Missing frame in Vegas project

Postby Chaobunny12 » Mon Oct 13, 2008 7:02 pm

One of my video files in a Vegas project suddenly lost a frame, causing a brief blackout moment in my video. I found the missing frame in the original video file.

The video was compressed with VirtualdubMod with the HuffyUV codec. It has worked perfectly fine until now. The missing frame problem came up today, and I've been working on this project for weeks.

Is there a tool to recover a lost frame in a video file? I thought there was, but I can't seem to find it.

either zoom in on your timeline and see where the blank part is so you can fix it, or stop editing with XVID/DIVX

No DivX or XviD involved ^^;;

I zoomed in and I found where the missing frame is, but my question is where I go from there to fix it.

(sorry i tend to skim over sometimes, and that is usually one of the big issues in Vegas using that codec)

well is it just a blank space on the timeline? or is it in your source?

It appeared in my source file too, which is what's weird about it. It's like the file suddenly changed after working fine for weeks.

I reripped the footage but I just wasn't sure if there was a tool that could fix a missing frame like that in case it ever happens again.

If it were me I'd probably cut the frame out, and see how i could fix it with editing... if its just one or two frames you might be able to substitute with a still frame of the previous frame... O.o
