Are you rendering to AC3 audio?

I would use a script that deletes all FX.

NO. They must all be on separate tracks.

This could be a problem with the “Movie Studio” versions as they’re limited to 4 tracks. The full version allows unlimited tracks, though.

Yes, you can do multiple colors with a SINGLE title. However, you have to do it via masking and have those additional colors on another track(s).

If you want multiple colors and you want to define the colors in the text generated media, you’ll need multiple text generated medias – one for each color.

You might want to look through Vol 1 #8 and Vol 2 #8 of my newsletters.

YOU have to create the transitional videos you want to use.

Have you turned off ‘Terminal Services’ in your computer services?

[Russell Miller] “It creates a m2t file, which is a very large file.”

Not compared to “uncompressed”! 🙂

[Russell Miller] “So I have been rendering the m2t files to an mpeg2 file”

Hmm… You’ve been taking an MPEG2 file (m2t = Mpeg 2 Transport Stream) and compressing to another MPEG2 file??? Not sure that makes sense.

[Russell Miller] “Is there anything I should do differently that could possibly increase quality or help me in any way.”

If you’re wanting to use a different format that might be easier for your computer to handle, I’d lean toward the Cineform codec instead of MPEG2.

If you were rendering SD MPEG2, I’d consider going to just standard DV-AVI instead of MPEG2. DV-AVI is probably the easiest format for Vegas to use.

First of all, DO NOT e-mail them!!!!

Instead, upload them to a web server somewhere and then e-mail a LINK to the video(s). Then the recipient can download at their leisure and not be forced into receiving a huge e-mail.

As for the format, try WMV at maybe the 512 preset. Then adjust until you reach the quality/size compromise you’re willing to accept.

Yes there is. However, the first question is what is the current background? For example, if you tape them in front of a green screen, you can chroma-key out the green and replace it with whatever background. If it’s a highly varied background, things are much more difficult.

Take a look at this to see how a “difference” compositing mode may help:
