Absolutely messed up exported video...

Hey guys,

You might remember me from the thread about messed up footage with OBS. Well, I am having another issue :(

Here's a video with the problem: The audio doesn't seem to work (sigh), so I'll just write the issue down.

Video Edit Pro completely scrambles my Movie! For some reason it gets exported to 4 minutes, even though I have 2:30 minutes selected and all the footage and clips are completely messed up, slowed down, out of sync etc.

In the end of the video above, I talk about this "Master_Object.jpg" showing up (I don't know how or when) and it swallowed the beginning audio bit on track one. Naturally I wanted to delete this, as its not something I put there, but I noticed its linked with the gameplay footage on track 2 below it. Unlinking it for some reason seperates the audio from the gameplay and puts it on a seperate track. After doing this and deleting this jpg, the audio it had swallowed re-appeared.

Where did this Jpeg come from and more importantly: why is Movie Edit Pro intent on making scrambled eggs out of my hard work?

I would really love to export the movie as it is in the editor. Thanks for your help.

. . . . Where did this Jpeg come from and more importantly . . . .

Which Glow effect did you apply to the video object on track 3?

The quality of the screen recording is poor to see exactly what effects were applied to the video object on track 3 however an educated guess is that the jpg is the placeholder for a video object that had the Glow effect applied to it and is no longer there or has been moved, later in the clip it also difficult see what you did as the jpg 'moves' from track 2 to track 1 and there is a video object on track 2 - the one that was on track 3 ? - this would suggest you deleted a whole track (1 ?).

There is some audio there, however it is somewhat muffled and intermittent.

Annotating the captured video is a good idea, it helps when stopping the playback at any time and looking at the state of the various controls etc you are using.

@nicolas-r

Is there supposed to be a continuous dialog describing what is going on in the video?

If so it is still intermittent.

I have tried replicating the issue, unsuccessfully, with what I think is going on in your video.

Yes, frustratingly enough it doesn't want to upload with the right audio track both on youtube and on here. I will see how I can get it done.
