Readme:
This program attempts to sync your movies by changing the framerate of sections of the video track(s), or changing the offset of the audio track. Every time you change the framerate, it (probably) makes the movie a little harder to play back for Quicktime, so try to make as few changes as possible to sync your movie. To clarify, the Anchors and the Edits are different. Entering a number to change the movie is an Edit. Adding anchors has no effect on the final movie (so add as many as you like). Also, removing all anchors does not make the movie snap back to the way it started (what it does is make the next Edit affect the entire movie instead of just the time between anchors, which you've removed). Clear enough?
Suggested Action:
1. In the Sync menu, select Match Tracks (command-M). This makes the video equal length with the audio.
2. If that does not work, go to the first scene in the movie where you can tell it's off sync. adjust until it's in sync (enter a number and hit "Return"). go to the last point in the scene that's still in sync, and click the "Anchor This Point" button.
3. Go to the last scene in the movie where you can tell it's off sync. adjust until it's in sync. go to the first point in that scene that's still in sync, and click "Anchor This Point".
4. In the Sync menu, select "Jump to Suggested Scene" (option command J). This jumps to the middle of the longest section between anchors. If it's in sync, add an anchor and repeat. If not, adjust it, and anchor just before the first in sync point in the scene, and just after the last in sync point in the scene. Keep jumping until you're satisfied.
There seems to be a bug that freezes the program if you jump to a place in a movie with audio but no video (like if you open a movie, input that the video is ahead, then scrub back to the beginning of the movie). So try to avoid doing this and save your work frequently.
I keep forgetting to mention that this app only uses the quicktime framework, and since quicktime is inexplicably crippled with regard to MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 media, it probably won't work correctly with such files. You can convert these files to Quicktime's native format using Quicktime Pro, DiVA, MediaPipe, or ffmpegX (followed by Divx Doctor if you created an AVI). To extract the audio you'll either need MediaPipe or bbDemux followed by iTunes. To use iTunes to convert m1a or m2a audio you need to change the name to mp2 and delete any file type/creator codes.
