Update: I did find a setting in the render queue under file>interpret footage. It will allow you to render out in a variable framerate mode(?) However I am still getting a variable framrate file even when this function is NOT checked. It is only happening in 2 of the sequences that I am trying to render out. I was able to get a constant frame rate by selecting the interpret footage and specifiying 29.97. I assume that something in the original footage is triggering this? what should I look for?

Rendering to MP4 format, 720×480, 29.97 fps interlaced, using the main profile. most are fine, but I see about 12 programs out of more than 50 won’t upload. when using Media Info to check:
Won’t upload to CDN
Frame rate mode : Variable
Frame rate : 0.270 fps
Original frame rate : 29.970 fps
Minimum frame rate : 0.000 fps
Maximum frame rate : 29.970 fps

Programs that have NO issues:
Frame rate mode : Constant
Frame rate : 29.970 fps

I haven’t seen anywhere in the media encoder where you can select a Variable framerate. What am i missing?

I believe that I may I solved the issue, It seems that I need to double click the setting once it is in the batch tree to enable the “watch function” once I did that squeeze saw the audio only setting and rendered it.

Thanks!

I can see the card in my window device manager, I just can’t tell if vegas is completely utilizing that card. I don’t have it as a choice in the preferences window of Vegas. I have the speakers plugged into the card and I hear audio, but I still have a poor relationship to the waveform on the timeline versus what I hear.

What I am hearing is that it may be possible with flash, But I have my hands tied on format, our company’s server is set up for Windows media only as far as I know.
I have tried the command function in vegas to get it “roll over” to a web page but I don’t know if I am testing it correctly. Has anyone used this function?

Thanks for the quick response,
I am using Windows media 10,any thoughts on how i test the clip in a browser? I can arrange to have it uploaded, but that will take some time where I work. In another direction, is there a way to put a “clickable” link in a graphic at the end of a WMV?

A little trick that I do with a 4X4 sheet of foam cor is to buy a silver space blanket from the camping section of a outdoor store. open it all the way up and then scrunch it down as small as you can to get it wrinkled. I then go into the garage and I coat one side of the piece of foamcor with spray cement and spread the wrinkled space blanket out on the board. Don’t spread it out too smooth, put it on wrinlkled, this will give a nice soft bounce that is a different quality than the white side of the board, sort of a hard side/soft side card.
I often trim the card to fit in the lid of a case and score it down one side to fold in half to take on the road.
There are variations too, you can buy one of the gold space blankets and have a warm side instead of white.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Rick,
I want to thank you for the tips you passed along, the one about Matching settings button has been very helpful and has solved problems with a bunch of the files with sync issues.
However, the 2 files that prompted this thread are still problem children.
I have tried output in the same format as the media on the timeline and various other tries but the they are both still out of sync-badly.
Is there any “hidden info” that I can check or something that is not shown in the clip info that would affect the sync?
I have a question posted on the Sony help website as well.

Not really, I have acceptable sync (these are streamed archived business conferences, sometimes it is very hard to see lip sync if they never have a close-up of a speaker)I looked into what my preferences are set at however. the output device is listed as Microsoft sound Mapper .I assume that is the on-board sound card. if it plays back OK but renders out of sync is that the culprit?Is there a way to see what the sound sampling rate is?
I tried some different render settings again, I am going to let them “cook” tonight and i will see in the morning.
