Movement and Snapping

Postby BuddyB » Sun Mar 16, 2014 10:38 am

This happens for me in 10 and 13. Let's say I want to size a clip precisely. When I try to bring it in I cannot match the leading edge nor trailing edge of the clip to the "second" lines. I've turned off all snapping, tried Ctrl, Alt and Shift dragging and nothing works. The lead edge and/or the trailing edge will go over or under the line just a tad. Is there a refinement setting I'm missing here? I've also notice that when I place the cursor directly on top of a line and left click it will always be slightly to the right of the line. Is this a Sony issue with Vegas and Movie studio, or am I just missing somethings?

I'm not sure, Buddy. With Snapping turned on, it should do exactly what you describe.

Does it make a difference if you've got the timeline's Grid turned on? (Right-click on the top of the Timeline, select Grid Spacing, then set it to Seconds.)

Steve, it does the same with Snapping on or off. I've got the Timeline set to Seconds and it still performs the same. The one thing I that I noticed is that after it lands the few pixels to the left or right I can left/right arrow the PlayHead dead on. Am I imagining things or when you hold the Alt key down you get smaller increments of movement? With a clip selected and in Ripple it would be great if you could move the Video line with the Arrow keys. :)

When I zoom into my timeline with snapping and the seconds gridline turned on, I can get it to snap to 1-second increments.

Have you tried zooming in very close and then placing your clip?

No I haven't, but I just did, and it works beautifully; actually you can move it anywhere you need within that one second. Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much. :) Slight correction. On zooming in it does dead on 1 second intervals, but not exactly on each of the 4 marks between. Must be pixels which are not exactly 1/4 of an inch..whew.

This sounds like something I am struggling with, you be the judge. I completed a VF file in Movie Studio 12, and rendered it and burned it to a Blu ray. When I watched it later I noticed during a close up of a person speaking that the sound and the video were not synchronized. The video was slightly ahead of the video. Try as I might for several hours, I did not get the problem corrected. My guess is the audio and the video were off by 1 second. What is the most painless way to fix this? By th way in the VF file there are numerous audio clips on the same time line, and the video is an hour long.
Thanks Jeff,

That's not at all related to this topic, Jeffrey.

But some video sources can transcode with the audio a little off. It depends on which model of camcorder the video came from and which codecs it uses.

The only thing I can say for sure is that my issue is corrected. It appears the PlayHead movement is the same whether in basic TimeLine mode or Zoomed in, making it appear larger in normal mode. You can articulate your movements of events with so close to dead-on that it might as well be. It never dawned on me to Zoom. That is so cool that I may get up and do a Celtic dance, after all it is St Patrick's Day.

Excellent to hear Buddy, I am glad you were able to sort out the problem. Your solution has me wondering about the issue I am having with my video not being synchronized with the audio. I think I need to go back to my VF file in Movie Studio Platinum 12, then zoom in on the timeline, maybe it would be easier to line up. Does this sound like it would work? Open question to anyone.
Thanks Jeff,

Probably not, Jeffrey. Not unless the audio track and video somehow got separated and kicked out of sync.

As I said above, most out of sync issues are related to the format of the video. And, if that's the case, trying to manually sync them up can drive you crazy!

Are you sure you don't want to start your own topic so we can explore it further?

You've got me curious now :). Say the video and audio got separated/ungrouped, or whatever, shouldn't you be able to align left the two and they'd be back in sync? Sorry to compound this Steve, but it just got me to thinking and that's dangerous. :conf:

BuddyB, there's a good chapter on Repairing audio/video synchronization offsets in online Help (F1).
