Syncing Flash Video Audio

The issue:

pro-tip-sync-flash-video-audioI was on a project in Adobe Flash that required the use of video. The Flash movie was 24 Frames Per Second (FPS) and the video 30 FPS. When played back (Control > Test Movie) the audio in the video turned out to be way out of sync.

The solution:

This may seem like a no-brainer, but in order to sync the video’s audio, both the Flash movie and the video need to be at the same FPS, in this case 30 FPS. I made this change in the Flash movie and bang!! Still employed.

Move One Pixel Increments in PowerPoint

The issue:

In any other program i tend to rely on the keyboard’s arrow keys to move objects around the canvas. In most cases, if not all, this would involve moving the object in one pixel increments. NOT the case in Microsoft PowerPoint. Why?!!!

The solution:

In PowerPoint use Ctrl/Cmd + the Arrow keys to move your objects in one pixel increments.
