Hi,
Help us troubleshooting.
What kind footages did you use?
Project settings?
What’s the answer, that you mention works for everyone but not for you?
Which build of Vegas14 did you try to work on?
Did you use some 3rd party effects (I mean Boris, Mercally etc…), or just sock builtin effects (like color correction/curves/blurs. etc…)?

Best regards

Hi Jim,

[Jim Murphy] “(actually I had 4 of them other the years; there was a time when it was cheaper to buy the R220 with ink than it was to buy the ink alone!!)”

If you buy a new printer, the ink tanks are never filled with the smae amount of ink, they contain only the half or 1/3 of the cartridges you buy separately afterwards.

For graphics work I use my outdated Photoshop CS2.
I can provide you a .psd with the “empty” disc, if you want me to. ☺
If you print just a few discs a month, say 5.10 you are probably OK with Canon ink.
If your printing demand is closer to the range say, 50..100 a month, I’d go for refillable cartridges.
Canon inks tend to be too expensive. Just avoid EZprint, that ink results washed colors, and in few months will kills the printhead. Orink is much better, but I found a guy over here, who has his own recipe for the ink’s, the colors are very close to the original Canon inks, but the price is 1/100, and he also guarantees that those inks won’t kill the printhead… I buy my inks from him for years, and I never regret.
I may ask him if he can ship to other countries – again, if you want me to…

Best regards

Hi George,

How fast does that Epson print for you? Last time when I had to look for another printer (I change my Canon every 1,5..2 years because it simply wears out) I considered EPSON L850, which looked a great printer.
But when we tried it – the salesman in the shop had a demo printer ready to use. The print quality on paper was definiteley far superior to what my Canon can do, but it took forever to print a disc, so that I didn’t choose it. I got the Canon again 🙂

Best regards

Hi
I use a Canon IP7250, but with continous ink supply system.
The print quality is very good both for disks and covers.
The device is capable to print approx. 7000 discs with covers, then variuos problems appear.
This printer “hacked” with a CISS costs about 100€, then the inks consumed for the 7000 discs + covers add up another 140..150€, but this is dependent on the printed designs. I print colorful, dark discs, covers. The printing speed is quicker, than the burning speed of my 2 burners, so I’m limited to approx 16 discs/hour by my burners, not the printer.
If you are looking for an affordable printing solution, the IP7250 is the best, I think.
(I’m using the 3rd of it now -as I have to buy a new one every ~7000 disc-, did not find a better since…)
So, the printing is almost free (0.03..0.04€ / disc), the CISS has the drawback, that you have to use it every week, otherwise some clogging may arise.

Well, you could take solid white, than create the line with cropping that solid white using bezier mask.
Then animate that mask using keyframes.
That could work, if you have huge lot of time and patience.
Graham is right, this is not something to do in Vegas.

I never had a camera with passthrough, so I was totally unsure that this setting will help you ☺
…but had my HVR-V1 for years with which I captured lot’s of tapes, including DV tapes, and had (still have) my ADVC-55 wich didn’t work with device control enabled…

I’m really glad we could help! ☺

Hi,
For me there was a setting “enable device control” in Vidcap.
Having it enabled was much easyer to capture from dv tapes, but it was required to disable to capture analog through my advc55., otherwise it didn’t work at all.
May be you could try disable it too, when you want to use the “passthrough”?

Hi,

there can be a workaround, you can try if it works for you.
Simply ungroup and split the audio, change the level, and do a crossfade.
The length of the crossfade will be the “slope” if I understand right what you need.

Here’s a quick example what I mean:

Not so flexible as the volume envelope, but if it’s only about to temporary lower the volume of the speach/music it’s quite quick and comfortable to do so 🙂
