[Michael Gyori] “Is there an easy way”

Try this:

1] Hold down the Ctrl Key and SCRUB all the K/S – this will create a Selection of the K/S

2] Now, WHILE the K/Fs are selected hold down the ALT key and DRAG the furthest, or nearest, K/F towards the beginning, or end, of the Selection. What you will find is that the distance between each and every K/F will be reduced equally (oh, BTW this is a neat trick for doing this in itself!) and you will keep closing the distance.

3] KEEP going! You will first condense ALL the k/Fs into a “stack” – scary! – BUT keep going through this pile-up and OUT the other side. What I have here, using a simple GenMEd Changing Colour is that the K/S have rearranged into a reverse order. Neat!

Failing the above, render out sequence and just reverse that.

It’s a great posting! I think you have kinda answered your own question?

You understand your business. Making a DVD from “all types” of media is a one way street. Once it is on DVD, a very lossy format, we are kinda done. And I presume you don’t hold any media back? So it is the final offering . . .

My approach to clients is to ASK them what they want to do with the “archived” material when they get it back from me.

Do they want to:-

1/- Further Edit?

2/- Show it on high holidays: Christmas; Diwali; Eid; Pesach. . (sub your own!)?

3/- Have it available in many and different “Broadcast” options now amazingly available to us all?

It would seem you’re in a quandary as to how much responsibility you need to be putting yourself under – yeah?

Point in case with my last client:

“We want a DVD” I did it, he got it.

“We want to Edit it for another audience” I had both i)the original media PLUS ii)a Lagarith Lossless AVI. I needed both ‘cos he wanted to get back at the original Text in the Text Plates and make other changes. I did it and he got it.

“We want to broadcast this over a UK-wide Intranet” – I spoke with the Techies and I produced a further 5 renderings to fit their kit. I did it, they got. Client happy.

. . and another, a 15 month project:

“We want the final Video on DVD AND in a lossless format” I did both. It is in Lagarith AVI and he got it on a portable hard-drive. It was part of the contract and I delivered exactly what he asked for. ISSUE: Lagarith doesn’t play on a MAC – now what? – In everything that is digital I asked him: “You DO have a record and archive of this Project, it is the DVD?

He: “Oh, can I use that for editing? How do I get the files off of it?”

Me: “In the same way I used your 50 year old footage off of the the last DVD you had made for the celebrations 8 years ago! Was the quality ok for you?”

He “Oh, I see. Then maybe we don’t need to ……”

Do you see where I’m coming from? Once he had realised that ALTHOUGH it was a DVD, and that same MPEG2 was able to be extracted and used in his 2012 project, and he and the organisation were very happy with the results, he could feel ok about what he had got. But he needed to experience the wrangles and unnecessary hoops that could happen. In the end, he is getting to a pragmatic view that it is done; he has a Lagarith Lossless which WILL be viable as long as PCs and Lagarith and so on are available and none of us know what will be available in the future. . . .

Now, having had this experience, my advice would be to have a simple questionnaire ready for your “clients” to answer. And at every CHOICE have a price point – that will kinda narrow it down for them – Lol!

OK, let sanity prevail: We are in much Format Turmoil-Angst – it will pass . . . but until that time we all need to be extra carefully CLEAR and transparent with the clients. Much hand-holding is needed, however, rely on them to make a final decision, but do have that final decision signed-off by them, with a signature. Oh yes.

I’m really tickled you’ve got it to work.

You’ve got the K-Lite CODEC pack installed. This maybe the issue as what was already installed and the KL start fighting each other for supremacy!

Try this: Download G-Spot and determine just is inside the media. GS will also indicate if you have the CODEC and what CODEC you need.

I’ve never ever dl-ed KL and would never advise to do so.

Try this: Don’t mix the 2 Formats in the same Project. If I find issues with mixed Formats I set my Project to the majority if the Media, here for you that could be the GoPro, and render, in a separate Vegas project, the iPhone Media. Bring that DI (Digital Intermeadiate) back into your main project and render again. Lets see if you can “cure” this black frames issue to start with? Then start to hassle the search for small file size.

For MPEG4, try this:

If you have AMD graphics, set encode mode to ‘Render using OpenCL’
If you have Nvidia graphics, set encode mode to ‘Render using CUDA’

Check that you haven’t the FX Bypass activated. It’s located on your Preview Window.

Jorge & David, do me a favour, try rendering the SAME Media that will not render in VP12 and, if you have it installed still, do the same in VP11.

Do you guys get any ERROR reports?

Cheers
