Hello, I am trying to sync two videos for simutanious view as in the linked video below

<a>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnUTXaTSo9U</a>

However, I cannot get them to sync up correctly as in my own video linked below

<a>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p162sz_0yjk</a>

I can adjust the two timeline tracks to be somewhat synced at a single point, but the sync drifts

further apart as the video goes on. How do I get the two to be consistant when the same event happens in both videos?

PLEASE HELP ME!

Right click on one of the clips and click View Properties.
In the file section... Take note of the File Type
In the Video section... Take note of the Frame Rate and Frame Type.

Repeat for the other clip.

Compare the data. If it matches then I dunno. If it doesn't match, there may be a difference in the number of frames causing the two to get out of sync. CyberPowerPC | Win7HP-64 | AMD FX-8320 3.5 Ghz | 8GB Mem | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB | WEI 5.9

If they are different, can I manually match them?

Produce each clip (separately) but in identical formats.

So which format? Whichever one is the smallest in size/dimensions. The file format is your preference.

For example... If one is 1080x720 and the other is 1920x1080, make both clips 1080x720.

Then you can either start your project over from scratch or replace the old clips with the new ones. Hopefully you can get them to sync up better. CyberPowerPC | Win7HP-64 | AMD FX-8320 3.5 Ghz | 8GB Mem | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB | WEI 5.9

Default to the smaller dimesions. what if they have different aspect ratios? One is 4:3 the other 16:9.

Hello, sir, I exported the two videos as you said, but the game play footage was originally 4:3 and I exported it to 16:9. When I did the audio and video for that vid was out of sync with the audio tracking a head of its video. When I try and export it as 4:3 it make a 6-9 gb file for twenty minutes. Why is this please?

Just tried several permutations of expoting of all them showed the same error for that video.
