It was done in Camtasia 7. It plays fine from the timeline it just keeps failing during rendering for some reason. I also tried AVI and it gave a “maximum size” error for a 7 minute video.

Trying WMV next…

Yeah, I had to move the Altiverb DLL but…. obviously, I paid a lot of money for that verb so I do actually want to use it in Vegas.

I’m stumped. It loads in all of my audio DAWs but it hangs Vegas.

Seems like a hassle when you can just use ProType and color the word?

Just as another general matter, peak meters have little to do with loudness. There are many ways to raise the average level of your soundtrack mixes, make them louder, but they “can” be damaging to the overall sound if done incorrectly.

Anyway, peak meters don’t tell you much more than how much room you have before digital clipping. Vegas, oddly enough having started as an audio app, doesn’t seem to have RMS meters but you can use a third party plug-in on the master for that.

Here’s a free one… https://www.sonalksis.com/freeg.htm

Seems to me that FCP is a more complete overall system and it’s certainly more widely used in the TV. Some of the videos of it’s uses are nice… and relatively speaking you don’t see that kind of user for Vegas being shown on the Sony site.

But most of us aren’t (are we?) shooting and editing network TV shows so the comparison (imo) isn’t really a valid one. FCP is a pretty well integrated system though.

I imagine if you had the same cameras the video would look the same.

Not that it matters (nor do I have any FCP experience) but I actually do run Vegas on my Mac. Obviously, if you dislike the Win OS you dislike the Win OS. But since Mac went Intel Bootcamp, obviously the root machine platform is no longer an impediment that way.

Thanks guys.

CTL+Size. You can also adjust the pitch in properties I think.

That’s what I do. Make a solid color, crop it vertically, move it down with the arrow keys (track motion) add some transparency and put text over it on another track.

Here’s one I did for a demo with some animations on the overlay.

Thank you sir.

Sorry Mark. I’m a bit of a video noob (compared to you guys) and I didn’t recognize that card as being an NVIDIA though I should have assumed so. Another example of “think or investigate before speaking”. 🙂

Thanks.
