Ever since Avid Studio, you never been able to delete individual scenes. As Yann says, scenes are just a list of timecondes that define the In and Out points of the scene detection on a single clip.The orginal workflow for this operation is to take into account that Pinnacle have always recommended converting scenes into shortcuts (LIbrary clips ...

mikec578:jjn, I replied with a screen shot of my Export Settings showing you the 720x480 option...  but it's now waiting for approval as there's an image in my reply...  How to post a screenshot: http://forums.pinnaclesys.com/forums/thread/326384.aspx (I can't find you post to moderate/approve - I think screenshots posted in any ...

Where are you finding this 720*480 setting?

Basically, yes. You don't say how this files were captures (I'm guessing that you don't know that!) but if it involves any possibility that the files are using variable frame rate, even if the headers do bot say so, then reencoding them might will fix the issue. It certainty works with phone footage. Are these items that could have been captured ...
