Last clip position is not saved and Clip Source / actual output out of sync

Hell everyone,

I have a setup with 3 Layers and with a Media Bin for each layer.
Each media bin has loaded the same page.

Because I want the clip to be resumed at the last position when it is triggered, I checked the “Movie Start Time” attribute in the file inspector of each file.

Theoretically it works when I look at the source panel of the clip: its resume where it stopped the last time. However, when I check the actual output it starts at the very beginning. That means the source panel runs out of sync with the actual output.

Can anyone please help me with this?

Thank you, Michael

I believe this is related to a bug with saving and triggering the start movie times. If you set and in or out on a clip, VDMX saves it, but when you play that clip back, VDMX still starts at the beginning (wrong time).

I am still seeing this behavior. I load a clip into a layer and set the in and out points using the slider, but everytime I fire that clip from the Media Bin by clicking on it, it starts at the beginning of the clip rather than the in point I have designated… If I click the clip again it then starts at the correct place. If I select a new clip for that layer, and then again re-select the first one, it does the same thing, starts at the beginning of the clip instead of the IN point I have designated. What I DO see , however, is that if I let the clip loop (or reverse loop) once it makes a complete loop of the length of the clip, it kinda ‘catches up with itself’ and syns to the in and out points. I suppose I can remedy this by just editing the orignal clips to the exact in and out points and leave the in and out points as actual clip start and end.

Hello, which version of VDMX are you referring to, what are your system specs? This post is over two years old, please make sure you are using the latest version of VDMX5 and 6

Sorry my apologies on the lack of details. I am using VDMX 6+ v 1.2.1 and an M1 Max Macbook Pro running MacOS 15.6.1
