I started a topic on this but it got deleted? As no one was able to help me or i just could not find the issue? I got a free software that enables me to fix my video audio sync issue and like it if 14 can be updated to have this too? Its so basic and easy! I just change the audio delay to -200ms and the export it and import into powerdirector to do any other changes.

So please have this basic feature!


Please do not delete topic thank you!

I have not seen this problem where audio leads video by 200 msec. or 0.2 seconds. More than likely the audio will also be too long or too short over a period of time in the source video.

The fix is easy in PD14 and all the tools you need are already there.

Your other post probably got deleted because you claimed that 2 different professional software does the job but the purpose of that is to automatically sync numerous clips based on audio which has nothing to do with shifting the 0.2 seconds of audio.

My issue:

And my issue is that the audio is slower or faster then the video so its a sync issue.

Hi Tom I was thinking of getting that other pro program to fix my issue because my video and audio was out of sync and those software will do the fix for you.

I know mine is a bit short but that is the purpose of those expensive software. To fix video and Audio sync issues from basic to more complex issues.

You said it was easy but I have read most post and they all say its hard to fix? And lots of manual adjusting and very complicated! And I have not read any post while searching mentioning tools? I even search youtube to fix this issue but its mostly just moving the frames?

So can you tell me what these tools are and why they are not on youtube as tutorials? Like in audio director you can remove back ground noise? In spectrum mode? That is very neat something i have not seen.

But anyway I have not tested long recording with multiple audio sync issues. But I think this method will work well because I can just export the problem clip and fix it then import back into Powerdirector.

I also ask support and they did not tell me anything about these tools?

So please do tell me how do you fix this issue in Powerdirector?

And why did you have to delete my 2 ideas for powerdirector if its going to help improve the software? It was not like I was mentioning Premier Pro. It was just a software to fix audio video sync issue so Powerdirector does not need to worry about users abandoning it.

Anyway please respond!

Also i know power director can shift audio using frames but with my file the audio and video are one file. And again if powerdirector can do that there should be no worries about mentioning these software that can help other people.

Perhaps all you need to do is edit the audio files and just shift the frame so it adds up to the video? Is this the same with the audio delay with using VLC media player for a temporary solution? If it is then support did not tell me about this just that i should install the trial and figure it out myself and i also have not seen anyone mention this too as said????

And my issue is that the audio is slower or faster then the video so its a sync issue.

Here is one video on powerdirector but its not about my issue.

I am girl here!

Thank you longedge for the reply but it seem Tom does not like what I've posted and seem to understand what I said and he has not replied back so I guess i was right all along?

My issue is simple play a video and the audio does not match it so why i said i went into this free software and change the audio delay to 200 and exported it and it worked!

Its a Mp4 file but it can be AVI or MKV does not matter.
Its also a file that has the video and audio combine.

Its on a seperate HD as I do my editing on a seperate HD and its not being streamed as I am not asking about lag on live videos. Its pre recorded video with audio sync issues cause was not recorded properly but I fixed it!


So with this can i asked what tools is tom mentioning to fix this?

Can I list the two software here so its get a proper understanding? As what Tom says is wrong and i feel he is very hostile to me. Hostile because i found something that could help powerdirector users.

And also is moving the audio frame the same as delaying audio by 200ms? Perhaps it might but Tom is not replying and I wonder why?

Thank you and hope to get an answer as I fix my issue already with a free software and then i can export it into powerdirect.

I was also wanting to be sure before i buy the software so Tom reply made me think i should not??

Just for your information; you made a post in the Power DVD (previous version) and also here. It was not lost or deleted. Here are your topics:
http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/recentTopics/showTopicsByUser/176609.page

Where are you playing the file that you see a time delay? Was it in the original video? Where did you get the video?

The speakers I have connected to my DVD player and projector have a button to control the time delay. Not all speakers/monitors/projectors have that issue/problem. .
.

Anything I post unless stated with a reference is my personal opinion.

@VideoNewBie -if you just wanted to "move" back or forth the audio with 200ms (or whatever number) while maintaining the actual duration/speed, you can do it in just two steps.


  1. With th eclip in the timeline, Right click on the video clip and "Unlink Video/Audio".

  2. Click and hold (grab) the audio part. Drag it left/right where you like. If you zoom in enough on the time line you can control it very good.


But I believe that something else is wrong to begin, to have such a huge un-syncronisation.
