Export from Acid 4 to Vegas 5??

Hi,
I'm composing "music" for my home videos using Acid 4. Today I just encountered a problem when trying to sync video with the music. I was trying to emphasise the video with changes in music and I used loops with different default tempo's (from 90 - 120 bpm), Acid project was of 90 bpm.

I rendered part of the video in Vegas and imported to Acid, composed the piece using loops and rendered & exported it back to Vegas. The sound was no more in sync with video, instead it played too fast (probably 120 bpm vs. 90 bpm). I checked audio properties for the track I composed and it really showed that the original length was _longer_ than the value in "new length". I did a reset for new length field and it corrected the problem.

Question is: what "algorithm" Vegas uses when it read wav-file? Why did it change the pitch (i.e. the length)? Is there any way just import it and it would be okay immediately?

BR,

The problem is that Vegas will see the tempo in the file and map it to the tempo in Vegas.
You could I guess match the tempo in Vegas to match what it was in Acid or disable it. The way I usually di this when it happens is by right clicking the media and under properties set ptch shift method to None.
Sorry if I'm a bit vague, my Vegas system is in the middle of a big capture and I'm a video guy. Hopefully I've given you enough of a clue to sort it out. If not do a search on the Video forum, it's come up a few time before as it caused a few scares for us video guys whne our soundtrack went got sped up.

I think also there's a switch in preferences to disable this 'feature'

Right-O. Thanks! And yes there is a property in Preferences - Audio: "Import audio at project tempo".
