Did this fix? I have similar problem, but it occurs when I click in blank area of timeline to move cursor, it jumps to the beginning of timeline. Mike’s toggle fix above did not affect. Vegas 13.

Thanks for the research Paul.
I’ve tried over the years to work with sync ON, but I end up with unwanted Keyframes dropped all over the place!

[Mel Mcmurrin]

Hey thanks Paul for verifying I’m not crazy!

Yes, I almost always work first with HOLDs for precision then change them to LINEARS etc for smoothness as needed. That is great news about VP14. I have a vague memory that VP 6 behaved “correctly”, and was just about to install it to see.

Now tell me this, with the track motion sync cursor off, make a change to a keyframe (HOLD or LINEAR) and then undo….does track motion cursor move back to 0:00:00? in VP14? In VP13?

Thanks for chiming in Paul,

My experience is that timeline cursor must be forward of the keyframe or you will not see the actual position in Preview.
Notice how in picture 2 position of red box in Preview maintains position of previous keyframe (picture 1) until moving forward (picture 3)

This is always the way it has worked for me…if yo have a setting which will change that I will be very grateful!

Thank you László!

Your description clarified it for me. I had assumed that a highlighted keyframe should mean that I am editing that keyframe! Silly me. So in addition to setting sync cursor off I need to move the track motion cursor back to the keyframe I wish to edit. Ah my poor mouse hand, lots of moving between timeline and track motion window…but you are right I think this is normal behavior.

I bet going back to 0:00:00 after a track motion undo is “normal” too … I can’t tell you how many time’s I’ve been making track motion changes to the first keyframe not the 100th one as I thought! The fix: delete keyframes and start over don’t Cntrl-Z them (or never make key frame mistakes!)

Aha!I CAN kern between two letters at a time! Is that the correct procedure…it’ll take forever to do any amount of text!

hmm I still have this problem. I’ve tried every pixel aspect ratio and just about every other project setting. (BTW Mike K this happens even when “Match Output Aspect” is selected in Pan/crop.)

I still got a black border on bottom or on right depending on the size of the crop. Even happens if I crop image to exact dimensions as project!

Only 2 work arounds I’ve found is 1.)zooming in the track motion, good for multiple files on same track (but a little bogus, resolution-wise) or in Pan/Crop toggling No/Yes for Maintain Aspect Ratio (fixes without losing resolution…but cannot be Event Attribute pasted if your images are different sizes.)

I’m using 10D but have seen this on versions 6 and 7 I believe too.

[Mel Mcmurrin]

Ah good. That is more elegant, because renaming a file could have consequences elsewhere! Thanks

[Mel Mcmurrin]

Ah…just remembered I can rename the old file and specify the new file when Vegas looks for the offline media. Something I do with stills all the time.

If there is a more elegant way to do this anyone let me know…it would be nice to be able to toggle between the two mixes, as in have 2 separate takes with the edits intact…but not crucial for this project.
