I used a logictec webcam to bring in me talking on an video clip into Permiere Elements. It is a low resolution clip at 680 by 480. Much to my surprise the audio track doesnt match my lips in the video clip. What causes this?  suppose I can readjust the audio clip to match the video but I would rahter not have the problem to begin with.  Is it a lack of sytem resouces? it was a very short clip. I could use other software to record but I was hoping to skip that step. What am I doing wrong?

    Exactly what is INSIDE the video you are editing?
    Report back with the codec details of your file, use the program below
    Free program to get file information for PC/Mac http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download
    - when you analyze your file in MediaInfo and post a screen shot in the forum, do so in TREE view
    - post your information IN your message, not as an attachment that someone would have to download

     

    Does your video use a Variable Frame Rate? See https://community.adobe.com/t5/Premiere-Pro/Variable-frame-rate-video-with-Premiere-Pro/td-p/4601935
    If yes, use https://handbrake.fr/ open source transcoder/converter to convert to Constant Frame Rate

    I was capturing direct to Elements Premiere. That showed about a half second discrepancy between the video and the soundtrack. The soundtrack lagged. F I use the Windows software to do the capture the sound and video are synced and remain so when I imported them into Premiere. The computer saves them as mp4 files. It also is higher quality that trying to capture directly into Premiere Elements. I just thought I could capture directly but I do not get accepted results when doing that. The mp4 file import is higher quality and video and sound are in sync.
