I have a audio file about 1 min long but when I put it in powerdirector , it's showing it as a 3 min audio file including a waveform for all 3 mins, even thou there only audio for the 1st min, the problem is lining it up with my video and sometime when I choose a different section to play back e.g if I play 2 mins into the clip it might play the audio at the beginning, meaning I can't even figure out what to trim, it's very strange and I had this happen before which made editing a video and audio together near impossible.

Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? Thanks

You can attach the media-info of the audio file here,
also try converting the audio to another format. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
Nvidia GTX 960(4GB)/16GB DDR3/
Canon Vixia HV30/HF-M40/HF-M41/HF-G20/Olympus E-PL5.

I did about 5 mp3 audio files and the rest where the fine but the 47 second one appeared as about 3 mins in powerdirector. I will find the file info. Hope these are the details you meant. thanks

No, Barry was asking you to use the free MediaInfo app so we can see all the technical details.

There's also an online version where you simply drag the suspect clip onto the webpage then save the text results and attach them here.

After looking at those three jpgs, here are my two.

Again, what we need are the full technical details that MediInfo will provide.

All you need to do is click on the link in my last post then drag-and-drop the clip you're having trouble with or click on Choose File:

Then click on the blue Download MediaInfo report that will appear and upload that text file here.

Michael49, why are you posting about your clips on this PD20/365 thread? It looks like you're already being assisted with your issue in the PD18 forum.
