Auto Pilot Problem

Post by cfv1961 »

Please I need help. I have several layers with activated auto pilot, they contain video and images in the same column, when all active column to run all the videos and images containing not end all at once to jump to the next column. my videos last 2:25 and establish the duration of the images to 145000 milliseconds but not end all at once and launch clips in the next column at different times.
Sorry for my English.
Thank you.

does your resolume play audio files smoothly?
it could be that the buffer setting has to be adjusted - timings are dependent on the sound device

yes play sounds smoothly but I'm afraid the same thing might happen with the video. As I can adjust the buffer ?.

just tested my setup and I can get the files out of sync
- with wrong buffer sizes AND if the video file has audio stream.
- or if the main composition speed is not the default AND the video has audio stream.

edit: what is the time difference for the launch?

and which timing is correct if you measure with stopwatch?

I don't use prores codec, others may know if it could cause this kind of problem.

by the way, that clip is 2:26, not 2:25!
set your still image duration to 146146 ms

I made a test now changing the values 146146 and is doing the wrong jump, images jump to the next column about when the video takes time of 02:20. The weather had set in 2:25 in transport.
I recommend that codec than ProRes to try to re-encode the video.
By the way thank you, you're very kind

you could try DXV that comes with resolume, and uncompressed audio.

I use MacBook Pro and video encoder as Final Cut Pro but do not appear to encode DXV. you recommend me to use as video encoder for a test.
