Silent audio plays before looping

Doug-Burck wrote on 1/18/2024, 6:58 PM

I shortened the audio to match the last photo in my video. The audio continues to play silently to the end, "then" the video loops. I'm new to this program, how can I get the audio to match the last photo so the video can loop without this long silence? I'm using Movie Studio Platinum 2024 on a PC with Windows11, Intel Core i7, iRISx graphics. If you need more info, let me know.

Hi and welcome to the user to user forums.

Assuming you have started your project at the very start of the timeline, place your timeline cursor on the last frame of the project image and click on the ] symbol in the preview monitors control bar. That should produce a blue line across the top of the project time line editor. The [ and ] symbols are your range markers that tell the program where to start and end the rendering during export. Just make sure when you render your project using the 'Export movie as' that you have the 'Export Selected Range only' box ticked.

Ray.

Doug, if the audio is "hanging over" the end of your video object, then Magix will export to the end of the audio object, even though there is no video.

To neatly finish the audio at the same time as the video, simply drag the right end of the audio object using the bottom-right corner handle (triangle shape) to the left until it matches the right end of the video object.

You can then fade the audio out using the ball icon on the right end of the audio.

If you can't find the right-most object, click the "optimise Timeline View" button at the bottom right of the timeline. All the objects in your movie will be visible then.

Added: Magix will always stop exporting when it reaches the right edge of the right-most object, so if it keeps exporting after you expected it to finished/stop, there's another object to the right on the timeline somewhere. It could be down, out of sight, on a lower (higher-numbered) track.

This time I used the "optimize Timeline View" and it shows no pictures and no sound. Its like I lost everything. I will try to push the undo button.
