[David Shirey] ” Can anyone help with that?”

Only MAGIX. In the DropDown Menus Under EDIT, I’m not seeing a Key Board Command following the Instruction “Select All After Cursor” as we can see following “Select All“:

Subsequently nothing will be revealed in the Keyboard Command Shortcuts. You could make a Feature request to MAGIX and see what the response will be? However I can use the VASST Select EventTools:

I’ve got it setup with the following KB Command:

[Samuel Bolo] “Do you know why? “

I have absolutely no idea. Unless somebody has a better understanding, I have to think that one of the methods to reveal framerate may not be reliable. Does VegasPro have an option to limit or clamp FPS?

Do you know the FPS video was captured at?

Use MediaInfo to identify the FPS and bring the results back here.

You could also try the option using Match Project Settings to Media.

[Vidoje Isakovic] “Is it possible to change velocity on 3 clips in same time?”

I went back to VP14 and no. However, Nesting! – Nesting is your savior here. Save your 3 Track Project as, a “3 Track Project.veg” somewhere, say on the Desktop, open a NEW fresh Vegas session and navigate to your Desktop and import that “3 Track Project.veg” into this NEW Vegas Session and THEN add your Velocity Envelope onto that! Done . . and done.

Nesting allows us to treat VEGGIES as just another Event/Media.

[Jeff David] “1 hour and 52 minutes”

Jeff, totally doable. The capacity you can achieve depends on a combination of the following :

1) Video noise is the amount granularity or pixel changes you have present. Things that create this can be low light pixelation that haven’t been rectified or smoothed out or denoised; fireworks that have been captured with a small capacity camera sensor; Motion variations and transition dissolves that haven’t been prerendered to create a reducing in noise. There may very well be a longer list, but I’ve found these to be my main culprits! Why are they important to reduce? Because at each and every frame that there is a change in colour, size and position of those particles or noise they will have to be encoded. The more changes there are the more math has to be done to achieved the bitrate of compression that is required. And THAT reflects in the final size of the encode and here that means the size of your DVD burnt. So, simply put, the higher the bitrate selected within your Render template the bigger that video file will become.

And here’s the thing: If you give your encoder the freedom to choose the bitrate for you, it will eat up as much of that bitrate it wants. It is a greedy animal and will bloat your final size of, for here, a DVD, easily beyond that 4.7gb size.

2) How long your video is. I’ve easily done a two hour DVD including complex Menus and quality audio.

So, where does that leave us? You need to wrangle in that large sized render and to get an idea just how BIG your bitrate has become. To do this I use a freebie s/w called, BitRate Viewer ! This has revealed to me where within the video and just needy/greedy that encode had become. Do use it by dragging that MPEG encode onto the interface, leave it until it has read that MPEG file and view the rates you’ve been using. It will stun you – it did me.

The next freebie to use is Mark’s DVD Creator. This is a COW post that will give a link to John Clines site. Using the calculator you can enter all your variables/parameters to get your DVD within that DVD 4.7gb.

So, to recap : Final DVD size is dependant on a combination of BitRate and total Playtime.

A) Know what you’ve got – BitRate Viewer.

B) Know what you can do to reduce video noise.

C) Know how to set your DVD Template. – Mark’s DVD Creator.

My apologies in advance if I’ve missed out or badly described the process, but it is the process I’ve followed through the years and works for me.

[Kyle Le] “hi. when I move clips on the time line, is there a way to prevent them from automatically cross fading when I put them near each other?”

Sounds like you have Automatically overlap multiple selected media when added. Go Options > Preferences > Editing Tab

[Kyle Le] “how do I make sure that vegas is using the GPU and not the CPU to render?”

Do you know if your GPU is capable to be used for Rendering?

[Ralf Hermann] “Anyone with a suggestion ?”

From my own experience and reading about this issue, here are several remedies you can try in progressive steps:

1) Determine your edition of Microsoft’s .NET Framework . I installed the latest and continue in keeping up to date with. If you’re not confident working at this level then rather start from 2) . Check result.

2) Ensure you have the latest Build. If not install. Check result.

3) Factory Reset. Check result.

4) Reinstall. Check result.

I’m hoping 1) above should do it. It did for me. But you do it at your own risk. If you are not confident then rather start from 2).

Keep us informed.

[Duane Weed] “I have Sony Vegas 14 and was wondering if anyone is doing band mixes?”

Hi Duane! Sounds exciting. OK, not a band mixing bone in my body, but…. I’ve done plenty of multitrack Audio work professionally for soundscapes and v/o and Stems from both Royalty Free licences from one company that supplies to the BBC and AdAgencies. And yes Steve is correct, it is more than just doable in VP – up to a point. And it’s this up to a point reality and thusly creativity that I want to share, get across to you… Hells teeth, if I’d only had the balls to have gotten:

1) A decent external Control Surface, like the USB 8 Track Mixer – I now have the PreSonus Fader8

and something like, no, correction that IS:

2) Studio One Pro

Then I’d have been flying with more options and creativity than ALL my previous 20 years of scrabbling around.

As to 1) above if you can get a multifader that utilises envelope automation with SFXs and so on then please explore this. Trying or attempting to do Fader manipulations straight inside VP is a bit of a pain, no, a major PITA. PreSonus do do a single Fader option, worth a look at. But be warned, the MACKIE emulation from within VP is frantic and confusing. Just saying…..

Tips for Mixing Audio in VP? But I’m sure you’d be doing this anyways:

1) Get the VP VERTICAL Fader Menu front and centre. It’s a great piece of VP Control.

2) Levels and output monitors correctly set.

I’ll shutup now and look forward to listening to yer band-age ????

2) Frame by frame working here with NumLock ON.
