ghosting of 2nd video track
Hi all,
I have just finished a edit of a wedding where during the service/speeches we used 2 cameras. I placed cam 1 on track one, and cam2 footage on a track below. I have then split the footage from cam one, using desolves to the wide shots on cam 2. I have just noticed that when i view the footage you can see a slight ghost image of the cam 2 footage through the cam 1 footage (particually on dark parts of cam 1 footage). Opacity on cam 1 is at 100%.is there a way around this? will it not be seen after render?
Its a nightmare really, i dont want to have to re cut, removing the cam2 footage under the cam 1 footage or redo using multi cam editing. I thought that the top video track always took over any video tracks below it?
Regards

Did you accidently activate one of the composition modes?

Hi Theo,
Thanks for responding – no i dont think so !! i am pretty new to vegas, so it is a posibility. I have come up with a solution – if i highlight all of video track 1 and drag it over video track 2 the videos merge… so i have sort of solved it, but still dont understand why it happened?

You should not have to combine the tracks.
There are four things that could cause this:
- You already said that you checked that the event opacity was at 100%. Check this for all events.
- Theo pointed out that the track compositing mode should be set to Source Alpha.
- The third place to check is if a Composite Level Envelope has been added to the track. You would see a dark blue line across the track if this was enabled.
- The fourth and most likely cause is if you accidentally moved the Track Composite Level fader. This is labeled “Level” and is right under the track name on the track header. If this is set to less than 100% it will cause the whole track to have transparency.
One of these four things is probably the cause.

You’re welcome. I kinda suspected #4 was the problem. Glad I could help.
