Blender VSE Renders audio/video out of sync I've seen a few other posts in various places about this problem. But having tried all the ones I've found I'm not sure what else to do. 

My problem is that Blender renders my video out of sync with the audio. But it happens somewhat randomly. It's really annoying to find that every other video I render is very out of sync. 

It's very simple footage too. Just footage of a game from my PC. Nothing complicated. 

Now I'm sure I'm importing at the correct frame rate, it's at the correct resolution, and my frame range is right. 

I've tried using all of the different timecode options, and not using it at all. Nothing seems to help. But I'm still new to using Blender as a video editor so I must be missing something. I also don't really understand what the different time code options are doing.

I didn't realize I couldn't edit my comments. I tried again with OBS and it still just records a black screen no matter what I do. 

I should mention that I use Bandicam to record, with the "YouTube Preset". Which uses the Xvid codec.

@gdquest The addons you suggested seem to have solved this problem perfectly. As well as making editing a breeze. Thank you!
I edit videos almost daily with Blender, but I never faced your issue.

I highly recommend giving Blender Velvets a try. The Velvet Revolver add-on allows you to transcode all of your footage to an editing-friendly video format, using FFMPEG. It also makes editing in Blender much more efficient, but that's another story! I recommend that you use the MJPEG format with Revolver, prores is way too heavy.



Most video editing software out there only support a limited set of codecs for technical reasons, and you can have issues editing with videos that use the h264 codec. The lovely compression it provides comes at a cost: your video's frames are not available individually in the movie file, making it hard to decode, hard to split frames... so your issue is most likely due to that.

I hope it'll help, and if it doesn't, could you upload a blender file with a sample of the incriminated footage?

Kind regards,
Nathan.
