Thank you, Borate! Here is "Everybody", as I originally exported it. Seems fine except for the 1/2 second lag of video. At about 1 minute in, the actor comes into closeup and you can clearly see the lag. A little bit of noise. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Insi1c7fWuLeIppepxv8WRlchmy9sDfo/view?usp=sharing and this is that same video, re-loaded into VideoPad, without additional editing: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10z2iEs0XGzGvvp4B2HA7ZIsFitaogh3X/view?usp=sharing Don't know if you can tell without a timeline to look at, but it is now lagging 1 full second, and the first word "--and" at the beginning has been cut off. There is also a lot more noise; I was going to ask about that in a separate question. I had minimal noise when I first downloaded the zoom clips to make "Everybody", but since then, every clip I download has a lot of noise, sometimes thunderous, as well as the lag. I have closed and re-opened VideoPad several times, though I haven't re-booted my computer. I greatly appreciate any suggestions. I've read a few of your posts, and they are always thoughtful and helpful.

I recently made a 12-minute video (“Everybody”) on VideoPad, using mp4 clips from various Zoom recordings. Everything worked splendidly, it looked great, except that it was ½ second out of sync (video lagging audio). I submitted it as-is. I subsequently learned how to sync, and have been experimenting with other Zoom clips. All were originally in sync when I played them on Windows Media Player, but when I bring them into VideoPad they consistently come in ½ second out of sync. I reloaded the exported “Everybody” into VideoPad and found that it was now out of sync by 1 full second, and the first ½ second of its audio was now chopped off. I conclude that each time I download a clip into VideoPad, it moves the audio track ½ second to the left, which chops off the first ½ second of audio, and leaves the last ½ second of the audio track empty and black, to meet the end of the video track. Could you please confirm that this happens, and tell me if there is any way to avoid it? I can allow for it in the future by leaving a few seconds of silence before I begin the action, but I cannot go back and re-sync “Everybody”, because the first actor begins speaking within that ½ second, and her first word or two has been cut off.
