How to Fix Audio Sync Issues When Editing in Adobe Premiere
Using oCam at work or school? A license is required, and it removes all ads, including this window. See the paid version →
oCam is set to use Variable Frame Rate (VFR) mode by default, which allows it to adjust the frame rate flexibly depending on system performance and the recording environment. This setting is advantageous for efficient use of system resources, but it can cause compatibility issues with certain video editing software.
In particular, in professional editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, when loading a video file recorded with Variable Frame Rate, the irregular frame intervals may cause the audio and video to go out of sync. To fix this, you should change the setting in oCam to Constant Frame Rate (CFR) before recording.
To set it to Constant Frame Rate, follow these steps:
1. In the oCam main window, click 'Tools' in the top menu, then select 'Options'.
2. When the Settings window opens, go to the 'Recording' tab in the left menu.
3. In the 'Recording' tab, find the 'General' section and check the 'Frame Rate Mode' option.
4. Change the frame rate mode from 'Variable Frame Rate' to 'Constant Frame Rate'.
5. Click the 'OK' button to save the setting.
After changing to Constant Frame Rate and recording again, the frame intervals in the video will remain consistent, which can resolve audio and video sync issues in editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro. This setting is especially essential for users who plan to edit videos and provides a more stable editing environment. After changing the setting, restart oCam and make a test recording to confirm that the result plays back correctly.

How to Change the File Name of Saved Recordings, Audio Recordings, or Captures
Click Tools - Options in the top menu of oCam.
Then click the Save tab on the left to set the file name for saved files.
By default, files are saved in the following format.
<Prefix>_<YYYY_MM_DD_HH_NN_SS_Z>
The text inside the <> brackets uses special keywords. These keywords can represent the prefix, date, serial number, program name, user ID, and user name.
With the default settings, when recording starts and then finishes, the file is saved in the format Recording_2015_05_07_14_22_41_791. If you only want to change the word Recording at the beginning, you can change it as follows.
Test_<YYYY_MM_DD_HH_NN_SS_Z>
If you do this, the file will be saved in the format Test_2015_05_07_14_22_41_791 after recording is completed.
If you want to add a serial number after Test instead of the date,
set it to Test_<#>, and it will be saved as Test_1... Test_2 ... Test_3...................... Test_10.
