Thanks for the testimonial Mike. This definitely sounds like the way to go. Especially on some projects of mine, that end up with a multiple of shorter videos. I just installed Frameserver, and it’s showing up in Renderassistant. If it works with this process, it will be awesome.

Very interesting. Looks like a bit of doing to setup, but I can already see that once it’s done, a lot of time could be saved down the road.
Thanks for the info!

Marco, thanks for the response. Sure enough, transcoding with Handbrake from the AVI yields a much sharper picture. Very close to the source preview. I wish I could get this quality right out of a Vegas MP4 render. Seems there may be no way around this extra step.

Hi John,
I have tried several themes, and cannot get the typical dark interface as with other apps. There is the high contrast black windows theme, but with blinding white text. I have even tried a third party theme tool, but forgot what it was called. It got close, but seemed to mess up other windows and break some menus.
If you have found a solution, I would love to know. I was even tempted by the Premiere CC trial, and the look was great. Turns out it is (or was) broken, and nowhere nearly as intuitive as Vegas.

Hmmm…. I wonder if the symptoms were the same as in my case. The file was imported from the internal system drive in my case. I have never quite figured out what to do about this, but would love to know a clear resolution.
An example of what I experience is below.

Just ran across this, and wow, was the “AAV 6 way colour corrector” a great find. I have tried a good number of free plugins, and have paid for others, and this one is a gem. You can probably do similar with the inbuilt plugins, but this one makes it so much easier. Thanks so much for this, and how awesome are these developers that give such gifts.

Just to kind of wrap this up on my part, I have made a couple of discoveries. First, I generated a three hour 48/16 WAV file with Audacity, and brought that into Vegas. No detectable problem. I also recorded nearly three hours on the Zoom in mp3 320. Playback on the Vegas timeline was fine.
In this case, the problem is not with Vegas, but clearly with the H4n. At least I can still record in mp3. I would much rather use WAV of course. Guess that will have to wait until I can replace the recorder.

Hey there Tony,
I should have clarified that I actually copied the file to my local hard drive. I tried both USB transfer, and pulling out the card and putting it in the reader, but I always edit with all media on the local hard drive.
I did another experiment with a recording of over 2 1/2 hours lone on the H4n in Mp3 320kbps. No problem at all for Vegas.

Antonio, as to your question, I used USB 2, both in a card reader, and direct connection to the H2n. Same problem. After the firmware update, I did some short recordings, and they came out fine. When I did a long recording, about two hours 45 in this latest test, the problem is back. The length of the wav recording has something to do with it. Whether the problem is Vegas, or the Zoom, is still unclear to me.
I’m going to do the same length recording in Mp3, and see if the results are the same. If I have to default to Mp3 recording, that would be a bit of a bummer. Even at 320, it’s still compressed.

Thanks for all the responses. I did pull the wav into Sound Forge. A very old version, but works fine for me. It too displays a periodic pattern on the waveform, but seems to be able to play it ok.
By the way, a pad was used, and no compression, limiting, lo cut, etc.

I did try outputting as AIFF, and the same results occurred. I did do the bios update (was 1.60 now 1.72) and so far have been unable to duplicate the problem. Just recording of a tablet with music and tones for test. The only other variable is that these were very long recordings, nearly three hours in length. Going to try this next just to see.
