What version of Vegas are you running?

I typically render as an MP4. However, a Cineform AVI will also work well…it’s just a lot bigger than an MP4.
Somewhere on their site, they have an FAQ that describes the preferred formats for uploading and some are specific to Vegas.
It may take some trial and error, so use a small file for experimentation.

After I render a file in Vegas, I use Riva to convert to flv. It takes some trial and error to understand how it behaves.

You can also try using a compressor. The “Track Compressor” can be used to compress the audio sound to have a more even level and to also make it “sound” louder without it actually increasing the peak level.

I believe that it will work with almost any processor. I don’t remember the processor that I used before, but it was definitely sub-standard…but it did work. But working in the NLE with the avi files were much better than the avchd on that processor.
Today I have a core 2 duo which essentially looks like 4 processors (but really isn’t). If you can swing a better processor, you’ll most likely be much happier.
As mentioned, just download the trial version and give it a shot. It’s really simple to use.

The “Track Compressor” can be used as a limiter. Start with one of the presets.

I’ve used it without that processor, but I would recommend it.
Essentially, I use neoscene to convert all the avchd files in a particular folder to avi. Then I just start using those avi files in my NLE.
The immediate value in this is that your NLE will not need to utilize as much processor with the avi files. However, the files will be larger than the avchd files. Also, it will do all the 3:2 pulldown when going from a 60p avchde to 24p avi.
There are other benefits, but those are the biggest benefits for me.

There are three ways to do this. The first is to adjust the level on that clip. If you put your cursor over the top portion of the audio clip on the timeline, the cursor should change to an up/down arrow. Simply drag that down a bit. Essentially this adjusts the level of that sound clip.
Another control is to place a limiter (VST) in your audio track to limit the levels coming from any sound clip on that track. But I’ve always found that putting sound effects in a seperate audio track to be much more managable.
The third way is to use a volume envelope. This lets put points on the timeline to adjust levels at specific points.

Oh COOL. I’ve used that for text events, but never noticed that for FX. Now I have a new toy to play with. Thanks Edward.

I believe there are at least two ways to do this:
1) Copy the scene and paste it directly above the original. Now, put your black/white effect on the pasted scene (the higher track). Once that is done, you should be able to fade the end of the black/white scene which will essetially allow the color scene to gradually show thru.
2) I know some sequencers have automation. I’ve never looked for it in Vegas, but if it supports automation, then you should be able to control all aspects of an effect in relation to the timeline. Search for “automation”.
