Loop Region Problem

[Treva Mello]

I started a new project.
QF on.
I added a 5s image and rendered it.
Rendered file has the same size.
I can only imagine I started my other project with QF off.

Thanks guys for trying to help 😉

You moved the beginning to a frame boundary but did you make sure it ended on a frame boundary? My guess is that it doesn’t. Fix that and it should correct your problem.

Hey mike one question.

Let’s start a new project with QF on.
Then I add a song track.
Let’s say the parts of that song don’t match the frames of the project.
Example:
Let’s say the chorus part ends between frames, my events have to end there too and the next part events should start there too but with QF on I won’t be able to add events “outside” of frames.How does that work?

I hope I made myself clear.

[Mike Kujbida]

Yes you did.
You can turn off QTF while you edit your audio as it’s not subject to the same frame boundary rules as video is. I’ve done this a lot so no worries.
The easiest thing to do is find a blank place on the audio track where you can temove a fraction of a second without disrupting the song. If you cant do that, try a very quick overlap between the two segments.
Good luck.

Wait I’m lost.
I have to add events following song parts which obviously don’t follow video frames, so if I turn QF off and add events following song parts (that’s what I did), when I render I’ll have the same problem cause song events are not following frames.But if I add them following frames, they will not match song parts.
WTH???!!!

So trying to understand what you said, I have to make song parts match my project frames stretching it, right?
That’s crazy LOL

Treva, now that I’ve had some time to think about your issue, here’s another possible solution for you when your audio ends after a frame boundary.
Place your cursor at the end of the audio event, hold down the CTRL button and drag it back until it does line up at the frame boundary.
This will speed the audio event up but the difference is so small that you will never notice it.
This way you never have to turn off QTF.
Happy editing!

That’s what I said above, Mike.
Having to separate song parts then stretching them to match video frames is weird.
My projects are always this way, I make a song, add it to Vegas then create scenes for different parts.
It would be impossible with QF on cause audio doesn’t follow video frames so that’s why I always turned it off.
From now on I’ll have to add a song, separate its parts and stretch them to match video frames then I’ll create scenes.
Gee, it should be easier 😉

How should I set my ruler format?

As I have to stretch my song to match the ruler, I thought I should set it to “seconds” because there would be minor stretches then to other formats but we were talking about frames so should I set it to Absolute frames/time & frames etc?
