Anyone see this before?
I had two music clips and I want to flow one into the next. Because they were jarringly different styles, I split the end off of the first and wanted to slow it down a bit so the transition wasn't so bad.
Now, Vegas doesn't appear to allow any kind of envelope or keyframe based speed changes on audio like it does on video. Is this correct or did I miss something?
I found I could apply time stretching, but ONLY at the track level. So, I took the second half of the clip, put it on its own time-stretched track, and lined it up directly underneath the end of the first half, then put the second music clip on the first track lined up with the end of the slowed down second track audio.
Okay, so I try it and it previews fine. Then I render it to mp3, and there's a big blank spot where the slowed clip should be playing. It's as if I rendered with Track 1 soloing or track 2 muted, but it wasn't. Tried preview again, sounded fine. Tried rendering to wave, same empty hole.
Finally, I applied non real-time slowdown to the clip, and pasted the new file into track one in the appropriate place. This worked, and I had my effect. But it seems that I should not have had to resort to that.
Any idea why this doesn't work?
I realize I should have just gone and found a good sound editor, but I was too lazy and just wanted to do this quick thing in Vegas. Does anyone else do minor sound editing in Vegas, or is everyone here more sophisticated than that? If you use another program, what do you use?
