Unless he edited his post he said he was using 6.0d

John Lorince · August 16th, 2006, 10:35 PM

I noticed that when I set markers they number them which I totally understand, but when I add a region for subtitle it picks off where I left off from the markers. Is this gonna screw my chapters up come DVD time? I obviously have never done this before.

I certainly agree on the mess in HDV TIME CODE, need to get DSE on the case, he certainly has a strong interest on the audio side of things, and Sony usually listens to him.

Maybe we can get Chris H to take a more active role in the 5.1 sound issues. I agree with HD displays becoming more of a norm in homes, and with 5.1 sound just as common place, the type of video work folks on this forum are involved to would in a lot of instances benefit from more advanced audio. After all the audio sections says 70% of the experience is audio, which I agree with.

The only video capture system that I have seen that starts to take this into account is the Sennheiser Bonsai digital recorder, supported hard drive and an adat optical 8 channel audio.

We just need to keep screaming ;-)))

No it will not. The numbers are meaningless - the LOCATION is important.

I have "WAX INVOKER" and "ADORAGE" plugins for Vegas with nice transition mostly, but I'm looking for other free plugin or trial plugin for Vegas for download.
Regards.

Excalibur, UltimateS, NewageFX and audio plugins...there are many available some free,some not. What is it that you are looking for?

I'm looking for different plugin for Vegas (audio or video), maybe I will find some interesting for me. Is any link (except VASST) where I can find colection of different plugin for Vegas.
Regards.

Edward Troxel · August 17th, 2006, 12:29 PM

You can try this one:

But there IS a page for this on VASST as well:

and there are several listed here as well.

Hi guys,

Quick question, editing a video on vegas 6.0 and all of a sudden some of the clips have turned red and don't show up on the video preview. I thought I had possibly erased the source file but they are in my bin. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I'll try this, however, I suspect this may simply speed up video. I am seeking a more stacatto effect). But I am a recent convert to vegas, so I'll try this this weekend.

And yes I have 6.0d.
Thanks forthe response

Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you:-O

Its a goofy thing but sometimes it just doesn't see the clip-I don't know why but you can try shutting down and rebooting the machine. For some reason that works for me when on the rare times it happens, a reboot works.

I have a Pioneer DVD RW DVR111D DVD writer, and DVDA 2.0 and 3.0 wont recognize it> I updated firmware. Do I need to get a Sony Drive ? Any suggestions of a new INTERNAL drive that will work ? THanks

Every video I've done, up to this point, has been 15 minutes or less. I'm now rendering a 48 minute corporate video and at 4% complete it shows right at 12 hours to render.

I'm rendering a .wmv at 720 X 480 X 24p at 300 bps. It has lots of clips, color correction, B & W scenes, color scenes and major audio automation.

Past experience is that the estimated render time will continue to climb until about 10% of the video is rendered. I'm estimating it to take 24 hours (or longer) on a 3 Ghz, dual core system.

My question is: What length of time has anyone experienced in rendering a feature length video? AND, how big was the file? Did you split it in segments? Were your rendering for DVD or another delivery method? What file format did you use? Were there any other considerations you had to make for DVD or other file format?

Thanks for your input.

Mike Kujbida · August 18th, 2006, 06:41 AM

It's a well known fact that Sony is slow in supplying drivers for newer DVD burners. For this reason, a lot of folks use another app such as Nero or RecordNow.

Mike Kujbida · August 18th, 2006, 06:44 AM

My experience with rendering wmv files is that it takes anywhere from 2 to 10 times as long to render (as compared to DV-AVI). All you can do is grin and bear it - and wait for the render to finish :-)
