If your camcorder is a DV type, Set your preferences to NTSC DV Widescreen. Danny

Right click on the wav and under switches slelct normalize. Then set the normalize limit to -8. Play the track and the master meter will now show the peak level was -8. Danny

If your going to watch the videos on an LCD tv, Then make the videos progressive scan instead of interlaced. When selecting the DV NTSC render preset, click custom and select progressive scan on the video tab and move the quality slider to best. This will make a difference. Danny

Do you have an audio interface. If so, use a good mic and record directlt into vegas. Danny

What camera are you using? If it’s a DV with firewire, try windows movie maker to capture the video. All capture programs capture both audio and video as far as I know but you can just turn down that audio track and add your own audio. Danny

I asume your working with standard definition DV video. They’re avi files. Rendering to DVD means your compressing to MPEG-2 files. They will not look quite as good as the DV avi files. If the people that you want to see the videos have a computer, try rendering to a hi quality WMV file. They look great and almost any computer can play them. Danny

Yes, green is usualy headphones which can be too loud to record from as that output can drive the speakers in your headphones. Idealy you want a line out and a line in. The mic and headphones jacks your card probably has can possibly work but make sure you start with the record levels and master out on your windows mixer down to prevent squealing feedback. Your connecting an output to an input here. The direct monitoring button is in Vegas, right of the solo and mute buttons,, it has some Greater than signs in it. It allows whats coming in to pass thru to the outputs causing the feedback. A virtual audio cable program would be much better. Here’s a link to checkout. There’s a trial version to try too. The full version is 30$ I think for one machine.

The good thing with the Cineform codec is thats it very lossless and will allow for multiple renders, better chromakeying and you don’t need to replace them before rendering. Just render with them. Danny

You can import all your AVCHD files and put them in the desired order in the time line, Then render as Cineform AVI. This will make one intermediate file that is very efficient in Vegas. Danny
