You could decide to make the more Global FX a Track FX and keep the “other” as an Event FX?

You have a document. A WORD Doco? Or what type of doco . . ?

This is how I do it:

1/- Print to PDF

2/- Open in Adobe Acrobat

3/- Zoom up to 300% – or depending on your area you need to cover.

4/- Select ALL

5/- Open my Graphics package – Corel – and Paste

6/- Save in the most resolution<>sensible<>size format I want. For me that’s like a <1.5mb PNG

7/- Import into VP.

Job Done!

The recognition that you’ve realized is that whatever happens, the ScreenGrab is limited to:

A] That which you can SEE

and . .

B] The reso you’re allowed in a ScreenGrab session.

So, to recap:

Print to PDF > Open Adobe Acrobat > Select All > “COPY” > Graphics package and “PASTE” > Save as a Vegas Media, and for me that’s PNG.

Cheers

Any 32 bit version of Vegas will use the plugs, which, as VP12 is not, it wont.

I’ve got them playing in VP10 32bit. I didn’t even bother d/l-ing 32 VP11, too much hastle. But if you have it try in VP11 32bit too.

[John Kendrick] “What am I missing??”

“HandBrake”?

I’m having great success with it. Try it – you might ;like it. It is free and does the job – lickety split! – Mind you, I haven’t tried AVCHD, so try it and see.

Handbrake : https://handbrake.fr/

[Linda O'Connell] “They assume it’s no different then uploading a picture. I have said no I don’t offer that but I think I need to offer some option for it.”

Quite. It is not easy, and it is left to us, Content Providers or Content Suppliers to come up with solutions.

Hmmm….?

Maybe a short questionnaire would suffice. For you it could:-

1/- Demonstrate your wish to be able to comply with their “wants”.

2/- Indicate what is on offer.

3/- Allow them to make the most appropriate decision – for them.

The Questionnaire could be along the lines of:

1/- Do you want this material available 24/7?

2/- What age range would be accessing this material?

3/- Would everybody have access to the INTERNET? What Speed are they on?

4/- What level of resolution do they want? Here Reso=Size! Maybe they are unaware of this . . . ?

5/- How much would you be willing to pay for storage? Per Month? Per Year Per Decade?

6/- When would agree that the material could be removed, forever? One Month? One Year? Decade?

Of course the list is potentially massive, but if you “shaped” it in a friendly way it would assist both yourself and your client/s to get a way forward.

OK, morbidity alert: Recently I had to clear my late Father’s residence. I threw, yes threw as in dumped some 40 years of 8mm sprocket video and maybe 30+ years of VHS stuff. I felt guilty. But looking at some of the material, most of the people had died and those that are still alive don’t remember and mostly a few bits would be good to save and move on. The truth is that I just don’t have enough time to plough through ALL the material, edit and save it. And then, for what? – I put this, what is really sad, story for you so you can kinda gauge what is meant by “hanging-on”. I may not be professional about sharing that here, on the COW, it is about engaging the emotional vector in this “holding-on” process. Sometimes it just ain’t economic or healthy to do so?

OK, I hope the “list” above helps, along with the reasoning behind it. I have run several businesses, and needing to get to “yes” is important. Wanting to get to “no” also has its benefits.

Best regards

Graham “Grazie” Bernard

I don’t know AVID, but, if I’ve understood in principle what you wish to do there are 2 ways in Vegas Pro – not sure about Sony Vegas Studio 12 if you have method 2 available?:

1/- Render out ProjectA and import to ProjectB

2/- “Nesting” – This allows for ongoing editing to ProjectA from ProjectB while you need to do so.

This Nesting is great as the ProjectA”Nest” maybe be treating as just another piece of Media in ProjectB.

[Linda O'Connell] “Have you done anything with online video storage?

Online I use for Client approval; Client EDL creation to a Spreadsheet. For this I now use a combo of, and mainly MP4 – VP is darn good at chucking this out, or WMV.

[Linda O'Connell] “Or is that just too much of a quality loss?”

Again, it’s that bit about WHAT your/my client is expecting, or even NEEDS!.

[Linda O'Connell] “And is there a certain company you are using for online video storage?”

My needs do not extend that far: I shoot>I edit>I pass for Client Approval > I re-edit for Client approval. I use DropBox and it is perfect for me.

Now, I have to ask, where in your WorkFlow would you require a Company to “host” your GBs?

[Hunter Smith] ” How important”

In which way? Speed? Acuity? Access to all templates? It being used while you get on with other jobs? Will GPU Render ACCel work for ALL templates?
