Clip velocity

Widetrack wrote on 6/6/2017, 2:34 PM

I'm in VP14 and am trying to draw velocity envelopes on a couple of clips. Even though I see the Velocity entry in the clip submenu, and click it so it acquires the check mark, no envelope shows up on the clip. It's got a Opacity envelope, but no velocity whatsoever.

What am I doing wrong here? I've done this a hundred times.

Right+Click an event on the timeline...

Thank you, John. But as I mentioned in my post, I already did (right) click on the clip and--theoretically--set the Velocity envelope, but no envelope appears in the clip. The clip remains without a velocity envelope with which I might increase or decrease the volume.

Control + Shift+ E

...... velocity envelope with which I might increase or decrease the volume.

This seems impossible to me.
BTW . A clip on the timeline in this program is called an "event".

 

It does, indeed, hence my extreme frustration and sudden interest in chewing a handful of 10-penny ringshanks. In particular given that I just installed VP14 a few days ago.

So I'm uninstalling and re-installing, just because.

See my previous post. Display of envelopes can be turned on and off so one doesn't have to worry about tripping over them. I didn't think people used ring-shanks these days. Everyone seems to have a 36 V electric screwdriver and drives screws into everything.

Just re-installed VP 14 and it works fine, but still no envelope appears when I Right-click on the Video Event and select Insert/Remove Envelope> Velocity. Never seen this kind of thing before.

john_dennis, Yer a friggin savant. I'd never seen that one before. And while a good deck screw does greatly raise the possibility of later removal, there's naught like pounding a good ringshank or six into a structure to be certain it won't come apart under stress. Your later comments didn't come through on my machine 'til I'd already done the dance, but it does now in fact work. Many thanks.

When the contractor built my second floor, I specified that all flooring shall be 5/8" tongue and groove plywood, glued and nailed with ringshank screws... er nails. Thirty-two years later there is a squeak in the floor right underneath the chair where I'm sitting. If I wasn't retired, I'd fix it myself. 

Glad you figured it out.

Please correct the spelling of velodity so this thread will be searchable for future generations.

What's wrong with velodity? And do you mean ringshank nails, or am I being picky?

People should be more picky. Thank you.
