Timming off while in Sequence Editor

[lleibeck]

I am having trouble getting the sequence on target while in the sequence editor.

It appears the timing is off and not always consistent while in Play > Play Range > Visible Screen.

Once I build a portion of the sequence this way and run Play > Play Range > Full Screen the difference is very noticeable.

It seems to be if I play the same visible screen over and over and over..... it cause the issue to grow.

Also noticed the Play > Play Range > Selection is off as well.

I am running;

LOR 1.6.9

Pentium M 1.70 GHZ, 1535 MB RAM

Vista Home Premium

What type audio file are you using, WAV or MP3? If using MP3, what is the bit rate? It should not be a variable rate, but set at 128. Both WAV and MP3 can be used, but seems there are less problems using the WAV format.

Thanks,

It's MP3 at 320 kbps. Can I change it to 128? If so how. Do not know much about audio files.

I will try to find a WAV file and see if that does it.

I take it we can't use AIFF? Must be Non-Variable MP3 or WAV?

Jeff,

Yes LOR needs to be MP3 or wav. For actual sequence construction I have heard it best to use Wav, you don't get the drift in time when you plan sections.

Lee,

Get a program named Audacity and the LAME encoder. You can do a search and find them in google. Audaicty will allow you to re-encode the MP3 to 128K fixed bit rate.

I use 320 mp3s. The issue is not the bit rate (unless you are using a mp3 director), but rather whether you encode the mp3 with variable bit rate, or constant bit rate.
Avoid the former, use the latter, and you should see the issue disappear!

While most use MP3 or WAV, the following audio file types are supported by LOR:

aif, aifc, aiff, mid, midi, mi, mp2, mp3, mpa, au, snd, wav, wma.

Video files supported are:

avi, mpe, mpeg, mpg, miv, asf, wm, wmv
