Sound sync issues with Zoom/YouTube videos?

PostTue Jul 20, 2021 4:21 pm

I am seeing sound sync issues when I try to edit some videos downloaded from Youtube. I've mostly seen the problem with videos of recorded Zoom live-streams

The symptom is that when I load the video into DaVinci Resolve the sound is out of sync with the video, sometimes by 10's of minutes on a long video. If I play the video in Quicktime, or load it into iMovie, the sound sync is fine.

It is possible that it's related to the fact that the audio tracks seem to be 22/44.1K rather than 48K, see below.

I've tried changing the sound settings in Project Settings, both before and after importing the video file with no effect.

I _think_ this may have started with one of the latest version 17 upgrades. I don't recall any issues like this under version 16, and I think the original 17 release may have been fine (but don't remember for sure).

Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this problem? Other than using iMovie to edit these videos, which is my current workaround
