[Peter Wright] “Now, regarding rendering times – these are almost certainly caused by the fact that you are using an unusual format for both source and output – possibly there needs to be decompression and recompression in this process. Others may know more about this, so feel free to sdd comments …..”
It’s just a video compressed in PicVideo M-JPEG 3 … decompressing MJPEG videos are really fast… if you ask me..

[jeditdv] “And it’s really possible in Vegas too. As Peter said, there’s a readout showing you exactly how long a transition is. You can also fine tune the length by moving the event using the 1 or 3 keys on the numberpad (which will move the event one frame at a time). However, the best solution may be to use a script. With a script, you could actually have it pop up a box, accept a timecode, and then move the event so that it overlaps the previous event by that specific amount.”
Where can I find that script? Also the loading time for Vegas 6 is so slow…

[Peter Wright] “Hi Juan. You may find it confusing if you are not familiar, but Vegas has always had the simplest method of any for applying transitions:
Place two video events on the same track … drag one so that it overlaps the other. You have created a crossfade which lasts for the duration of the overlap. To make it longer, overlap more.
To change this crossfade to another transition, select a transition from the Transitions tab and drop it on the overlap.
To respond to your comment regarding rendering time, we need more information about the factors which may make rendering faster or slower …
e.g.
What format is your material?
What format are you rendering to?
What are your project settings?
Which effects have you applied?
What specification is your computer?If, for instance, your material is standard DV, your project settings are standard DV and you are outputting DV, and no effects or titles etc are applied, there should be no video rendering necessary.

[Mark Moss] “I just encountered the capture problem as well. The great people of this forum instructed me to download 6.0B to take care of the capture problem. It worked beautifully. You may be having the same problem that I had. Go to the website and download 6.0b and see if that makes your capture problem go away.

[Harold Brown] “I suggest that you review the manual, throw some video on the time line and experiment. Then come back here after a week or so and ask some questions based on at least a few days of working with the product.”
I tried it… that is why I figured out that rendering is really slow.

[serge] “You don’t even need AE for this as any NLE would do. What you need to do is to lock your camera, shoot “me” left then “me” right, make sure that there is a tiny neutral space between the two shots. If you want to use a compositing program for any reason then all those you mentioned will do the trick using a simple mask.”
I see… because on some frames, I need to ajust the mask manually, something like a free-form mask…

I have finished trying the mask thing on Combustion. Everything is a success but there is no audio… and it’s sooo slow to import an AVI movie clip… I tried to install After Effects… the composing interface is a little similar to Combustion. I tried to use Masking thing in After Effects… I can’t believe I can only do a Circle and a Rectangle mask! And After Effects is soooo confusing! I don’t know what to do! Help?

[Matt Silverman] “Combustion and After Effects are both primarily compositors. Commotion is primarily a rotoscoping tool designed to cut mattes/masks and paint. After Effects’ masking tools are really weak compared to commotion. Combustion4 has new b-splines like Commotion, but I haven’t checked it out yet. If I had to do this shot, I would cut the mattes in a roto tool like Commotion, Curious gFx or Silhouette Roto, then comp the shot in After Effects. Commotion is a dead product. gFx is in Limbo since Adobe acquired the technology. Silhouette is actively being developed and just announced a new version and paint is on the way.
-Matt”
Thank you for replying… and what’s Curious gFX, Shilhoutte Roto? And i’m having difficulties using AfterEffects… so confusing…

Wonderful resource!

I suggest using Combustion 4 or Ultimatte. You will be amazed with Combustion 4‘s Diamond Keyer, the 2nd Generation keyer…
