Hi Raúl

First off: Do you really have to work with a laptop ? If you are thinking about spending any significant length of time editing, you may want to look into getting a desktop. Granted, there are some powerful laptop out there but for the same money, you get more out of a desktop. I also use a laptop but only when I am out in the field and want to cut a rough edit. Vegas Pro is very CPU intensive, more so than RAM. Laptops are notorious for over heating and when that happens, performances drop. Also, your best bet is to get a computer that is more workstation focused than gaming oriented.

Don’t get me wrong, there are some great editing laptops out there…but they do come at a cost.

Cheers !

Hi Brett

You may want to try this utility from Sony. I haven’t used it in a while but I believe it will suit your purpose. It was great for importing files from the camera’s recording unit (HVR-MRC1) and it did read and register the record date.

You can download it here:

Hi Kelly

In Vegas, you can try this:

Create a new Title (right-click in the project area, click the icon, etc.)
Set it to the sequence dimensions (the default)
Choose the Type tool (the T symbol) – NOT the Area Type tool.
Click once at the bottom-left of the screen, at the vertical position where you want the ticker to be.
Pick the font, size, color, fill, etc on the properties tree that now displays.
Click again on the small vertical box marking the position of the type box, you’ll see it flash as the cursor wakes up.
Copy and paste your ticker text – it must be all on one line, so it helps to copy it from a text editor.
The text box will enlarge to fit, so it’ll extend waaay off the right side of the window.
Click the Roll/Crawl options tool (the second icon below the name of the title on the panel tab, a set of lines with a vertical arrow)
Choose Crawl Left, and (usually) start/end off screen.
Click OK and close the titler window.
Drop the new title onto the sequence timeline and stretch it out to set the in/out points, and hence the crawl speed.

Cheers !

Hi Dave

This is done with Color Corrector (Secondary) in the Video FX tab.

Here’s a link made with Vegas 8 but the steps are the same.

I’m to lazy to type it all up 🙂

Hi Hubert

Hope I understood your predicament correctly. If not, let us know.

Why not just copy your time line, add to second time line and then, in the Track Motion box, right click and use Flip Horizontal and/or Flip Vertical. This way, you get an exact copy of whatever you’re using with, hopefully, the effect desired.

Cheers !

Hi Michael

In Render check the Match project settings then choose the file type that best suits your needs.

P.S.: You will eventually see another more lengthy response from me ’cause for some reason it’s ”pending review”. Go figure…

Hi Michael

In Render As check the box for Match project settings then chose the type of file that best match your needs depending if you’re going to stream it or put it on a physical support.

A lot of questions are asked here about the various file extensions and containers. Which one is better suited for shooting purposes and which one is best for delivery. I encourage you to read (a lot) and get well versed on the subject so that the results of your hard work are viewed as the should.

Here’s one of many good reads if you want to get technical about .M2T aka MPEG-2 Transport stream.
