Moving files between seconds?

Hello

For all the features PowerDirector 11 has, I am slightly disappointed to find that you can only move files from one second to the next.

For example I am trying to sync video and audio to make a music video and I have the video starting at 00:00:00:00. I have the audio starting at 00:00:07:00 (7 seconds in) on another track.

However I feel like the audio is slightly early so tried moving it to 00:00:08:00 but this seems slightly late. Ideally I am guessing I need the audio to start around 00:00:07:30 (7 1/2 seconds in).

I think I read somewhere this is NOT possible in PowerDirector.

a) Is this true?
b) If so, does anybody know a movie editing program I could download where you can start a file exactly where you need it to?

Many thanks in advance.

Nick

Hi Nick -

What you read isn't true.

You can drag the audio clip to the approximate position, then nudge it forward or backward one frame at a time.

Just set "Seek by" to Frame & use the Alt + → or ← keys to shift it to the exact position.

Cheers - Tony
