Huh - that's interesting. I do it mostly by feel, so when I set the value in other apps, I'm mostly interested in making the increment small enough so I don't get into a "too much, too little" kind of situation.
I don't really need an explicit value; I just need to get it small enough for tiny adjustments.

Thanks,

I had this EXACT same problem in earlier versions of Vegas. I thought it was crazy that the nudging keys would change depending on the zoom view. I primarily was having difficulty, where I was syncing audio to video, and I always wanted the nudge to be the same. My preference was a "1 frame" nudge independant of the zoom view so I could watch the video and nudge the audio until I was confortable with the sync and I didn't want to worry about what zoom I was last using when I was editing the audio.

The solution that was implemented into Vegas is that if you use the Numeric Keys 1 and 3 it will nudge the event 1 frame, which is independant of the Zoom. If you want the nudge function to be dependant upon the Zoom view then use Numeric Keys 4 and 6. This is a solution that worked for me and got implemented after I pointed out my application to SOFO, but I don't know about everyone else. You also have the snapping to grid options, if you want to drag the audio with your mouse.


Also remember to make sure your "Num Lock" is ON for the numeric keys to function as I described above.

Try the Numeric 1 and 3 keys and see if this gives you more of the feel you're looking for, it worked for me on the too much or too little problem you're experiencing. You can also use these keys to trim the events by entering the Trim mode. Hit either "[" or "]" to enter trim mode, then use numeric keys 1 and 3. It will trim the events by 1 frame. To exit trim mode and go back to nudge mode hit the numeric 5 key.

Thanks, Red! I didn't know abou the 1 and 3.

Can audio events be nudged by less than 1 frame? I am tring to line up a very specific spot in my audio with a marker (or, move the marker to the audio point). After zooming in I see that the spot on the audio track is halfway between the "frames." I want to slide the audio by 1/2 a frame to line this up right. Or be able to position my marker at this exact spot. The marker (and cursor) will only align to each frame, and unfortunately, my audio sync point is in between these frames. I need this because of a loop I am working with. This small 1/2 frame of audio makes a noticable glitch in the loop.

Is this seeming edit restriction based on the "video" side of Vegas, i.e. video frame based? Is there a work around that doesn't involve trimming the clip or going into soundforge?

By the way, this is an all-audio project. No video.

I tried going into preferences but found nothing relative to this.

Try unchecking Quantize to Frames in the Options menu.
