Gary, sounds like you’ve got your work cut out for you as you didn’t include the other six audio’s with the 6 cameras. Once all seven cameras are on their own timeline, it would have been really easy to sync up the audio’s with their waveforms. Then, just mute those 6 audio files. Now, it seems you’ll have to eye-ball the six with the master…

I’ve been a veteran Vegas Pro user since version 3. I was the first to use live video chat rooms for, at the time, Sony Vegas Pro live questions and answers as well as live/realtime tutorials. User asks a question on “how to” and a live image of Vegas Pro is on their screens to see how it’s done. As time has gone by, there had been a lot, I…

David, sorry to hear of your problem.

Possible issues might be your computer became corrupted…or a virus.

First possible fix would be to install Ccleaner, a free software that will do a good job of cleaning up old files.…

Johnny, you’re right, there is no tracking for what you want. You can either step up and purchased a third party motion tracking software, such as Mocha or use what Vegas Pro 17 has and that’s opening up your “Event/Pan Crop” at the upper right side of the intended clip you want to use for your small TV clip. At the lower left section is the…

Pierre, open “Project Properties”…near the bottom (by default, it’s checked) is a checked box that says: “Adjust source media to better match project or render setting.” UNcheck it, click “Apply” then “OK.”

What I meant by “text” is, in your case, the rolling credits you’re using. Just above the timeline, click the tab “Media Generator” tab to create the text style you want to use in your project. Drag the text style you want and from there you’ll see the “effects” tab where you can adjust the feather.

Julie, on the top menu check in “options,” “preferences” there is a tab called “deprecated features,” enable legacy text and any other feature you might also use. Relaunch Vegas Pro and you’ll see all the needed features in the “text” options, such as “feather.”

Robert, as an after-thought, I am guessing this is your first venture in this type of project. With that in mind, here’s some info to help….your project (video) should be on the first track. On the second track will be a solid color background which you can find on the “generated media” tab. Choose any color because you’ll use the eyedropper…

Robert, hopefully, your camera is on a tripod, which makes this change much easier.

Here’s what you want (below). The tutorial is here….

Aivis is correct, it IS the HDR setting on your iPhone which is causing the washed-out effect. Just re-record without the HDR and you’ll get great results in Vegas Pro.

How to Transfer Digital 8 Tapes to a Computer (With Pictures)

Jeff, it’s not all bad. I still have my old PC beast which puts out a decent render. But, being I couldn’t get a new GPU as a reasonable cost, I decided to go with a new Mac. I went with a Mac Studio with the M1 Max, 32 core GPU and 64GB RAM. It’s a screamer. I did download Final Cut Pro X. It’s in “trial mode.” I’m not to worried as I have…

After being patient and waiting to acquire an RTX 3080 for a new PC built, I gave up and went with a new Mac. Specifically the new Mac Studio.

My intent with this post is to give you my thoughts as to how easy Vegas Pro is compared to Final Cut Pro. For instance, just to add a fade, in Vegas Pro, it’s a matter of just sliding a clip over the…

Seth, two simple ways. 1) Download the links you provided and put them on your timeline, removing only the video portion, leaving the sound track. 2) Use Audacity to record the links you provided and record “what you hear.” Go to the Audacity website to the tutorial on how easy this scenario is to accomplish.
