Project Saving

[biferi]

I use Movie Studio 15 and Win11 DeskTop Computer.

If I just want to keep Adding Media to my TimeLine and just save the project as is so I can always go back and edit it I save it as .vf File.

I have a 20 Minute video and I Import it into my Timline then I can Cut it down to just the 5. Minute part I want.

Even if I save my project as .vf File so it is not compressed yet I still have to keep the my 20 Minute video because my TimeLine always points to it when it opens.

Is there anyway I can have Movie Studio just save the Media that is in my TimeLine that is already Cut up and will not need to point to the 20 Minute video every time it opens?

try losslesscut ..

Than you for the help.

I wanted to ask I see after you open a video in losslesscut you can use the Keyboard Keys to move to the parts you want to keep.

Is there a way to make it move in smaller steps?

Every time I press the Right Arrow Key it will move but is this set Increments?

[biferi]

Can anybody help?

I don't use keyboard shortcuts but you can configure all of them in settings.

To step one frame at a time:
1- click the person like icon [#1] to switch between simple & advanced mode.
2- In adv. mode, <> buttons [#2] step one frame at a time

Thanks for the help.

After I click click the person like icon the Window to the Right of it says X1. Zoom.

I just wanted to know what this is telling me?

One other thing I know I can have the Audio Mute but does this tell me after it exports the File the Audio will be Exported but it will just be Mute?

I ask because I would like to just Export the Video without the Audio to save Disc Space.

I know even if Audio is Mute the Track will still be there this is why I ask.

[You can click/unclick audio track to include/exclude from export]

@Biferi, I suggest you post your question to the Vegas experts on the Vegas forum. I see no reason to replace a decent non-linear video editor like Vegas MS with Losslesscut, which is NOT an NLE and isn't even frame-accurate.

Everything is working good.

I did need help with one ther thing and I did post it in my Movie Studio Forum but nobody knows about this program.

I cut a clip from my video and export it as mp4 with audio then I jus export the same clip again but without audio.

I open both clips in MediaInfo and they both are 218 MB in size.

I did check and yes the other video has no audio so what is going on?

I thought it would save me space on the Hard Drive.

@Biferi, It would help us figure out what's going on if you share your video online
and share a link to it here.

If content is private you can share the link in a private message [pm].

@Biferi
Are both files showing 218mb in windows explorer?

in Media Info both are 218 MB.

[biferi]

If I Right click the File on the DeskTop and just use the Windows Menu to check.

Let me look at the File in MediaInfo and get back to you.

[biferi]

In MediaInfo the File size with audio is 219 MiB.

In MediaInfo the File size withput audio is 218 MiB.

So it is just one Byte smaller am I Right?
