Problem with synchronizing audio with a video in iMovie, audio exported from Logic X

Hi, Vladokarp,

It can be problematic when audio and audio/video have been recorded on different devices. Trying to sync them can be difficult. It's a common problem.

Try control clicking on a clip and selecting Show Speed Editor from the drop down menu. That will reveal a speed adjustment slider in the upper right corner of the clip. Put your cursor on the slider and drag it slightly left to speed up the clip and slightly right to slow it down. You might be able to toggle the speed editors for the two or three clips that you have to get them in sync. You might have to do a split at certain points if necessary to get the sync right. It makes it easier to edit if you expand out your timeline with the slider next to the Settings Button above the timeline to the right of your screen.

Otherwise, you would need to get an audio editing app to work with the clips to vary their speeds slightly.

That's correct. Once a project is set at a specific resolution, it cannot be changed.

What you can do is create a new project and place a known 1080p video clip (not photo) into the timeline as the very first clip added to the project. That will set the project at 1080p. Then, going back to the old project, do an Edit/Select All, Edit/Copy, of the media in it, and Edit/Paste it into the timeline of the new project.

You can delete the first clip that you added once the resolution is set and the project resolution will not change even if you add clips with a different resolution to the project.

Happy to help. Glad it worked for you. :)
