One of my earlier posts addressed 'nudging' events in grid increments--something I didn't think Vegas Pro would do.
For starters, I was wrong. After finally spending a little more time with the manual, I found that the nudge feature does exist, but with a quirk.
The problem seems to be that the increment is zoom-dependant. A director might request, 'three frames earlier on that door slam.'. I comply, selecting the event and moving the event one-two-three frames left on the timeline. Depending on the zoom level, I might have actually moved the event six, or even twelve frames earlier even though I had selected grid interval/frames in the preferences.
The need for changing the VISUAL grid spacing with zoom changes is obvious--seeing a gridline-per-frame in a one-hour project would be a problem. But the snap should remain constant.
