Really Nice !!!!!
You may want to try Vimeo next time. Sounds like Youtube really compressed your audio.

Hi John
Then why not use something like Dropbox or equivalent ? Or maybe good old trusty FTP. Last thing you want is compression if you can.

Hi John
Just curious as to why you would want to save your file(s) where they would be downgraded. Is it just for storage purposes or file sharing ?

May 3, 2019 at 11:10 am in reply to: Importing transparent media doesn’t go away in SonyVegasProIt helps if you are using the right type of file. .PNG will do the trick.
It also helps if your .PNG has been created from the onset with the transparency.
But definitely, .JPGs won’t work.

Can you upload the file ? I’ll take a look at it and see if I can reproduce your problem.

Just to add to Graham’s response, lines will also show in your preview window when you are in any other mode than Best/Full. The lower the resolution, the more lines are visible. I get that sometimes also when masking. I can’t tell from your still what viewing mode you’re using. Could be just that.
Cheers !

April 26, 2019 at 3:38 pm in reply to: No audio tracks when importing avi file with Vegas 15.0Sorry about not getting back sooner. As George said, sometimes it’s pretty much trial and error as to what is first, second, etc… on the FX chain, but I denoise before anything else.
Once you start using your scopes properly, you can’t work without them anymore. I personally use all 3; Vector, Wave and Histogram. They are your best reference. Any monitor can be out of wack but the scopes will tell you the real story. Unfortunately, most will not take the time to learn how to read them. (this may not apply to you but maybe to the next reader)
Here’s a link to get you started: https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/video-essentials-how-to-read-a-vectorscope-and-waveform-monitor/
There are also numerous tutorials out there. Google is your friend. You can’t all be as fortunate as we old fogies when back in the 70’s we had Proc amps, Cameras, Time Base Correctors, etc… that had to be adjusted every morning using Vectorscopes and Waveforms. Tedious but you got to understand the basics. Enough rambling !
I encourage all to get better acquainted in using these tools. If you’re going to spend all that time shooting and editing, might as well make your final result pop rather than just OK.
Cheers !

April 24, 2019 at 12:46 pm in reply to: Do higher quality videos cause more preview lag?HI Lee
Using Proxy Files may just be your ticket.
Step 1 – Import all your video clips
Step 2 – Open the Project Media tab and then select/highlight all your video clips as a group.
Step 3 – Now right-click highlighted group and select Create Video Proxy. Movie Studio/Vegas Pro will now render video proxy versions for all your video clips. The proxy versions will be easier to play and work with. The will be saved into the same folder location as your original videos. Please note that it may take quite some time for your video proxies to be rendered, especially if they are large in file size.
Step 4 – Drag your videos onto the timeline as you normally would. The program will automatically play back the new proxy versions for you. However you must set the Preview Window to Draft or Preview quality for the proxy video versions to playback while you edit.
If you set the Preview Window to Good or Best, your original HD or 4K video versions will play instead.
Step 5 – When it is time to render/export your project, you don’t have to do anything different or swap any files out. The program will automatically render your project using the original video files.Step 1 – Import all your video clips

Hi Mark
You can get the Firewire cards for less then 10$ on Amazon. Not worth the hassle of workarounds.
