I've posted the link to Mike Crash's filter a few times before, but no-one seems to have used it, I find it works pretty well, I just have to fiddle with the settings to get the least deinterlace artifacts for that particular footage. What's your experience with it Glenn? What settings do you use?

DJ, the artifacting you talk about could be because when you convert 16:9 to 4:3 LB you are resizing the video vertically from 480 pixels to 360 pixels so fields might be getting a bit confused. If you deinterlaced first it might solve the problem.

Black and white video.... but there is blood in the scene.... and only it shows up as real strong red...on video...


Like alot of the effects they did on Sin City?

I have the procedure for passing both ONE color and MULTIPLE colors in one of the last 3 or 4 issues of my newsletter. Click the link under my name and go to the newsletter archives.

If it is truely viewed as a secondary monitor, it should work. I would suspect that the video driver must make it appear as a secondary monitor. Does your video card have two monitor outputs? Or is it only the single video output plus your "S-Video" output? If it's the second, it's very possible that it isn't a "true" secondary monitor.

Personally, I still use firewire to preview on a TV.

Is there a way to reset vegas (other than holding ctrl-alt and starting vegas. I tried that and it does not work). i dont have 20k through 320k. I just have 20k to 56k. Hopefully resetting vegas will fix this problem.

[Edward Troxel]

You could always try an uninstall/reinstall.

[Mathiu Zimmermann]

I actually got it to work now! My SVHS Exit is a "true" secondary output and also recognized by Vegas.

Now my next Problem is, that my "Video-Monitor" a TV of the real cheap kind is always loosing its Brightness/Contrast/Hue Informations that I tried to save using the Vegas color-Bars feature and the "http://www.videouniversity.com/tvbars2.htm " tutorial.

Is there a good programm out there to save me an ICM profile with "corrected" brightness/color informations to feed into the Vegas Properties, I have already tried Adobe Gamma (which comes with Photoshop), but I am not yet satisfied.

Thanks! Matthias

@Newdjeen: How would I detemine if it is Progressive or Interlaced.

[Paul Del Vecchio]

Can you view your video on the monitor in Vegas and an external Monitor connected via firewire at the same time?
Thanks,
Paul D.V.

[Edward Troxel]

When stopped: yes. While playing back: no.

[DJ Kinney]

Totally. That's it, Kyle. I need to deinterlace before the resize, I think. I will do some tests. But it definitely has to do with the workflow. Nice. Thanks.

On the Mike Crash filter, I've looked, I've tried, and it seems complicated, especially as there is no simple readme or rudimentary instructions. Can anyone give a run-down? Perhaps a seperate thread on that plugin would be in order.

[DJ Kinney]

Also, vegas has that plugin preset all ready to go (with differing degrees of success)... the most important thing would be to use a fake blood mixture to really bring out the colour.

FX -> Colour Corrector (secondary) -> Desaturate all but reds

But you should set up the scene so that you won't have other reds. You may want to even cool down the skin tones before you run that filter, as skin has red in it.

[Vince Debart]

Ok does this mean it’s an audible scrub?
