The case of the disapearing footage
Hi Folks:
I have created 3 – 45 min DVD’s using Sony Vegas Movie Maker. The first 3 have gone without a hitch even though they are large files. The last one unfortunately burns (I use a sony software called Click to DVD) but I lose 5 minutes or more of the last footage including scrolling credits and outakes.
I use Sony DVD-R DVD’s which have worked great for the other 3 DVD’s. Each DVD on the Sony storyboard shows that they are abouy 40-45 min long. This one is no exception. The only thing that is different from the other 3 dvd’s is that it has scrolling credits added.
When I went to select: make movie in vegas and render the film I was prompted with the following message: The estimated size of the 9.05 GB may not fit in the destination folder. Do you wish to continue? I selected yes of course and it rendered fine.
Thinking this was a hard drive space issue I freed up space on my harddrive. I also put DVD # 4 in an entirely different folder all by itself thinking perhaps this was the problem.
I did gain a bit more footage this way but still am missing a considerable chunk at the end of my film.
Man am I puzzled. This project has taken me all winter long and I am really looking forward to its completion. Can anyone help… please… whimpers unprofessionally…. grin..
Thanks!
Don

My first guess would be that you have the “out point” of that last clip set to before then end of the clip. Check and make sure your out point is in the right place.

Hi Ed:
I am not doing anything different than last time. This is the 4th of 4 DVD’s I have made. I first highlight the first frame and then drag the mouse accross the entire movie including where the movie ends and there is closing music. Then select the command Make Movie. Still baffled…. Its rought to want to finish a whole winter’s work of projects and the last few minutes not want to work…
yes i will have some cheese with that whine… grin
Sure open to suggestions…
