Posts: 50 		My video is only 22 seconds long. It looks fine when I look at it in the timeline but when I render it, the lip sync is way off. I see that someone else had this issue, but their video was much longer and the dialogue more complex. I have straight dialogue and my video's so short, I didn't expect to have this issue. Is there any way to fix this?

I rebooted the computer and rendered it again. The results weren't any better. The more I review the video, the worse the lip sync issue gets. If anyone can help me with this, I'd really appreciate it.

Before you render go to the timeline view and press the "jump to the start" button. Then press play and make sure that the whole thing is in sync. When you are adjusting keep reviewing from by using "jump to the start" rather than from where you paused. Do this in unlit mode as well It's the stop start that puts the review/edit process out of sync. I have never seen it where you can review the shot from the start and it looks OK all the way through and then then renders differently.

Posts: 50 		I thought I hit the "jump to the start" button before I went to render. I know there were times when I was working on the video that I didn't. But maybe this was the issue. Next time I rendered the video, it worked! Thanks for your help

Posts: 975 		Great Deedee. Just for clarification you don't need to hit jump to the start before you render - it will render exactly as you have set the speak/no speak markers. The issue is that when you are setting these unless you always review from the start of the clip by hitting "jump to start" you will set these in the wrong places as the audio tends to wander about.

Hope this makes sense.

deedee23, can I please ask which version of Muvizu you were using? As ukBerty said, we've tried to improve the syncing in the latest (v1.1) version. If this is the version you're using, it sounds like we need to take another look at it.
