    Hi,

    This is my first pot, so please be gentle :), I’m on the learning curve.

    I have a dialogue where two persons are talking a bit too fast. I’ve done slow motion,but now I would like to add some mini-pauses between the words, like 0,5-1 sec.

    I managed to do a freeze frame, so the image freezes nicely, but I don’t know how to hande the audio. I’ve cut a bit of noise in Audacity and then copied it to get an 1 sec noise, but when I import it back in Vegas, on the still frame there is a clear difference between the original sound and the one imported, even though the imported one is from the same audio file(I’ve ripped the audio from the clip and then edited in Audacity to get only the noise in other natural breaks in the dialogue).

    Is there another way? or how shall I go about it?

    Thanks a million

    Why are you doing this in Audacity (which might be affecting the result) when you can easily do this in Vegas.
    Copy a section of your video event to a blank space on your timeline, ungroup the audio from the video, delete the video and then use the audio portion to fill in the blank space.
    I do this a lot so I know it can be done.

    Thank you Mike

    I was doing the following:
    splitting the movie and the audio
    taking a snapshot of the last frame of the first split segment
    and then I would add that picture of the snapshot on the video frame and repeat it for 2seconds
    then I would split the second segment one more time where there is only noise and nobody talks
    I would then copy the audio with the noise on the timeframe under the snapshot taken before

    but if I do the above and play, the image is fine, but at the end of segment one you could hear a click between the audio of segment 1 and the noise that I’ve copied, it’s not continuous the sound.

    What do you think, what am I doing wrong, or what should I do better.

    Thanks
