Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Color correction changes frames

  • Color correction changes frames

    Posted by Sebastien Gravel on May 14, 2012 at 1:39 am

    Well, not sure why, but when I to do some color correction (Curves or Color Corrector) it shift a few frames over on all the clips and it messes up my edit.

    Any idea why this would be happening?

    Are you doing the color correcting on the events themselves or on the track level? Either way, be sure to have “Sync Cursor to Media Timeline” turned off so that you’re not unintentionally making keyframes for your changes.

    On the event themselves. Although I fail to see how creating keyframes within the effect should have any impacts on the lenght of the clip or change it’s in an out points…

    If you’re changing the event size after setting keyframes within the event then it could affect the keyframes, especially if you’re shortening the clips.

    Using Vegas 11 latest build. But I seem to remember it doing the same thing in previous versions. Basically, I do all my edit then back on the first clip I create the color adjustment and look. Then I copy and paste the property of that clip onto the rest of the clips on my timeline.

    As I’m writing it occurs to me that perhaps another property gets copied as well… will have to investigate.

    [Sebastien Gravel] “Then I copy and paste the property of that clip onto the rest of the clips on my timeline.”

    That’s a lot of extra work.

    First, if it’s on the timeline, it’s an event – not a clip. You are working at the event level then duplicating it across other events from the same media. Do it at the media level and you only have to do it once.

    It’s a good suggestion. But since my media is composed of hundreds of clips, some of which are not even used (all the raw footage dumped from camcorder) I don’t want to color correct media that is not being used…
