We did a test posted at vimeo
https://vimeo.com/10174263
We played out a SMPTE color bar from a 5d Mark II. It was ingested with a BM Intensity card using Virtualdub. There were 2 files, a special Huffyuv build for HDYC and the default BM MJPEG. As you scroll through the video it can be seen that the colorspace changes when Huffyuv records. This is a confirmation of the problem first noticed at

It may work if you specify HDYC as the input.

I sent an inquiry to Dale who has this working, about colorspace issues..
Here is the email..

I was following your thread on virtualdub.org.
I had a few questions as there were some issues.
1. The build is a fork of virtualdub, and is only in the virtualdub-hdyc that squid_80 put out. Is that correct ?
2. The version in the thread is the non Multithreaded huffy build. Is that right too ?
3. Also, there were issues with the HDYC colorspace outputted by Huffy. The gent here did tests on a vectorscope and found some interesting things..Are you sure this is not occurring in the HDYC build you are using ??

And the forum thread where this occurs..

I do not have access to a vectorscope and my concern would be, that we are having small issues with colorspace using virtualdub and huffy that do not show up until the generated files are carefully observed..

And if you press record – still ?

[Anmol Mishra]

Hi Shawn. Just wondering if the HD7 outputs uncompressed over HDMI if you do not record (without any overlays) ? Thanks@

Cool. This is getting somewhere. I used the track motion dialog. However, its actions are a bit different from what I was intending to use it for.

My composition is 2048 x 1536. I want to zoom out to 2168 x 1626 at one keyframe and then zoom in to 2048 x 1536 at the final keyframe.

So I changed the Position -> Width and Position -> Height inside the Track Motion dialogue at the relevant keyframes.

When I zoom out to 2168 x 1626 I don’t want Vegas to enlarge the track, I simply want the original dimensions, with a black border showing where the dimensions exceed the track.

However, I do not see any black border, and I think Vegas ends up enlarging the image when the dimensions exceed the dimensions of the image ?

On a related note, if I drop a video or photo track different from the resolution of the project, Vegas automatically resizes it.

Any idea about how to solve these possibly related issues with resizing ?

Cheers!

Hi Jizpa. Any idea of the solution ? I am facing a similar problem with auto resizing that I want to turn off in Vegas..

Ah! Here is a specific question. I have 2 tracks, 1 video at 1080p, and 1 still at 2048 x 1536. I click on compositing mode and then click on Make Compositing Child, so now, the still at Track 2 is a child of the video at Track 1.

I am essentially trying to apply the same Event Pan/Zoom to BOTH these tracks.

What I am trying to achieve is this. If I zoom out of the video, I want to see the still around the edges instead of a black bar or an enlargement of the 1080p video by Vegas.

Problem is that I cannot figure out how Vegas allows us to merge two tracks together so that the same Pan-Zoom effect is applied to both. I can still see 2 separate icons for Pan-Zoom, and if I apply the Pan-Zoom to either track, then it is only applied to that track, NOT to both.

[Anmol Mishra]

Problem is that I could not figure out how to link the two – 1080P and 3M still together such that both will have the same Pan Zoom effect applied to them
Is it something as simple as creating a parent-child for the video and still?

I am a newbie to Vegas, and still trying to figure out stuff with it..
Thanks!
