Thanks! I will give this a try. But does this mean that typical DVD/BD levels are lower than the levels of the TV programmes?
By the way: I also happened to find another topic on AC3 volume reduction posted in 2004, which says”:
When rendering to AC3 format, the volume will be automatically reduced. If you wish to prevent this from happening, make the following setting changes:
Change the dialog normalization to -31
On the PreProcessing tab, change both the Line mode profile and RF mode profile to NONE
Is this something that has to be done as well or is this something that had to be done in older vegas versions?

“Well, the problem is that Vegas will render to Cineform as it trims the clips. If it’s giving you an error about no codec found, then my guess is that you cannot render to Cineform and need to fix this problem before saving and trimming clips will work. Make sure you have NeoScene 5.2!”
An upgrade to NeoScene 5.2 indeed allows to save the project together with the trimmed clips. Many thanks for the tip.
As far as the render issue is concerned, rendering to Cineform keeps giving the low memory error, even with only 1 core used. When I render to AVCHD, I am able to render a small project with 2 cores. So I suppose this will have to be the way to follow? Just don’t know why this is not possible with Cineform.Dirk

“Did you render to Cineform format? I doubt highly that your media player can play Cineform files. I’m guessing you rendered to a Blu-ray compliant format. You need to try and render to Cineform to test whether it works or not. Since there are no Cineform templates in Vegas Pro 9.0 you will need to make one in order to test this. If you haven’t made a Cineform template then you definitely didn’t test rendering to Cineform and it may be a codec installation problem”
I think I see what you mean: I did not render TO Cineform, what I meant is that I rendered Cineform clips imported in Vegas to something else (BD-iso through make disk command). So, if I save my project including trimmed clips I need to render TO Cineform and this might be a problem. Is that correct?
How do I make a Cineform template myself? Rendering partial projects to Cineform might also be useful regarding the problem I have with “vegas turning low on memory” as I mentioned in another post. -
Ok, let me put it this way. I’ve seen many posts about the “low memory”, a lot of them without solution. Splitting up the project seems to work in most cases.
So, if I split up my project in several .veg files and I render each of these small projects, what should I render them into if my final goal is a BD iso-file?
1) AVCHD, which includes audio and video (I think)
2) render video and audio separately (blu-ray for video and ac3 for audio) and put them back on the timeline?When I put these rendered files on the timeline in a new project and render this “compiled” project, will there be another encoding with possible loss of quality?

The version is indeed Vegas Pro 9e.

I checked and can render Cineform from vegas

Unfortunately, I don’t have an I7, only a quadcore. NeoScene was advised to me as a very good intermediate format. I tested AVCHD with a few clips on the timeline and it worked well, but as I didn’t want too many problems with bigger projects, NeoScene was the way I went.

Some time ago, I rendered part of that project into a BD iso file to play with my mediaplayer. Worked fine. So, I guess it has nothing to do with the codec? (I Just don’t remember if the Vegas version at that time was the latest 9-version (maybe it was 9c or 9d))
The reason why I want to save the project with the trimmed files: Once my project is finished I want to render it into a BD iso file. I want to save the project in case I decide to render it to another format later (e.g. DVD) without having to keep all the NeoScene clips: The NeoScene clips take a lot of space, while only a fraction of that material is actually used in the project after trim and cut. So I just want to keep the original AVCHD material and the NeoScene trimmed clips that have actually been used.

That’s exactly what I need. Thanks a lot.

That’s how I figured it out initially. However, I was a Pinnacle Studio user for years, where you could simply drag and drop an event to the split point. That’s why I assumed this is also possible with vegas.
Mike, the solution you propose, is that a work-around or is it nevertheless possible to just drop and drag?
