Veggie audio to Parent Veg?

[Stephen Mann]

I can’t think of why it shouldn’t be working. When you put a veg file on the timeline, Vegas treats it like any other media. Can you open the veg file in Vegas without problems?

Yeah when I open the child veg file it opens perfectly. I can render from the child and audio come through.

However, when in the timeline for the parent the audio for the interview clips doesn’t come through. And when I render the parent the audio for the interviews isn’t there either.

It’s weird. Is there some way I can reconstruct the project meta data? Is it possible something got corrupted in the parent veg file?

I’ve tried removing and re-inserting the child veg but no luck.

Thanks!

[Matthew Jeschke] “They are WMV files in the child veg.”

That’s probably your problem right there. Vegas doesn’t edit WMV files natively. If you notice when you first drop a new WMV file on the timeline, Vegas builds a audio proxy file. I bet these audio proxies are being left out of the nested audio proxy.

The solution is to not edit WMV files. They are a horrible format to edit anyway since they are a loss delivery format. Convert them into an edit format like CineForm, Motion-JPEG with PCM audio of even Sony MXF if they are HD.

Thanks, John. I had forgotten that WMV is edited by proxy since it happens so fast.

Hey fantastic. Thanks for the help!

I was a wondering in the back of my head what is the best formats to deal with. I think that answers that question as well 🙂

An alternate solution without re-encoding the video in child.veg would be rendering the audio track into a WAV file and using it with the child.veg in parent.veg.

I do think there are new bugs in Vegas Pro 10, particularly in nesting. I brought this up in an earlier thread (https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/24/920497#920873) and was never resolved by Sony. They said they couldn’t reproduce my problem.

Matthew, I’d be curious if your problem occurs in Vegas 8 or 9.

Recently I just tried to nest a veg that had a single mp3 audio file on the timeline and it appears to have caused my parent veg to crash a couple times. I had to render out the mp3 veg to a wav and replace the nested veg with that wav, and I no longer get crashes.

It’s too bad, I went from version 8 which had no bugs in my workflow now to version 10.0c which does seem to have bugs.
