Odd overlaps between every file that i drag and drop into Vegas 5.0 *
Hello!
i’m using DVgate to capture minidv video on my Vaio.
and it splits the video into 2048mb size files. When i drag and drop them into
Vegas 5.0 … it creates this verrrry small overlap with a
crossfade between each video clip, therefore creating a
split second of lost video.When i play it back , it makes a quick clicking noise
when it passes through the small crossfade. AND it makes
it very hard to sync up the video and audio. (i’m syncing
4 camera angles together)In vegas 4.0, it did not do this.
In 4.0, when i dragged a clip…it had the full size upside down
triangle between the 2 clips. (right above the timeline)
BUT in 5.0, it’s got the half upside
down triangle – along with the crossfade.
i don’t know if i accidentally changed a setting somewhere in vegas 4.0 or 5.0what can/should i do about this?
thanks -

Options – Preferences – Editing tab. Turn OFF “Automatically overlap multiple selected media when added”

THanks for your response, BUT
when i went to do that…the
“Automatically overlap multiple selected media when added”
box was already UNchecked.doesn’t that mean it was already off?
i also changed the setting under that one
from .250 to 0.00
that didn’t seem to do anything either. -
Then I’m not sure what’s happening. What if you double-click each one of them? After it’s added to the timeline it should move the cursor to the end automatically. Then just double-click the next one.

thanks jedi…that worked (to an extent)
NOW, i have a different, yet related problem. 🙁now i’m getting the full triangle right over the timeline.
(showing that the video files are NOT overlapping anymore! 🙂However….now the audio part of each file…is a little shorter
than the video part of the file. what is up with that? -
The audio being shorter is probably why you were getting the overlaps.

Thinking laterally – it sounds as if the drive you’re capturing to is formatted FAT32 which is causing the files to be split when it hits a max file size limit. Reformatting to NTFS will remove this restriction.
Also, I don’t know DV Gate, but is there a reason you’re using this rather than Vegas to capture?

yeah…you’re right.
but the funny thing is-
is that on one clip , the
video is a hair shorter than
the audio. weird stuff.i think i’m just gonna have to
re-capture. i guess i’m gonna
try the vegas capture program.
can it capture analog as well as dv? -
Yes – to capture via a pass through device such as a DV cam or A-V converter, you need to turn Device Control off in Capture prefs, otherwise Vegas will be looking for a DV tape to control.

i just went and checked the hard drives-
they are both ntfs. looks like i’ll have to try vegas capture.one more question,
in vegas capture—does it capture dv as one long
file?thanks
-
Yes, as long as you turn “Scene Detection” off in Capture prefs.
If this is ON, it will split capture into separate scenes each time the camera was stopped/started, assuming the camera clock had been set.
