Hi John:

Thanks for the response. I saw a similar topic to this that your replied on but I scanned over it by confusing the topic with PAL and PAR thinking it didn’t apply to me. I’m using 1400 x 1050 for Camtasia so I can get most of the screen real estate without scrolling and panning and zooming.

So… 1400 x 1050 should be set to 700 x 525 in Camtasia and Vegas (square pixels)? It looks okay rendered on my PC. Waiting on YouTube

Great confirmation John. I suppose my recent notes were wrong in so far as project properties and rendering properties. I think I was stuck on “matching all properties, unaltered” that included the rendering process. So in my case it looks like the following scenario works better for achieving better quality on playback using a standard definition source:

I’ve seen this discussed over and over again so I apologize for the repetition. I’d really like to get past this. It doesn’t create a letterbox per se, more of a rectangle…

I just saw this. Thanks John.

I played with it a little. Probably the reason why I get such a deep background voice sound when played on a stereo TV. I haven’t tested it yet.

Ah, ha. I never saw that. Seems the default setting on Vegas hides it until the window is dragged to enlarge. Thanks for that screen shot. It did the trick!!

Oh yikes another gizmo appears. Sound mapper. No need to reply on that.

I’ll have to study more into this when I’m faced with the situation. But, I just played around with it and it happens when I go back to a project after saving and closing Vegas. I experimented with this six times and each time a new audio track was inserted. The only solution I have is moving the recent audio to the main track used for voiceovers then delete all the extra tracks that were created. In the past I had difficulties getting/moving all voice overs on to the same audio track. Almost as if something was “locked.”

I known this is an old thread but spending the past few hours here has unearthed some real jewels. Not to mention the contributions!

John:

Are you saying there’s no way to limit the number of audio tracks? Oh, maybe this is different from the above poster. My problem or annoyance is when I do numerous voice-overs Vegas keeps inserting more and more audio tracks making the timeline harder to work with. I haven’t found an easy work around to this, but I haven’t tinkered with it for awhile.

Clues?

Anyone try this from a free trial of the Vegas 11? I have Pro 8 looking to upgrade. I’ve downloaded it but it prompts me for a seriel number. I’ll see if they respond from their Facebook page unless anyone here has experience.
