How to trim an image on a timeline to less than 0.19 seconds?
For school, we are doing subliminal advertising. My group chose to flash and image. However, the lowest I can get it to trim to when I have it in the timeline is 0.19 seconds. That is still easy to see, and I need to get it down to about 0.01 or less time flashing. Is that possible in Vegas? Im using sony vegas 9.

I would just put the clip on the timeline. You can make it as short as you want on there.

[Hunter Craig] “Is that possible in Vegas?”
It’s not possible in any video editor.
Because of the frame rate for NTSC TV, the shortest interval you can go is 1 frame which is 33 msec. (0.033 seconds).
PAL, due to it’s lower frame rate, is 40 msec. (0.04 seconds). -
I would say Mike is right.
I would advice lowering the opacity of your image to create a faux flash fade effect.

Hi all,
1 second divided by 30 is .033 sec, and 0.19 sec is nearly 6x as big, so that time should contain at least 5 frames. One way I tried to pack lots of short frames into a 5 second TV ad was to string out all the frames in the shortest allowable setup for stills, then rendered that down to a file. I then reopened that file and grabbed the end to time stretch it downward, and I repeated that one more time, but you could repeat that until it was what you wanted.
I can’t quite imagine what one still could be used for at 1/5 second, but you could alternate some black before and after the still, so it was obvious where to crop it to save as a standalone file. I have since upgraded to Vegas 11 from 10 and I see that the still insert time can be lowered to just one frame if wanted. That would be difficult to control, I think. Anyway here’s a link to what I was describing, a demo for a segment of the ad mentioned (for a non-profit).

Keith, the OP in this thread (Hunter) wanted it to be 0.01 seconds which no NLE can do as it’s far less than one frame in length.
Your solution is a good one and is very easy to do in Vegas.
It could be done even easier though by using an image sequence which has been discussed here numerous times.
