Vegas Video discussions from 2004 (Q3Q4)

It appears that if you use Pan/Crop to create the PIP, the transition will apply to the entire video frame. However, if you use Track Motion to create the PIP, the transition appears to only apply to the PIP. That's how it is testing out for me.

Imported a cd track and most of it is just static, take it over to
sound forge and it sounds fine? Does the format need changed?
How would you do this? The disc plays normal on a player.

Edward Troxel · August 7th, 2004, 10:57 AM

What type of file is it? My cd imports are WAV. What program did you use to import it? What if you render from SoundForge to a new WAV file?

Michael Best · August 7th, 2004, 11:04 AM

Wow am I frustrated, I extracted from InstantWrite, Siren, and others, opened it in SoundForge. It plays parts, then silence,
but mostly loud static. I've tried importing right in Vegas. It just
a cd track from a local band burnt on a cd-r. I mean the file in the
media pool plays fine when sent to soundforge that's getting me
otherwise I'd of thought the file itself was messed up but Vegas
won't play it right, and that's the only place it won't play right.
The thumbnail for it shows a Winamp logo.

err.. wahts teh actaul disc.. some audio cds have copy protection which seems to be the case here coz the buzzin noise ur descibing sounds like the copy protection at work ...

Michael Best · August 8th, 2004, 09:21 AM

No, it's just a basic cd-r recorded at a local studio, no protection.

Hey guys!

I have just ugraded to Sony Vegas 5.0 (from 4.0) and it is of course fantastic! However, I am having a slight problem with an aspect of the 'Event Pan/Crop' tool.

In Vegas 4.0, say I had opened an 'Event Pan/Crop' window, I could move the grid with the cursor keys on my keyboard which allowed me position precisely where I wanted the grid to go.

However, in Vegas 5.0, I am only able to move the grid using the mouse, or by typing in the relevant x,y etc values under the properties panel.

Is there a way I can get my cursors to function like they do in Vegas 4.0, so that they move the grid in minimal measures?

I know it sounds like a small problem, but I find it terribly annoying, as I like to have the frame panned and cropped precisely to my preference.

Hopefully somebody can shed some light on the situation!

Thanks!!

Edward Troxel · August 8th, 2004, 12:35 PM

Moving via keyboard arrows was returned in Vegas 5.0b. What version are you running?

Sunny Dhinsey · August 8th, 2004, 12:51 PM

I see! I am running version 5.0a, which explains the problem.

Is there a patch of some sort that I can download to get this problem sorted out?

Sunny Dhinsey · August 8th, 2004, 12:53 PM

I think I've found the update at

http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.co...p2.asp?DID=496

I'm assuming this will solve the issue!

Thank you for your response Edward.

Edward Troxel · August 8th, 2004, 01:29 PM

Yes, that is the proper link for the 5.0b download.

Sunny Dhinsey · August 8th, 2004, 02:38 PM

I downloaded and installed the Update and alas, my problem is solved!

I know it sounds like something Trivial, but I was prepared to resort back to Vegas 4.0 had there been no solution (!)

Thank you Edward!
