Automatic overlap, before cut do not work. It actually make a after cut. I don't know if there is some cache to clear or what. One one project it worked file (pictures) with a set of file. With another one, with similar pictures, it does the before cut.
I have V.12 Studio.
I am using Vegas Pro 13, but this is probably the same (or nearly the same) in Movie Studio:
In the toolbar, select Options >> Preferences. Select the "Editing" tab.
About the 4th line from the bottom of that window, in the "Cut-to-overlap" section, is a selection box for "Alignment:" "Before Cut", "Centered on Cut", "After Cut".
PS: It is puzzling that the subject in this thread doesn't match the title on the forum page.
Yes Tim, that is exactly what I am doing.
Actually the Before cut, end up doing a after cut.
It does that on some picture folder and not on another.
Confusing. But the problem is there.
