August 25, 2014 at 1:22 am in reply to: Problems applying audio Fx to part of soundtrackGreat idea, John! That’s what I ended up doing: I duplicated the audio track, applied Vinyl to the duplicate only and cut out the parts I didn’t need. Then I faded in/out as necessary and adjusted levels to even out volume of the mix. The original track was left untouched and no keyframes were used. Thank you very much for the suggestion!

August 23, 2014 at 12:45 am in reply to: Problems applying audio Fx to part of soundtrackThank you for the prompt response. I’ve used the automation option exactly the way you describe it and that is the problem. Instead of creating one colored line to automate Izotope Vinyl as a single unit Vegas uses one colored line per parameter (dust, distortion, gain, etc.), which forces me to use five to ten keyframes best case where I could use two at the most. I wish it was easier.

Thank you Pete, I will try it.

Thank you, I thought it was that since your first response, sometimes one has to run into these situations to find out what the software limits are.

That’s exactly what I was doing when I ran into the problem.
I gave up and did it manually although in larger presentations it will a lot more difficult to move images one by one. I’ve gone to Sony with this problem, see what they say.
Thank you very much for the help. -
Ahhh! Thank you! And is there a way of stretching the group to fit the length of the audio track? (they’re still images, by the way).

It was disabled already, Mike. It might be more on the lines of what Edward Troxel is saying.

Thank you for responding.
Yes, they are grouped. When pulling the images towards the end they move together and a wavy line appears between them which confirms the grouping…. -
Here’ what I have done in the past:
– Use the filters/video/NTSC colors option in Photoshop (if you have it) when photo editing is done, that should fix the difficult colors such as red..
– Adjust your image to 1x the video size if you are not going to zoom it. If you are, then use 2x at the most.
– Using the Sony Vegas Gaussian Blur Filter at 0.001, vertical only could help although it softens the image a bit.
– I recently started using the Sony Vegas Soft Contrast filter, moderate setting with great results.
– Using the right encoder helps, I find that MainConcept & Sony MP4 are more contrasty and accentuate the flickering, WMV renders softer video and XVid (AVI) is the best for reducing contrast problems. -
Thank you, I did everything except for step 1 although for some reason the grouping didn’t work for me. I’ll use your process and see how it goes, thks. again.
