What do you mean by delay, video and audio are out of sync? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Integrated mic should be in sync with the video, the best would be to check the camera manual, or website for solution. But if you connect your guitar directly to sound card, then it's common to have it out of sync, you can adjust it later in some video editing sofware. And the real problem appears if one of these (audio or video) is faster or slower, it happens mostly when audio is recorded in mp3 format, instead of wave You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If it's not synchronized you can drag the movie file in GarageBand. GB will split audio and video and you can adjust both. I have a MacBook Pro with internal camera and used it quite a lot. GarageBand for audio and iMovie for video using iSight camera. With this workflow i needed to synchronize both afterwards anyway in iMovie, you can import the GarageBand file in iMovie. It worked, but the video quality is going down while recording both at the same time a lot of blur and missing frames, with a lot of light its better, bit not really. Now i use a normal sony photo camera with video function, and the result is better ... but still a temporary solution at the moment. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I agree, but we can have another problem as well, when there are lost frames.. that cannot be solved even manually You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I have been researching and it sounds like it is a problem with the camera itself. I'll just keep using my laptop!! Thanks for the help guys!!

Monte If you mean it is out of sync it is fairly easy to fix...i just export the audio as a Wav file and then import it back in so that the audio (new wav file) and video are separate (you have to mute the video's audio too). Then i can match them up to be perfect (or fairly close). however if your camera simply doesn't capture some seconds im not sure how to fix it (although i find everything runs smoother the less programs i have running) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
