[MackanLarsson]

Hey wonder if somone can help me way the picture moves down when when a drag into the timline? i have checkt my settings but i can´t find any problems. because when a look at the material in the preview window it´s right but when a drag it into the timline i moves down?

Please clarify "move down"

Which version of Edius do you use ?

what tracks do you use ?, VA or V and how many ?

Did you change settings in the "audio mapping" ?

picture moves down

Well when ha take the file from window and drag it down to timline it´s moves down and if a don´t move it right the quality turn worse.

I have version 4.5.4 of Edius.
I use 1VA or 2v it dosent matter the same thing happens to all tracks.

The strange thing that a háve more edius computers and the dosen´t do this.

What wrong do you think?

I still don't understand what you mean by it moves down? do you have a screen capture showing the problem?

picture moves

Well if a dubbel click on a file in the bin window is shows in the left window if a have dual mode an then a drag down the file to timeline the picture moves down. so a must press F7 and move the picture back in postion. the files a import are 4:3 letterbox.

If a Capture files it´s no problem it´s only problem when a import files.

when you say the picture moves down, you mean there is black above the image and no black below the image in preview window????

how does it look in preview (left) window before you put it on timeline?

what happens if you drag from bin direct to timeline?

is your project setting 4:3 Pal or 16:9 Pal

if 4:3 Pal, then the image should be 768x576 square pixel in order to fill the screen

if 16:9 Pal, then the image should be 1024x576 square pixel in order to fill the screen

right click the image in the bin and check the properties to see what size it is

F7 the Layout tools, Anton is correct, the project settings were wrong.

Lucky the F7 key was mentioned, otherwise this problem would become a long thread before all of us knew what was going on.

I have been experiencing this problem as well.
The "moving down"-issue has ocurred with both 4:3 as well as 16:9 source material.
Mostly with 16:9 clips being added to the timelline in a 4:3 project
and thus becoming 4:3 letterbox.

The solution is to use the Layot tool, but it can become a tideous job
correcting the position of each and every clip.

According to the layout tool the clips are always moved 6.x % in the x-axis.

Reloading the project settings seems to correct the problem - but it's a
very annoying bug in the first place.


I'm I missing something in the project settings?
As far as I can see there is no way to change the pixel aspect.

Hi folks,

I've got the same problem, it's a real pain. The real issue of course is outputting files for the web, as players have no safe area so you can't even get away with having a 1 pixel vertical line across the top.

I still haven't worked out a solution - the best I've been able to do is use the layout tool as has already been suggested, however I still can't get it right. Any new ideas? Perhaps it's a bug that needs to be fixed.

I am using 4.61 and I see 0 difference between vertical position of clip in source preview window and timeline

the layout tool shows Y = 0 and X = 0

Anton,
I'm glad you put that out. I was starting to think it was a pal issue.
I have not seen this issue, at least on my machines, and they are all NTSC.

When working in HD, I have noticed there's a slight, but noticeable difference between using the positioning buttons (up-facing arrow, upper-left arrow, etc) versus positioning things by-hand.
