JR, I think blu-ray does support 60p because it is a listed format in DVDA’s new project settings. Wikipedia also shows 720p60 (59.940) as a valid blu-ray format. But it is curious that there isn’t a Vegas template for this format. With Sony originating the blu-ray technology you would think SCS would be the first to fully support it.

JR, I have been trying without success to render 720p60 blu-ray. Here is what I’m doing, do you see anything wrong with my approach:
1. Shot 720p60 (59.940) in my Panasonic HMC150.
2. Rendered in Vegas 10c using Mainconcept mp2 HDV 720-30p template, but in custom set frame rate to 59.940. I rendered the audio as ac3.
3. Imported to DVDA 5.2, which tells me the video be recompressed. The audio is ok.Any suggestions how to eliminate the recompress?

>What you want to do is keep them flat at first and use Pan/Crop to line them all up so the image looks correct. Then use 3D Track Motion to push them back into 3D space and resize using 3D Track Motion to make them look like the original image. Once this is set up, if you move in using parent track motion, the images in the foreground should move faster than the ones in the background giving you a 3D parallax effect.
John I have used your suggestion for maintaing 3d parallax when pan/zooming a foreground and background clip. It has worked perfectly. Now I want to go one step further and so far I haven’t been able to figure out how. Perhaps you will have an idea.
I would like to separately control the zoom and pan portions of the 3d track motion. In the past I have done this by creating a null “zoom controller” and a null “pan controller” which are parent and grandparent to my target track. This allows me to precisely control pan and zoom separately for a flat child track, but not for the parent child arrangement you describe for maintaining parallax. Any ideas how to set up these separate null controllers AND maintain parallax across a set of child tracks in Vegas?

I recently created a clip in Proshow Producer of four photo effects I wanted to use in a Vegas slideshow. I separated each of the four with a few black frames. When I brought the clip into Vegas I loaded it into the trimmer, trimmed the first photo effect and added it to the timeline. I repeated this for the remaining three photo effects. The trimmer works well for this, where you are trying to fit into a predefined slot in the timeline. I would especially prefer to use the trimmer if I had many more than four photo effect segments to trim and insert.

I was able to fix my problem by reencoding to MP4 using AVC video and AAC audio.

Excuse me for butting in here but I was referred to this thread from the SCS Vegas forum. I have a related Xvid problem, except in my case Vegas 9e 32bit sees the video stream but not the audio stream. So I downloaded AVIdemux and reencoded the offending AVI using the settings JR presents. Now when I import the reencoded AVI and look at the properties I see under the General tab:
Video: Sony Motion JPEG
Audio: PCMBut when I look at the audio pulldown on the Media tab it says that the audio is offline. I still have no audio.
Any suggestions?

Create a new “controller” track at the top and make your 25 tracks children to the controller. Then use parent track motion in the controller track to control all 25 children.

JR, I sure didn’t realize Vegas upscaled then downscaled in that situation. I thought project settings were only used for optimizing the Vegas preview.
My question to SCS is, why? This pseudocode seems so umm…logical:
Do While Rendering
For each frame
If RenderToSize Not Equal to FrameSize
Rescale CurrentFrame to RenderToSize
END
END

John, maybe I can learn something new here. Why wouldn’t you keep the project at 1920×1080 and then render to 720p? IOW, I thought you always set your project properties to your source properties. Not so?
