thanks for the responses

some other people (another forum) have warned about the downconvert issues too, advising me to shoot on SD. They are of the opinion that only a Snell & Wilcox converter will do a good enough job. Me, I use Vegas, which has always done a sterling job, far better than in-camera downconversion.

regarding sticks: prob will not be able to use them 🙁

you can always use the EDIT DETAILS tab, and change the dropdown to Markers, then search through them that way – was doing it this afternoon.

also, could dbl click the timecode of that marker, copy it, then double click the timecode on the timeline (bottom right) and past the timecode in, and press enter – will take you to your mystery marker

yep, the only reason I can see you using PPT for slides is if you want to use the PPT animations. You could use camtasia or similar prog to record the animation as you play it.

why not simply add text directly in vegas? there’s nothing that PPT really offers that exceeds the ability of vegas.

regarding protools vs vegas, here’s an extract from a DSE post on the subject:

>>>>>>>>>
Counting in my head, I can think of at least 31 Emmy Awards that have either been posted entirely in, or at least recorded with, Sony Vegas, and I believe there are more. My credits sheet alone is virtually *entirely* Vegas, even though I was one of the first artists in the world to record on ProTools (Windham Hill artists very tightly involved with the development of ProTools in the early days).

My opinion is this:

If you’re working in a network environment, you *need* to know ProTools. Not because it’s the best, it’s the worst, IMO. Nuendo, SONAR, Vegas, Logic…all much better tools, IMO. But…ProTools is a standard. Like most standards, it’s slow to reach the same level of functionality as the more nimble, smaller-group tools.
Look at the Army….slow as hell to adopt change and flexibility. Merceneries can kick butt over what the Army can (and will) do. They’re more nimble.

‘Nother small example…
Vegas was the first audio tool to do HD audio. Four years before ProTools could, and without specific hardware. You only needed hardware capable of 192/24bit, and there was a lot of hardware from Echo, MOTU, Apogee, etc long before ProTools could manage it. Turns out it didn’t matter much, but point is, others follow, but in so many cases, Vegas leads. Particularly in Audio. BTW, *many* of the functions you find standard in various audio apps spawned from Curtis Palmer and Monte Schmidt’s Sound Forge in the first days. They set the standard for DAW work. ”
<<<<<<<< and >>>>>>>>
Rod Stewart has only won one Grammy from an album recorded/produced/mastered in Vegas.
Dio’s new album didn’t win any awards for being mixed in Vegas.
“Last Samurai,” “SWAT,” “Hidalgo,” “Black Hawk Down,” and a few others failed to win Oscars, but it wasn’t because portions of those films were recorded/mixed in Vegas.
Portions of National Treasure “Book of Secrets” probably won’t win an Oscar even though they were recorded in Vegas.
I don’t think “Evan Almighty” or “Barnyard Animals” fared well with the Academy in spite of being posted in Vegas.
Vegas is being used as an audio tool in a lot of places where you’d not expect to find it.

not to my knowledge. He uses Vegas 4 for the audio, ie an old version.

think it might be PPro….

I use vegas myself, for both, so was interested in his workflow too.

[Adam Rose esq.]

he uses sony vegas for the audio

audio first, then video

[Adam Rose esq.]

I use camtasia v3 without any hitches

here’s AK mention of it: https://www.videocopilot.net/blog/?s=camtasia
