Hello,

I have FINALLY got Windows Live Movie Maker to work again on Windows 10 after hours of stress.
Now the videos are working, I am syncing and editing multiple shots of a live video to the MP3 recording of the performance.

The problem is, when I am trying to sync the clips with the audio (it needs to be precise as it is music), whenever I play the section to see if it's synced up, it goes out of sync and the video lags or races compared to the MP3. The only way I can actually check is to go right back to the beginning of the video and watch it through to the point I'm trying to get right.

As you can imagine, this will take days as every time I tweak a clip by 0.03 seconds I have to watch through 3 minutes of footage just to get there again, only to tweak it again and repeat the whole process!

Does anyone have any advice on how I can stop this glitch? Otherwise I just don't see how I'll be able to continue the project, and I'm on a deadline.

Thanks,

Holly
