Need assistance with a DJ Simplexity project

YesMaestro wrote on 7/22/2014, 10:28 AM
I have a client that wants to use one of them, DJ Simplexity #3-Block Openings. Issue I am having is that I need the sections to be longer and there are keyframes on every frame of the dropzone tracks, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10967333/Simplexity.jpg . Is it possible to lengthen them? Ctrl+drag only lengthens the clip and does not adjust the keyframes.Thanks
Paul

You should be creating the correct scene length, color and file format as I recall in Juicer. Then fine adjust scene length in VegasPro with tools on the timeline.
Once, the scene length is correct, you insert the keyframes as needed. Finally adjust the duration for key frame changes occurring in sync with timeline cursor.

I don't believe that you can do that with DJ Vegas project templates, via the Juicer.

I couldn't find a way with the Juicer. I'm hoping someone here has more experience using these templates.

Paul,
Here's one thing you can try. Not sure if it will end up with what you need, but...

I took a look at that project and see that the keyframes for the dropzones are track motion keyframes. IOW - they animate the dropzone.

If you lengthen the duration of the dropzone, and realign the keyframes, the animation will be slower, I think.

So here goes...

Lengthen the dropzone clip to the length you want. Open track motion, and in the keyframe area, drag around all the keyframes. Then hold the ALT key and drag the right/end keyframe to align with the new end of the clip. This space out the keyframes evenly to the new length.


You can apply this logic to the other elements that use keyframes and you lengthen.

You're a genius Tom! Worked like a charm. This is what is great about this forum. It would never have dawned on me to do that. Thanks again.

Looks like Tom was on the right track and I was apparently not really realizing the Juicer limitation with the provided structure.

So glad it worked for you Paul. :-)
