What’s a bit crazy with this program is that it allows you to make sound that you extract louder but does not allow you to make them softer.
So, I can totally eliminate audio of crickets in the background but I can’t then just soften them which leaves me with a sort of sterile background.The only way around it is to make a wav file of just the crickets and put it in Vegas as another track and lower it there.

I’ve been working on some distant traffic hum from an interstate that is in my background audio trying to remove it.
I can remove it but it makes my voice sound a bit like I’m talking through a tube. As you can see by the picture, the hum and my voice are pretty well mixed together and can’t be separated very well.It worked perfectly with some audio to remove cricket sounds but this one I think may be beyond the scope of the program to fix unless I figure it out more.
Sure hope some others join in so we can learn from each other on this program.

Well, When I first used it I seemed to be limited to about 2 or 3 minutes of audio which was all it would accept.
I used it today and loaded a 7 minute audio piece into SpecralLayers. So maybe it was a glitch on my part.
Just so you know, the trial version does not let you save your audio fix.

It’s going to come in real handy for me I think. We shot a program recently where the crickets and cicadas were unbelievably loud. I’ve been able to remove literally all of that background noise yet still leave in the occasional sounds of birds chirping.
I had to do ADR a while back because of water fountain noise and I’m sure this would have been able to remove that as well.
I wish the documentation were better though that comes with the program.

No, I purchased the program. It really is amazing but even the webinar they did the other day just did not cover all there is to know and the help files are really of little help.

I’m not an expert at the time thing but I do know that our PBS shows if set to drop frame but if it is set to non drop frame, the time code by the end of our show is off.
John Rofrano is an expert at this. Hope he doesn’t mind I mention him but he’s the one who would know if this is your problem.

I think it may have something to do with the “time format”.
Drop frame, non drop frame, etc.
Those changes are made by right clicking the timecode right under the tabs where you find the explorer and transitions.Roger Bansemer

I think what Angelo is saying is that the cursor goes to the beginning of the timeline, not the last position the video was started.
I have had this happen a number of times and the only way I am able to correct it is to close the program and open it again.
In my case both the spacebar and the enter key brought me to the very beginning of the timeline.Roger Bansemer

That’s a great workaround. Thanks for that practical suggesting it.

1. Put your jpgs on the timeline.
2. Click on “Track Motion” on the track media bar. It’s the square white icon with the arrow and blue smaller square.
3. Resize a jpg image that you have on the timeline by dragging one corner.4. put a check on the “2D shadow” box
Note: you won’t see anything if you have no other tracks underneath it because the shadow would be black along with the track, so be sure you have a different background on another track so the shadow will show up.
5. After you click the 2D shadow box, you’ll see another box which will be the shadow.
6. Enlarge that box so it surrounds the image even though it’s fuzzy now.
7. Reduce the “Blur%” to 0. This will make a hard outline.
8. Then you’ll have to adjust the size and most likely center that outline.
9. From there on out, every image you put on that timeline will have the border around it.Let me know if you need more explanation.
