"New" time added and time settings not matching

Hi - I had created a new movie for You Tube last night and swear I ended it at 14:29
since I am on that 15 min limit with You Tube. I rendered to a HDV 720 - 30 P format as a M2T.
But somehow the final file was 17:59 and You Tube kicked it out.
I opened that M2T file and sure enough there was a few minutes of black
video at the end.
I then edited out that piece and re-saved (with a fresh file name) to 14:29, opened and closed VMS then re-opened the file to see the 17:59 time still showing in the properties view under Project Media. Even though my timeline view ends at 14:29.

Is this some kind of corruption? Should I start all over again with the source files?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill

Well I was looking over the timelines and noticed a tiny sliver of audio out at that 17:59 mark and deleted it so now things should be okay.

Sorry for the disruption.

Take care,
Bill

A lot of us have done that, Bill. Some isolated little event or text or something gets pushed way out past the end of the project and we don't event realize it's out there. But Vegas will dutifully render to the end of the last event on the timeline.

Your post is a good reminder to everyone to watch for this sort of thing. Thanks.

Yep, i usually click the "move cursor to end of project" button to see where Vegas *thinks* the project ends before i render.

Hi - Thanks for that tip about the cursor; I will use that to check this more often when doing my final processing. (Especially with You Yube which takes my Clear modem 5 hours for 15 minutes of upload content)

Thanks,
Bill

i find it odd that they limit the length of the file, but not the size.

Once you've uploaded a few video (3 I think it was by me) YT send a nice little message stating what a good chap you've been and these restrictions are then lifted.

I am now in the over 15 minute club with You Tube.

I self-signed up and the main hitch is that all content must have no copyright restrictions. One mistake and they boot you back to the 15 minute default mode.
I found out that certain songs will trigger a copyright violation and others will not.
I do not value the over 15 minute option that much since a lot of viewers enjoy shorter clips. Can always do a Part 1, Part 2...

At first I read where YT "invites" you to post longer clips but that seems to have changed.

Thanks,
Bill
