  • Cloning Problem In Vegas

    Posted by Hunter Chambers on July 17, 2010 at 2:28 am

    Hi.

    I’ve been having this problem whenever I use the mask feature in vegas for the cloning effect. I have cropped the time lines perfect and they align next to each other perfect but when playing back in the preview section there appears to be glitches through out as on both sides of the video I appear and disappear on both sides.

    I don’t know whether this is a codec problem? but the video plays perfectly when each scene is played individually but only when played together do I get this problem.

    Also, on one of my videos i manually cut out the frames that had the glitches in them and after all that the video played back fine.

    But ever since that, I’ve tried it again and again and now nothing seems to stop it from glitching out.

    Please help, Thanx

    What is the codec used by your video? Does it do this with other video formats. You may be on to something when you said that it might be a codec problem.

    The video uses a 3ivx MPEG-4 5.0.3 video codec. Also, when I have done other cloning videos almost all of them work fine except for a select few. ALL have been shot on the same FLIP MINO HD camera.

    It just doesn’t add up….

    The video uses a 3ivx MPEG-4 5.0.3 video codec.

    It makes sense. These highly compressed MPEG4 codecs cause all sorts of problems for editing. I would convert your files to a different codec for editing like MJPEG, Huffyuv or Lagarith.
