December 17, 2007 at 11:03 pm in reply to: mix automation with sound forge vs pro tools?Vegas has automation tools as well. ProTools doesn’t have anything different, I think we’re miscommunicating as a result of semantics.
Vegas has plugins that provide auto-leveling. So does ProTools. So does Sound Forge. Automation means it’s remembering moves you’ve made to the faders. Auto-leveling means it’s reading the audio levels and doing the volume changes for you to a preset max/min. Normalizing is bringing everything up/down to a pre-determined level, but there are various methods of normalizing (peaks/RMS).Douglas Spotted Eagle

December 17, 2007 at 10:48 pm in reply to: 30 sec commercial is over 1GB…HELP!Render as a DV file in Quicktime, or at the least, an MJPEG file in Quicktime.
QT is just a wrapper. Sounds like you rendered an uncompressed file. What was the source format?Douglas Spotted Eagle

December 17, 2007 at 10:07 pm in reply to: audio mix automation tools in vegas?You could use normalizing, but you’re better off exporting to Forge for normalizing, IMO.
That’s about it.
BlueCat software has a leveling plugin that costs around 59.00 or 79.00, you might give that a shot.Douglas Spotted Eagle

DVD camcorders can be MPEG2 or AVCHD (MPEG 4)
I think he’s referring to a camcorder that was used to acquire one of these formats, and then someone converted it to wmv.
Additionally, some folks connect junk cams to the Archos devices and record that way, outputting .wmv.
It’s possible, but a PITA.Douglas Spotted Eagle

December 15, 2007 at 3:36 pm in reply to: What’s the best way to achieve 24p look?A-shoot as if you were shooting 24p even though it’s 60i.
B-open a 24p timeline, drop the resultant 60i footage on it.
C-edit.
Done.There are three different articles related to this subject on the VASST site, but that’s the gist of it.

December 14, 2007 at 8:05 pm in reply to: Protitler – applying presets to existing texts vs?Drag the preset to the timeline, double click the default text to modify. You cannot apply a preset to existing text.
The lack of a color picker is one of the frustrating aspects of PTT, I agree.
You may find this DVD to be of help to you.

December 12, 2007 at 3:32 pm in reply to: Best WMV encoding for streaming to dial-up users?Most anyone on dialup is going to hate you for uploading a 512kpbs stream.
At best of best, they’re doing 100K over dialup, and that’s with managed service. The predominant surveys from Streaming Media show that the average dialup is around 40Kpbs.
Edit/create your stream accordingly. Merely re-encoding a higher-bitrate stream for a lower bitrate stream is rarely enough. It takes additional time and editing to create a quality low-bitrate stream.Douglas Spotted Eagle

MPEG smart-rendering in Vegas is only for 19, 25, 35, and 50Mbps streams, not MPEG ripped from DVDs.
