How to correctly import video files with audio delay setting?

vbencev wrote on 11/1/2019, 8:42 AM

When I check the MTS files that my Canon camcorder records in Mediainfo, I can see that in the Audio info it is written in case of every of them: "Delay relative to video: -80ms"

You can see a screenshot here about this: https://postimg.cc/pyf8VT3Y

In case I import these files to Sony Vegas, will Vegas adjust the delay automatically and place the audio and video correctly on the timeline, or after adding the video to the timeline, I should shift the audio manually with 80 ms?

Use a clapperboard and decide for yourself whether it's worth using a brain cell over. Place your video on the Vegas timeline and check if the video and audio lines up enough to suit you. In more than a decade of using Vegas Pro, I have rarely shifted the audio of the source files for any reason. I've used many different cameras and other sources.

Though you can buy them cheap, I have my favorite clapperboard.

That file was also an .MTS from a Sony camcorder.

.mts metadata is fully compatible with Vegas, for almost twenty years. Unless you see a sync issue in your final video, it's best to leave track alignment alone. Always try it on a variety of players and reduce the bitrate first if you suspect a problem.

All interframe video is susceptible to sync issues, AVC transport streams by far being the worst.
