Video and Audio not synced after export

@Timm - glad you found that works - but before you upload it to Youtube - I just did some testing with this audio lag problem and found something unexpected.

Testing went like this:

  1. I recorded myself playing the piano keyboard. Recording made with panasonic HC-V 180 camcorder. During recording, I recorded the sound in Cubase, then mixed-down the output to MP3.

  2. Imported the Panasonic .MTS file and the Cubase MP3 file into Shotcut. Muted the original Panasonic sound. Aligned the MP4 and the MP3 tracks to create perfect synchronisation.

  3. Exported the video as an MP4 using the default setting in Shotcut.

  4. Played the exported MP4 in Windows Media Player (Windows 10). Result - a slight audio lag (slight but noticeable).

BUT THEN:
5. Played the same MP4 in PotPlayer. Result: NO LAG.

  1. Uploaded the same MP4 file to Youtube. NO LAG.

So I’m wondering if the problem is nothing to do with the Shotcut export but with Windows Media Player?

Perhaps could @Timm confirm whether he/she used WMP to test the their footage?

Also is there anyone else out there who may like to test my file on a variety of players (including WMP) to see whether the lag exists for them? I’ve put it on GoogleDrive:

PS - info for @DvS - yes, I set the sound of my keyboard to a Yamaha DX7 sound (it’s actually a DX7 soundfont …) I was inspired to do this after reading your post -
