Audio playback during preview ext monitor

[Edward Troxel]

Two ways I know of:

1. Print to tape
2. Run a wire from your computer sound card to your deck. It will still be coming from the computer, though.

My system, Vegas 8, firewire to DSR-2000, S-video out to Sony PVM-20M4U.

I run video preview at “preview full” quality and get 29.970 disply rate on unaltered AVI clips.

Computer audio was out of sync with ext monitor video initially.

I changed the settings in

Options / Preferences / Video Preview Device / Sync offset slider. I set the numerical value to 9.

Computer Audio sync is now matching ext monitor video sync. It really does work. Try it.

I have typically been able to use the default value of 4 and be in sync. However, I just upgraded our church system to Vegas 8 and we added a DVD recorder in the mix. I was noticing a distinct difference between the lips and the sound so I looked more closely at the preview screen on the monitor. Sure enough, they were in sync. So I made the adjustment you just mentioned and now all is well. I don’t remember what I had to change it to – just kept changing it until it was right.

Happy that worked for you. I only recently discovered the feature when I upgraded to Vegas 8 and the lip sync seemed further off than before.

Can you help me with the Question I posted earlier?

How can I get Vegas capture to give me some header or extra leader after I mark an “in” point and extra trailer after the out point. I understand this is not an uncommon feature in NLE. I’ve noticed that when I batch capture the “capture duration” counter begins counting well ahead of the “in” point, as if it is recording additional material before the marked in point. But upon playback I almost always upcut the first word of my audio if I mark the in point even close to the beginning of a clip.

I hope you followed that question, it was as clear as I can phrase it.

Thanks in advance

I put the in point farther back!

When batch capturing, it will capture exactly the timecodes you enter. If you need it to capture more, enter different timecodes. Or, just capture the whole tape and cut it up on the timeline.

It’s just that while marking the “in” point, when you see or hear the cue it’s already too late to “mark it earlier” so I have to manually subtract 1 sec. It really gets to be a chore.

On a related issue, if after the project is finished you want to save as, w/project media trimmed, you get the option of extra head and tail.

Thanks for the advice

Thanks guys!
I will try but I am sure it is going to work. Anyway, people from sony could do this improvemnt. Add a option that allows us to select the audio output beetwen firewire or audio card/pc.

Best regards!

Audio sync is always a problem for me, especially with HD. I use the ram preview a lot to check it.
