Thanks so much for the reply j Razz. No pictures in the video. I guess I can render to Cineform, but it’s 30 plus clips that total over 1 hr of video (we do weddings). I’ll look into Ultimate S or Excaliber. Preference of the two???
So when is the Scarlett coming out again 2009, 2010, 2011…

Vegas shouldn’t have any problem outputting to a hi res Quicktime file, even uncompressed. If size isn’t an issue you’ll have 0 problems.

I agree that on the fly zooms are almost impossible. Even with the camera mounted on a tripod it’s very difficult to properly step the zoom to produce a desired result. Because of the poorly designed rocker my crew only uses the constant zoom speed with adjustment made as previously mentioned with the speed dial. The best zooms we can produce are using the ZR-2000 to step through the speeds while in constant. The rocker is marginally better on the ZR in variable, but still short of expectations. Canons lenses “priceless”. Canon zoom controls “$.50”, with change.

I’m pointing out that 40% of their offerings (actually much higher if I broke it down track by track) is electronica. One theme is Pass the Ring which I use and own. Thats 20% of their total offerings. I would guess that Vegas due to price and simplicity is used by a substantial percentage of videographers. They could use more Pass the Rings and fewer Bold New Worlds.

When a company as large as Sony, or any company that is trying to genuinely compete in the market, releases a product they are to support it to their greatest ability. I know it’s a free market and heck GM could sell a car and then refuse to sell repair parts. What companies now have is a responsibility to the customer. Sony’s Cinescore has been released since April 2006 and two out of the five packs are electronica. While I can’t tell Sony their market, lets look at some possible buyers; Wedding videography, indie and micro filmmakers, other event videography, documentaries, and a host of others. I say that Sony is catering to what is easy for them to produce and sell and not what will work and benefit the consumer. I think I’ll go with the class leader and order SonicFire…

Just to add if needed it’s Cinescore. I own Cinescore and have found it to be a big dissappointment. A few hours ago I was looking into Sonicfire 4.5 and listening to some of their “cuts”. I really wish i had went with Sonicfire of Cinescore for the wider selection of music offered by Smartsound (maker of Sonicfire). Cinescore has it’s base theme pack and I also have Incredible Vistas, Pass the Ring, and Ideal Vacation. With those four packs I shouldn’t need to rely on Digital Juice Stack Traxx for 75% of my music needs, but I do. The integration into Vegas 7 is great. The reults are lacking.

I’m eaxctly at that point right now with a wedding shot my company just did. Oddly enough it was the bride and grooms hand shot with rings and they were shaking and wobbling, not the camera. I’m assuming you’ll need to use Vegas’ Track Motion on the video track header to scale the video so that it cuts off where the clip would exit the frame. I’ll keep you posted and you do the same. Boris FX and Grafitti are great, but darn the learning curve. Also I’m working FX8 whats your version?

I had XP as well. I didn’t have any noticeable problems with 7.0d. The update, e, on the other hand had me wondering if I could even finish a job. Anyone know what the red screen technicallly means in Vegas?
