For the Samplitude mix, I suggest that you import the original audio file into VPX and try to align it with the main video, hopefully using the automated method.
Then you can import the mixed file from Samplitude, and simply line it up with the original Samplitude recording (unless you've trimmed it). Then you can mute or delete the original audio file. Or some variation thereof.

Hi Ronny,
Aligning to the nearest video frame should work fine as you will presumably be working with at least 25fps(PAL) or 30fps(NTSC). that means that your video can only be half a frame out or 50th second at worst case. I certainly can't notice that small a difference and I doubt whether miming will get any closer. If your original camera take was to the Samplitude recording, then lining up the audio to your slate should be simple. You should though ensure that the audio and video have not been separated before hand or the audio will be synched but not the video when you do the autosynch. The audio can be separated and deleted after all the tracks are synched. Your 1,2,3 example is exactly what I do.

Up date:
Mixed the audio and imported it into the VPX project.Visually aligned all the takes as close as possible to the slate sound. Separated audio from each video take. Used the imported audio file to align each video clip to. Aligned each take , one by one, to the master audio .
When I separated the audio from the video the two tracks were grouped together.
Everything seems to be fine.
Thanks to all of you I was able to figure this out. Hope you all are doing great ....and stay safe.

Glad you got it all sorted and thanks for letting us know 🙂

I am also trying to align two clip that already has audio "Detached" and it only snaps to the timeline markers. Like it does not slide Freely... Therefore the two different audio will be offbeat.... It's insane how I still have Magix Music Maker2004 and it runs Perfectly....It allows Free Sliding... This does not happen on it.... The only difference is that the old software only converts 720 max lol... If not.. I would have kept using it..
Hi,
You have lost me. You have Music Maker 2004, an old audio editor "and it runs Perfectly....It allows Free Sliding... This does not happen on it...." .this is a thread about a recent version of Video Pro X, a video editing program.
If you are talking about a video editing program, then which one and version?
If you have Movie Edit Pro, what "timeline markers" are you talking about? The only markers are those that you made. If you mean frames, then those are not markers. The smallest unit in Movie Edit Pro/Magix Movie Studio is one frame. You cannot move audio to less than one frame. However, you can in Video Pro X, which is one of the reasons that is costs more.
