premiere pro audio out of sync with video
HeyBraza points at the sequence frame-rate mismatch and the synchronize option that realigns your audio.
when audio slowly drifts out of sync, it's usually a frame-rate mismatch between your footage and the sequence - not a one-off slip. here's how to fix the root cause and re-align a clip that's already off.
short answer
mismatched frame rates are the usual cause: confirm sequence settings match your footage, and if they don't, build a new sequence by dragging a clip onto the 'new item' icon so the settings match exactly. for one drifting clip, right-click > synchronize and choose 'audio'.
or do it yourself
- 1right-click your sequence in the project panel → 'sequence settings' and confirm the frame rate matches your footage (e.g. both 29.97 or both 25).
- 2if they differ, create a new sequence by dragging a clip onto the 'new item' icon so the settings match the footage exactly.
- 3for a single off clip, select its video and audio, right-click → 'synchronize' and choose 'audio' to realign them.
- 4if it's only slightly off, unlink the clip (right-click → 'unlink') and nudge the audio a few frames with the arrow keys.
- 5re-export a short section to confirm the lips and sound line up before rendering everything.

why does my audio drift further out of sync over time?
that progressive drift is a frame-rate mismatch between the clip and the sequence - match them and the drift disappears.
