Great. I’ve just been to Mylenium’s site and he does, in fact, have a line graph tutorial. I’ll be taking a look. Thanks to all for your suggestions.

Thanks, Steve. Appreciate the help. Hmmmm…don’t think this project can afford the $495. But thanks for pointing out the site. I’ll go to work the manual way, as you suggested.

Cheers,

Lee

Thanks, Mike. Yes, we will have shutter control. I thought that might take care of it but I just thought I would check to see if I was missing something. Thanks for the tip on the lights, too.

Hi..

It’s actually not the scarf transitions that I was interested in — although I did like that. There are some other edits in the piece that were well done and I wanted to study a bit how they shot then.

I don’t know the answer to your question but I can offer this: If you decide to get PowerPoint, it has a “Save” function, just like any other program. When you have a PPT presentaton active and select File>Save, it will ask you if you want to save just one slide or the entire set. And it will also give you the option of saving them in other formats, e.g. jpegs. You can select such a file that will allow you to import to Vegas. Beware: some PPT slides import very nicely to video but some, because of tiny text or thin horizontal lines or violation of NTSC colors or title safe, etc. might require you to take your exported files into Photoshop to “adjust” them.

Good luck.

Hi Jerry,
Well, you’re ahead of me on experience as I just got started with HDV. What looks wierd on that workflow? The fact that a direct-from-Vegas rendering to HD wmv isn’t as good as going through an interim rendering to get to ProCoder? I went that route because I always get somewhat better results from ProCoder than from Vegas. (I almost always render out an .avi from Vegas to take into Procoder to create SD wmv, Quicktime, etc.) Is it more common, in your experience, to render the final product right out of Vegas?

[Lee Mceachern]

Thanks Lynn. That’s pretty much the conclusion that my tests here have led me to. I appreciate the words of experience.

cheers,

Lee

How fast is that processor? I’d be interested in that but I’m mainly interested in advice on delivery medium for HDV-sourced material. I have clients who would want to project material on a large screen during major shows so I want to be able to give them something that will look great and that they can play.

Thanks Jeremy. I would guess — nothing other than a guess — that you’re right. That seems to be the next logical step.

Regards,

Lee
