    February 1, 2008 at 6:25 pm in reply to: 64-bit version and Vegas 8 the same?

    I should have made it clear that I am running the x86 32bit version. Sorry.
    The only place I can think that the 64 bit version should make a difference is in a hi-en rendering event. I have 4GB RAM and a very fast graphics card.
    It all works a heck of a lot faster than i can work.

    Sony will get there eventually.

    Jerry,

    Did you get your Vegas 8 to install and run on XP Pro 64?
    I installed on my Intel 64 w/o any issues.
    It must install into the Program files (x64) directory on system drive.

    In fact, I have not found any software that failed to install or operate.
    I am running the latest SP and all updates.

    Let me know if i can help.

  • I bought about a half a bolt of black felt-like cloth from a fabric store. It sucks up light big time. As this thread has suggested, I will move it further back and get an even blacker background.

    Thanks Ed.

    292 hours or minutes on a 500GB drive. Hmmm…
    What’s really amazing is that this new 500GB SATA drive only cost $100. Damn near free!

    Another way is to use MS MovieMaker (ugh!) as the capture software. Make sure you choose the AVI format. This only works with a Firewire 1384 connection.
    Save as DV NTSC AVI.

    Ugly, but it works.

    I didn’t make the video. If that is the best mpeg-2 put out it is pretty sucky.
    I expect that the camera was pretty cheap as it blurred out on every shot that had motion in it.
    The video was of motorcycles on a track. Camera guy was not very good and was always setup in the wrong position.

    BTW: if you want to convert formats download ffmpeg from Internet. It will convert anything to anything. It is command line (DOS) and take a while to get the commands right but works great. Do a Google on ffmpeg. You will find the Windows version and manual.

    What is the format on the mini dvd from your cam?
    I have small project that provided me with a wmv file. The resolution is not very good. Anything with motion is very blurry.
    I just wondered if the mini-dvd cams allowed other formats, like AVI.

    Allen,
    I figured it out! My main problem was that I don’t know Vegas well enough to know what commands I would use the most.
    But, I’ve been using the Trimmer and the main keystrokes I use are the I(n) O(ut) and A(dd).
    So now, my buttons 2-3-4 are set for I O A.
    #1 is single mouse-click.
    It just works.
    I think I can expand it a bit for other keystroke commands using the Ctrl, ALT, Shift and combinations thereof.
    i no longer even need the JKL sequence as the shuttle does it.
    ciao,
    ken

    This just in:
    As I try to use the Trimmer for all edits,
    does it make sense for me to program buttons 2-3-4 for the Trimmer? I would want I (In) O (out) A (add)
    Does the keystroke need a spacial character.
    And, it feels like a Monday, again!

    Allen,
    Sorry to bother you but could you tell me what actions you have your main 5 buttons set to on your Shuttle?
    I’m all set on the shuttle wheel.
    I have buttons 1 thru 5 to set up.
    Thanks,
    kaw
