Hello, I am using MCEBuddy to clip out the first 6 seconds of a video and the last 7 seconds. I am also having it snip out the marked commercials. Then having it stitch things back together without re-encoding.
This is sometimes leading to the audio being out of sync by a small amount. It does not do this for every video, but maybe 1 out of 4-5 videos.
This seems to have started happening after upgrading to the latest version of the software but can’t be sure.
What should I do to troubleshoot this? Would log files be helpful?

Yes log files are always helpful to see what’s going on.
Also try this:

> Right, I do see that now, you’re using Custom Cuts which generates an EDL file which is processed by MCEBuddy. Possibly ffmpeg is having an issue with the timestamps. Try adding this to your profile CommercialMergeTool=avidemux This makes MCEBuddy use [avidemux](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/mcebuddy-advanced-settings-commands-and-tweaking/30/1#commercialmergetool) instead of ffmpeg to cut segments and is more stable for some videos which has timing issues.
