Render inexplicably moving and resizing things

Christopher-Zahrobsky wrote on 12/3/2020, 9:29 AM

I just spent two hours correcting the lip sync on a portion of video, because the original preview rendering was too jerky to notice it was off. I carefully corrected the compromised regions and re-rendered the video excerpts. It looked fine in preview but my machine wouldn't play the full-frame avi. The included image shows how all of the edited content shifted. Would it be possible to render a playable proof that doesn't require real-time playback of full broadcast resolution alongside the actual rendered output? Samplitude works much more reliably.

Hi Christopher and welcome to the Video Pro X user to user forum.

If you are having problems playing back so many tracks at once and checking the sync of the files can't you mute the tracks you are not syncing at the time? I assume you can only sync one video track at a time or are you using the audio from all the tracks together?

Once finished you can produce a rendered file within VPX that will play the project back smoothly before deciding to export the project.

Sometimes it is difficult to know another persons work flow pattern as there could be several different ways of tackling this.

In your screen shot it shows that the Lightning bolt symbol at the bottom right of the preview monitor is not activated ie. Blue. This reduces playback resolution to make preview smoother.

the original preview rendering was too jerky

You may not be aware that you can alter the Preview Rendering settings to a lower resolution and a different codec to make the timeline easier to preview via the top File Menu > Settings>Preview and Proxy Rendering (Alt+R).

Not quite sure what you mean here but of course you can export to a lower resolution preset from the File > Export Movie menu to review the effects and sync, but this is doing little different to the preview rendering option.

but my machine wouldn't play the full-frame avi.

Sounds like you are exporting to an uncompressed .AVI file which is almost never required and is straining your disc system. What is the specification of the original file(s) you have imported into the project? I am sure it would be some type of compressed file that there would be no benefit to a broadcaster to require as an uncompressed format. The specs. of the export should match the import file's characteristics.
