Vegas Video discussions from 2006 (Q1Q2)

[Mike Kujbida]

Thanks Emre. Glad it worked for you.
The funny (OK, weird) thing is that I never use the "View - Audio Bus Tracks" feature :-)

[Emre Safak]

Me neither. That's why you're da man. I ended up using Track Automation and individually adjusting the tracks. I was worried I would have to move every single point in the envelope. Perish the thought!

[Mark Donnell]

When I move an event to the timeline with other events, and then decide to delete that new event, I have to right-click on the video portion, delete it, then right-click on the audio track and delete it. Is there a way to delete both the event's video and audio tracks in one action ?

[Mathew Kurtz]

I just double-click on the event and press delete.

I'm looking for more aditional transition for Vegas 6, like 3D flying cubes and so.
I have instaled WAX 20 but I can't use it's transitions, after applaying some transition Vegas always ask me about some process I shuld do first: (chain in FX filters must be enabled, clips must be online.............................) Even when I do everything that Vegas asks for using those transitions still same message appears.Maybe some other transitions are aveilable for free download.
Regards.

I posted in another thread the problems with frame innaccuracy I'd been having when replacing avi proxy's with original m2t after editing. I've now solved it. I discovered some disrupted frames (appear blank) in the first second of the captured footage. These disappear in the rendered proxy meaning that frames are then out of sync between the two files. This of course leads to problems on replace with stray frames at each cut. The solution has been not to select 'capture whole tape', but to start the tape running manually and then click the capture record. It does mean I've had to recapture the tapes but its worth it and saves a lot of time.

Hope this helps others who were also experiencing the same problem.

You would have to invoke the script when you start working on a project and invoke it again when you stop but it is quite possible. There is actually no need for it to e a script; any windows application can do this for you. I’m sure there are lots of project management programs that could help you log your time much better with more functionality.

Thanks John, I'm just lazy and was looking for a background script. But yeah, I'll look into some others.

[John Rofrano]

A background script would not be possible because scripts can’t run in the background. So you would have to remember to invoke it when you wanted it to log your time. You would have to tell it if you are starting or stopping. It would need to check if you log two starts or two stops in a row, etc. At that point, you could be invoking any time management program that is designed to do this and could probably bill for your time too.

I had a computer crash, reinstalled Vegas Movie Maker + Platinum and I captured some video and I'm trying to burn onto dvd, but it's not acting right. After I click on "Make Movie" and then "Burn to DVD", it takes about 2 hours to render for a 1-hour capture. When it's finished, it's in MPEG format, and when I import into Architech, it only shows the black title box on the Architech timeline and not the rest of the video, so if I put in a dvd and burned it, I"d only get the title box...what am I doing wrong??

http://www.vasst.com/?v=training/Vegasplugsnew.htm has a number of plugins there. Some transitions, some not. There are free bouncing ball and cubes there.
You'd like the Pixelan products for transitions too, if you're looking for more organic and less cheezy kinds.
Prodad has some good transitions as well.

I just finished a second fresh install of Vegas 6 into a newly formatted hard drive, and the MainConcept Encoder is doing the same strange thing again. After registering it, I get ONE chance to go into the Custom button. After that it is grayed out, and all I am left with is the basic template.

This time I did an experiment and changed the settings of the template the first time I used it. Strangely, it remembered the new settings, but has me locked out of the Custom button again.

I’ve know I’ve seen this issue before on the Internet, but now that I need to find it, Google searching is coming up with nothing.

Can anyone help with this issue?

Thanks!

[Edward Troxel]

Try this and see if it fixes your problem.

[Kevin A. Sturges]

Thanks Edward for the quick reply. I'll try it as soon as I get home tonight.

[Zdravko Jancevski]

The only reason that custom button not working is that you have not install Vegas DVD Architect, {tool for authoring DVD's). Try to instal Vegas Architect and you will be able to use custom button.That's works.
