Plus it is an effect on a clip, not the clip itself. Cant see a way to introduce settings that arent already on the inspector for the effect. What is a compound clip?
Encountered a new and very strange issue today whilst making a short.
In DV the music is perfectly aligned to the sequences, so every few seconds the shot changes (straight cut no effect) into the next scene on the beat. Its perfectly aligned.
When rendering though the music is behind. Only slightly but its very noticeable when watching and totally ruins the video. I played about, and this keeps happening. The only way I have solved it is by moving the music forward so that it is slightly early on the editor, however when rendering it then matches perfectly.
Never had this on DV although I used to get this years ago when I first started making videos on Windows Movie Maker. Although the lag on that used to be a second or two so much worse.
And then on top of all that, having just uploaded the short to Youtube the music track seems to have shunted forward slightly to where it was in the editor. So what has uploaded is exactly as plays on the editor - however when playing back on the desktop the music is slightly behind.
Also I feel like there is slight judder watching back the clip on the computer and on Youtube, but that is not there when I watch the clip on my phone / TV different device. All very strange.
Your computer is probably struggling to play the (likely correctly encoded) video and is dropping frames or having audio desynchronisation. What codec are you using? Many computers can handle h264 but rely on slow software decoding for h265.
H.264 @ 29.97 frames according to the delivery page. The PC does lag with certain things, I put some speed ramps in it and it never keeps up. The time line bar moves correctly but the playbAck skips and lags even with 720 timeline setting. You can only be sure exactly how it looks once rendered and playing back as an MP4.
Its annoying as I had the PC built with stuff to run DV ok, and although improved its never been buttery smooth when you really push it with effects, grade and fusion stuff.
@Pirbright_Drone I’ve never had issues with the music sync to the beat on final render, but often get stutter etc that makes editing difficult on my 12th Gen RTX GPU driven Vivobook and 16gb RAM.
I change the timeline to 720p, create proxies using DNxHR LB format and Render Cashe using DNxSQ
Also any complicated clips using retime and scaling, enhancers, Super scale, masks and tracking etc, I Render in place using Quicktime, Avid DNxHR codec, type Avid DNxHQX 10 Bit and include all the effects and render at source resolution (accept the lowres clips that I upscaled, when I leave this unchecked).
Even then I use render fusion output and colour output by right clicking on clip ( with render cashe on user).
Sounds a lot but it means that my playback is butter smooth and I can see where I’ve missed the right beat line etc.
PS, I’m guessing you know, but I switch back to 4K res when using some, not all, text effects that use the Dynamic zoom for example, as the text sizing is affected by the different res.
Remember that a lot of DJI equipment produces proxy files automatically which can be used to streamline the edit. They are the .lrf files found next to the full resolution video files. You can rename them to .mp4 files to save the hassle of making proxies manually.
Cheers guys - a lot of that is way over my head, I have self taught myself on DV for over 2 years now however proxys, creating timelines and rendering in place are things that I just don’t even understand. I am a whizz on the edit page, good on colour, have dabbled in fusion, but that’s it really.
As it happens since I posted this - I think I know the issue. I recently upgraded my phone and the frame rate for that I think is 60 FPS. This is double the Mini 5 and it appears that when I set the frame rate for a project to the phone, this is when it happens. It does iron out and I am able to work with it but, it can be an issue occasionally.
