The VEG file is a Vegas project file. It contains information about your project
and the files it uses. It does not contain any of the video / audio (except for
generated media).

If you want to transfer something to DVD Architect you need to export a movie
file to either (DV) AVI or MPEG2 (with a seperate audio file) from Vegas. You
can then copy that file to the other computer over a network if it is connected
like that or in another way like an external harddisk. Then import the file into
DVD Architect and build your DVD.

NOTE: If you go the MPEG2/AC3 route and have added markers to the project to be used as chapter points, they *may* be lost when you copy over to the other machine.

Thanks
 

Thanks Brian & Ed.

Sorry, it is already rendered mpeg-2.

Then just take that MPEG2 file to the other computer, add it to DVD A, and continue from there.

Video Vegas 5.0
 

Greetings, im new in here but i hope this is the right place to post, and aswell that you understand my question. Im making World of Warcraft movies in Vegas, and ive figured many things out my self, but one thing still hasnt been available for me to make. I want to make some 'black bars' in the top and in the bottom where i can write something, for instance "Visit www.guild-x.com"
How to make these?

there are a couple of ways. The easiest being to take GENERATED MEDIA >TEXT>BLACK background. Type in your text then goto PLACEMENT and drop it down to where you want it. Use the TRACK MOTION or PAN/CROP to adjust the size of the black background to look like a lower thirds. Remember to watch you TITLE SAFE area on the preview screen.

That should take care of you.

Hey, THANKS a million, Gian!! That not only completely worked, but the result was exactly what I wanted and it looks absolutely flawless!!!!

Thanks again!!

That was the issue...figures user error :-)

File to external drive worked - thank you

Slowmo
 

I am just learning to use Vegas 6d, and one thing is not working for me. I am attempting to slow down a small video clip, and it just isn't working right.

If I use the shuttle controls while previewing I can get the video to look exactly the way I want, but getting it to render the same way isn't happening.

I have tried using a velocity envelope to change the speed, but it only affetcts the video, and I can't add the same envelope to the video.

If I just stretch it out by dragging it (sorry I forget the term for this). I have 2 problems. 1, I can't slow it enough this way. 2, the audio sounds horrible. The audio takes on this chopped up, echoey sound that is nothing like what the shuttle controls do.

So, how do Vegas users normally create a slowmo event? I need the audio to stretch out with the video, the slowed down audio is a big part of why I want the slowmo in the first place.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!!

Monitoring for a 5.1 Dolby Digital mix
 

How should I monitor the dynamics if the track sounds different once encoded? Should I work by the numbers; learn what +-6dB, +-12db etc. relative to the dialog baseline sounds like? Currently I use a trial-and-error approach of mixing by ear, rendering to AC3, then fixing the mix. I also want to learn how to use Dolby Digital's DRC feature.

How different is mixing for DTS?

vegas or vegas bundle
 

i'm looking to get vegas in a few months along with my camera. So I was wonderign is it worht it to go ahead and pick up the vegas bundle with the dvd tools in it. Is this a good dvd creation program?

I really like it, but I don't have much to compare it to, other than the cheapie DVD creation tools that normally come free with a computer.

You can save markers in your Vegas projects that can be pulled into DVD Architect. You can also render directly to MPEG2/AC3 in Vegas which makes creation of DVDs much faster in DVD Architect.

Unless you have another DVD authoring program that you absolutely love, I'd go ahead and get the Vegas+DVD bundle.
