  1. I have a single audio clip in the bin.

    I added several parts of the clip to my sequence. 

    Then i applied an audio effect to the clip in the bin. 

    But i don't hear the effect in the sequence. 

    Is there a way to refresh the clips in the sequence from the effected clip in the bin, keep all edit points?

    Free is a very good price.  Limitations include some effects and export formats.  When bugs are replicated they are quickly fixed or remedies suggested here. 

    Free isn't a good price for something which doesn't work. 

    Are you saying this will be quickly fixed in the unlicensed version?

    thx

  3. Hi

    When i increase speed of the first clip in the sequence, it leaves a gap after the clip. The following clips don't shift over to fill the gap. 

    But if i select the first 2 clips, and increase speed, then the following clips do shift over to fill the gap. 

    Why?

    thx

  4. steps:

    - Position playhead at desired fade-start
    - Right-click clip, click 'effects'
    - Click green plus.
    - Click 'Fade out'
    - The effects window instantly closes, and no fade is added. 

    any fix?

    thx!

    Update: Seems the fade gets added to the end of the clip, instead of play position. 

    Any way to start the fade at current play position?

    thx

  5. it would be nice if subsequent subtitles behaved same as first subtitle. 

    first subtitle goes to current preview position automatically. subsequent subtitles don't. That's inconsistent. 

    seems you can do some navigation in the timeline that you cannot do in the subtitle editor. Seems i can position the playhead in the timeline in ways i cannot do in subtitle editor-- like lining up play position with some other object or split. 

  6. thx, so i cannot change the text after pasting? i have to maintain a collection of text-clips in the bin, even tho' each one is only used once in the sequence?

    Ok, but seems extra effort. 

    i didn't use the bin at all (that i know of) in steps described in my first post. Just copied and pasted text in the timeline.

    • Create a text file and place it on the timeline
    • Right click the thumbnail in the image clip bin and select Copy from the options.
    • Right click the image clip bin and select Paste from the options. Each copy will be the same text but will be separate a separate file.

    what's a "text image"? is that different than a text-clip?

    so, when i create a text-clip on timeline, it's automatically added to bin?

    thx

  7. thx for info, guys. 

    saving out a new sequence and then importing will work, but if more clips added to the sequence afterward, then new probs. Hope this bug can get fixed. 

    does this bug affect all audio effects? or just amplify?

    The post was setting out some steps for you to check that the effect was actually working. A simple change in gain over the whole of a clip might  not really be noticed. A change in gain along a clip possibly would.

    ok, thx. But that just confused me. I can easily hear the gain-change on the whole clip.

    With no keyframes created the effect is applied automatically  to the whole clip at the value selected. As I mentioned though with the whole clip treated you may not notice a change. Hence using keyframes at different points makes the change more evident.

    Can a keyframe apply to the entire sequence of clips, to change gain for all clips with a single keyframe?

    Quote

    You can easily lower the volume of the whole Track but not all the clips grouped

    But not add gain to whole track?

    thx!

  8. hi

    If no subtitle exists, then if i create a new subtitle it's positioned at current preview playback position. 

    But another subtitle exists already, then when i create a new subtitle, it's added at the position of the previous subtitle. That's a problem. 

    How to automatically position the new subtitle at current preview playback position?

    thx

  9. hi

    to keep formatting consistent across text objects, i made one, then copied and pasted to other locations. 

    then i edited the text of the new text objects. 

    now, all text objects contain the same text, being the text from last text object created!

    these text objects are apparently linked to each other. When you edit text in one, it changes the text in the other ones. 

    How to unlink these text objects from each other, so they can have different text?

    thx

    thx.

    • Pick just one clip
    • Check volume is 100

     

    How? I don't see "Volume".

    • Click sound FX

     

    i notice if i'm not zoomed in enough, then the FX button isn't visible. Can't i just click toolbar > audio > audio effects > amplify?

    • Move effect cursor to start of clip (Left)

     

    Where's effect cursor?

    Won't the effect work with cursor in anywhere, as long as the clip is selected?

    • Click the keyframe button.

     

    Where's keyframe button?

    • Move the effects cursor halfway along the clip and create another keyframe
    • Grab the graph line to the right of the keyframe marker and drag down to the bottom
    • A bit further along drag it back to half way up. Should look a bit like this....

    is all that necessary? Can't i just set the gain for the whole clip using the gain slider or typing the number?

    so, if my sequence has 50 clips, then i have to separately set the volume for each one?

    if i'm not zoomed in far enough, some clips might be too short to even see them. So i might miss them.

    If you have grouped several clips it seems that the sound effects will only affect the first clip of the block, or the clip selected first before the group is made even though VP recognizes that you have grouped a number together. This appears to be an error.(I think it has been noted before in previous versions.)  A Bug report has been sent.

    Wow. Pretty huge error!

    Any other way to apply an effect to all clips, that will work in current version?

    thx

    you can add your text and position it within the frame, and scroll it if required, You can use any font and set it any size. You can have more than one line of text, even lines in different colours if multiple overlays are used.

    That's exactly what i DON'T want. My subtitles will be a mess. Plus the extra time and effort to format them. 

    I use subtitles instead of Text, so that the formatting is automatically correct and consistent, and there's no risk that i will mess it up. That also eliminate time and effort spent on formatting. 

    IMO, the best way is to put subtitles in the timeline, and move them with clips during editing, same as audio track is moved with clips.
