The GL-2 has a switch for this like the Sonys? Our XL-1 just "handles" it and determines whether we need "in" or "out" automatically.

It looks like that. I'm a bit surprised, as I never had to switch anything on the XL1, like you mentioned.

Architect question-link an image
 

Hello,

I am diving into Architect for the first time, and have not been able to figure out how to link an image to a piece of video..I have read over the help files, but must be overlooking something..I am doing a simple DVD with 2 buttons on the main menu, I would like each one of the images to play a video clip when selected??

Mike

Hello,

Ok, never mind, I have figured it out !!!!

Mike

That was quick! ;)

LOL! :D

Yeah, it seems backwards. You have to create a link and then change the picture instead of adding a picture and then creating a link.

Just as long as it works. And once I got the hang of it, DVD Architect has never failed me! :)

before you jump ahead, i strongly suggest you read the SoFo forums as well as aother threads here with regard to Architect..

it DOES have issues...

good program, but many issues...

Another Architect question
 

Hello,

OK, Still in the learning curve on Architect..I go to the properties menu and I set it up to show my opening piece of video(I forget what it is called, but the intro piece of video when the DVD is first inserted and palys) Ok, when i go to preview my project, I nver see the intro, it goes right to the Main Menu.. Everyting else seems fine.. Just wondering if this is normal, and is there a way to preview this intro before burning??

Thanks
Mike

The "preview" button has a drop down arrow beside it. Press the drop-down arrow and click on "Preview All" instead of just "Preview"


As an alternative, once in preview mode, you can press "stop" on the remote and then press "Play"

It doesn't so much have "issues" as it does "missing features". It is a very stable and very capable program. Do I wish it had end actions? YES. Do I wish it has some other features? YES. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do in the next version!

Compiling multiple .veg files
 

Hey everyone,
I'm editing 10 games of high school varsity footbal and making a dvd. The easier way I figured out was to make each game an individual project and in the end just compile all of them into one. Is this even possible? This would be really helpful and less stressful on the CPU. Any info I'd like to here. Thanks

Layout the individual files with the same track structure (the same number and position of video and audio tracks). To combine, open the first project and then open another copy of Vegas with the other projects. Select all and copy. Then click on the location you want to insert into the first project, at the top most track and paste. I do this quite a bit when roughing up scenes for a film and then putting them together.

Here's how I do many events. Like you, I break different sections into different projects. When a section is done, I render it to a new AVI file. When all sections are done, I create a "final" project in which I import all of the individual AVI files.

Edward,
What are your settings when you export each scene? are you using meg2 dvd quality?

Anyways, that seems like the easiest way... I can't afford to lose quality through renders though ( I know there will be a slight lose ).

Thanks for the tip!
