Vegas Video discussions from 2006 (Q3Q4)

I use a program called "VideoReDo" to losslessly cut MPEG2 files, it works great.

Thx for that link, John, I was unaware of this particular app.

John Cline · July 28th, 2006, 12:31 PM

VideoReDo will also cheerfully edit HD transport streams and Z1 .M2t files.

Hey everyone! When I create a master for a replication facility should I just use the master output in DVD arch 3? And if so do I just copy the files onto a DVD-r? I do not have a DLT tape setup here.

Mike Kujbida · July 29th, 2006, 07:43 AM

John, I've done this a few times and I just supply them a DVD that I've burned with DVDA. Make sure to use high quality media and don't burn at maximum speed to avoid potential errors.

I was wondering what is the best way to shorten imported clips without deleting them and recapturing them. I am in the middle of a big project and have double captured a lot of footage and want to get rid of the extra without deleting the entire file and recapturing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Kevin Richard · July 29th, 2006, 01:05 PM

Do a "Save as..." and check of the option to "copy and trim media with project"... it will save what you have and trim it with head and tail that you specify after clicking ok.

Hope this is what you were after... good luck!

Mitch Buss · July 29th, 2006, 05:00 PM

That works but I was wondering if there is a way to do that per individual clips. Also, I'm editing a live concert and am running out of hard drive space. I have about half of it edited and want to render it and then delete the source clips to free up space for the second half of the show. What is the best way to render that and still maintain image quality?

Just the demo of VV6, I wish I could use it in VV5 though...
Also, what do I render out HD as?

David Delaney · July 29th, 2006, 05:29 PM

I am thinking of getting Magic Bullet for deinterlacing and 24fps - but I don't know if it something I do to the footage before or after Vegas?

Don Bloom · July 29th, 2006, 05:53 PM

Render as DV-AVI that will keep quality high.

Hopefully someone can answer this...

I am using Vegas 6.0d and am wondering if Celluloid will work with the Reel Paks in this version (the VASST website only says for Vegas 4 and 5) - or can the Reel Paks just be used as standalone FX within the FX folder in Vegas 6 (as I am not wanting to purchase Ultimate S right now).

Thanks!

Douglas Spotted Eagle · July 30th, 2006, 10:16 PM

Reelpaks may be used with any professional version of Vegas post Vegas 4.e.
The Celluloid tool is a free host for the Reelpaks,

Brandon Wood · July 30th, 2006, 10:32 PM

Thanks Spot.

Just wanted to make sure that I didn't have to have Ultimate S 2.0 to host them since the VASST site only says they work with Celluloid in Vegas 4 and 5.

Don Meers · July 31st, 2006, 08:43 PM

Just curious if anyone is using this camera with Vegas and how its going. can Vegas handle different frame rates etc
thanks
