[Roger Bansemer] ” I’m using Vegas pro 12 and when I apply the LUT absolutely nothing happens”
As has been mentioned here and elsewhere, Pro 12 doesn’t support the use of LUTs. You’ll have to upgrade to Pro 13 to be able to use them.

You’re very welcome Slavoljub. I’m always glad to help.
Have a merry Christmas! -
Try View – Window Layouts – Default Layout

Glad I could help 🙂

The easiest way to look for duplicate files is to change the listing in the Project Media tab to Detail View and look in the Use Count column. This will tell you how many times a specific event has been used and where it was used.
If you want to paste everything into Word or Excel, make sure you select Detail View in the Project Media tab.
To select everything, click the top left button (above the column number list and to the far left of Name. Doing this highlights everything in there.
Do a Ctrl+C to copy all of it.
Open a new blank document in Word or Excel and do a Ctrl+V to paste everything.
Customize as needed.
Does that do what you need? -
Roger, I have no idea if this will help or not but I just came across these videos a very short time ago.
Um…What’s a LUT? Here’s a Great Primer on What They Are & How to Use Them -
I have no idea how large of an MPEG-2 bit rate file Vegas will accept before it starts choking. On my previous computer, a very high bit rate file choked it completely. The new one handles them much better.
All I can suggest is to try a test with a few different settings and decide what works best for you.
If it was me, I’d render to AVI. Vegas handles that file type easily and the quality should, in theory, be better than MPEG-2. -
Apologies for the misunderstanding Rick.
A quick check of the ProShow Gold site says that a “DVD video disc” is one of their output formats.
I’ve never used this software before. Does this mean that it will make a DVD for you? If yes, then I’d use that option.
If not, then I’d render to AVI and bring that into Vegas to create my DVD files and use DVDA for authoring.
I wish I could be of more help but, as I said, I’ve never used that software so I’m going but what I read online.
Good luck. -
My rule of thumb is to never go over a constant bitrate of 8,000,000 for a DVD. This assumes that you’re using AC-3 for your audio.
If the project is under 70 min. long, I use a custom CBR (constant bit rate) of 8,000,000. Create this and save it as a preset.
Anything longer and I use a bitrate calculator to determine optimum settings.
Here’s a link to my preferred bitrate calculator.
I make a few changes to the default settings by clicking the Settings button (lower left) on the main screen.
Click 1 Kilobit = 1000 bits.
Set the Default Audio Encoding to 192 Kb/s (this is the default for Vegas AC-3 audio encodes).
Change the Safety Margin from 1% to 5% (I like to give myself a bit of extra room). -
Glad to hear that Pete. Only the computer gremlins know why it wouldn’t work for you originally 🙂
