I started a new project and inserted an audio clip that's 2:41. The timeline show it is like 4:10.

When I try to add/edit title lengths, they are not consistent... ie, when syncing the end of the verse to the title clip, it is at :59 but the clip shows longer, so I drag the clip length to :59, and the end of the verse is now at 1:15.

I ran the latest patch last week. I'll check and run it again.

Sounds like the audio clip might be a mp3 flavor. I'd probably use Audacity or the like and convert to WAV and see if the issue persists.

PD does work with MP3, but your mileage may vary.

Some MP3s give no trouble. Some are nothing but trouble. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

I never knew mp3s had any issue either. Nice to know if an mp3 is trouble... convert or use a WAV of it.

after working on this project using a wav file, I still have issues with previewing the video and syncing with the music, particularly when more than 3 videos overlap. I have 6 lines of video in the project with prob 8 different vids on those lines.
I briefly searched, but is there a reference here that discusses settings or how to minimize memory to allow seamless previewing? Even in Normal Preview mode I still get loss of sync between music and vid. Looks fine in rendering. Win 10 I5-3570 16Gb GTX-750
