TIMESTRETCH - How to speed up audio, maintain video sync?

VideoPro wrote on 9/21/2021, 3:25 AM

So far I have tried every suggestion I could find on this forum.

Nothing seems to work.

My goal is to speed up the voice of the person being interviewed, while maintaining the video time in sync.

The MEP time stretch does not seem to want to work, it cracks and sounds like lil john vocoder in some places. I am moving from 120bpm to 130, a tiny amount?

I bought Sound Forge and loaded that up, edited wave externally, does not work, simply puts the wave file out of sync with video.

I tried Music Edit 3, same thing.

Anyone else conquer this yet?

Is there any other way to do this by not leaving MEP?

If I must leave MEP, and use a third party tool, do you recommend any?

How do I get the audio and the video clip back on one track, so that I can export it again (export the particular clip) there are dozens of small clips which need micro editing, and I need to find a simple and quick way of saving the segment of audio and video out of MEP, so I can take it out to a 3rd party software for speeding up the clip, and then re-import it.

p.s. is VIDEO EDIT PRO, better or worse, then MEP Premium? I would buy that if it is better, but I am unsure

@VideoPro

You asked essentially the same question here, to which you received several replies detailing how, in an admittedly slightly limited fashion, this could be done. So why have you reposted the question?

No-one is going to be able to tell you anything different to what is in that thread so this thread is, in effect, a duplicate. Hence I have closed it! I note your replies towards the end of that other thread became increasingly hostile towards other, very experienced users of the software. You were advised, then, to read the Community rules, please do so, especially #1. If you continue to post with dismissive and arrogant comments towards other users and/or moderators, you will be permanently banned. BTW, just for the record no user who posts here is paid by Magix, we are all volunteers.

Also, there is no such program as VIDEO EDIT PRO! There is Video Pro X but I doubt that buying it will help you in this regard. Speaking personally, I have never found the problem that you experience to be a deal-breaker. Since this is a video it is the video that will almost always "dictate" where edits are needed; to do as you appear to be doing (allowing the audio to dictate the video edit is highly unusual and is the reason why professional broadcasters will often record "filler" or "sustainer" video footage which they can insert at points where a potentially difficult audio edit needs to be made.
