Incredible! I wasn’t counting on a Vegas 14 coming at all.

Vegas’ chroma keyer tool is pretty primitive and weak (I know from experience). I’d use one of the plugins available for more powerful keying tools.

Well, if I become independently wealthy, I’ll try to start my own video editing software that is as powerful and easy to use as Vegas but with even more features and better supported. I’m sure if someone did that they could easily get out ahead of Adobe, Apple, Avid, and Sony.

[George Dean] “I tried the program ‘Adapter’ on a Prores 422HQ, DNxHD 220x, and Nikon h.264/avc file. The program errored on all three and would not convert!
Best Regards……George”
What did you try to convert them to? I successfully converted my files to mp4 but they wouldn’t open in Vegas. However, mpeg worked fine (it’s obviously not a perfect program, but it finally did the job for me after some experimenting).

[Angelo Mike] “I may be experiencing this now. A client hired a drone videographer to shoot video and I downloaded the mov files, but none of them will play. For some reason I can’t get Quicktime to work after reinstalling it (says I need Apple Application Support, which I can’t seem to download for 64 bit Windows 7, anyways), but it also won’t play in VLC. It’s just a green screen. I cannot import the video into Sony Vegas, either.
Any ideas? Could I convert it to mp4 or something?”
Found a solution. I downloaded a program simply called Adapter, which lets me turn mov files into mp4, and now they play fine.

[John Rofrano] “What others who have tried this have found is that Vegas Pro actually needs the QuickTime Player so if you delete it, Vegas won’t be able to open MOV files with ProRes or DNxHD. I think it still might work with AVC/H.264 MOV files but that’s the only one it can open without the player.
So don’t delete it if you need to work with these files in Vegas Pro.”
At least in my experience, that hasn’t been the case. I have mov files from my Canon t3i and am able to edit them even after I uninstalled Quicktime player. If I have any problems with the future, though, I’ll post about it here. But for now it hasn’t been an issue, and I just uninstalled Quicktime yesterday.

[James Hauge] “If you want my opinion (I know, you didn’t ask, but hey, why not), and feel free to ignore me if you want, I would think that for what you’re looking to do it means much more about who you know than how you market on a web site… I am not putting down having and using a web site (Hell, I’ve made my fair share of sites and charge to make em for others) and I think you should have a site, but for this particular area, it’s much more about who you know…
I believe this because those ‘clients’ who would be looking to hire someone like that, will be asking people in the ‘industry’ for recommendations…
That’s just my thoughts.. I’m not a marketing expert, but I have taken many sales and marketing classes that that’s the impression I get from the situation you describe.
Still, I’d suggest making (or having made) a web site… I’ll even help you do it if you want to discus it with me…”
I don’t think that’s bad advice at all. It’s actually very important, and something I need to work on. I’ve still got a lot of figuring out to do as far as what my options are and my budget.

[Nancy Frank] “Before you post the video edit it and put a disclaimer at the beginning stating that you do not own the musical content and that no copy right infringement is intended.”
This is of no help at all and doesn’t wave any kind of liability from the person producing or uploading a video with copyrighted content.
Your job is to shield yourself from such liability and speak openly to your clients that you may not post copyrighted music that you don’t have permission for on YouTube. The video can get deleted by YouTube and, though less likely, can get sued for uploading the video. You can check YouTube’s creator services, they list pop songs that they and the copyright holders allow to play on videos, and they indicate whether you can monetize the videos or not. However, those terms can change in the future, so in six months or a year if a music publisher decides to change their agreement with YouTube, you’ll be in a position where you have to take the song off the video.

I still get this problem rarely, though now just clicking around on the timeline and refocusing on different parts of the screen fixes it.
