[Scott Witthaus] “I didn’t know you can do this in X. How?”

Right-click on the clip in the browser and select Open in Timeline, add any FX you want and then close that timeline. The clip in the browser will show the change and anytime forward when you drop that clip into your storyline it will also have that correction applied.

It was just a guess on my part based on the fact that Vegas thought it was an invalid project. Since Vegas Pro 13 was released in 2014, it may very well be that it cannot open a project from PPro 2015. Again just a guess.

I also wouldn’t expect much even when it does work. All you will get are video files on a timeline with cuts and fades. That’s it! None of the FX will be there. None of the generated media like titles will be there. Any retiming won’t convert over. It’s extremely minimal what you get.

I’m not sure what you thought you were going to do to help your friend but it’s not likely you can do much more than a rough cut unless you were going to finish their rough cut. So it may not give you what you want anyway.

[Steve Rhoden] “New Vegas Creative Software website up folks.”

Yea, well… it’s not very easy to navigate.

Has anyone figured out where to Download Vegas Pro?

I can’t find the downloads page anywhere.

[Francois Pénzes] “Exception Message: Invalid project.”

I’m going to guess that he might be using a newer version of Premiere Pro than Vegas Prop 13.0 (which is 2 years old now) supports.

[Jon Hensen] “Think there is any recourse to troubleshoot, or am I stuck with defunct hardware?”

You are not stuck. Take it to an Apple Store and they will fix it for you. You may even be able to mail it to them. They have refurbish program where for $250 USD they will take your MacBook Pro and completely refurbish it fixing anything that is wrong. It takes about a week. It may even be free if it’s part of a recall.

I just had them do it for a MacBook Pro that I had where the screen was showing strange lines. They gave me a new display, the hard drive showed errors so they replaced it with a new one, the bottom had a rubber foot missing and was scratched so they replaced that too, there was a bad memory chip so that got replaced, …overall they made 5 repairs, it came back looking and working like new and it only cost $250 USD. Well worth the money to me.

What software is your friend editing with? Final Cut Pro X can do a lot more with a lot less hardware than Premiere Pro can.

I would ask this question on the relevant forum for a more accurate answer. Here are the links:

Final Cut Pro X
Adobe Premiere Pro
Avid Media Composer

[Amanda Duffield] “do I need other software? …(although i’m sure it’s the apple products I’m having trouble with)”

This is really very simple… get a Mac. Seriously, all you need to do is get a Mac with iMovie or Final Cut Pro X and their videos will play back beautifully. If you are working with iPhone videos that’s what I would do (…actually that’s what I did. I use a Mac now and don’t have any of these problems anymore). If you are using Apple products (iPad, iPhone) it’s best to edit on Apple hardware and software.

I buy all of my video gear from B&H Photo. They are at every NAB show and are well respected in the industry and have great prices and fast shipping.

As a member of the Creative COW you should support those merchants that make it possible for you to have this forum for free. B&H Photo is not only one of the best merchants you will encounter, but they are also a supporter of the Creative COW and as such, you should show your gratitude by giving them your business.

[Areal Nayme] “I was told, would just process one after another. But, I’m not seeing how it does this….”

1. On the Source Media tab, Add all of your veg files to the list
2. On the Processing tab, Select (none) as the preset and set Options to: Process each file individually. It’s important that you set this correctly or else it will not process each file in succession.
3. On the Target Outout tab, Select your Output location and Output formats
4. Press Process

Production Assistant will process each veg file individually by rendering to all of the output formats you selected.
