good morning dear john and i thank you for your kind reply

yes, that’s what i thought about vegas

the version of vegas that i have is pro 8.0c build 260

i will try to convert my videos with the xilisoft ultimate v.6 video converter to a format that vegas can recognize

i assume that i have to keep the same video and audio bit rate as my original videos

thanks again

[Kathreen Anachioti]

i thank you dear steve for your answer

dear Dave i thank you very much for your kind answer

i still use the vegas 8 for a couple of years now and i am still happy

please, let me explain that the main reason i want to buy the blackmagic pocket cinema camera is for the exchangeable lenses it offer

my grand father have an extensive range of pentax k-mount and compatible pentax k mount lenses (prime, zoom, telefoto) and it is a good idea to use any of those lenses with the blackmagic camera

also, i am not interested at all in any hd video and i still use my little minidv sony dcr-hc62 with really good results

so, if i be able still use my vegas 8 with the footage from blackmagic pocket camera would be really nice

no, my pc is not so power, it is just a little celeron g530 with 4 gb ddr3 ram and a 250 hd wd hd

it’s performance is quite good on sd video renderings

thanks again

dear Phil Seymour i really thank you very much for your kind reply contest of which i have carefully noted

although, please let me explain that it is almost impossible to hire a true pro sound engineer since this video project is for a local charity club and no one of us who will participate in this project we get paid

i know that it is absolutely different to edit/master for video than with music cd

during the weekend i have talked with a friend who is freelance videographer and a member at the greek Independent cinematographer club and gave me some informations regarding sound level for video/film

yes, there are international standards for sound for film and video in both pal/ntsc analog/digital

from his experience nearly nobody follow those standards and everyone is free to record at whatever sound level likes but within the follow limits :

analog recording for video/film – max -5 db’s at vu meter (i assume that he refers to ppm meter)

digital recording max sound level -15 to -8db’s (dbfs) max

maximizer plugin can be used to give a louder loudness within -15 to -8 db’s as output ceiling

if i stay within the above limits then the pressing plant that will made the final dvd mass production will arrange for any inconvinieces if any

please, you can check my soundtrack

thanks again

dear Colin Morris, good afternoon and i really thank you ery much for your kind reply contest of which i have carefully noted

please, i wish to explain that it is almost impossible to hire a pro sound engineer to take care about my music for film since the production is for a local charity club and i will not get any money from those people, further more the final dvd(blank media, art work and mass production) will be carried out by someone else without any paying

i really don’t know if i can post live link to my music and please if this is not allowed by the forum rules please delete the link

https://soundcloud.com/someone-cy/forever-young

please, if you listen to the music you will have a better idea of what i am trying to do

the complete soundtrack is not yet finished but i have uploaded a demo just an hour ago

many thanks again for your advice

dear Phil Seymouri thank you for your kind reply

thanks for your advice for the vasst plugin but i have all ready

finalis (elemental audio) for sound maximizer and the ultra maximizer + from waves (old version 2008)

i will try to record my sound for videos at -7 to -3 db’s (dbfs) to see what will be happened and we will talk again

i have noticed that commercial dvd’s have a maximum sound level of -17 to -12 db’s which i quite low i think

thanks

[Kathreen Anachioti]

dear Colin Morris i thank you for your kind reply

thanks for your advice but i am working by myself for all my music productions since i have started doing this about seven years ago

i know that sound edit for video is very different than with music so that’s why i have asked from the forum some help and guidance

as for the vst plugins i have all ready have finalis for sound maximizer and l ultra maximizer + from waves (old version 2008)

i will try to record my sound for video at -7 to -3 db’s to see and we will talk again

thanks
