I am posting this in beta because I don’t remember this happening in v16….
I discovered a timeline playback issue with audio yesterday that is driving me crazy.
We shoot a several church bands each week with 5 cameras and a 24-track wav file for post-mixed audio. We cut these songs together to use in online worship services.
Each song is, of course, in its own timeline. I’m not using multicam per se, I’m using the cut editor version where everything is synced but the shot I want it layer on top (perfect with speed editor). After the shots are exactly where I want I merge into one layer (not necessary but the way I like it). Then lyrics are added on another layer.
The finished product is, of course, in its own timeline. That band timeline is dropped into another timeline, which is the main church service.
(Finally) here’s my issue. Every once in a while, when the song timeline is played back inside the program (church service) timeline, some audio tracks playback slower (or faster) than others. This does not happen when you play the song’s timeline itself, only when it’s nested.
I spent two hours screwing with the song’s timeline to try to figure it out. I removed all track FX (there were only 5-6 tracks that had any fx like reverb, a plug-in called stereo touch and accusonus’ voice leveler. But I deleted them all and it still had the issue. I also deleted not only the render cache for the nested timeline, I deleted all of them.
I have a top of the line 2020 iMac with i9, 128GB RAM, AMD 5700XT with 16GB VRAM. This Mac cuts through everything I throw at it (video wise) like butter. So it can’t be the computer is slow.
Anybody have an idea of what might be happening? In disgust I just used “render in place” but I’d sure like to not have to do that all the time.
