They just created a new product as well, and have a demo for you to use.
Well worth the free look and tryout, IMO.

Didn't Vegas 4 do Flash coversion?

I seem to remember that it did. It's a shame that Vegas 6 doesn't.

[QUOTE=Douglas Spotted Eagle]First, I'd recommend upgrading to 6d.

Doug,

It appears that between fixing the missing embedded file, and upgrading to 6d, the issue has been resolved. Thanks for your help.

Screenblast (early version of Vegas Movie Studio) did do export to Flash, but only one version, to my knowledge. No version of the full app has ever exported to Flash.

Vegas Preview window 16:9 etc

Ok, I just switched from Premiere to Vegas 6d. It's been tough, but Vegas is quickly growing on me. I shot some stuff with my FX1 in HDV and downconverted in camera into a new file with Widescreen NTSC DV settings.
On the timeline, everything looks great, but in the Preview monitor window it's squashing my clips into non 16:9 distorted image?
I tried another 'new file' setting, I think it was regular NTSC DV (non wide) and it put black bars top and bottom to make 16:9.
I'm new so bear with me.........does the Vegas preview window not show "full" 16:9? Looks like the aspect ratio of it's monitor is always 4:3 ish....even un-docked etc. Is this right?

Right-click on the preview window and choose "Simulate Device Apsect Ratio." You can also choose this in Preferences.

Ok that was stupidly easy. Thanks. I hppe you guys don't have to answer to many repetative noob questions on this site. I did search for awhile.
However, what does 'simulate' mean? Is the preview not dealing with the native aspect ratio?

Computer displays are square pixel, and Vegas works under that premise, so it must "simulate" the aspect ratio rather than actually provide it, because the rest of the display is still showing square PAR.

Splitting clip: Audio problem

Hi,

I am having this irritating problem. When I split a clip the audio portions of the now two clips are set to fade out and then in at the split point. So it looks like this \|/ . I have tried turning automatic crossfades off and on and auto-ripple. It is just an every so slight fade that you can't see unless you expand the time line so you can shuttle frame by frame but you can hear it. I have been going through and manually fixing this but it is starting to really bug me. I have Vegas 6D and I am working with HDV. If anyone has any fixes or suggestions it is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Mark

Depending on how you're editing your audio you might very much prefer to have those small fades.
Without it you can get a cut between two samples that are dramatcially different in level (from say a positive to negative value) and it sounds horrible, that's why that small fade is there. I find these little nasties in a lot of video edited in other not so audio aware NLEs.

Ah-hAH!! Thanks Mr.D! - That's another "mystery" sorted out. Or maybe it was your "Plain-English" that did it for me? [PAR=pixel aspect ratio]- Vegas IS very clever to do this - yes? - Grazie
