Timeline Resets After 24 Hours in Vegas Pro 22

Hello everyone,

I’m experiencing a strange issue in Vegas Pro 22. After the project timeline reaches 24 hours, the timeline resets and starts again from the beginning. I can still add more video beyond this point, but the audio track starts repeating from the beginning instead of continuing normally.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is this a limitation of the software, a setting I might have missed, or possibly a bug? Any suggestions on how to fix or work around this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I think not, I do not know anybody who makes video/audio projects longer than 24 hours or is able to view/listen to projects that long. How many hours/days of project duration do you need?

Thanks for the reply!

I’m not actually working with a single continuous 24+ hour video. I’m editing a two-day festival, and I’ve spread different performances and recordings across the timeline in separate sections. So the total timeline length goes beyond 24 hours, but each individual clip is much shorter.

I know I could split the work into multiple projects and transfer parts over, but it’s most convenient for me to have everything in one place on a single timeline. That’s why I was wondering if there’s any workaround or setting that could help with this situation.

It's very possible this was never tested.

How do you scroll and make fine edits in such a huge timeline? My timelines exceed seldom a length of 10 minutes, I prefer to make short chapter like projects which I merge together in one final project.
