I guess I stumped everyone on this one. Anybody have an idea what "justified transitions" are exactly? How about someone giving me one of your silly work arounds for this one? Can't? I know you can't BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A WORK AROUND!!!

THE FEATURE IS BLATANTLY MISSING AND NEEDS TO BE ADDED....RIGHT NOW!!!!

Why should we care what you want?

ZiPee,

It must be because Vegas hates you, it works exceptionally well for the rest of us. It's a poor craftsman that blames his tools.

John

Righty, even justified transitions work very well. Don't know what the problem is about it.

Marco

Ufff, Zippy

THE PROBLEM IS...IF YOU WOULD READ MY POST...IS THAT YOU CAN'T INDEPENDENTLY JUSTIFY TRANSITIONS....THEY ARE ONLY DONE GLOBALLY!

You're defending something you know nothing about!!!

Learn what a justified transition is...then come back and make a VALID point!!!

>Learn what a justified transition is...<

Why don't you enlighten us, because I can only guess what you are talking about.

Gary

read my initial post. . <--- period

Your intial post does not explain what you mean by "justified" transition.

Never mind explaining though, because of your noxious attitude towards soemone who is actually tring to help you, I see no reason to waste another moment on you.

Gary

I vote for complete idiot.

All of my posts pertain to improvements that NEED TO BE MADE TO VEGAS in order for it to be considered a Pro application!! No need to argue with any of you consumer users because you have no idea what I'm refering to in the first place.

I'm a Vegas user...not a Vegas lover. SONY MAKE MY DAY!!!

JohnnyMac you should jump on wobbly's bumper and smack that monkey! Or decide to stop chasing butterflies all together. You decide.

Do you mean Options>Preferences>Editing>Cut-to-Overlap Conversions ?

You can "justify" it after you created it, it just a default.

Ab alternative, write a sctipt - I think there are some examples in the scripting forum.

Well, maybe YOU can't. But I can.

Hi there Zippy.

I've resisted replying to your more antogonistic posts, but I see that many people can't resist responding to your over-the-top negative tone - which I'm guessing was your intent. I've just posted what I think of your posts in general in that other thread:

http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?MessageID=215999&Replies=7&Page=1

Anyway, just in case you really DO want to know the answer to your "question", here's what you said:

* Boy oh boy! A day doesn't go by that I'm not
* running into some sort of issue with Vegas!!!

Not a day goes by eh? You use Vegas every day and you STILL can't figure out the basics of the program? I find that hard to believe. I think you are deliberately overstating your problem for the reasons I outlined earlier - it gets a response.

* I'll let you know up front I've posting regarding
* this same issue in the past , so don't somebody
* say "gee Zip I notice your other postings about
* blah blah blah blah blah blah. Well yeah you
* crackhead!!! I'M STILL HAVING THE PROBLEMS SO
* SOMEONE GET AROUND TO FIXING IT WILL YA!!!

Why don't you just learn to think clearly and use the software properly, instead of calling us crackheads?

* PROBLEM:
* Why on Earth can't I INDEPENDENTLY JUSTIFY
* TRANSITION?!!!

You can. It's easy. Each and every transition, quite independently. But why do you use the term "justify a transition"? Not only is that term not part of the way Vegas, or any other editing software, refers to what you're talking about, but the term doesn't really make any sense.

But in any event, you're wrong, because each transition can be independently "justified".

If you think I've misunderstood you, please feel free to explain what you meant in more detail. But please use Vegas terms - after all, you use it every day right?

* It is just absolutely silly that
* Vegas only allows "Global" justification of
* transitions. (Options>Preferences>Editing>Adjust-
* to-Overlap Conversions).

Ah, I see, you've confused setting the default behaviour with a "Global" setting. An honest mistake, I guess. Keep trying.

* I want to be able to
* decide how I want each transition to be justified
* for each occurance of a transition..NOT ALL ONE
* WAY!!!

Good news. You can. The setting you (incorrectly) refer to is just the default. Each and every transition can be individually "justified". Great huh?

* If Vegas is "Pro" it should have this right? All
* the other "Pro" editors do!!!

I bet they do! Being able to individually "justify" a transition is a pretty basic feature, isn't it! It's no wonder that Vegas, and all the others, support it!

You then said, in another post:

* I guess I stumped everyone on this one. Anybody
* have an idea what "justified transitions" are
* exactly?

Hmm, given that the term doesn't actually exist, I'm suddenly beginning to suspect that you're playing silly buggers now - deliberately asking a question using made-up terminology and then challenging others to define YOUR made up term! Cute, but kind of obvious don't you think?

Look, here's an offer - I teach editing at the Queensland School of Film and Television, I train the students on Vegas and I use it in my own corporate productions. I'm reasonably confident that I can explain any genuine, polite question you can ask about the software on this forum. Actually, forget polite, just make sure your question is coherent and shows a basic understanding of Vegas and its terms - no making up terms or using terms from other software (unless you identify the terms as such, of course). Care to take me up on the offer?

* How about someone giving me one of your
* silly work arounds for this one? Can't? I know
* you can't BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A WORK AROUND!!!

There's no work around because there's no issue. The feature you crave (individually "justifying" transitions) is already there.

* THE FEATURE IS BLATANTLY MISSING AND NEEDS TO BE
* ADDED....RIGHT NOW!!!!

Just out of interest - even if it WAS missing, what's the rush in adding it?

Your next post said:

* THE PROBLEM IS...IF YOU WOULD READ MY POST...IS
* THAT YOU CAN'T INDEPENDENTLY JUSTIFY
* TRANSITIONS....THEY ARE ONLY DONE GLOBALLY!

No, the setting that you think is global is actually just setting the default. Understand the difference yet?

* You're defending something you know nothing
* about!!!

That's possible, but you'll need to be more precise (since it seems to me like you're talking about Vegas in ways that are a give away that you don't really use it that much).

* Learn what a justified transition is...then come
* back and make a VALID point!!!

Yes yes, as I said, that's a kind of obvious ploy.

All the best,
