Hi Peter

I use Hitfilm Pro for long text roll (there is a free version, Hitfilm Express) Hitfilm is also Vegas Pro compatible.

Here’s a tutorial to get you started.

Hi Peter

Can you post a link to what you are looking for? Do you mean like the opening text in Star Wars ?

Hi Max

If your video is going to be uploaded on Youtube try encoding your ”UHD” video at a bitrate of between 30 and 35Mbits. Beyond that, I think that what you’ll gain in detail is not apparent anymore.

I believe that Youtube will convert it to h265 (so that it will have a smaller file without loss of details). In general, Youtube caps video speed for UHD at 14Mbits in h265 (equivalent to 30Mbits in h264) . That’s why I think it’s useless to make your h264 video beyond 35Mbits .

A file with a high bitrate will have more information that will be useful for calibration. Bare in mind that if you know that you won’t need to colour correct in post, then you can shoot at a lower bit rate.

When you have a file with more information, your corrections on the video will suffer less. For example; if you increase the exposure when you have shadows, you will have less noise. Remember that you do not want to post-process a compressed file because the compression artifacts might throw off what you are trying to accomplish with the post-processing.

By the way, you have 2 choices to prepare for edit, either:

You colour correct and touch up all your videos, you render and with these renders you edit. I recommend this method if you have a lot of video (say more than 90 min. of video) or, you do all of your editing and once finished, before rendering, you calibrate your videos with the tools that are included with Vegas Pro or compatible plugins. Personally, I use the latter. Note that I do the calibration last (after editing) because playing pre-calibrated videos will make your computer sweat (unless you have a killer wizbang machine) .

Hope I haven’t bored you with to many details…

P.S.: If someone wants to add (or correct me) please fell free ! Even my wife says I’m not perfect….

Cheers !

Hi Ridvan

Can you give us a step by step description of your recording procedure.

Are you recording directly from the camera via Firewire, USB, etc.

Is the material recorded on tape, CF card, SD or something else ? File type ?

We would also need the version of Vegas you’re using and basic PC specs.

Cheers !

Hi Robert

Like Graham says, experiment with sounds. You’d be surprised at what you can get from mundane sources.

As for light leaks, there is a lot of free stuff out there. Look around, no need to re-invent the wheel sometimes.

Get out there and record that squeaky door, your A/C unit, your neighbors band saw, etc…

Look at Graham’s face, you can tell he’s having a blast experimenting.

Light leaks , one of them here:

Hi Max

Yes, John has it right. The Youtube encoding is the culprit. There is however a workaround that sometimes works (don’t ask me why sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t, I have no clue)

Regardless of your project settings, try rendering the same video that you posted as if it was a 4K. Make sure that your render settings are at the max quality.

Making Youtube believe that it is a 4K file may just be the ticket in order to fool it.

Cheers…and Bonne Chance !

Hi Max

It would help if we had some more info. Are you running Windows, Mac or Ubuntu. What version ? What version of Vegas do you have ?

Cheers !

Hi Vincent

Just to get use to it, open a new projet with a short clip (2 min).

Go to Options/Ripple/All Tracks, Markers and Region

NOTE: Auto Ripple should be checked.

Put in 3 or 4 markers. Split the clip at the markers. Now move one of the clips and the marker should follow.

Cheers !

Hi Charles

Everybody has their own way of storing files. Here’s a link to one of many tutorial on how to organize your files.
