Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Yes, I did manage to find this before your response and succeeded in converting the mp3 audio track to .wav. 512 Kbps is sufficient? Also, what are your recommendations for producing? Do you suggest mpeg-2, HEVC, AVC? Higher resolution? I intend on playing this project on a 40" TV. Thanks again for all your time and assistance. I greatly appreciate it.
I hope the .wav files solve your sync problem after producing.
Generally speaking, you should match your produce profile to your source clips. For example if your clips are 1080/50p (or 60p), choose AVC (H.264) MP4 with the same resolution and frame rate. If you're using 4k/25p (or30p), You can use AVC or HEVC (either as MP4s) depending on your computer's hardware and graphics card.
There's no point in producing a 1080p clip at 4k, because you only have 1k worth of video data that PD will stretch to fill all the other pixels. Similarly, don't waste the quality of a 4k clip by producing to 1080 unless your TV can't display 4k, or if you need a much smaller files size.
MPG and MPEG2 are very low resolution codecs, mostly suited for old-style analog tape camcorders and DVDs, not Blu-Ray discs or HD/4k TVs/monitors.
I don't know if PD16 has this, but in PD17, the easiest way would be to simply click Profile Analyzer and use the Best Matched Format:
Take a look at the first part of this
video on SVRT to see a different way to find the best format.
