creating video for website…
Hello,
I am wondering how to create video that I can use on my website for demo purposes. Is there a way to render the files in Vegas so that they are compressed and ready to be uploaded into my webshell? I have some examples on my site using Quicktime, however I would like to have some videos set to play with Windows Media. I’m just not sure how to compress my videos to make them web friendly. Any info that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Just render as wmv and choose your compression depending on whether you think people will be viewing with broadband or dial up.

In this day and age, you’re probably going to want to use FLV (Flash Video). Vegas 6.0 doesn’t export to FLV like Premiere Pro or some others do, but I can’t imagein Vegas 7 won’t. Anyway, for now, try dumping your project out as an AVI (or whatever format your FLV encoder likes), and then recode it. Riva FLV Encoder is one of the free encoders I can think of (along with MediaCoder and another multi-encoder simply called “Super”)
Free Riva encoder is at https://www.rivavx.de/index.php?encoder&L=3
Embedding FLV’s is pretty easy. They are also very quick to stream progressively, and I am almost positive you’ll get them to compress better than WMV or MOV at the same size and bitrate. I just did half a dozen demo reels in FLV, and they stream beautifully, and start up fast. Embedding code can be found all over the net. Google for “embed flv” and you’ll get more than enough sample code. Good luck.
