Activity Forums VEGAS Pro saving the vegas project as .flv

  • saving the vegas project as .flv

    I created a vegas project and then did ‘render as’ (.mov) and what I got was only a .mov file that had the video portion of my project. The first part of my project, I had different video tracks (insert video track) and added text files and still photos, to introduce the video, then inserted some video I had taken of a press conference with my camera. Obviously I did something wrong. Was I supposed to have everything on one track, or insert a blank video before the video that was further down the track in this project… Can someone please explain. thanks 🙂

    I don’t understand the connection of your thread Title to the content of what you say? In any event, no you can’t save the Vegas Project file as a FLV. Do you mean Render as FLV, that’s a FLASH file, yes?

    OK, regarding your render file output, I need to see a screen grab of your Timeline, otherwise I’d be just guessing. Unless others can understand your description above?

    Cheers

    Vegas cannot export a .flv file.
    Its kinda hard also understanding your issue, double check that
    you dont have any of the tracks muted on the timeline.

    You are probably better off rendering an MP4 file using Sony AVC or Mainconcept AVC.

    The free Quicktime does not support AVC or mpeg-2 encoding. The other codecs are poor. Quicktime Pro probably has AVC but in general it is probably best to avoid Quicktime if you can. Less potential problems. One less cook in the kitchen.

    If your video is HD 720 or 1080, then the “Internet” templates in Sony and Mainconcept AVC are a good start and adjust the options as necessary.
