Lagging Video/Sound

[thepresentsky]

Hi,

 

Just a quick notice, I am fairly new to this program and am not fully aware of how it works specifically or all of the functions it holds yet. So if you could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

 

After adding a MP4 clip (around 31 seconds long) into the timeline and watching it play through, I begin to see either the video lagging or the sound leading. When the clip starts everything matches up perfectly, but as it continues to play the problem seems to be getting worse and worse and it's been very irritating. Is there a solution to this?

 

Thanks!

Thank you!

 

So, are you saying I should convert all of my MPEG4 clips into MPEG2 clips?

If so, what is the best codec/audio and video bitrate/clip size to use for the best quality?

Is that the easiest way?

 

Sorry about all the questions. I am also fairly new at video editing in general.

Alright cool! Thanks a lot man!

 

I have just one more question for you...

I finished my project with everything in sync (using MPEG2 files for the time being) and I save it under my videos, but when I go to play it back it's only sound that's playing.

 

Any suggestions?

Okay, let me know how that works out when you're done and if you have any ideas to why only the sound is playing from my video, please fill me in.

 

Thanks!
