MGI VideoWave4 Audio Problems

[usagisailor]

Hey there!
First post here, just wanted to get a question answered. I own the full version of MGI VideoWave4, and my sound is kinda screwy. When I put a song on the first clip (or any clip for that matter), the song stops about a second or two into the next clip. In other words, it won't play throughout the rest of the video, unless I put the song in at the last part, which I don't want to do for video syncing purposes. Such as, if there's a guitar strum at one point, I want the scene to change at that certain point. But without the music there I can't do it! Help!!!

I haven't heard any good things about MGI VideoWave although I know some people have used it. A few years ago I tried version 3 and wrote it off as hopeless. It would never keep the video and audio in synch.

If you've got money to spend (?!), you might want to look at Sony's Screenblast Movie Studio. It's on sale this week at CompUSA for $75, or $50 if you mail in the rebate form.

If you don't have $$$...maybe Windows Movie Maker. There are people here who can help with that one.

Money? HA! I'm afraid it's in rather short supply, with Bush's economy (or lack thereof) affecting job outlooks. I've been unemployed since May.

So is the Windows Movie Maker free? I'll have to check it out. And the MGI thing was pretty hopeless in its 3rd version, but it's a lot better in MGI 4.

On a side note, the first thing I'm gonna try to do is make a stop motion animation video starring my newly given SD Gundams, the Zako (I know it's Zaku, but it said Zako on the box) and Deathscythe. Zaku Zaku!!!

Ugh... would you believe that I downloaded a 12 meg file for that program on a 56k modem...

AND I ALREADY HAD IT!

But hey, I'm using it now, and that's all that matters. (Came with my Windows XP, duh...) Thanks for the advice.
