No clue what happened when i clicked record. i just want my freestyle
Really not much information to go on with here.
I am going to assume that maybe a range was marked or there was a resource issue and it only recorded 4 seconds worth of material, perhaps you only had a 4 second loop, very hard to day without more information.
If you loaded in a loop sample that has a four second duration, then you will need to extend that loop to the duration you want the project to record. Because your talking about 'Freestyle' there is no set duration at this point, so I suggest that you extend the loop out to the 6 to 10 minute mark... unless you are recording more than that.
It will be easier to edit the over extended area later.
To understand how to extend the loop, you might first need to review information on object handles. You should have the ability to take the bottom right handle, left mouse click and hold as you drag to the right - thus extending the loop (forcing it to repeat itself). You would drag this beyond the location you intend to record. Once you have done this, you record as you have already done. The recording will now be for the full duration of the extended loop.
