Anyone who's watched my videos knows that I don't have a high standard for professionalism. But having the video and the audio in sync is my minimum. It ruins the whole video if the audio is out of sync by even a couple seconds.
It might be that this is more of a problem with the videos I trimmed under the old editor (before Youtube switched to Beta), but until I can figure this out for sure, I'm going to stop using Youtube trim altogether.
I know it's annoying to have those 2-5 seconds of me turning the camera on and setting the camera up at the beginning of every video. But it's not worth it to me to mess around with it if its going to result in the audio being out of sync on a lot of my videos.
* Marx's Das Kapital: A Biography by Francis Wheen: Book Review (Scripted) Video Published: December 27, 2019 Noticed Problem: October 30, 2020--I went into editor. In editor the sync is actually okay. I could also get trim to work this time, so I trimmed it a bit more to see if that would result in it playing properly. Update December 30, 2020. Just checked on it now, still out of sync. It's playing fine in editor though. I fooled around with it again in trim to see if that will help anything again.

Editing:

Resolved:
* Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton by Edward Rice: Book Review (Scripted)--This one seems to have resolved itself. Not sure if it resolved itself on its own, or if this was a matter of me fiddling around with the editor.
* Romeo x Juliet: Anime Series Review (Scripted) Video Published: September 12, 2019 Noticed Problem: July 23, 2020--I fooled around with Youtube editor on July 23, 2020.

This list is going to be only of interest to me. (Sorry about that. I know I shouldn't really do this on a public blog--annoying for my readers and all that. But this blog is often the easiest place for me to keep track of things.)
It's a list of my Youtube videos where the audio doesn't sync with the video--at least on my computer.
These are all videos that I've trimmed in Youtube editor.
Youtube doesn't have much of an editing program. (I read somewhere that it used to be more extensive, but that they canned it because barely anyone was using it.) But you can trim out the beginning or ending of your videos. The first 2-5 seconds of each of my videos is always me turning on the camera and setting it down, so I've been using Youtube editor to trim that part out.
In a few of the videos, it looks like this has resulted in only the audio getting trimmed out, and not the video. (That's not the way it's supposed to work, but apparently it's a glitch.) I've caught it in 3 of my videos so far.
The first one I noticed eventually fixed itself. (I was also fiddling with it in Youtube editor-- maybe that helped? I don't really remember what I did though.
The second one I caught hasn't fixed itself yet, and I can't really do much in Youtube editor. (It shows the trim function, but won't let me use it--Youtube has recently updated to a new Beta version, so that new program may explain the glitches?)
Then I caught a 3rd one, and at this point I thought I should start keeping track of the ones I find.
I'm want to keep track of them, because:
* If at some point I figure out how to fix this, I want to remember which videos to fix.
* I want to try to figure out the scope of the problem, and which videos it affects (Is it effecting videos trimmed on the old editor only, or in the Beta editor)? If it turns out this is a big problem, and if it's also a problem with the new Beta editor, I may just stop trimming off the first 2-5 seconds of my videos. I mean, those few seconds fiddling with the camera at the beginning of every video are annoying to watch, but not nearly as as annoying as having the whole audio out of sync.
