Strange idea, but I need to simulate double vision with a clip. I've tried laying it down on two tracks, offsetting one, and adjusting opacity, but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I don't see an effect that might do it. Anyone have any ideas?

Doh, splicing together with command line doesn't seem to work with these files. (They are MOVs). OS appears to append them, and file size = sum of individual files, but resulting file has length in header = to one of the files, and any vid player I try (along with PD) only plays the first file's length of combined file, then stops as it believes it's at the end of the file.
... and tsMuxer won't handle them either. Throws error messages (loads files anyway) but doesn't concatenate them.
Unless I can figure another way to splice these together without producing/reproducing, I may be stuck having to play the format/frame rate game to get PD to handle these properly. Maybe concatenate them in PD at whatever format and frame rate seems to yield the right sound and best picture, then use those combined files for my edit.

Yeah, this is a cheap polaroid cube. For the price, it's quite handy, especially since it's so small and light, and has that built-in magnet, that you can hack together a mount and put it anywhere -- like on the brim of a hat. Downside is that footage is so-so, and files aren't great.
Never occurred to me to try stitching them from a command prompt. It'll be nice to DOS it up. I don't do that so much anymore.
Still seems strange to me that it would happen only on one frame rate for one file type, but what do I know.

I was getting this on a project too. It would go to 80, then 86, then jump back to 80 and freeze on load. I thought the file might be corrupt, so I tried loading a few autosaves and had the same problem. I decided maybe I had a funky shadow file, so I found that folder, deleted all of those, then tried opening it again.
The file opened. I'm not sure if it was blind luck or purging the shadow files.

Hey Folks,
I'm new to PD, but have been editing video for a while, and I'm liking what I get. But tonight I've got a strange problem. I've got 720 video from a little action cam that I'm putting together, and this thing doesn't shoot files of duration longer than 5 minutes at a time. It auto-chunks them.
NP, I figure, just butt-end them in the timeline. However, in a few transitions, when using preview, I get a moment of silence between the clips. When I zoom in, the audio track thumb shows audio the whole way. Opening the audio from each file in Audio director shows audio the whole way. I decide it's just playback artifact, and quickly highlight and produce that little transition, just to be sure.
Nope. Outputting it at 1280x720 (same as original) in WMV at 30 fps (same as original) gives me a moment of silence in between. Attached is an image of the audio track from both the 24 fps render and the 30fps, the flatline silence clearly visible in the 30.
I experimented with MP4 at both 24 fps and 30, and the audio seemed to do fine there too.
I guess I want to know if there's a reason the 30fps WMV render would be inserting this silent gap (and it did it a dozen times) or if this looks like a bug. I find it especially odd since the original video is 30 fps.
Anyone seen this or have any ideas?
