Photoshop instructions, which show you "stepwise" sepia toning:

You might just want to check it out even if you don't plan on using Photoshop, because they use multiple tones for the sepia look (and that looks better).

I have a sequence that I've created and when I inserted the video I deleted the audio track. Is there any way to get it back without having to re-insert it?

Thanks guys!

Undo???

Steven VanHorn · March 13th, 2005, 02:19 PM

Yea...it was saved and re-opened.

No hope of undo

I am trying to burn an audio CD using Vegas. WHenever I click on any CD options (including CD tab in preferences) system just hangs while it looks for CD drives. I have two different CD drives that are recognized by every other program but Vegas. WHen I click on burn track at once it does the same thing. The project file has one MP3 file as source, broken into 4 tracks, but I doubt that matters.

Any clues? Or is there a better way to burn an audio CD using Vegas (or Soundforge or Nero) ? SHould I be doing some kind of rendering and then a different program to burn, like I have to do with DVDs?

If you're saying that you want to get back the audio that belongs to a video event, then, yes, Excalibur's Orphan Wizard does just that (and visa versa too).

I figured it out

Right click on the event, open in trimmer, double click event, select audio only, drag to timeline.

Hope this helps!

I've heard that VirtualDub plug-ins are compatible with Vegas 5. Is it true, and how to use them in Vegas? For example, I downloaded DESHAKER plug-in for VirtualDub, which is compatible with Vegas as I red somewhere. So?

Troy Haines · March 13th, 2005, 07:43 PM

Hi

Yeah I loaded the clip into vegas media pool, right clicked properties and the rate is set to 50 frames. problem is the drop down menu used to change it is greyed out. I use D-VHS to capture so I have tried capturing from all over the place. Need to know how to change that frame rate down to 25.

Edward Troxel · March 13th, 2005, 08:53 PM

Many (but not all) can be used by loading them in the WAX plugin available at http://www.debugmode.com. You can also use the Frameserve software at the same location to frameserve to VirtualDub.

That will work. The method Gary mentioned is faster and easier, though.

Steven VanHorn · March 13th, 2005, 08:56 PM

Thanks to all.

You're right, Edward. Is there anything that Excalibur can't do?

Edward Troxel · March 13th, 2005, 08:59 PM

So you're saying when you go to Tools - Preferences you can't click on the "CD Settings" tab?

If that is the case, you may need to contact Technical Support to see if they can help.

Edward Troxel · March 13th, 2005, 09:00 PM

Anything? Yes. But we're working on that too! :-)

If so, what do you think of it? And -- are there any other similar options out there?

Thanks --
