Audio not being trimmed with video in project

handyalbert11 · Post by **handyalbert11** » Tue Nov 10, 2009 2:32 am

Hi, I am using videostudio pro x2, I have installed the patch and i am trying to trim a .AVI video file, my problem is that when playing as just a clip the audio matches the video but when played as a project the audio begins at the original beggining. I have tried proxy, non-proxy, many different ways of trimming the video, splitting the audio seperate from the video then trimming, and if played seperate the audio begins at the right point but as soon as i try to play the project the audio starts at the original beggining point again, I'm stuck and don't know what else to try, TIA.

Edit- Ok I have narrowed it down to being my source, Using video from my Panasonic HD camera works fine but the video from my Hero GoPro helmet cam is what is causing problems

Anyone have any ideas what I should try? Tech support has not been much help so far and I would like to figure this out. The way I am transferring the files as of now is taking the SD card out of the camera then transferring them to a usb flash drive with a laptop then capturing from the flash drive onto my PC. I am doing this because I dont have a card reader on my PC. Could this be causing the problems?

The method of transfer should not be a problem, the format of the source clips might be. Try converting them to either DV or MPEG2 using a free converter Super and then import the converted file rather than the original.

Sorry but that doesn't help much.
There are a small handful of file extensions that describe that a computer file is a video. These include
avi, mpeg, mov, rm, wmv, qt, swf
Plus a few others.
Think of these as groups of a certain form of video, within those groups are lots of individuals. Liken this to animals, there are dogs, cats, snakes, birds, rodents and so on.
Within these groups are several types. For instance a dog can be a Poodle, Jack Russell, Alsatian, King Charles, Greyhound etc.

The term avi can mean any one of perhaps a hundred different types such as DV, MPEG4, uncompressed, MJPEG, DivX, Xvid, RLE, YUV, Cinepak and lots more.

You need to be more specific.

Right click on one of the .avi files inside VS, either when it is in the timeline or in the library window, and copy down ALL its properties here, please.

Thank you very much, I didn't realize there were different types of AVI files, I have found out the file i'm using is a MJPEG. I will try converting it as you suggest.

I've probably got this all wrong but if you are looking to delete part of a clip say remove the first few seconds, split the clip at the point where you want the clip to start and that will divide he clip into two clips. Then delete the first clip. The video and audio of the remainig clip will be in sync. You can use this to delete a section of the clip in the middle, just split it at the start and end of the section you want to delete then delete that separate clip. All will stay in sync. Sorry if i have got the wrong end of the stick

Hi

John, I think you have a valid point.

More info from Handyalbert as to how the frames are being removed would be useful.

Are you simply using the scissors and deleting the unwanted sections.?

Have you used the Split Audio function, then proceeded to cut the main track?????????
That would certainly produce this condition.
