Adorage Fx Vol. 7 for Vegas 4
 

Adorage Magic PC Volume 7

Volume 7 delivers extraordinary and impressive animations as well as professional compositings for transitions, PiP effects and splitscreens. Hundreds of high quality Flag animations and transitions, Globe animations (with target stop possibility), new particle- and Light effects and many more flexible usable Tricks are included in this package.

Note: If older volumes have been installed and after that Volume 7 have been attached, all effects of the older volumes and of course the volume 7 effects are useable without limitations.

I also made my Lady X episode with Vegas if you're interested...

Observations from a long-time NAMMer
 

Here's a first.
I'm in my 26th year at NAMM. That should tell you how old I am.
This is the FIRST YEAR in the history of NAMM that video has been presented for editors. And, what's serendipitous about it is that
Adobe, Pinnacle, Final Cut Pro, and Ulead are all within about 20 feet of each other, with Sony being about 200 feet away from all that, with a couple other small video-related offerings very near by. WAVES has a new IR convoluted reverb plug that is totally revolutionary that will have major impact/benefit to location recorders. Lotsa video stuff this year, and it's a first.
I feel vindicated; the audio guys have been predicting this for years. The video folks have been poo-pooing it and saying it will never happen. Now all 5 'bigger' companies in the vid biz show up at the same time, and since I have some inside knowledge, I know it happened entirely innocently. Hilarious.
Rudy Sarzo, playing live in the Sony booth, is a huge draw for ACID and live recording in Vegas, too.

New scripts
 

WOW, John Meyer just deluged the Sundance site with a host of new scripts, some of which are very creative. Check em' out.

Problem with 256Kbps wmv render
 

Hi. I wondered if anyone else has had a problem trying to render using the Vegas 4 wmv 9 template at 256Kbps?

I had a recurring problem where the render of a two minute segment stopped three times at 73% and froze up Vegas.

At first I thought it might be an issue with something illegal on the timeline but when I tried rendering at 100Kbps and again at 1Mbps it went ahead smoothly.

Any thoughts?

Yeah thanks John, the Audit for event levels and Audit for blank gaps are pure gold!!!

Thanks, they all look great and I look forward to tinkering. I had no idea there was such a wealth of scripts available.

One question - when you say John has "just added" these scripts, is there a reason why they are shown on the site as having been added in December 2001?!

Thanks again for the link.

For a VERY subtle, non animated CRT effect, take a look at this .veg sample posted at the Sundance site.

I had a brief look at it this morning and it seems quite good (but I'll say it again, VERY subtle). Not sure what the missing .png files were supposed to be for, though, and whether they add something to the party.

You can vary the aperture by playing with the height setting on the checkerboard.

The included text works very well and I tried it over a still with reasonable results.

What's NAMM?

That's weird. What you might want to try is to select the template,
then hit custom and change the rate to something like 300 kbps
or 250. See what that does.

The International Music Products Association ... I guess

Well, actually it is the National Association of Musical Merchants.
