Creating Loops (VJ'ing)

Reference: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vjamm/messages (posts 421 & 423)..

I use VJamm to mark regions within a long piece of video and then export each region to a separate AVI file. Often I will shut off the Quantize-to-Frames feature because I am trying to mark regions more precisely than frame quantization will allow - in order to cull one measure of music within a clip, for instance, so that it will loop perfectly in time.

This is the case within the Vegas interface, but it is being claim that the legal spec of the AVI format is such that the resultant exported AVIs will always round to the nearest frame, and therefore be slightly longer than the actual region that was selected?

If so, would SF consider an option to allow export these "illegal" non-integer frame length) AVI's?

Hi Fong,

I think the issue may be that video is frame-based... it can only play entire frames.

Are you exporting the single loop element or are you looping segments before exporting?

If you are exporting/rendering single loop elements, you might try adjusting the speed of the audio to fit the duration of the video... the resulting change in pitch or tempo may be insignificant.
