Thanks for the quick responses
I capture to native DV. I render to standard AVI dv. I always render to my projects to dv before i mpeg them. I have noticed that when i put a .veg project into another project it seems to lose something as well.
As far as the motion button at the end or the track, when you put your cursor on it it says “bypass motion blur” so i was under the impression it was always on and i should push this button to in effect bypass the blur setting. By the way i have never pushed the button and rendered i was just grabbing at straws i guess thinking this may be a cause.
What setting do you guys use in preferences an setup?

Thanks for the heads up. These approaches should definitely get me started.

Thanks guys for the informative reponses. I did find the detailed answer on this site after i posted. I have another question now. Since my system is 32bit and i’ll have to through away 2 512 sticks of ram and replace with 2 1 gig sticks to get to 4 gigs…is it worth it. AE only uses 2 gigs where will my return come from.
Also give me a heads up on a good graphics card that would meet AE’s minimum standard for true opengl. I need to speed up the previewing.
I’m seriously thinking bout purchasing a Mac.
Thanks

This has been an extremly helpful post exchange. I printed this one out for the archive. Nice.

Yes…that exactly what i’m hoping for in Vegas 7. In my opinion thats the only thing that keeps Vegas from being the strongest editing piece out there.

Thanks Dan, those thing I can do. Doing video work for a fashion show. Just trying to think a bit out of the box.

I have been asked to provide sound FX for a public event. I generally do video but i did this once before. I built a mouseover graphic board on my laptop and tied it into the facilities system. It worked but that was 2 years ago. I was wondering if any of you guys do this sort of thing and what you are using and whatever professional advice you might offer.

Thanks for the advice. I use an excellent Sony external mic with cord attached to the camera. The mic was set-up on a table just under the speaker. The audio is not bad. Is there some sound processing that you know of that might help with some of the echoing.

I may not be giving you all the info you need. I was trying to keep it brief. I rendered a clip in Adobe After Effects. I made a quicktime with alpha uncompressed. I use Vegas to put my clips together and it does fine.
The question is when i play the clip just by itself…on one machine its drags badly while it plays smoothly on the other. same operating system and same player. I dont have a problem with vegas and the clip. I thought i had a bad render until i tried the clip on the other machine and it played fine. As best i can tell i have the same codec package mirrored on each machine.
Hey BTW thanks for everyone’s advice. This is the best resource i’ve ever seen on the net.

I actually rendered it Quicktime with alpha uncompressed. Its a box spining and i’ll add a background in vegas. The processor is true AMD not semptron. But if i were to add something what might you target…video card, processor or….
