  • Video Import into Vegas Audio tracks wrong Duration. Vegas 10 pro, Carrara 6pro

    Hello
    Having a very odd problem. I am doing animations in Carrara pro. I export to Quicktime Animation codec, 1920×1080 29.97 fps.
    (Thanks John R. they look great)
    These files seem to play fine when played in Quicktime on my P.C. running Windows 7 pro. All the work is done on this machine no Mac involved. When I import these movies into Vegas 10 Pro (I own 11 but don’t want to get involved with an upgrade mid project) The audio regions are shorter then the video files. IF I drag them out to match they just loop to the beginning again. Some don’t even have the full audio in Vegas. When played in QT movie inspector says the audio track is 16bit 48khz. I tried using 48khz and 44.1 khz as my sample rate for audio in vegas but that didn’t seem to help. ( my default was 44.1 because I use a Sony HDR-FX1 which is 44.1 audio.
    Again they seem fine playing in Quick Time.
    Any Ideas?? Help!
    Thanks
    Brad

    I assume you didn’t edit the audio in Carrara Pro. Couldn’t you just drop the same original audio track that you used in Carrara Pro onto the Vegas Pro timeline? I’ve never worked with audio in Carrara so I don’t know if this is a Carrara rendering problem or not.

    Yup thats what I did.
    After spending a lot of time timing the animation to the voice over it disappointing to have to respot it by eye. I was also concerned because some H.264 .mov files were correct duration but 25 frames out of sync. That issue I’ve seem other people post but no clear answer.

    I have a guess what it is, I don’t think that audio clip was placed at 00:00 in the carrara session. I’ll bet the render to animation codec only renders the audio portion and not audio from 00. Maybe somehow in the container Quick time recognizes the late start, but maybe Vegas on import moves it up to the beginning of the clip it comes up short and loops it. Don’t know just a guess. I’ll try to add some dead air up front on my audio files I put in Carrara so I have more control where my animation starts
    Thanks
