Vegas Video discussions from 2004 (Q1Q2)

Try switching to different audio drivers (under preferences, I believe). I recall someone else having a similar issue and it turned out to be a driver conflict.

George Brackett III · March 6th, 2004, 08:47 AM

Yes Robin- I had the same problem. I switched the "audio device type" (preferences>audio device>audio device type) to Windows Classic Wave Driver. Haven't had a problem since.

I was wondering what are some good analog and digital capture cards that will work with vegas 4.0. Im trying to find a card for someone with only a analog camera.

Todd Metzger · March 6th, 2004, 01:01 PM

I personally use a Canopus ADVC-100 hooked to a Koutech Firewire card. I really like my 100. Very nice cap's and hassle-free. If you are strictly looking for a PCI based, all-in-on inclusive package, maybe the Canopus ADVC-1394.

Douglas Spotted Eagle · March 6th, 2004, 03:16 PM

The ADVC 1394 is really the only PCI card that is designed to work with Vegas. For a time, the two were even bundled.

Brad Higerd · March 6th, 2004, 04:46 PM

Will the Windows Classic Wave Driver prohibit me from editing surround sound?

Edward Troxel · March 6th, 2004, 08:40 PM

It won't prohibit editing but would limit "hearing". Check to see if there's an updated driver for your audio card.

Brian Maier · March 7th, 2004, 07:20 PM

Thanks

Brad Higerd · March 7th, 2004, 09:19 PM

No updated driver as of yet, but I do appreciate the advice. After making the suggested changes, I have experienced no problems with scrubbing.

Thank you all for your help!

George Brackett III · March 8th, 2004, 07:35 AM

Edward- I don't understand what you meant by the different driver limiting "hearing". If you mean audio while scrubbing, mine still works fine.

Edward Troxel · March 8th, 2004, 08:20 AM

You have fewer channels to which you can direct your output. I didn't mean you couldn't hear the audio.

George Brackett III · March 8th, 2004, 09:20 AM

Gotcha!

Harry Settle · March 8th, 2004, 11:20 AM

The ADVC-100 took all of the frustration out of analog conversions for me.

Ryan McCrary · March 8th, 2004, 03:31 PM

i'm going to do a few shots for a short to shoot directly to disk..

is there any way in vegas to have the histograms and scopes work on the preview footage so that i can adjust them before i capture?

thanks

Edward Troxel · March 8th, 2004, 03:35 PM

You'll have to capture the footage in order to run them through Vegas' scopes. Just capture some sample shots and run them through the scopes. Then, once satisfied, do the real thing.
