From my own and others experiences of render crashes here are a few noteworthy pointers:
* Over heating CPU. This COULD be due to overclocking and/or dirty cooling system
* Asking the PC to do too much whilst rendering – kill virus protection and INTERNET. Any utilities over stretching your PC?
* Having far to big stills and often TIFF files have been known to do this – I use PNGs
* Propably the biggest culprit will be attempting to go from a very rich mixed-media format timeline DIRECTLY to WMV. If you can establish, by trial and error, which parts of the timeline ( = MEDIA) makes the render crash, then right there could identify the issue? Once you have established that then you can make an alternative arrangement. Personally, I have success in rendering to an interim, simple AVI and then once I have THAT I would entertain going to a delivery format, like DivX or WMV. Maybe your jump is too much for your pc? Having had several years of Vegas, a crashing render is the very last thing I need.
Just because Vegas CAN do much of what it is called upon to do, we need to give it a helping hand and to be realistic in just what it can munch on, swallow, digest and . . well I wont continue with the image/metaphor, but suffice it to say sometimes our expectations need to tempered with just how much math IS being employed against WHAT is realistic for a given PC.

Yes. I needed to be told about the “S”. I couldn’t find or missed that instruction in reading the online help.
Yes, particleView was included with my download, hence my wish to find the Search facility. All I needed to know was how to access the Searching facility.

Thanks Alan.
2 product suggestions?
1] Make it possible to change properties of “found” emitter thru Emitter Search
2] Drag and drop Emitter directly from Emitter Search into PI.

How do I get to particleView’s “emitter search feature“?

How about Satish’s Frameserver?

Theo? David says he knows about motion blur, he’s after stationary/static blur I guess that is global to all the particles?
David, I can’t see a way at present, other than taking it BACK into your NLE and blurring there?

Great stuff Kevin!
Have I seen a video/tutorial which explains how to use LETTERS as barriers or something like that? There is one on “Disintegrate a Logo with particleIllusion“
Hmmm…. c’mon Alan, pitch in here . . please?

You’ll be okay . . .
Once imported into Vegas you have to manually set & select the Alpha Channel – it will NOT do it by itself.
So: – Right Click on the Event in Vegas > Properties > Media (tab) > Stream Properties > Alpha Channel ( nearly there!) > Select “Straight (un matted)”

Good question. I haven’t an answer.

Kelly Chien aka “Chienworks”, created a piece of s/w that was designed to capture via VidCap analog streams from an already “setup” tv stream. I have used it. And I would think that with a bit of planing – you NEED to sync your capture “recipe” to your PC clock – and leave the tape running, that this would be doable too.
