[heinz melus] “Gary’s import into DVDA shows 1 video track and 2 audio tracks in AC3. How can I get from Vegas 2 AC3 files. My video rendered in MPEG2 is 7 GB. A rendered mix of both AC3 tracks is 322 MB. With the mix I can’t assign the 2 buttons. How can I get 2 AC3 tracks?”

Render the audio twice to two different files. Then add the second file in DVD Architect as your alternate audio.

[heinz melus] “The only idea I have is manually mute one audio track and render the other. Then delete the video and first audio track and render the second audio alone. The second file must then be a different name. Will this work in DVDA? “

Yes. You should solo one audio track and render to Dolby Digital AC-3. If this is the main audio, give it the same name as the video stream. Then solo the other audio track and render to AC-3 and give that a different name. DVD Architect will import the first audio track automatically when it imports the video stream. You’ll need to create an alternate audio track in DVD Architect to import the second one.

[heinz melus] “I can’t add any additional track in the DVDA timeline. I believe it is from the fact, it shows 14,7 GB.”

It sounds like you have added the video to your project twice. You should have three files: (1) a video stream (no audio) (2) your primary audio stream (no video) (3) your secondary audio stream (no video). Make sure that you are rendering independent video and audio streams.

Hi John

Some time ago you recommended Neat Video for Video noise reduction.
I just bought the Home Edition.
All demos from Neat Video are in After Effects. I have Vegas Pro 11.

The sequence I wanted to do first was a footage shot in a garage 1990.
It has a lot of noise in it. There is no big field to get Auto Profile to fit for reduction. I have to use many smaller fields to Fine tune. I need to collect the fields in several frames.
When I add the Neat Video Plug-In to a Clip in the timeline, press Configure button, I get the Neat Video Home Plugin Window. I select some fields , fine tune them and them I need another frame to continue the Profile.

As the Neat Video FX is open, I can’t move the cursor in the timeline. I need it to go to darker or lighter field in other frames.

What did I miss in the process to slide the cursor in the timeline??

You only get to use one sample frame so you need to pick a frame that best represents the noise. There is no way that I know of to pick a second frame. To my knowledge, this is how it’s always worked in Vegas Pro.

Thanks John, In AE the demo shows that in advanced Mode he uses several samples (light, mid and dark colors) from several frames to get the best out for the noise profile. This is in case the Auto Profile can’t find a suitable size sample in one frame.

Hi John

Windows 10 is soon arriving.
I run Vegas 11 on W7 SP1. Additionally I have SoundSoap 2.4 and Neat Video Home Edition.
MS says, W10 runs my current soft and hardware. For the HW I’m more or less ok. I don’t want to try, if my video and sound applications run on W10.
I couldn’t find anything for Vegas 11, Neat and SS concerning W10 on their responding sites.
Upgrade all Applications is quite expensive just to run a new OS. I’m an amateur doing fine with home made footage, this question is important for me.

Any reply is appreciated
Best regards

Heinz

If you are asking if Vegas Pro 11.0 runs on Windows 10, I don’t know. Obviously, it will never be “officially” supported. I spend 99% of my time on a Mac so I have no plans to upgrade to Windows 10. Windows 7 is working just fine for me for running Vegas Pro 13.0 via Bootcamp.
