What is excalibur 3?

Edward Troxel · September 14th, 2004, 06:19 PM

Click on the link under my name for more details. There you can find a link on the left to both "Newsletters" and "Excalibur" (as well as Tsunami and Neon). Click on the Excalibur link for purchasing information. Go to the newsletters to read the details about what Excalibur can do.

Short answer: It's a tremendous aid for multi-cam editing but includes many other tools as well.

How does it help multi cam editing?

Edward Troxel · September 15th, 2004, 07:21 AM

This will give you a brief overview of the Multi-cam tools. As I said in the previous message, you can also read about it in the newsletter.

Hugh DiMauro · September 15th, 2004, 01:05 PM

Isn't the pan/crop ruler at the very bottom of the pan/crop window? That little thin line where you mark in and out points with the cursor?

Edward Troxel · September 15th, 2004, 02:03 PM

You mean the timeline? If that's what you're referring to, then NO. Vegas 4 had a ruler across the top and down the left side.

John Hudson · September 15th, 2004, 02:19 PM

Once I have captured footage that has BLUE/GREEN Screen in it, how do I go about using VEGAS for inserting the Background Plate?

Help?

John Hudson · September 15th, 2004, 02:59 PM

I figured it out :P

I had the Blue Screen track on the wrong LAYER. I t was on botton when it should have been on TOP. (VEGAS looks down through the tracks.)

Suddenly, without warning this option is unavailble. The buttons are there but they are MUTED out. What happended? What I am saying is that these buttons are visible but muted and non-'clickable'

Gary Kleiner · September 15th, 2004, 04:50 PM

Turn off the external monitor.

John Hudson · September 15th, 2004, 09:10 PM

I don't have one. It happended as I was working. I use only one 17" Flatscreen (Can't afford EXT MON)

Any other solutions?

Did you try closing and re-opening Vegas and or rebooting your
system? Which version of Vegas are you running? Sounds like
a glitch somewhere.
