Thanks!
Just another q.
Does the 3ccd worth the extra (about 30%) price?
May be anyone using nvgs320: how are you satisfied with it?
TIA

Hi,
I love color corrector.
Gain, Offset is essentially the same as brightness/contrast,
and you can play with gamma too.By(t)e

Hi,
Either use a filmscanner (quite expensive, but gives the best quality) or project the film, and shoot it with your camcorder.
If you don’t have / can’t afford a film scanner:
I project the film on a piece of white paper (size of A3).
Before you start, set up your camera, so that the focus,
exposure, white balance are set properly MANUALLY.How this is done:
I start the projector without a film, set its focus approximately
by viewing the edges of the bright area.Based on the bright area, I set up the camcorders
whitebalance, and exposure setting.
Set shutter speed set to the lowest available. (1/50 sec or
1/60 if you live in an NTSC country)
For setting the focus you can put a thing into the bright
area, a pencil for.e.g., lean it right jus against the paper you
are projecting to.
Of course you’ll remove it after setting up is done 🙂Don’t use autofocus, auto-anything your camcorder has.
Having the film in the projector you can set up the projectors focus
correctly.
Start the projectors speed from zero, and increase it to the minimum,
that does not cause flicker (you can see on camcorders viewfinder or lcd), that makes sure you take every frame of the film.After everything is fine, rewind the film and start againg,
now starting the camcorder too.Later, whe you have captured the film-video, you can restore the correct speed in vegas, you can apply color-correct if necessary.
Look for old ragtime music (such as Scott Joplin’s Maple Leaf Rag, The Entertainer, etc.) and use it as audio 😉
That fits very good for old 8mm films. 😉

Of course it makes sense…
In the options/preferences/edit you can set up the amount of
automatical overlap.
Drag then your slides to the timeline, then use the selection edit tool to select all of the images.
After that drag the transition, which will be applied to all selected events.This is one way I know (and I did) but -as always in Vegas- there may be other ways of doing this.
Hope I could help.

[Mike Kujbida] “Aother suggestion is to double the text size and there will be a difference in the final quality.
This is done in the size boxes in the Text Event FX box.”I agree, but also disagree this.
As I mentioned, create the text with a size that is aproppriate for the maximum zoom you plan. So the double size may be good, may be overkill, or may not be enough.
Depends on your zoom level 😉By(t)e

[joe123] “The way I zoom was to have in the starting keyframe text size which I set up its properties -> scale to 0.4 and ending keyframe text with scale of 2.2.”
No, no!
Wrong way!Do it by pan/crop or trackmotion.
Hope I could help.

Question back:
what was your render settings, text size?I’v seen similar phenomenon zooming text on the preview window,
when preview was set to draft.How did you this text zoom?
Don’t keyframe fontsize!The way I do it:
1. create the text with a fonsize big enough for the maximum zoomin.
2. zoom it out with pan/crop
3. keyframe pan/crop to zoom it in at the desired speedInstead of pan/crop you could use trackmotion too…
Vegas is surely able to do that smoothly for you.
Take a look at
https://www.kovacslt.fw.hu/videos/hun-bphires.wmvat 00:35..00:39 there’s a semi-transparent text zoom,
quite smooth I think…😉

Hi,
Check out Particle Illusion, I bet that it’s capable of doing
that effect for you.

Hi,
what about “end action” of clip11?

Hi,
nothing to loose.
I guess you’re using the vegas capture, assuming you do so,
setting the video to “microsoft dv-vcr” is just something like selecting an input device.This is the way you have to do it until you remove that other capture device.
