A total waste of 15 minutes. This is how Sony promotes its products?

Actually, white balancing means that the color temperature of an image is correctly adjusted. White balancing an image usually works best when you get neutral grey correct. Neutral grey, or something close to it, is much easier to find in an image than either pure white or pure black. Yes, the temperature adjustment is not likely to be perfect, but it’s much closer to being accurate than what you get when there is no monitor calibration.
However, one of the points above was questioning how one can use scope displays in Vegas to determine when colors have been adjusted reasonably accurately. That was how the term white balance entered the discussion.
My system uses a NEC Multisync CRT as its monitor, and it calibrates very nicely. I can guarantee that it did not cost a few thousand dollars.

I must be missing something here. What do you think that a render produces? When I render, Vegas produces mpeg-2 and AC3 files. There is no separate encoding step. My understanding is that the network render does exactly the same thing.
BTW, I might be wrong, but I don’t think the OP meant that he used multiple machines. I think he just told Vegas to use the network process.

I shall leave it to more knowledgeable people to offer specific solutions, but, based on what I’ve read here in Cow, you are attempting to edit a very difficult source video format with a very underpowered computer. I am guessing that it also has only one hard drive which is modest in both speed and capacity.
For starters, you might want to search the forum for previous discussions regarding the Flip camcorder.

Those are the classic signs of a computer which is not fast enough to decode and display your source video. You probably need to describe your computer, and the video format you are trying to edit. Also, what version of Vegas?

OK, I’m confused. At some point, you have to know what your colors really look like. It’s better if they are at least correct when you render the video than that they be a total toss up.
However, vectorscope and waveform monitors sound intriguing. Could you point me to an explanation of how these are used to white balance a video?

I’m not sure I understand the problem. You bought the product with a two machine limit, but want four machines. Buy another copy, and you are all set. You are not buying the same product twice. You are buying the ability to install it on two additional machines. PSE is a very inexpensive product. You cannot expect to average the price down by installing on a bunch of computers.
Asking for tips on how to defeat the license does not fly on the Cow forums.

One program is named Photoshop. Check the automation option under Files.

It is rare to assign profiles. The only time I can think of where that would be done is if an image does not have a profile. In that case, you might assign the profile that you think is correct. Thereafter, the profile should ALWAYS be converted rather than assigned. If you are altering how images look by assigning a profile, you are misusing profiles. Profiles are designed and intended to insure that the image will always look the same when used on different display or printing devices.
For broadcast and web, you should probably convert to the Microsoft rgb profile.

Ahhhh, my ignorance and bad assumption. Yup, it’s covered big time by copyright.
