  • Urgent! Commit audio envelopes?

    Posted by Jerzy Drozda jr on October 11, 2007 at 6:11 am

    Hi. It’s my first time on Vegas.
    I tried to find an answer to this question but came up with nothing.

    I just edited the audio envelopes for my project in vegas, and I’d like to render the WAV file to edit it in Audition, but when I render just the audio, or the audio and video it looks like the sound stays unaffected by the envelopes.

    Any idea how to deal with this?
    Thanks

    If you’re using a volume envelope and render to a WAV (or any other type) file, it will have those adjustments in the final render.

    Are you saying that when you look at the waveform prior to adding the volume envelope and then render the audio with the envelope into a new audio file and look at the wave form of the new audio file that the old wave form and the new wave form are exactly alike?

    That is exactly what I’m saying. What shall I do?
    I used the Shift+P and Shift+V to create envelopes, and then
    used V and P to hide/show them in the project window.

    It’s my first time in Vegas, so maybe I’m doing something wrong,
    but I just can’t see that that might be.

    I cannot duplicate your issue. Here’s what I did:

    1. Added a WAV file to the timeline
    2. Played back the timeline to get a base reading
    3. Pressed “V” to get the volume envelope and then lowered the volume
    4. Played back the timeline and confirmed a lower volume level
    5. Pressed “V” to hide the volume envelope
    6. Played back the timeline and continued to get the lower volume level
    7. Toggled the volume envelope back and forth several times and continued to always get the lower level.

    Ok, here’s an update: If you do a “SHIFT-V” to “hide” the envelope (maybe by accident or something), it will RESET the envelope to the default.

    Personally, I see no reason to use the “SHIFT” variation as “V” works just fine by itself. I also typically don’t hide it once I start using it.

    OK, next question-
    When you apply the volume envelope and make your adjustment and you play back the timeline do you hear your adjustment. That is if you adjustetd your volume down in a spot do you hear the volume decrease at that spot when you PLAY FROM THE TIMELINE.

    I did press Shift+V by accident one time, but from that moment on I was using only V and P. And when I play the thing in the timeline window everything is ok. Only when I Render the WAV file it’s the same as the original one.

    Man, I wish I could help you since you helped me many a time with After Effects stuff. I don’t use Vegas though only Premiere Pro CS3.

    I cannot duplicate your problem here. Perhaps if we could see your VEG file. But, at this point, I’m definitely not seeing this issue with Vegas here.
