Hi again Stefano

Yes I use Cineform as intermediate – but have not experienced problems with this (yet!!).

Don’t give up on Vegas – report your problems to Sony Tech support. If you have a repeatable crash and you can provide them with as much info as possible I have found them to be very helpful. The issue with FX on Media and Event is something they are working on and if you report it too it may make a difference.

They promote the 3D editing heavily and I assume that they want to get it right – we can help them to do that.

Best wishes ‘H’

Hi Stefano

I agree – it’s a pain. So is the fact that you can’t apply Pan/Crop Left and Right individually, which would make it easy to create a floating window. Have you got an easy solution to make a 3D floating window?

To return to your problem – I also have a mirror rig and solve the colour balance problem in this way. First: I always do a white balance adjust on both cameras before shooting – this compensates quite a bit for one camera shooting through the mirror. Second: When adjusting the balance between Left Right images with the colour corrector I set the Preview window to left/right (half), full resolution and as large as possible. Then I run the colour corrector ONLY on the image that was shot through the glass while watching the result in the preview window – when it’s right I save it as a preset “Mirror rig correction”

I found it best to do this by shooting some footage of a test card that I printed with grayscale and all primary and secondary colours and making the colour adjustments with this.

Hope this helps!

O.T. Have you burnt a BluRay 3D from the timeline yet? I have a big problem with this – loses S3D adjustment at transitions between clips.

OK – this is not actually a whine (I love vegas for it’s 3D capabilities) but there seems to be a bug when rendering for 3D 24p. The REALLY big thing for 10d is that it can burn ‘proper’ 3D BluRay from the timeline – but there seem to be problems. See my recent post on this forum.

Take a copy in to them and show them it working. I recently met a VERY experienced film editor who was one of the first in the UK to use Avid – he watched me for a minute – then had a go with Vegas and was an instant covert!

Do the ones that work start with 0001? If so try naming the new ones EXACTLY the same as the old ones.

I had the same problem when bringing 3D image sequences in from Blender – it turned out to be because I had renamed the files left-0001, right_0001 etc. Try removing the “Test_” at the start and just leave the sequential numbers – it worked for me.

Don’t know if this will help – but I’ve had big problems rendering in 32 bit (8 bit fine every time) I reduced the number of rendering threads and it works! Guess I need more memory – will try that next and up the number of threads to see if it works.

Try closing down ALL other programs that are running – including windows explorer & anti-virus – but disconnect from the web! I had this problem with Vegas 10 and the above seems to have cured it! (Norton 360 can be made run in ‘quiet mode’ when Vegas is running – I imagine other anti-virus programs can do similar)
