Problem Setting a Specific Frame Length in Sony Vegas

[MolonLabe]

Hey Guys,
I have a problem.
I'm trying to make a short video. It's a simple concept.
I have 1,545 images that I would like to stream to a song that is 2 minutes and 21 seconds long.
For the length of the video to match up with the song, the images need to stream at 10.9574468 frames (images) per second.
So, each picture should last 0.00709219858 seconds.
I'm using Sony Vegas Platinum, but I can't seem to find a way to make this work.
Is what I'm trying just silly or is there a way to make this work?
Thanks in advance.

Someone else can probably tell you how to do it in Vegas, but you could easily do it in AviSynth:

ImageSource("...., fps=10.9574468)

Or in VirtualDub open the first image and the rest will automatically be appended (assuming the files are named numerically). Then select Video -> Frame Rate and set the source frame rate to 10.9574468.

in vegas pro you set the "new still image length" in seconds. options/preferences/editing tab.

Hmmm...if I were doing something like that, I might lay out the photos to be one second long, then render out to MXF. Then bring that back in and time compress it, and do it again until the length is matching the song.

Holding CTRL while dragging the right end of an event will expand/compress it timewise. But you can only compress/expand so far until you have to render out again, so you may need several renders until you get where you want to be, and the last one would be a fine-tune.

In computer lingo, this equates to a recursive operation where the output gets fed in as input until distilled to the desired outcome.

Basically you would be creating a "motion Jpeg" running at your "10.9574468 frames (images) per second", but you can final render to whatever you want.

I've tried that, but it only lets me set to the nearest thousandth. I can only set the frame length to be as specific as 0.007 seconds, which isn't specific enough.
At 0.007 pictures per second, I'd only have 1525 pictures after 2 minutes and 21 seconds.

Alternatively, at 0.008 seconds per picture, I end up with 197 empty frames. (1.576 seconds)
That might work, but when I set this option to this value, nothing changes.
The video still appears to be the same length.
Would I have to set the value and then just re-add all of the pictures?

shouldn't matter as you can drag the video timeline to shrink or expand to match the audio. (vegas pro anyway)

Hahaha, yeah that would be more straightforward.
