I would use JPG or PNG. Virtually anything is better than TIF.

You have multiple tracks selected and all selected tracks change. Press CTRL-SHIFT-A to deselect everything and then adjust the audio level (or just click on that track header to select only that one track)

[Sergey Rtishchev] “What is the meaning of the “x12” and “x24″ above?”

12-bit color depth and 24-bit color depth.

The 12-bit would allow 4 bits for each of RGB while the 24-bit will allow 8 bits for each of RGB.

Look UNDER the “start” bar in Windows.

The one that you drag will be FIRST. The rest will be in numerical order. So make sure you drag the first one. What’s WINDOW’s convention of doing things.

Both Excalibur and Ultimate S will do that as well. Here’s an OLD script I wrote five years ago that does this. Just save it as “AlphaChannelAllMedia.js” and run it in Vegas Pro.

/**
* This script will modify the alpha channel in the current
* project’s media pool.

import System.Windows.Forms;
import Sony.Vegas;

//var AType = VideoAlphaType.None;
//var AType = VideoAlphaType.Straight;
var AType = VideoAlphaType.Premultiplied;
//var AType = VideoAlphaType.PremultipliedDirty;

try {
var mediaEnum = new Enumerator(Vegas.Project.MediaPool);
while (!mediaEnum.atEnd()) {
var media = mediaEnum.item();
// only add the effect if the media object has a video stream.
if (media.HasVideo())
{
var mediaStream = media.Streams.GetItemByMediaType(MediaType.Video, 0);;
mediaStream.AlphaChannel = AType;
}
mediaEnum.moveNext();
}

} catch (e) {
MessageBox.Show(e);
}

Usually when this happens, the “missing” window is actually under Window’s START bar. Set the start bar to auto hide, look under there and move it back to the main area of the screen, and the turn off auto hide. Alternately, change the screen resolution to a higher resolution, move the screen back to the main area, and reset the screen resolution back to where you want it.

Yeah, but once you go past 0, you’re no longer “slowing down” – You’re speeding up – just in the opposite direction! 🙂

[John Rofrano] “If you had the Pro version you could add a velocity envelope and slow it down 12x.”

Speeding up can go up to 12x. Slowing down, a single Velocity envelope can slow down to 0% (freeze frame).

I have that process explained in my newsletters.
