Tiny Gaps in Vegas Timeline
Hi. When I’m done with an edit in Sony Vegas 11 there are sometimes tiny, sub-frame sized gaps throughout. I know that when I’m inserting clips I’m inserting at the end of the previous one. Often times doing L/J cuts. Every gap seems to be the exact same size of .2 frames. Does anyone know why this happens and how to stop it from happening?

Do you have quantize to frames turned on? If you have it turned off while editing, but then turn it on, events that you haven’t placed on exact frames will be sort of stuck in that small region between frames, though the fix is as simple as dragging clips/changing their length.

Yea it sounds like you’ve disabled quantize to frames which would cause fractional frame gaps.

I thought leaving quantize to frames enabled is a no-no and can result in audio sync issues, or have I got it wrong?

Yes, I do have it enabled. Should I not?

Quantized to frames should always be on unless you are making an audio only recording. If you place video on the timeline without having quantized to frames on, you are going to have problems.

Maybe it was off and got turned on halfway through somehow. Thanks for the info!

I’ve recently discovered something about those gaps and the frame not hitting the framed mark but falling in the middle.
You can move the audio independently from the video anywhere between the frame and it will stick and not snap to the frame marker. This is good especially when you are trying to remove a click or something. However, when you then move the video it will snap to where the audio event is which sometimes happens to be in the middle of one frame.

I always turn quant2frame off when aligning my video tracks in order to sync the audio to the master track. Then I turn it back on. I have not seen any little gaps though.
