[Don Bloom] “HTHs”
Yes, and thanks for clearing it up some more.

[Mike Kujbida] “And I guess it might affect render time and final size somewhat.”
I’ve never tried a mono render so I have no idea.”
Thanks for the links.. looks like good stuff.
It might interest you to know that when I tried setting for mono with the ac3 dialog it rejects and says DVD requires stereo only.
When I tried to get out of the dialog box it caused a full on crash. After telling me there had been an exception vegas disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Far as time goes its a little heftier than you’ve suggested.
Its been running 8.5 minutes and has 4 more to go according to the dialog. So no its not a major concern considering the video part was well over 2 hrs. If I still smoked I could of had a coffee and a smoke.. hehe. -
[Don Bloom] “Figure the bitrate based on the total time of the project using AC3 audio render (name both the same except for the extensions-IE mymovie.MPG,mymovie.AC3, open DVDA, drag into project prepare burn done!”
I guess I’m being your worst nightmare or pest…
Do you mean I have to render this out twice? I see no other way to accomplish what you suggest.
And concerning the bit rate: What does it mean to figure the bitrate according to the total time of project?
In the save dialog, after choosing AC3 and then `custom’
A number appears in the bit rate selection dialog `192′ is that a default? or something left over from previous settings?If it is a default, is there some reason for me to mess with it?
There is no reason for this kind of audio to be in stereo or at 48 khz. I see how to lower the sample rate but it appears there is no way to control stereo or mono.
It doesn’t really matter that its in stereo of course but just curious how I would set mono? And I guess it might affect render time and final size somewhat.

In the Project Media window of Vegas Studio Platinum 8 I’m missing the area where the file’s title is displayed. How do I get that back?
Thank you”In the media (right side) area, right click on an empty part.
Way down the dialog you’ll see `view’. There you can set what you want to see

[Don Bloom] “Well first do what Mike suggested then when using the snap tool the clips should snap head to tail. I don’t understand why they would disolve or overlap when using the sanp tool unless you have the preferences set to do something else.
The clips should just pop right into place.”Not to over do the thickness of skull factor but when you say
“when using the snap tool” do you mean something more than simply enabling it?About Mikes advice:
Sorry, I must have not had enough restarts or something in there because now, firing up on a new project I see it works head to tail, but enabling `snap tool’ apparently has nothing to do with it since it works with it disabled too. -
[Don Bloom] “you can use the SNAP tool-this will put the clips tail to head with no dissolve”
Don, Apparently I’m too dense to see how this works.
I’ve enabled the snap tool, then drag a group of *.mov files to timeline, the overlap still occurs just like before.Looking thru the help file about snap stool, the confusing mass of information about the tool, and `snapping’, I wasn’t able to figure out how to use this tool to prevent overlap.

[Mike Kujbida] “Options – Prefs – Editing
Deselect the “Automatically overlap multiple slected media when added” option.
No more overlaps :-)”Mike, When I looked there I see the option is already deselected
I vaguely recall having turned that off sometime long ago.
(I rarely use vegas)So this project was started with that deselected. What else will cause this annoying overlap?

> No more overlaps 🙂Easy when you know where to look…. thanks

> CTL+ALT+Left/Right arrow might be what you are looking for
Yes, thanks.
In the Help/index item called `shortcuts’ I did not see that maybe because they call the beginning of next or end of last clip an `event edit point’.
I always dread using the vegas help because the terminology is never what I expect and consequently I end up here or DMN for answers to really basic stuff.
