VP 22 - Set Actual .VEG Project Length

Vegas Pro 22
Windows 10

I've scoured the forum for similar queries about setting and/or reducing the size of a project to fit the actual length of the music video I'm starting to work on with no success for situations differ.

The 2/3 highlighted section in the above screenshot is what I need to remove. This is a recycled project from an earlier longer project that I had to clean out, but there is nothing beyond the end of the current composition's length that I can find.

Here is what I've done and looked into:

- Removed all unused media
- Do not see any hidden parent/child tracks
- Removed all markers/regions beyond where the video ends.

I use Steinberg Cubase Pro for my music and one can set the length in Project Properties. Usually I leave 15 seconds or so beyond the actual composition for wiggle room to test sketch a riff.

But never something 2/3 longer than the composition.

Assistance/wisdom appreciated.

It looks like you have a region marker at the end so that is telling Vegas that this is part of the timeline.

@DMT3 - Thanks. Nice catch -- though I must have created that region by mistake when making the screenshot to highlight the empty part for this post.

I reset my region to the music and related videos, and it didn't change the .veg length until.... I closed saved/closed and relaunched it -- and voilà. Project is now at correct length.

For once a simple solution.
Now, if the rest of life was that easy to tweak and fix... 😎

I found some errant markers just the other day causing me similar trouble in vp21. They were not visible in the timeline because they were so far out. But I spotted them in Edit Details and I deleted them there. Seemed to take effect as soon as I did that.

@Howard-Vigorita - "... But I spotted them in Edit Details"
Good to know. 😽
