Are you using the same input for track 3 as you did on tracks 1 and 2? Is it a stereo card? Danny Hays

you can select all the clips in explorer and drag them to the timelline, then select all the clips in the timeline and drag the cross disolve transition onto them. I believe this is what your looking to do. Hope this helps, Danny Hays

If the lighting is good enough you can make it work. Yes the magenta backlight is to color, or cancel out I should say any green spill that may be getting on the back, soloette of the speaker. I’ve had problems with black shirts and artifacts too. White is better but will show green spill well. If you backlight the speaker well enough white will work. If you have some small samples of the video you can send me I can experiment and give you the best settings for the keyer I can find. HD video should allow for alot better keying than DV. 4.1.1. is a term for the color sampleing of DV. Do a google serch on it for details if you want. Your HD video is probably 4.2.0. You can convert the video in Vegas to Cineform avi which is 4.2.2 and will key even better.. Again some small samples will help. Danny Hays danhays2004@yahoo.com

Bob, I have ATI cards in my laptop and work desktop and both work great. The look you don’t like maybe the interlacing. Try setting your project properties to, Filed order – None Progressive scan, and Deinterlace method to blend fields and see what you think. Dany Hays

Ideally, You would put the actor in front of a green screen and the actor should not have any green on him. Also the Vegas chromakey pluggin doesn’t have spill supression so you should get as much space between the actor and the green screen as to not get any green spill on the actor. If you don’t have access to a better keyer like Keylight or Ultra, you can backlight the actor with a magenta light. That’s the oposite color of green and can help reduce the visable green spill from the backgound. Also if your shooting DV, you’ll get better results in Vegas if you put a chroma blur pluggin before the chromakey pluggin in the chain, and set the blur to medium. This helps reduce the jaggies typiclly found when keying DV and its 4.1.1. color space. Hope this helps, Danny Hays

Hi Allen, Are you running Vegas on Bootcamp? If so how does it compare to running it on Windows? Danny

The yellow wall behing him creates a problem. Normally the background is green or blue as there is neither of these colors in human skin. You can key out the yellow but that may cause any yellow in his/her skin to be transparent. Try it and see, add chromakey filter, eyedrop the color of the wall and move the sliders and see if you can do it. Danny Hays

I don’d think Vegas does that. It will however stop at the time you hit the space bar and continue from that point upon hitting it again. That option is in the prefs. Danny Hays

I use the extra VGA output on my laptop. Any video that supports 1360 x 768 or 1920 x 1080 will work. Danny Hays

There’s another way. Ever heard of virtual audio cable? You can connect windows media player output to vegas input, play with media player while recording with Vegas. It’s still digital and worth a shot. Here’s a link to a free virtual audio cable. Once installed, it shows up as an audio device. Danny Hays
