<p>I imported several MP4 screen recordings (using Windows Game Recording) into Premiere Pro to edit together, but I noticed all but one of the clips in the timeline have unsynced audio issues. </p>

<p>Does anyone know a fix for this to somehow edit together files with different bitrates in a way that wont change its playback speed? </p>

Video and audio tracks having different bitrates shouldn't affect sync (as far as I know).  Audio is usually recorded at a lower bitrate than audio because it requires less information to be stored
