I made a new release but there is still an audio sync issue that needs to be fixed.

If you want you can try this ‘beta’ release. The next official release should be 1.1.

Changes in 1.0.2:

  • Add a manual stitching option
  • Fixed a bug that caused stitching jobs to fail on macOS when audio is enabled
  • Fixed a bug that caused the program to hang when there are too few stitching points
  • Fixed a bug that caused the program to hang after closing the About dialog
  • Preserve fractional fps values in source videos (instead of rounding up to integers)

Good morning. I am trying out a new Mac M4 Mini and after 2 games I am noticing that the audio is pretty out of sync right from the get go. It doesn’t seem to be out of sync on my PC, or if it is it is just barely. The Mac is pretty bad. If there is still an issue with this, do you know of a way to easily shift the audio with a separate program? It is pretty distracting to try and watch it with it this far out.

I would recommend Davinci Resolve. It can be very intimidating, but there are many youtube videos that give an excellent run down for very basic editing in about 30 minutes, then youtube search anything you want to do afterwards. Shifting the audio is one think you can do relatively easy.

How fast does the M4 Mini stitch? For reference, a 50 minute game with 5.3k footage for me takes about 10-11hrs on my M2. Wondering if its worth bumping up to something with more horsepower.

I do own a full paid version of Davinci. I was looking for an easier way than having to go this route as my workflow is now-
Actionstitch (combine) - Once (ball tracking)- Davinci (syncing audio) - Handbrake (RE compressing after Davinci). It’s just very time consuming to have to go through all of these steps for the final outcome.

PS, the M4 does a 90 minute full frame 8x7 @5.6k with a resolution around 7300x3500 in about 9 hours. Lower resolution is off course faster.

Thanks for the info.

My work flow is similar. I use Actionstitch and Once as well. I haven’t had too much issue with audio sync, but I do seem to believe it has something to do with which camera is first to record and then whether you choose to get audio from left or right on Mac. I’ve been lucky lately as only a couple have had that issue. I do my best to start the recordings as close together as possible. This has helped lately.

Do you feel there’s degradation of video quality somewhere between Actionstitch and Once? I always feel like my raw video files, particularly when you pause them have excellent resolution and then somewhere in the workflow I feel there’s significant degradation.
