Hi Christopher.

Are the files in the project either from a new phone of a screen capture device?

If so they may well be producing variable frame rate files which, depending on how much the frame rates vary second to second, MEP can not handle. It can not add or subtract the extra frames needed to produce a constant frame rate video, so the result export is jumbled as it tries to put the file into a constant frame rate file. As the frame rates for the audio and video are also not then the same, the audio will go out of sync with the visuals.

Either find a way or setting that produces constant frame rate video files or convert them into constant frame rate file with the use of a free program such as Handbrake or similar.

If that is not the case please give more information on the files by using another free program called MediaInfo and post the results of an offending files' data here please.

Ps. Excellent system.

Okay Boys, so here is the pic regarding the files, it seems no its not the case that they are variable, i even have it set to non variable but CFR in action mirillis. So im not sure whats happening. Ive been using magix since 2008, long time supporter, know how to use everything, and this is a real bummer, and i really hope there can be some sort of solution. Also i do apologize for my lack of posting a more concrete form of my specs, i just figured it would give good detail on my current specs well enough :)

Hi Christopher.

Personally I didn't have any trouble seeing your machine specs. Open one spec and the others opened at the same time.

The only thing I'm seeing which I don't see often is the six audio streams. Are you recording game play?

That and the M=1 N=12 numbers.

How are the audio streams coming out of MEP?

I confess I have yet to have any dealings with using 5.1 surround sound within MEP or if it has any effect on editing.

I also have no prior experience of dealing with Action Mirillis.

One final thought. You show in your original images you are exporting at 44kHz and yet the source files are at 48kHz. I don't know it that would cause problems either.

This may be one for John.

Thanks Ray, yea like i said, i have actually used these settings as per normal for the last like12 years haha. So i just don't understand why its happening, the best thing i can do is show a video file playing in magix, then again the rendered version.

Hi Christopher.

It is not even playing correctly within MEP on your recorded video.

If you are showing all recorded tracks then there is something wrong. There should be three sets of stereo sound files taking up three audio tracks and not one track with all sound files in it.

It could be that earlier versions of MEP could not pick up on the additional channels and ignored them. I don't know.

If you are not exporting in 5.1 surround sound you need to turn off the rear pair and centre and sub sound channels in your screen recorder or be able to split the sound into the correct channels in MEP.

It sounds and looks like MEP is trying to separate the tracks and playing them sequentially in a staggered arrangement rather than in sync. Possibly due to sound buffer problems.

Another solution that comes to mind is possibly to change the sound settings in MEP to the following.

And see if that helps but you will still have to activate 5.1 surround sound in the sound mixer.

If all of that fails await Johns' reply.

I think John EB has more experience in dealing with multiple sound channel recordings.

Hi

Thanks for the MediaInfo analysis and video clip.

. . . .  six audio streams. Are you recording game play? . . . .That and the M=1 N=12 numbers. . . .

I assume this is recorded with Mirillis Action 4 Gameplay and screen recorder - were you also recording a webcam at the same time?

From the MediaInfo data, at first glance the video looks like a fairly standard AVC with AC3 Surround Sound, however it does have a few 'oddities'

1. it is long GOP ( Ray - N=120 ) - though this should not cause an issue - I have tested MEP with similar long GOP video and it imports/exports fine, normally the GOP length is the same as the frame rate or 1/2 the framerate - the screen recorder is using, or has been set up if the options exist to use, long GOP to preserve the framerate
    
2. audio is AC3 5.1 Surround sound this in itself is OK, however:-
    
3. the video is in an MP4 file container which, while not 'illegal', with AC3 audio it is not common to see. Encoding AC3 in the mp4 file format is known to cause issues with audio in players and may in video editors as well. The standard file container format for AVC + AC3 Surround Sound is .m2ts (AVCHD)

I would suggest you try the following:

1. Install Quicktime Essentials and try re-importing the video into MEP again.
    
2. Use Handbrake to change the container file format to .m2ts (AVCHD).
    
3. Not record in AC3 Surround sound if it is not essential - AAC it the 'standard for MP4 file format.

HTH
