Nested Veggie and audio sync

vitalforce2 wrote on 1/13/2006, 2:54 PM

I have a long-form project divided into 8 projects (total time 92 minutes) and although didn't need this for the finished product, I thought I would experiment a little so I strung the 8 projects together in V6 as nested timelines. I then took my .wav soundtracks (92 minutes also) and placed them below the nested events. They go out of sync. The .wav tracks are about a full second behind the sound in the nested track, halfway through.

In the "real" project, I had rendered the 8 projects into avi files which I strung together on one track, and the audio tracks below (dialog, fx and music) stay exactly in sync, except that I had to tweak a few avi frames here and there in the "joint" between the rendered avi files.

Am I missing a logical reason why the running time of the nested .vegs on one track, ends sooner than the straight .wav files made from the track with avi events?

I'm assuming your tracks are off "after" rendering? Else, I might suspect it's just a preview lag.

The preview lag is what I was wondering, just looking to save the time of actually doing the render. No substitute for patience, though. I'll try the render.

allocate some ram to the preview render in your settings, and then just select sections by click dragging, and hit Shift+B and let it do a ram render to preview it, then see if it is out of sync there, if it still is out of sync, then it's a problem, if it's ok now, then it's a preview lag.
