Thanks.

It works, but since I've got to do it on 30+ little clips, and each one needs to get moved exactly the same number of frames to correct the sync, I was hoping for a easily repeatable solution.

There's no way to slide a clip exactly +X/-X frames?

Place the cursor at the left edge of the video you want to drag (this assumes you want to drag it to the left). Then zoom in (I use the mousewheel). Test to see that you are at the frame level by using the arrow keys to put the cursor one frame left or right (you can see if you're only moving one frame by looking in the preview window at the lower right). Once you're certain you are at the frame level right click the clip and click on "Select Events to End." Then start dragging the first clip the number of frames you wish. P.S. If you move the clips, then release the mouse you have to do the "Select Events to End" command again. Also, if you have other tracks above or below they will not move with this track. Then you might want to do a Ctrl A, then G to group everything. Then ungroup the video before the clip you want to move to the left and go through the above process.

I just realized you may be selecting 30 clips in the middle of your video and not all the clips to the right. If so you will need to select just those clips, using the selection tool, or click on first clip, then shift-click the last clip.

Zoom in far enough so that you can see the individual frame tickmarks on the timeline. Click on the clip you want to move and use the 4 & 6 keys on the numeric keypad to move the clip left or right one frame at a time. If you have Auto Ripple on then all later events in the timeline will move as well. You may need to ungroup the video from the audio first if you only want to move one and not the other. If you need to move just some of the clips on the track and not later ones, turn off Auto Ripple then Ctrl-click additional clips to select all you want to move and they will move together without affecting other clips.

Thanks for the 4 and 6 tip, Kelly. I learned something new. (Maybe I should just finally go and have a look in the help file and learn some of those keys!)

Paul: actually i got that from other users here in the forum :)

Well, I guess this IS our helpfile! :)

Awesome. Thanks a lot!

Just a little aditional note on the key short cuts:

Vegas3 :
with Quantize to frame ON 4+6 = move by frame
with Quantize to frame OFF 4+6 = move by pixel (nudge); Ctrl+4 or 6 = move by frame length

Vegas4:

with Quantize to frame ON 4+6 = move by frame; 1+2 = move by frame
with Quantize to frame OFF 4+6 = move by pixel; 1+2 = move by frame

Hmmmm.

The "4 + 6" key option isn't a perfect solution. It slides the clip, but also moves the edit points (in my case dissolves).

The "ALT-mouse move" method works the way I want it to (it doesn't affect the edits) but it's less exact, in that I cannot nudge one frame at a time without zooming in all the way.

Oh well.
