Thanks for this, Einar, and this point now has me most puzzled for a
number of reasons - the first being is that I produced 4 parts of the
series and they all look excellent when played back with, say, VLC; it
is the 5th part which is causing me hassles.
The real hassle I have with this is that I looked at the manual again
and what you say is correct which then leads one to ask the question: of
what use is the Audio Offset when the it is not taken into account when
the file is rendered? Its only use appears to be to make you view a file
in Cinelerra *only* so that its video and audio are in sync. But this
only leads to the wrong outcome in the rendered file.
OK, there is the facility to *nudge* the audio to sync with the video.
But any nudging starts off on the wrong foot because the Audio Offset is
operating and so while you think that the video and audio are in sync on
the timeline the final render will be out of sync because the Audio
Offset is ignored.
If my understanding of things is as I just mentioned then the use of the
Audio Offset is a waste of time and one should simply edit a file with
Audio Offset = 0.000 and only use the Nudge facility to synchronise
video/audio.
Am I misunderstanding things?
I have looked at many tutorials on YouTube re Cinlelerra and I cannot
see any of them covering this matter. (And the manual is more confusing
than helpful in many instances - it seems that it was thrown together
just for the sake of producing a manual to be read by someone who
already knows all about Cinlelerra.)
