Help with approx a second’s worth of video yuck
Hi,
I have Vegas 6 and Excalibur 4. I have a project with 3 video camera’s inputs, prime, secondary and tertiary…1,2,3. I captured them using Vegas 6. The prime, or 1st camera had an area where some of the picture dropped out. I recaptured the DVD again into Vegas 6 … after cleaning the disc and had no frames dropped. The second capture had picture drop out in another section of the video that was different than the first (same camera same dvd same video piece). Don’t know the best way to repair this? Am looking for advice. After repair I was going to work with the 3 camera’s inputs in Excalibur to do the combining.
Thanks for your help,
Margie

How about if you just replace the area where the video dropped out in the first capture with the exact same segment of good video from the second capture? That should work fine.
Put capture 1 on track 1. Put capture 2 on track 2. Make sure NOTHING is selected (CTRL-SHIFT-A can do this) and make a selection area around the “bad” section on track on. Now press “S” to split on both sides of the “bad” section. Delete the section on track 1 and move the “good” video from track 2 to track 1. Now you can delete track 2.

Maybe he should fix his dropped frame problem. He’s capturing 3-cameras. Where did the DVD’s come from?

Thanks Ed,
I’ll try this. I repaired some video of my grandaughter awhile back with still patches on the track above, but that was a short piece. Each of these three are over an hour of someone’s WEDDING (yikes)that my cousin did for a friend, so hopefully is not something that will be redone. I am worried about messing up audio and video sync within the video. Then I’ve been playing my Excalibur training DVD to figure out how best to do that with titling. Am thinking to do my titling intro first, then add the three videos…but then do I add all the tracks that I make to the multi cam? ie if I have 4 tracks for titling and it’s audio plus the three to edit do I have all of them included in the multi cam selection so choose 9?! Arrrrgh.
Thanks for your help,

Hi Steve,
How would he fix his dropped frame problem? The DVDs are Fujifilm DVD-R 8X that were used to record ..I think mini DV tapes from three different cameras of a wedding. I don’t know the process used by my cousin to do the transfer. Just know what I do which is play them on my camera and capture into Vegas. For these I played them on a DVD player, ran them thru my camera to capture in Vegas. It did help to clean the DVDs … BUT not totally.
Thanks for your help,

Hi again Ed,
Forgot, both are the same, just different captures. Do I sync them first with Excalibur? Because even though I put both at the start of the timeline, they are not at the same point in time. My second capture was a more experienced one in that I started the capture before starting the player.
Thanks,
Margie

I would treat the multi-cam section as a separate project. Follow the instructions to set up the separate cameras on separate tracks. The Sync process will resize all events on the tracks but you’ll have to manually move some events if you have more than one on a track to get them back in sync (unless you just manually sync).
After the multi-cam section is done, I usually just render that out to a separate DV-AVI for use in the final “Project”. However, you could also use the new nested-veg feature in Vegas 6.

You would be better off capturing from the original MiniDV tapes than having them converted to DVD and trying to use that. The DVD’s are much more highly compressed and will be lower quality than the original MiniDV tapes.

Thanks, I didn’t know that … but that wasn’t an option that I had! At least I know now so maybe in the future that can change.
