Keeping sound and video together

cgoose23 wrote on 10/16/2006, 9:39 AM
I actually have 2 questions.

First question is, I have used other editing systems in the past, mainly pinnacle 9.0, I like Sony Vegas much better, but I am struggling with keeping the sound in sync with the video. For example, I pasted in a short video clip between 2 scenes and it pushed my video back but kept the sound where it was...this caused me to go through and move all my audio back to keep it lined up. Is there a way to keep it together when moving scences around. Hopefully I explained it well.

Second question, Wide screen. I have figured out how to make individual scenes in widescreen but how do you make everything in wide screen.

Thanks in advance.

Use the RIPPLE option. This allows you to insert and cause everything to slide. There are a few options on Ripple so check which one works best for your situation.

What do you mean by this? Do you have footage that is 4:3 and you want to convert it to letterbox or squeeze? Do you want to change your properties to be a 16:9 project? What do you mean?

Thanks for the quick answers...

On the wide screen, I want my hole movie to be the 16:9 Widescreen, I clicked the Media FX buttom on a scene and it changes that scene, but I would like the hole video to be converted like this....It is recored in normal 4:3.

Thanks, this is like learning to ride a bike again for me, I know what needs to be done, some of the options are just different..

To do what you are doing but to the whole track, apply the effect you want at the track level (at the left there is the same green icon thing that allows you to add fx- click on it and add it to the entire track).

To lock the video and audio tracks together, select both and then press 'G' to group them.

Cheers
