Question

Matching Sound To Video

I just purchased Elements 2021 and I am trying to match my other recorded sound to a video.

 

I of course clapped on video twice so that i could match the recorded sound exactly.  But in my Elements editor it is very troublesome tring to drage the audio along to match the video.  If I move it in fine adjustments it is always slightly out either to the right or left of the marker when magnified to maxium for exactness.

 

How do I match sound and video exactly?

Elements does not have dual system audio syncing.

This might help

Thank you Ann.

 

I am quite shocked.  It is 2021 and I just purchased a 'video editor' where I cannot match up external recorded sound to produce videos.  In fact I have to guess where the sound goes and then hope for the best or use another program and watch Youtube.

 

Who uses on camera recorded sound today?  Possibly somebody doing their first ever video.

 

Can I get a refund for this video editor which doesnt actually edit the video?  Well it 'almost does' I suppose.

If you want a refund, you need to contact the vendor you bought the software from. That means contact Adobe Customer Care via chat if you bought directly from Adobe. This is a user to user forum and we can't be of much help there.

 

But if you're saying your unsatisfied witha  consumer video editor because it's designed primarily consumer video, I'm not sure what to tell you. Whether you're shooting on an AVCHD camcorder, GoPro, a phone or some other consumer video recorder, the audio is included as part of the video clip. If you're shooting Hollywood style, with the audio recorded by a separate device and you're syncing audio and video in post production, you really should consider a professional program for working with that type of workflow. These under $150 video editors are designed for us plain vanilla video types.
