Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Basic editing question

  • Basic editing question

    Posted by John Gallagher on November 7, 2010 at 11:30 pm

    Hi folks. I’m new to the Vegas format as I have previously used Final Cut pro whilst I was at college. I am learning and progressing competently, but the only thing I can’t seem to fathom is this: on Final Cut, when you moved between individual frames on a project’s video track using the left and right directional keys, you could also hear the audio track from those frames. Whilst using Vegas, however, there doesn’t appear to be any audio at all whilst performing this action. I’m probably missing something obvious, but could anybody enlighten me on how to be able to hear the project’s audio track frame by frame?
    Cheers folks

    Scrubbing to hear the audio
    You can…
    Press and hold K while pressing J or L to emulate a shuttle knob mode. Press K+J to turn the knob to the left or K+L to turn the knob to the right.
    Choose a setting from the JKL / shuttle speed drop-down list on the Editing tab of the Preferences dialog to control the scrub speed and range when you scrub with the JKL keys.
    or…
    Drag the playhead above the timeline to shuttle forward or backward from the cursor position (probably close to what you want)
    or
    Use the Scrubber Control Slider (bottom left)
    Cursor keys do not seem to work.
