Tried to edit a glitch out of my livestream and made it ten times worse
I was doing a local news segment here in Austin last week about the new food truck regulations, and this weird audio echo kept popping in every 10 seconds. Thought I fixed it in Premiere by trimming the waveform, but it ended up desyncing the whole clip so my mouth moved 3 seconds after my words. So which is the bigger blooper - the original echo or the botched edit job? Anyone else accidentally wreck their own video trying to fix one tiny mistake?

Actually trimming waveforms shouldn't cause desync you just shifted the clip on the timeline accidentally.

Wait, are you talking about trimming a clip that's already in the timeline or trimming the source file before you even import it? Because I've definitely had a weird desync happen after I trimmed a clip that had a separate audio track linked to it, and I thought I just screwed something up. Curious if that's the same kind of thing you mean or if you're talking about a whole different workflow.

Man trimming waveforms shouldn't cause desync unless you're pulling on the audio file without locking it to the video track first. Premiere actually keeps them synced by default if they're grouped together properly. You probably nudged the clip timeline by accident or trimmed the wrong side of the clip.
