Hi everyone,
I screen recorded a live broadcast of a show, but I’m not able to capture the sound directly (I actually logged a post about this three years ago — still not working!). So I use Audacity to record the sound separately.
At first, I line up the audio and video, and they’re perfectly in sync. But further down the timeline, the audio gradually drifts out of sync.
Does anyone know why this is happening — and how I can fix it?
Any advice would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Zaza, you need the "Object Stretch" mouse mode". Ungroup your audio from the video, then go into object-stretch mouse mode:
Then go to the end of your audio and click-drag to achieve what you want. If the audio is running progressively faster, drag the end further to the right. This will slow the audio rate down. And vice versa.
As for why? One of the great imponderables of life, unfortunately.

Thank you @AAProds for the tip.. seems to work. I am reviewing the footage and adjusting little by little with zoom widen to the max for micro adjustment.

Adjusting worked well at the begining of the video; Once I got to the end of the video it is once again completely out of synch at the begining.....
Make sure you're dragging the right edge correctly. You need to position the the "Stretch" mouse pointer on the right edge so it shows as the tape symbol with arrows pointing left and right. Don't try to drag on the fade ball.
Here's the stretch icon (a real screenshot!🙂):
Dragging the right edge will not move the left edge (it simply stretches the whole audio object), so the audio will remain in sync at the start. Make sure both left edges (video object and audio object) are still aligned after you've stretched the right edge.
