Video Segments Out of Wack!

MV7 · Post by **MV7** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 3:18 pm

I imported a video clip from a DVD and when I tried to edit the clip using the Multi-Edit Tool, the video segments below the preview screen started to become un-synced to the preview in certain areas of the clip. Weird, because the preview window plays the clip correctly, but the segmented clips jump to an entirely different part of the clip. This is preventing me from editing the area I want because the segments are not in line with the preview portion of the clip.

I uninstalled VS10, I removed the Ulead entries in the registry, I reinstalled VS10, I installed the latest SP, and still no luck.

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

I must be having a blonde moment because I can't work out what you mean? Are you saying that your clip is in sync when viewed as a clip, but when you're viewing in the timeline it's not in sync? Or have you edited the clip and the edited project is out of sync?

In either event, details of the clips properties would really help here.

MV7 - - do you have your timeline compressed ?? - in order to edit to single frame accuracy you need to expand the timeline to one frame per thumbnail

Have a look here :-

If you have the timeline compressed to something like one thumbnail equals one minute it may *appear* that the cursor is in the wrong position.

Also whilst playing a video with the timeline scrolling it may again *appear* that the cursor is over the wrong pictures in the timeline - but as soon as you click on 'pause' the timeline should refresh to show the correct images.

That's very easy to do. If you have your cursor just above the timeline, where the time ruler is (the cursor turns into a crosshair), and you accidentally scroll with your mouse wheel the timeline will zoom in/out. Drives me nuts.

Sort of... only I'm not viewing it in the timeline, but rather viewing the segmented frames where all the frames are displayed. The Preview is fine as long as the clip is playing, but while playing, the segments start going off track. It only happens in one part of the clip. I am in multi-clip edit mode.

I've only inserted 1 clip in the timeline. So I think its the the clip that's having the problem - not the timeline. See my response to TDK1044. Thanks for your input though!
