Audio drifting out of sync after export is one of the most frustrating CapCut issues—especially when the timeline preview looks perfectly aligned. This usually happens due to encoding delays, incorrect project settings, or hardware-related lag during rendering.

Why This Happens

Common technical reasons include:

• Variable Frame Rate (VFR) recordings – Many phones record in VFR, but CapCut exports in Constant Frame Rate (CFR), causing audio to drift.
• Hardware bottlenecks – Low RAM or high CPU usage can cause CapCut to render frames unevenly.
• Incorrect timeline FPS settings – If your project uses mixed FPS clips, audio may desync during export.
• Background audio processing – AI audio effects or auto-normalization can cause minor shifts.

---

Technical Fixes

1. Convert Videos to Constant Frame Rate (CFR) Before Importing

CapCut works best with CFR.

You can use HandBrake (free):

• Open HandBrake → Import your video
• Set Video → Framerate → Constant (CFR)
• Export
• Re-import into CapCut

This instantly fixes 70% of sync problems.
