Sounds like your best bet would be to enable the enlarged timeline scale for audio tracks under the Preferences | Editing menu:



Then zoom in on a timeline area where you have clear beats in the audio waveforms and nudge the WAV track left or right to bring it in sync. You can do that with the mouse, or more precisely using Alt + left/right arrow keys to move the clip 1 sub-frame at a time.

Thanks for that tip, Optodata! I've been using ALT+ARROWS for a long time, but can only get to do that three or four times before PD refususes to move then I have to try and move the clip with the mouse and that too is a bit hit and miss - a small movement with the mouse sends the clip hurtling back a dozen or more frames, and then a similar move in the other direction produces a completely different result. Or it may just not move at all... I'm sure its because I am working with clips of several minutes and these movememnts are just overwhelming my system (I only have 16GB of RAM, so maybe I should upgrade!)

You had mentioned that in another post, but I haven't seen that behavior and I don't know that anyone else has posted about it. I work with 20GB, 18-minute-long, 4K60p clips all the time, and PD never stalls when moving clips on the timeline. If I type many Alt+arrow key strokes in a row, it may take a few seconds for PD to work through the queue, but it doesn't ever become nonresponsive.

It's conceivable that PD is running out of resources when you're trying to move the clip that way, but without seeing your system specs or knowing the details of the clips you're working with I can't really say.

If and when it happens again, I suggest leaving the clip where it sits when the arrow keys stop and use Ctrl+S to save the project. Don't try to use the mouse and see if the clip can be moved by the keyboard after that. Worst case would be to close PD and reopen it. Also make sure you have no other programs running so PD will have full access to all system resources.
