    Just upgraded Vegas 9 to Platinum … and it comes with SoundForge.

    Not found too much in way of how to use it … Can I ask how you would use SoundForge for basic video workflow.

    Would I complete standard sound & video edit in VMS, then render to create separate sound & video files.
    At that point load sound file into SoundForge and do my clean up.

    My concern is keeping audio timeline & video timeline in sync ? ……

    Does anybody have some basic tips ? maybe I’m approaching this wrong.

    I don’t know if Vegas Movie Studio allows you to right-click and select Open In Sound Forge on an audio clip but that’s how I use it in Vegas Pro. If not, you could open the video file in Sound Forge to process the audio and it will keep the video in sync when you write it back out.

    How would I do that … when I click ‘opne’ and pint it at the DV avi file, it states file type not supported ?

    Hmmm… I guess if you are using the Movie Studio version of Vegas that you also have the Audio Studio version of Sound Forge. Perhaps Audio Studio doesn’t support opening AVI files. The Pro version does just fine. I guess I’m not the best person to answer since I don’t use the Studio version of the products. Maybe someone who does here can answer. (sorry)

    Rick,

    I just upgraded my Sony software yesterday, from Vegas Movie Studio v7 Platinum to the Sony Imagination Studio (SIS2000), which includes Vegas Movie Studio v9 Platinum, and SoundForge Audio Studio 9.

    After installing the suite, and applying all the recommended updates from Sony’s site, and rebooting, I started Vegas Video, loaded my current project, and after Vegas built it’s audio proxy, I tried right-clicking the audio track to edit it in SoundForge. What I realized was that I had to go into Vegas Video’s OPTIONS menu, select PREFERENCES, and on the AUDIO tab, set the PREFFERRED AUDIO EDITOR box to point to the SoundForge Executable file:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Sound Forge Audio Studio 9.0\AudioStudio90.exe

    Your path may be different, but the filename should be the same.

    Now I’m a happy camper.

    I hope this helps…

    – Steve

    P.S. I also figured out I have to wait for Vegas to finish building its audio proxy before any audio functions will work.
