Audio scrambled in Vegas Pro 10 render \ reimport
 

Hey Guys....I have a wedding video that I have edited 3 segments on 3 separate timelines for this project. Each timeline had the same project settings as did the renders to mp4 codec. I then wanted to bring all three videos into a new timeline for DVD Authoring and completion. However, when I reimported the mp4's (which, by the way, each played fine in Windows Media Player) the audio is now garbled in the new timeline. I cannot figure this out. These are the render settings I am using:

VIDEO:

Sony AVC/MVC (*mp4, *.m2ts, *.avc)
Internet 1920x1080-30p
Profile: baseline
Entropy Coding: CAVLC
Frame Rate: 29.970 (NTSC)
Field Order: None (progressive)
Pixel aspect ratio: 1.0000
Bit-rate: 16,000,000
Encode mode: Render using GPU if available

AUDIO:

Audio Format: AAC
Sample Rate: 48,000
Bit Rate: 256,000
Audio coding mode: Surround 5.1

Again I would render segment and then reimport into a new project with a fresh timeline (same specs) and the audio continues to be garbled. Any help is much appreciated!!!

Can you just cut and paste from one project to another to create one mp4 instead of rendering out a total of 4 times? It's what I do. Some use nested projects, but I don't care for that myself.

I suppose I could do that Jeff. The video clips are somewhat effects heavy so I do not if the copy and paste will take it. My system is an i7-975, 12gb ram, win 7 64bit so I would think I could do that so I'll give it a try. I guess I could do a section at a time if it gave me a fit.

Would still like to hear other suggestions too. My concern here is that I will have to re-render the video for DVD with all those effects as well as it being 1080p.

Thanks for the quick reply!

UPDATE: Just tried the copy and paste and it did not even begin to let me. I was afraid of that. Anybody with another idea - many thanks!

if the effects are track level that will be a problem but if they are at clip level it should work. You did open 2 instances of Vegas right? one with the original project and the other blank to paste in. I only ask because it's the most obvious reason for it not to work.

Jeff,

Pardon me if this is obvious to you, but you have set the Audio tab of your Project Properties to Master bus mode: 5.1, haven't you? I'm assuming your source is 5.1 audio.

can't seem to figure out where the mp4's come into it.

what was your source footage?

if it wasn't mp4 why are you taking mp4's to dvd?
