Question

Exported mpeg is not the same as timeline

hi , all

whilst I can export 'same speed' edited and rendered HD footage (.MOV) with no problem, if I speed up or slow down any sections of footage in the timeline, join several together, render and export the file, the output does not match what I see in the timeline. Bits at the end of each section that I have removed , are still there and in other places, sections that I have left in ... are missing! It's leaving in or taking off several seconds' worth of footage. I can't see any pattern. The footage and project settings are the same. Very frustrating. It has to be something to do with changing the speed of the pieces of footage with which I am working. It happens whether or not I use a transition between sections. All the footage is in the same format and recorded on the same device. There are no other (apparent!) issues. I have cleared the cache.

I can't find anyone else with this problem......but hope someone has a suggestion/fix?

thankyou

    Thankyou I'll try that. Am aware there's a way of clipping bits of footage using control keys too , will try find out more about that too. All the best , Mark

    Ctrl-K cuts the selected clip(s) at the CTI.

    it seems like it's the 'speeding up' action that's knocking bits off the clips in the timeline. I took one simple clip from 100% to 250% speed and it knocked the last minute or so off, without me making any other adjustments.... I've saved clips and exported as individual files and can load them back in, individually and join /add transitions etc but it seems to be the speeding up process that's at fault.

    Put your media that you want to adjust the speed in a separate sequence and apply the speed change.  Then nest it in the main sequence and do your edits.

    CTRL-K does the same as cropping - dont think there's a control key that takes bits from the middle of a piece of footage? 

    Ctrl-K at the beginning and at the end of the bit in the middle and then either cut it (Ctrl-X) or copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) it where you want it.


    hi Bob   tried that - 'it' is still knocking frames off the end of clips when I speed them up. If I pull the clip back to its full length - effectively adding the cropped bit back on - it puts the end on but misses frames between the original cropped piece and the restored end bit. I am flummoxed!! Tried speed adjustment both with a series of other pieces and with one on its own in a project.

    Try putting the footage in separate sequences, change the speed, and then nest them in a master sequence before applying effects and edits.
