Recorded video and audio do not match

I am using MEP 14 plus.

When I am recording video from my VHS home movies, the audio and video is off. Is there an adjustment to fix this? The audio is lagging behind the video. Thanks for any help you might figure out.

If there is a constant difference between video and audio (F. i. 1 sec.) you can right-click the track in Timeline and choose Set audio video offset (Shift+F) and experiment. Another way is to Ungroup (Ctrl+M) the files and move the audio so the sound fits the video. If the difference increases, you could try to use the Object stretch mouse (Alt+4) and adjust the audio a little.

Hi,

You can try the things that were suggested. Maybe it helps to cure the symptoms of the problem, thus effectively resolving it. However, ultimately, you might want to go after the original causes of the issue and see whether you can eliminate those. Sync problems after analog capturing are usually related to dropped-frames, which in turn are usually related to performance problems, data bottlenecks and so on. Make sure your system is of sufficient specifications for video editing and analog recording and there are no other applications and processes hogging your memory and CPU when working in MEP. Make sure your hard drive performance is sufficient as well. Maybe you can get some assistance from Magix support to find the problem and optimise system performance:

Good luck!
