. It just won't seem to line up. I've got it close but can't get it quite right. I wonder if you would be willing is there a way I could get the file I'm trying to fix to you and you could see what you could do and then tell me how you did it specifically. If you have the time and inclination I mean.

Does anyone know how I can change the sound timing in a video. The sound is about 5 seconds ahead of the video. I didn't encode or record this so I don't have an original file that has the correct timing. Thanks

Both effective solutions Einstein. Thanks so much for your help.

Can someone please tell me how to turn down the sound on Videos played in Videopad. When everything else on my computer is playing things at a normal sound level and I play something in VideoPad the sound is just blaring. It's a shock to the system because I'm really not expecting it and I'm scrambling trying to turn the damn sound down before I go deaf. Why is it like this??????? I've looked everywhere in the App and even tried to find the answer with Google but I just can't find out how to change this. I don't know how the aren't scores of people asking this question out there. Have I got something set up wrong somehow? Thanks
