Vegas Video discussions from 2005 (Q1Q2)

What happens if you turn on supersampling?

Steve Roffler · April 1st, 2005, 10:34 PM

Are you going through firewire to your video camera and then from your camera to the second monitor via s-video or composite? I believe that is the correct setup for previewing Vegas on an external monitor.

I have got cookie cut images to move totally offscreen by setting the z values to -600 or -700 in the 3D track motion.

Whats supersampling? Sorry but I'm a newbie.

Edward Troxel · April 2nd, 2005, 06:26 AM

search for "Supersample" in the help file. That will give you all the info you need to turn it on and explain what it does. However, it will drastically increase your render time.

Steve, yes as far as previewing on an external monitor but I'm referring to having the Vegas layout across two computer monitors. Thanks

Fred Foronda · April 3rd, 2005, 02:39 AM

I have a letterbox calculator and matte downloads available:

I have no idea what could cause that white line you are describing.

Rob Lohman · April 3rd, 2005, 04:10 AM

Did this problem not happen when testing the workflow?

I would switch to work on the original source files. Yes it may be
a lot slower, but you should not have that problem at least!

Rob Lohman · April 3rd, 2005, 04:19 AM

Did you try to use any other interfaces? I have had my share of
(driver) problem with the m-audio sonica USB audio device. The
newer drivers never seemed to work (with digital out), the old
one that came with the CD did. You may want to play around with
driver versions etc.

Rob Lohman · April 3rd, 2005, 05:22 AM

Actually, the codecs do NOT need to respect aspect ratio (other
than to store the correct aspect ratio). The players need to
respect it. Windows Media Player doesn't even play DV in the
right aspect ratio (also with SVCD MPEG for example).

If you output to any other codec than DV AVI or MPEG-2 for DVD
then output at 1.0 pixel aspect ratio at the correct resolution.
Multiply the project PA with the horizontal resolution to get the
correct horizontal resolution.

MPEG-2 for DVD *DOES* need the correct pixel aspect, as does
DV AVI. Everything else, including all other AVI codecs, QuickTime,
Windows Media (HD) etc. should get a 1.0 PA.

Is it down?

Grazie

Aaron Koolen · April 4th, 2005, 04:57 AM

Graham Bernard · April 4th, 2005, 05:03 AM

It appears to be giving a SQL Server error message. I'm sure they will get it back soon.
