I wonder if it's possible work with scroll weel on mouse , for frame by frame editing the timeline. With simple drag the edit line, it's not so easy to find desired frame to cut.
Regards.

By enlarging the timeline you will be able to get to frame by frame-you can use the mouse wheel to enlarge the timeline or use the + sign on the right side of the timeline to do the same

Just checking, having rendered my project into 2 files, Mpeg2 for the video stream and AC-3 for the audio stream, I import the two into Architect, do nothing more to the audio file, create a button for the Mpeg2 file and all is well?
Every resource that I have checked is quite vague on what to do with your AC-3 file once you add it to your project in DVD Arch.

There is nothing more to do, or that can be done with the AC3 file. If it's the same name as the MPEG, and in the same folder, DVDA should automatically marry the two together. If for some reason it doesn't, double click the mpeg to load it into the Timeline, and drag the AC3 file to the audio track in the timeline.
That's all you need to do.

Is there a way I can insert a video timer, that will count with the video. What I want to do is give a sample video that someone can look at and say for example: At 3:43 minutes there is XYZ and I want that cut out.

I'm looking for a timer over the video itself.

Thanks for that Spot, I have the Intro to DVD Arch and V6 Fasst but didn't get my head around that.
Thanks again

Look at the Timecode FX. Just add it to the track and that should do it.

Steven Davis · December 30th, 2005, 05:29 PM

Thanks Edward, since I'm doing it on a multi track project, I just added it to a transparent layer. Thanks again. BTW, I've been enjoying your newsletters.

Edward Troxel · December 30th, 2005, 08:23 PM

Thanks. Glad you got the timecode to work and you're finding the newsletters useful.

<since I'm doing it on a multi track project, I just added it to a transparent layer.>

You could drop the Timecode FX right onto the Preview Widow to apply it to the whole project.
