Yes indeed (I think). I shall try that tomorrow, and thanks for your help.

Hi Tom

I need two frames in the final output as shown above. I’ve got a golf swing shot on two cameras. I chuck one shot into the timeline, and chuck a track motion on it, shrink it and place it left.

Then I do the same with the other angle and put it right.

Now all I want to do is go to the point of impact on the left image in the timeline, and slip the right image to be at the same point.

Of course, if my little Canon Ixus 115HS cameras generated timecode…. 🙂

Well I only ever worked on Avid (various), Fire and then Smoke. Those are high-end bits of kit for sure.

But…surely even the most basic system should allow an editor to look at a frame on a timeline and then slip source media to match that frame?

Maybe I’m just wrong, I haven’t edited for a few years 🙁

Well I have to say that having asked how to do something I imagined to be simple, I’m shocked at how tricky it is.

Slipping a track to match something on another is almost chapter one of basic editing requirements.

Still great software but I’d trade this bucketload of effects for such a fundamental option.

Thanks. I’m sure I can get that to work, though it still seems a lot of keystrokes. This is surely a VERY basic edit function.

Anyway, the assistance is appreciated.

Many thanks.

OK, thanks for trying. It seems a very fundamental requirement.

Vegas has many good points, and of course is as cheap as chips, but this is such a basic requirement of an edit system I’m amazed it isn’t there.

Thanks Mike, I did look it up but there doesn’t appear to be anything relevant there. Whenever I slip a track, the view shows me front and end frames of the clip, and they move as I slip it. I don’t want that slipping view to appear at all, I want to see what the slip is doing in my output.

This frame shows what I want to achieve:

Many thanks all.

I like Vegas but I reckon the basic version is waaaay too complex.

Cheers

Thanks for your help other Steve, but I don’t want a project the same size as my media. I want an HD project that contains SD material at its native resolution.

I guess I’m not explaining it very well, or not understand what you’re suggesting.

What I’m after is a rendered output that looks like this:

Once again, many thanks.
