Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Time of video clip

  • Time of video clip

    Hi,

    I feel kinda silly asking such a basic question as I’ve been using Vegas for years. But I really can’t figure this one out.

    I have a project with several video clips. The video clips are edits of LONG avi’s.

    I have one particular clip that I’d like to locate the time within the avi file that the clip begins and ends (I want to trim just that section to use in after effects).

    For example, I’d like Vegas to tell me, “The clip of video that you have selected begins at 1:15:02.000 in your avi and extends to 1:16:00.000.”

    I’ve tried right clicking and tried properties, but none of the tabs seem to have the info I’m looking for.

    I’ll probably work around it and just find it the old fashioned way (windows media player) but it would be helpful to know the answer to this for the future.

    Thanks in advance…

    View – Edit Details.
    Select Events and look for the specific clip.
    The first two columns will show you the start and end times.

    You can also double-click the event to highlight it.
    Look at the 3 small boxes at bottom right of the timeline.
    The will tell you (from left to right) Selection Start, Selection End & Selection Length.
