Sound Mixer causes studio to crash

Post by crookanator »

I used the search engine and didn't find a previous post on this topic so I'll make one.

I'm trying to make a montage and I have a song already added. I can add a video to the file, I then try to open the sound mixer to I can ensure that the video begins and ends with the music at the part I'd like it to. However upon clicking the sound mixer button it causes the studio to crash. This is rather frustrating especially since this is a trial version, and I'm leaning towards not buying it. I love the potential options this program seems to have, but please help me get around these bugs. I'm not going to buy broken software.

The music file is a MPEG-4 file
The video file is AVI. It is recorded footage from using Bandicam. (I was able to make and save a video using studio with this video format)

Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Hi and welcome to the forum

Can you try converting your music file to WAV and try again, it's possible that VS has difficulty identifying the codecs used by your MPEG-4 file

It may also be that the video might need converting, Bandicam is a screen recorder isn't it?
Depending on the resolution you recorded at and the type of avi it produces, there are well over 800 of them, it could be that the mix of you video and audio don't gel.
Try, as suggested converting the mp4 to wav first, this might be enough to get it all working.
Where did the mp4 audio file come from?
