Digital Juice Ready2Go Segments Crashing Vegas Pro 12

[Andrew Lenczycki]

What you say about Vegas using 32-bit QuickTime and the resources required makes sense. In one of your previos posts on this thread you said:

[John Rofrano] If you saw a black preview window while Vegas Pro was rendering those sections with the words “no recompression required” then YES. If you didn’t see this then NO. Vegas will tell you when it doesn’t require rendering. If you didn’t see this, then you might want to render to DV AVI instead of MPEG2 to keep the quality up. DV AVI has 5x more quality than DVD MPEG2.

I don’t believe I saw the “no recompression required”, but I’ll look for it next render. As far as the DV AVI, which template would that be to render for a DVD in Vegas Pro 12 (sorry, I’m at work and only have Vegas 10 installed on this machine, and don’t see a DV AVI option, only the “Windows for Video (*.avi)|= NTSC DVD Widescreen“).

Steve, The missing plug-in error dialog box has stopped since I installed Digital Juice’s “colormatteremover.exe” file (or something very close to that. This was done after talking with the DJ Tech Support person. There is an email notice that goes out when you purchase later versions of R2G volumes, that you must install this .exe file, and I simply forgot to do that on the new computer I built (I simply transferred my Digital Juice catalog from the old computer to the new one).
Which Digital Juice R2G segment did you use for your testing? While I haven’t had a problem with every segment I use, since I’m USUALLY using them for the sports recap and need 20-40 segments, this is when I have run into the problems, regardless of which segment from which template I use. Going from John R’s comments about the 13 QuickTime animations used by the particular segment I am currently having issues with, and the resources needed to deal with 13 QuickTime animations x 30 Segments in a project, I could see where 32-bit QuickTime and Vegas could be problematic. Also, the number of actual QuickTime animations vary by the particular R2G template used. I’m sure if I used a very simple template that only used 4 or 5 QuickTime animations, it would be able to deal with more segments in a project before the “wall” gets hit and problems start.

Also, just so that I am giving as much information as possible, I am only using the latest FREE version of QuickTime, not the QuickTime pro version. I don’t know if that would somehow make a difference or not.

Yes, NTSC DV Widescreen under Windows for Video (*.avi) is the DV template for widescreen video.

I was going to tell you about the plug-in, but you beat me to it.
To the best of my knowledge, the free version of QT is all you need.
