Jack, yes you are correct in many ways, but our friend here wants to double the last frame. One frame. But there again maybe a "stretch" is what he is after? But maybe it is for "sustaining" the last shot. So maybe Loop-off OR insert still OR VeloEnvel and HOLD? Yeah?

I think there is more to this than at first glance, Jack? Maybe it needs a second glance .. of that "short frame"!

Grazie

The stretch will not work.
Is there a way to insert still (to take a shot of that last frame) , you are right it is more for "sustaining" the last shot.

In which case Addo, I think we need to know a bit more?

1] Is the audio PART of the Video?

2] Is the Audio added after the video was on the timeline?

3] How is the Audio connected WITH the Video?

4] Are you sure you want to have only 1 frame added?

The potential solutions I provided have their place, but need to be specific for what it is you have already. You say ONE Frame? That is mightily short? Are you absolutely sure you want this? In PAL one frame is like a 25th of a second and in NTSC land that is even shorter?

I can think of many more options and thence solutions. We need to know more - yeah?

Grazie

Copy the existing event somewhere else on the time line.
Click the Ignore Even Grouping icon.
Select and delete the audio track of the copied clip
Position cursor at the last fame. You'll need to zoom right in to see where you are.
Make certain you have the event selected and press "S"
Delete all of the event before the frame you want.
Drag it to the end of the original clip.
Click the Ignore Event Grouping icon to disable that.


The above is one way, you could also use the trimmer to mark out the last frame.

What should work and doesn't is the Copy Snapshot to Clipboard icon in the Preview Window followed by a Paste into the timeline. I can paste the snapshot into Photoshop but not back into Vegas's timeline, wierd.

All that said it is kind of wierd to duplicate a frame because if there's any motion it'll get really wierd.

Rather than stretch the video I'd tend to Ctl+Drag the audio back one frame. That's a very, very tiny shift in pitch. Just make certain you have the project's audio render quality set to Best to get the best audio resampling.


If you are really stuck having to duplicate the last frame and motion does go funky try duplicating several frames and dissolve into the duplicated last frame.

Bob.

I tried your suggestions, and they worked - thanks

Also, if it really is the last frame of the video clip, you can turn off looping for that clip and then simply drag it out (not Ctrl-drag) one frame. Vegas will continue showing the last frame for as far as you drag.

And, rather than copy the entire event, you can highlight the last frame, copy & paste it, and then you get a new event on the timeline of just that frame. Ungroup it and delete the audio if necessary.
