Synchronizing audio with video

If the audio track of the video file falls out of sync with the video, due to trimming or movement of the video event, right-click the audio event and, from the context menu, select Synchronize with Video. This works only for the audio from the video file. If the file has remained a One-Shot (as it probably should), this will move the file back into sync. If the audio Track Type has been changed to Beatmapped, and the project tempo has changed, the audio file will be moved back in sync and the tempo will be changed to one tbat allows the audio to be exactly synced with the video for its duration, which is the original tempo of the project when the video event was inserted. 

While the video event must remain whole, the audio event associated with the video can be split, trimmed, moved, and otherwise processed just as any other One-Shot. Each individual event can be moved independently and can, therefore, be moved out of sync. These individual events can be moved back into sync, individually, by right-clicking and selecting Synchronize with Video. 

Syncing Synchronizing an audio track with a video sequence. 

In some cases, due to hardware issues, the video on the External Monitor might not be synchronized with the audio, which is obviously a critical issue in ACID. You should be very wary of this potential problem. If you notice that the video in the Video window in AQD is precisely synced with your audio, but the video on the external monitor is not, you can change the Sync offset to bring the video back in line. 

ACID is not a video-editing application bnt shonld be thought of instead primarily as a scoring tool. Because of this, ACID s video features are robust but simple. Tbis section will introduce you to adding video to AQD projects and working with that video, tii addition, we ll look at some of the more complex featnres that allow yon to precisely synchronize video to audio, right down to matching action to tempo.
