Hi,
I just completed a titling sequence and figured I'd break it off from the main timeline by doing it as a separate project, then loading the veg into the master timeline as an event. Seems simple enough.
The entire veg runs about 11 seconds -- there are multiple keyframes on just about every track -- just simple track motion presets. Each track is either an alpha transparent PNG exported from Photoshop, or a Vegas Generated Media event with a default length of 5 seconds. Otherwise, there is a "composite level" envelope on a few of the tracks. There's only one set of region markers -- in point on frame 0, end point at 11;13. Total track number is 6.
When loaded into the master timeline, the veg weighs in at about 9 minutes, 15 seconds! That's 9 minutes, 4 seconds of empty space added to the end of the veg -- ???.
I've reloaded the veg, checking all keyframe timelines and the compositie level envelopes for an errant frame, checked the tracks for accidental garbage events, and nothing seems to show up. In fact, just loading the veg show two things that would seem to have an effect on the veg's 9 minute+ length, but instead turn up to be unrelated -- the general keyframe timelines are 2 minutes long, and scrubbing the entire timeline itself maxes out at about 3 minutes, 30 seconds.
It's OK to trim the veg on the master timeline -- that works fine -- but I'm puzzled as to why I'd have to in the first place, and moreso why so much. Has anyone else experienced this (I did do a search before posting BTW)?
Thanks for any insights,
