  rendering wants to make clips

  Posted by Brooks Kohler on March 2, 2008 at 6:16 pm

  I’m editing a documentary. For ease, I’ve made one Vegas platform for titles and credits, another for the movie edit, and the last for end credits. (Note: I’m having to sight sync audio from each DV track with audio from my in-field recorder. Thus, the reason for the three different platforms.)

  In the end, I plan to render each platform separately, then add them to a platform for the combined film.

  On a test run, however I’ve ran into a snag. When I add the rendered footage to the “combined film” platform it wants to cut the footage in half, making it impossible to render to dvd.

  Any thing I need to turn off?

  Thanks for the help. I’m new at this.

  is the harddrive you are rendering to formatted as FAT32 or NTSF? FAT32 will automatically give you a 2 gig limit and then start a new clip-If it is formatted as that reformat the drive and you should be back to business.

  Don, I’m using a Mybook, and it is FAT32 as far as I can tell. I noticed that is clocking out at 3.99GB.

  I have no idea how to reformat.

  Any advice?

  Fat32 has a4gb filesize limit.

  Backup your hard drive before converting it (in case something goes wrong).

  Thanks George. Advice well taken. I’m thinking at this point I can still edit the film, just can’t render it yet. I’ve dedicated my “My Book” to the documentary I’m working on, so it’s holding a lot of files. One thing I’ve done right is record all my FX settings on paper. That’s one trick I learned from hanging around old school studio engineers when I worked on Music Row.

  I understand that Vegas only organizes the files you load. With that said, in your opinion or anyone’s opinion, would it be okay to keep editing the the documentary in my current drive, purchase another My Book, have the new drive reformatted in the time being and the files on the drive I’m currently working on transferred over to new reformatted drive? Or, do you think that would cause a compatibility problem with files not being recognized?

  Big question I know. Thanks for your time.
