Thanks! You all brightened up my day.

Question about inserting a scene in Vegas timeline
 

I have a project with multiple layers of video during some scenes and layers of audio (sound effects) in others. I want to insert a new event in the middle. Is there a button to select where I can insert the event and all of the following events (on all layers) will move to the right accordingly? So far when I try it just crossfades the clip onto the current video events. There are way too many events to manually move them and more than I want to click on to make one big "group".

Anyone know how to do this?

Put the cursor where you want to insert the clip, choose TIME from the INSERT menu and enter the length of the clip.

turn on auto-ripple its the icon at the top with an arrow inbetween two boxes

Aaron,

What settings did you use in their mpeg2 encoder?

You can also untangle any program stream (that includes video
AND audio) into their elementary streams by using a demuxer.
Such tools can be easily found on the web these days.

Cpturing Frame Mode footage in Vegas 4
 

I shoot everything in Frame mode on my GL2. When picking my project settings in Vegas 4, is it best to turn the "deinterlace" option to None/Blend/Interpolate? Since the GL2 shoots "frame" mode by copying the image on each line, I shouldn't need to deinterlace correct? Let me know what your experiences have been, or if this even matters vs. shooting in "Normal" mode and using the default setting "Blend".

Michael Botkin

It should be None since there is nothing to deinterlace.

Well,
Those are great tools, but I'm still unable to get rid of the hum completely. I'll play around with a combination of filters and that should do it. I figured out that it's not just a quiet 60hz hum, it's really solid noise from the airconditioning system I believe. Vegas has some great tools, and they seem to be very simple to use well. Thanks again,

Michael Botkin

thanks Richard and Graham!

Another tool to use if you have it is Sound Forge. Even if you still use the track effects in Vegas to make the final filtering, I'll take a section of noisy track into Sound Forge just to run the Spectrum Analysis on it. In a case like yours, it'll show where the spectral peaks are, so you can identify where the filters should be applied. Then sometimes I do the edits in sound forge, and sometimes I'll just drop back into vegas and apply things there.

michael ...
i'll take a look at the hummmm . if you like email me a 15-20 sec wave only clip include humm and voice . render it out as wave at 16bit/48K ..

i'll take a look at it and if i can get rid of hummm i'll email you the Vegas Veg file.

be sure to keep copy of wave for yourself as the return VEG will ask you for it. ...

Vegas 4 queries
 

Anyway, I was putting something together in Vegas, and I letterboxed it by blacking off the appropriate portions of the screen. Since I didn't have the forethought to shoot for this framing, I had to move the picture up or down to get the desired framing, using the 3d plugin pac le plug-in. When I rendered this whole thing into a single AVI file, all the clips that I had reframed had a jittery, stuttery look to them, as far as movement was concerned. The other clips looked like regular 60i video. Anyone know why this happened? Anyone know what I could do about it? Without the letterbox, it looks less artsy, and of course being 30fps doesn't help.

Just tried the method in Vegas for converting interlaced video to 24p. It works! It rules! It's free!
