Hello!

When editing drill, if I start the playback anywhere but the beginning of the show, the drill and music are out of sync. From the start of the show, it works perfectly. When I start at any set other than 1 the music doesn't align like it does when I start from the top.

I have made this short video to help explain it better https://youtu.be/wndYGrJo_MU

Hi dgwallac,

This is an issue that we've seen before. The problem seems to be with audio files with higher resolutions, which affects where the music starts playback when starting part way through the music. The solution is to use an MP3 with a bitrate of 128kbps or lower.

There are tools online now that will let you do that, as well as many desktop applications. Here is one that I found online that I have not tested:

Personally I've used Audacity on desktop for many years.

Have a great day!
