Vegas 6 Trimming event beyond end
O knowledgable ones help me out on this one. Vegas 6, chapter 3, page 81. Bottom paraagraph ‘Trimming an event beyond its end’. It states that if ‘looping’ is off (in prefs I would imagine) you can make the last frame of an event a freeze frame if you drag an event past its end, past the notch in otherwords. Can I get it to do this, in a word no! More than likely brain fade on my part but if anyone can point me in the right direction TIA. Additionally do any of you have any other good ways of doing a freeze frame other than using a still pic?

Worked it out. Discovered it was ‘loop’ under ‘edit details’. Thanks to Tim Duncan funnily enough. It was his reply to the post ‘Event duration’ that got me looking under the ‘edit details’ dialogue.

Loop can also be found by right-clicking the event and choosing Properties.
As for creating a freeze-frame in the middle of an event, I prefer adding a velocity envelope and going from 100% to 0% on that frame (i.e. on the frame before set a new point at the “current” speed and on the desired frame set a new point to 0%)
Version 4.2 of Excalibur also lets you do a quick freeze frame at the cursor location using a new option in the Velocity Wizard.

Ed’s way is probably the best way to do it in Vegas.
A way that’ll work on just about ANY system is to trim off the single frame you want as a still, then simply stretch it to the desired length.

Thanks for the heads up. The ‘still pic’ mode is what I have used previously but I do like Ed’s method. I had previously used the velocity envelopes for speed ramps but never thought of using it for a freeze, you live and learn. Thanks again.
