Vegas 9c and installing virtual dub antishake
a newbie in editing, i just installed vegus onto a new computer last weekend, and cineform neoscene. i have been told that virtual dub with antishake is a great free software to remove shake from many of my willdife videos. i copied virtual dub 64bit and it became saved on my c drive. question is i dont know how to use it in conjuntion with vega..i am just learning the latter. i cant install antishake from the website i found...any help would be appreciated..
last quesittion...do i use antishake, once i figure out how to install it, with the cineform neoscene avi files? all footage shot with hdv canon xha1. thanks ahead of time for your help. bill |

Virtual Dub isn't a plug in. It's a stand alone software. No integration, it'd be nice if there was.

Once you download Deshaker, VD should see it under "Filters". CF avi's should do the trick. I stabilize then import to Vegas.

Best to use VirtualDub on it's own. It's an amazing piece of software.

thanks for both your inputs brian and perrone...all my hdv is in cineform codec. apparently i am having trouble downloading deshaker, as i have the virtual dub file stored on the c drive. i realize it is not a plug in. i am trying to get to that step.
once i have deshaker, what is the next step? your saying import into virtual dub...stabilize, then save the avi file ? is there a loss of information or IQ..difference in bit rate? before i begin to edit in Vegas. I just got the vEgus software, so i am in a steep learning curve here. thanks again. bill |

I would read through the "manual" http://www.guthspot.se/video/deshaker.htm and then see if your questions are answered...
I also see above that your using 64 bit Vdub, I've found that the 32 bit version works better for me. |

And the deshaker is not available in the 64bit version. In fact, most of the useful VDub plugins are not available in the 64bit version so I just uninstalled it.

CFHD refers to the Cineform codec. What happened was that VD couldn't find the playback codec it needed for your source material.
How do you fix it? I think that's a Cineform Neo Scene installation question... or, possibly, something you would do in VD to point it to cfhd.dll in your Cineform install.

You can pursue technical support at Cineform - you've paid for it.
You can start a thread, and do a thread search over on the CF forum here. And/or, you can work around this by selecting a different format / codec for your intermediate file between Vegas and VirtualDub. Cineform should work, and it is excellent when it does, but, other choices that you might want to run a quick test on are: Lagarith AVI Uncompressed (large! file sizes) AVID DNxHD But, really, Cineform is a great choice. I just reread your initial post and realized that you are new to this sort of work - probably solving the Cineform problem is best, as you further develop your skills. Use of these other codecs also will have challenges... with the exception of AVI-uncompressed. That will work, at the expense of large file sizes.

Just this last weekend I set up a .VEG to deshake a large number of Cineform clips. All went well until it ran out of hard disk space (I prefer uncompressed output). I almost always deshake from WITHIN Vegas - rarely directly from vDub (although that would provide maximum flexibility). The New Deshaker Vegas script with default settings works well in most cases. You can get it for free from:
New Deshaker for Sony Vegas It works in Vegas 9-32 bit in addition to Vegas 8, but you'll need to manually change the directory to which it installs for Vegas 9. |
