Quantisize to Frames

tbush wrote on 6/3/2006, 8:00 PM

Just was wondering if most of you keep the "Quantisize to Frames" selected. I guess it is supposed to be helpful, but I ended up with these one-second black frames in my finished product that I knew I hadn't put there. Since then....I have kept it unselected, but I have always wondered about it.

By all means, keep it selected!! You will create far more video problems with it turned off than with it on. The primary reason for having the "off" is for audio, which doesn't know what frames are about.

You can use my script over at VASST Audit for short blank gaps to find any gaps or short overlaps that may have crept into your work. AFIK, these result from nudges and other errors, not from the Quantize setting.

Yes, keep it "on" for video. John, useful script -- thanks.

I didn't write the Quantize to Frames script, although I have written several others. It was written by Randall Campbell who also wrote the excellent Veggie Toolkit, which you should check out here:

Veggie Toolkit from Peach Rock Productions

If you write scripts he has some useful tutorials at the following link, along with a few other free scripts:
