Those settings make sense. Thank you.
Caption Assistant looks like a very handy, well thought out, plug-in.
BTW, nice looking show, Roger.

Roger, are you using the Sony MFX HD422-60i-50Mbps render? I will have a look at John Rofrano’s Caption Assistant. Thank you.

Using my same project settings and rendering out a Sony MXF file, I see that the time code is retained in the newly created rendered MXF file. Yet, using the same settings, but rendering out to a DNxHD file, the newly created MOV file appears to begin at 00:00:00;00 again.
Does anyone know if the revised time code is really transferred into the newly created DNxHD file, but Vegas is just unable to read it? Or, will Vegas simply not render out a time code through DNxHD?
I imagine that Quicktime Pro would tell me, but I would rather not purchase it.

I have since read on this forum of Vegas (at least, pre 11) having an inability to read time code from Quicktime files. Is it probable that my Vegas created DNxHD file does contain my revised time code, but I am simply not able to see it with Vegas?
I have also been unable to read it with my SVP-12.

Found it! In the Mixing Console for the Master audio, it was in the “Fader.” Somehow this got set to -0.1 db. It may be that I copied this same project template for the sequel projects, thus carrying over the same Fader setting. I have never purposely gone to that setting, so I did not think to look in there. But, I must have once gone in there accidentally.
I will put this down as pilot error (on my ever-growing pilot error list). Thank you.

Yes, 48,000 and 16 bit rate WAV file. When I drop the project into a new Vegas, the file again meters correctly at -20 db and the Master meters it correctly at -20 db. So, all is well when I plop it all in a new Vegas. Which seems to suggest that the problem lies not in the individual files, but in the overall project settings. Yet, I don’t have any overall track settings, other than my Motion Track settings.
And I don’t start out with this problem. It occurs somewhere as I am building a project and it shows itself in the meter of the Master as -20.1 db (the actual tone track meters -20 db). Unfortunately, the anomaly carries over into the rendered file.
I must be doing something to make this occur, but don’t have a clue what it is.
-
So, do you suppose that a tone of -20.1 db would be acceptable for a broadcast leader of colorbars/tone -20 db? I have been driving myself batty trying to get rid of this extra -0.1 db in some of my finished projects.
If I copy my entire project into a new SVP window, then the -0.1 db audio anomaly goes away. The down side of the workaround is that I have to reset all of my Track Motions, as they do not copy over.

It turns out that I can submit DNxHD, so this is a good thing. Maybe Apple is not going to take over the world, after all. Thanks for the info and help.

Works beautifully! I have never done this with the audio.
John, you are a gentleman, a friend and a scholar!

Good to know. Thank you.
