Missing single frame in PAL.

Hello All,

In spite of the theory of subliminal messages not being noticed, I find (and my wife, too) that I can easily see a single frame in PAL at 25fps. I see a glitch and track it down to one frame. Then, rather ignorantly, perhaps, I simple delete the offending frame and it's accompanying audio if the audio is not needed.

It has subsequently occurred to me that I now have a video with one second containing only 24 frames instead of 25. Find a few glitches and I can end up with, say, a second of video, presumably now right at the end of the project, containing only, say, 13 frames (presuming finding 12 glitched single frames).

How does Vegas manage this mismanagement of mine?

Regards,
Neil Porter

Hi Neil. Vegas can handle video down to single frame resolution, so there isn't really a concern about not making up a full second at the end of the video. What is more important probably, is why you are getting blank frames in the first place.

I have found that I often get frames with glitches in them. These are White or miscolored pixels spread over the frame. I isolate the frame, split it on both sides back up one frame and split it. Then I copy the frame before, delete the bad frame and paste the previous frame in place of the bad one. I work only on the video track and I replace the bad frame so that the audio, which is the most important part, does not get out of sync. I do not usually notice the duplicate frames. Certainly not as much as the glitches.
