Talley, did you accidentally "stretch" the video at any point in the sequence? Or is there a default setting somewhere during initial "new file" creation for "30-second project lengths" or something similar? That might explain it. (I'm not wording it exactly right, but hopefully you get my drift.) Also, definitely go with Bobasaur's suggestion, Pro Tools Free rocks. However - the Windows version has some minor glitches, unlike the Mac version. On Windows, I use both Sonic Foundry's Vegas Video and the lower-end Video Factory, and the sync precision is awesome and consistent. You can check it out at www.sonicfoundry.com --Donnie
