Hello Everyone:

Does anyone know if you can position closed caption in various places on the screen? My closed caption, in a few places, is blocking the text on the screen that’s accompanying the voiceover.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Debbie

Everyone:

I found where I can view the closed captions. I click Preview icon and select overlay. I haven’t done it yet, but I just found it through the help menu.

Best,

Debbie

Hi Everyone:

I tried to do a few lines in Vegas of Closed Caption, but I cannot see what I’ve typed to know how it looks and where the text is placed. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Many thanks,

Debbie

Thank you Bob:

I was able to render a decent file this time, and I reinstalled Avid. All is well.

All the best,

Debbie

Hi Bob:

Thank you so much. It worked. My discovery is that some other places have the same flickering. Can I just do the same on the whole project? Also, do you think it’s safe to reinstall the Avid since it was not a corrupt file that caused this?

Best,

Debbi

Hi Grazie:

Thank you.

My Project settings are:

Template: HD 1080 – 24p (. 1920×1080, 23,976 (fps)
Progressive
Pixel aspect 1,000
Frame rate 23,976 (IVTC)
Pixel Format 8 bit
Resolution quality – Best
Adjust source media to match is selected

Please tell me if this is correct for Codec. I was attempting to render DNxHD using AvidCodecLE setup. All worked fine until I had black frame issues and some flickering. When I reinstalled Vegas, I allowed for the newer version to download, because I have the disk. I still had the Avid installed and maybe I should have unstalled it before reinstalling Vegas. Ever since this installation, I have been having jumpy, robotic type motions that I first recognized in the render. But when I playback from the timeline, I see the same delays, jumpy and robotic motions. I reinstalled Vegas again without the updates, but this time with no Avid installed. I played another file of the film that I saved a few months ago and no jerks, jumps or delays, but when I go back to the one that was rendered with Avid, I get the freezes. I want to reinstall Avid so that I can position the film for distribution, but I’m afraid that it may be corrupting my files.

Hopefully my files are not corrupt and that there is another reason for how it’s playing back.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Debbie

Hi Grazie and Aaron:

Thank you so much. Grazie, I love the typo too. So appropriate for how I am feeling right now. Can’t understand it. I first experienced the black frame and was able to remove it, but this new version of Sony is creating short robotic freeze frames.

I am trying to follow your suggestion.

Grazie are you saying that prerendering may change the memory? That’s the only way I can explain it. The freeze frames are all in the same places. This is new. I’ll try prerendering. Thank you.

Aaron I’m not sure if I’m clear about the editing in DNxHD. I am currently rendering in DNxHD. I’m unclear about going from XDCAM to DNxHD. QuickTime allows me to see the render. I’m not sure if I can playback an MXF file to see how it looks. Would I need a special software to play back an MXF file?

Many thanks,

Debbie

Hi Grazie:

The DNxHD format is required for distribution. I ended up restalling both Vegas (new version of 12) and NewBlue. There’s no flickering, well not so far. I am rerendering now. What I experienced in my last render was freezing of the frame after rendering. When I go back to play that frame again, it played fine, then another frame would freeze. I am trying this once more and if it happens again, I am going back to my devious version of Vegas 12 with updates.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Debbie

Hi Everyone:

Thank you for your replies.

Yes Grazie, same prerendered settings are used. I just made a discovery of what may be the cause. I am using 2 Newblue plugins where the flickering is happening. Should I reset Vegas or reinstall newblue to test the outcome?

Many thanks,

Debbie
