Changing the capture data rate
Hi all, still new to Vegas but i’m loving it more and more 🙂
Just one thing, is there a way of changing the data rate for capturing?
At the moment I’m capturing 720x576Pal from DV cam, would like to get the highest quality possible. -

If you’re capturing with firewire, you’ve already got the highest quality possible.

thankx for the quick response 🙂 So 3.4 Mgs/sec is the highest that can be captured? Somehow I thought it would be higher.
-
No, that’s about it.
Sounds like you’re coming from the Avid/Discreet world where you can dial in your caputre rate. That’s not possible with firewire, you are in fact getting it as good as it gets.

Thank you 🙂 and yes you’re right, been working with Digisuite LE for a long long time.

I use LE also and did some side by side tests. I compared 10 megs per second and the DV 3.4 and could not see any difference. Except that the reds are really jaggie. I hate this about DV.

Yes I know what you mean. But still I think it’s time to change for me, I find the ability of Vegas to work with any kind of footage absolutely fantastic.
One thing though, Titling, I just don’t like Graffiti and as for the built in option it’s very very basic. I can only wish I had my TitleMotion working with this. What do you use? -
I don’t use LE much anymore at all. I use Vegas(because of 24pa). I miss the realtime effects though. Vegas renders a little slow but is rapidly improving and network rendering rocks. I’m network rendering over a wireless and it works! I don’t like the titler either, and really miss Title Motion. I have not found a good one yet. I have heard Tim talk about Heroglypf 2(you can download a demo). I tried it and I don’t love it yet?? We need to pressure Title Motion. If they can support Premier Pro, then they should support Vegas. They are missing the boat!! If they had it, I would buy now!! It is the only thing that is not good about Vegas except for no Hardware support. Were you using Premier or Razor?
-
I was and occasionally still using Premiere 6.5 as P Pro is not compatible.
It was a good setup for it’s time he he it’s more like a dinosaur now.
At some time I worked with Edit too but discreet killed that one.
From all the edit progies I worked with, I find Vegas has most features I’m looking for except the Plug ins.
Things like TM and HFX are a bit of a disappointment. More than anything else though it’s TM that I miss. Shame!
Last night I downloaded Graffiti 4 trial but I found it a soup of a program to work with.
