June 15, 2020 at 5:41 am in reply to: Adding text and then moving it around box gone?compatibility issues maybe? I know that the dropper is broken for some of the text apps in pro 16 and that pro 17 has apps that have been deprecated, meaning you can still use them if you want but they aren’t guaranteeing they will work right. For moving the text around at least I would ignore the media generated controls and use pan crop instead.

Wow, normally I would have just replied saying “that wont work, the way this border effect works it just always is the size of the project dimensions” but since it was Graham saying this I thought “I better just check to see if that actually works” and then to have it actually work like you said. This information sure would have been useful to me before now whenever I would be fidgeting with a cookie cutter border.

That interesting. You say you drop one clip into a project and it will distort and stretch to fill the dimensions rather than keeping it’s own aspect ratio? Huhh I know there is an option for still images to auto crop in the editing panel under preferences, maybe 17 has that option for video as well? I would also look at your pan crop settings see if lock aspect ratio is on though I don’t think that would have an effect before you opening the pan crap menu. So what I might do to fix this is to put everything on the timeline and then go into pan crap for one of them right click on the screen and select match source aspect. Then I would copy that clip and paste the attributes to all the other clips.

Or if that doesnt work try selecting, then go to edit, then switches, then disable resample.

I dunno why they have it as the default setting. I’m sure they thought it was a good idea at the time. At some point they let you easily disable it in the settings menu, check if your version has this option

If it does not then when you are finished with a project use the selection tool to highlight all the video clips all at once then right click go to properties and select disable resample. -
There may be some benefit to it for certain types of footage with certain amounts of movement. In my experience leaving it on generates motion blur and splotchy renders.
-
my system is a little worse than yours. I try to avoid 4k footage if I can, mainly because of how much space it takes up but i can edit 4k as long as I use proxies. I create the proxies and set the viewer setting to preview full and its works fine.

I have template that have probably about 100 files to begin with with sub folders and tagged media. Then I usually dump between 30-60 minutes of footage directly on the timeline. It’s stable and I have made 2 hours videos. The thing that causes a crash the most often is if I move something with auto ripple on while the video is playing. If I do that I have about 1/3 chance of a crash. So I try not to do that, but accidents do happen.

So I’m not sure but it looks like pro 17 doesn’t support braw yet all though 18 will probably be here in august and that might. Vegas does want to support braw but you never know when certain features will be added

If you are the solo editor vegas is the way to go. It’s excellent timeline and I find it’s media management to be excellent
