  • Record Audio and Video together n Sony Vegas Pro 11? Assitance

    Posted by Dave Danese on November 25, 2011 at 2:53 am

    I have recently purchased Sony Vegas Pro 11 for 2 reasons. 1st was to do a job for a client in converting video files, changing voice track on original video and compressing them together in different format. It took me 2 weeks but I finished 24 videos… 2nd I thought would be easier, I have another business that we are filming a our first webcast in 3 days from now and want to use software for recording video and audio at same time and then playing on my websites as webcast.

    I have ran into many issues and hope anyone can point me in right direction. I am a website designer and software engineer.. so I know computers .. but I am not going to lie, I am a beginner in this field. I apologize in advance if I ask simple questions. lol

    1. Should I be using Sony Vegas Pro 11 for what I am doing? Is there a better solution?
    2. Why can’t I seem to record video and audio in Vegas together? I have tried a camcorder and hdmi and couldn’t recognize.. I found out I should use fire wire, but camcorder didn’t have input. Now I have Microsoft Webcam HD life cam 5000 and seem to get no audio output and it conflicts with other devices. I am uninstalling several devices and thought I would take the time to ask.

    I am basically looking to get a webcast done and dont want to try and learn “timing” (if possible) since I heard it is pretty difficult.

    Software I am using
    Sony Vegas Pro 11
    DVD Architect Pro 5.2
    New Blue Tilter Pro
    Applian Director
    Reply Converter
    Audacity

    I am just confused on which to use, set as default.. should be using? Any help would be so appreciated

    Your options are to get a firewire camcorder that has a mic input or use the onboard camera mic, or get a firewire interface that’s compatible with Vegas, like a Canopus ADVC110.

    You can connect the composite out of a camera and the audio out of a small mixer and a decent mic to the two RCA audio inputs.
    There are higher end devices for this like the Black Magic Intensity Shuttle.

    The problem here is it is very specific on the motherboard chipset needed to use this device. I built an i7 and have the Shuttle. This device can capture sd and HD via HDMI, compponent, s video and composite.
    Hope this helps, Danny Hays

    Thanks.. I am trying now. I was able to figure out some of the issues and it looks like I have to capture video and audio in Webcam software now.I am thinking that’s not right. I want to to capture in vegas, edit and import images on the fly (during show).

    Thank you so much for help
