I think any SD Cards that are Class 10 or more should be great because it helps with the speed of the SD card while its recording! Anything Sandisk branded is what I truly recommend, can go up to 1-2TB of storage so it all depends on what kind of video productions you plan to use. Many YouTubers like myself has some insights on the best SD Cards…

Not sure if AI has the capability yet to automatically but I imagine with time, there could be tools coming out that can handle this but it cannot automatically search where all the dots are and put an ultra key on it, thats something as Ivan said earlier, you will need to apply that. You can do it faster than the AI could at this point of time…

Hello David, I saw you also posted in the Vegas forums when I looked this issue up: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/frames-vs-absolute-frames–147876/ Not sure if you show the answers there.

With my answers, would have love to see some images of what you are explaining about so I know more visually on how you can view the exact…

Usually when I have a corrupted file on Photoshop and Sony Vegas, they would automatically backup a restored saved project. Not sure if you made sure of that, if not, then I would suggest trying what the other guy told you and going forward, you should try to save a 2nd backup file in another file location just incase one of them is corrupted. So…

I am very glad I was able to help then! 🙂 Best of luck with the future use of it! 🙂

So you are essentially looking for plugins from Adobe After Effects that you can utilize in Vegas PRO to include it in a video right? I personally don’t really use it but there are many options for them you can choose from I imagine.

Perhaps this video I found for the callouts and how they work can give you some ideas on what kind of callouts you…

I found someone on the Adobe forums that seems to have a similiar problem to you and it seems that on Mac, it seems to barely support MP4 formats.

Thanks for your response. Perhaps if there is a way to record a video clip of you present the problem of you running it on Mac, I can try to research better on why this is going on. I pretty much always use Photoshop on PC at all time and do not work with MP4 videos on Photoshop, but on Vegas PRO or Premiere Pro. Hope to hear from you soon! 🙂

Hello Joe! I see you asked this same question on VCS forums and Reddit too so I will answer a bit differently from the rest. So from what I have research, there does not seem to be a codec particular for Vegas 18 PRO to be able to play these videos. I would suggest converting your VP61 videos to AVI, MP4 or MOV format so at least you can use these…

Not sure whats going on here exactly but it seems to me that when you render a video at 25 fps, it may appear as lower when actually playing it. After all, its kinda like when you have 500 GB of External Drive storage and only 460 something GB is usable since the other 40GB or so runs the system behind it, like if Windows is preinstalled in a…

Would be nice to show a screenshot of two on what the issues looks like but that glitch could be temporary. Try closing Vegas Pro, ending the process in Task Manager and then reopen it if it still glitches. If that does not work, try restarting the computer and try again. If that does not work, the last thing to try is uninstalling and…

Hello Eric, sorry to hear the sound did not registered on your silent video.

If there is a way you can screenshot the timestamp showing up in the top left corner of the video so I can visually see it, it can help me figure out how to get rid of it. Is it part of a video clip in the timeline above the main video?

For the captions, you can play around…

From what it looks like to me, it seems like a missing critical file on your Vegas PRO folder. If you are unable to locate the file through the search, I would suggest you try uninstalling your Vegas PRO and reinstalling the whole application again to see if you are able to get those files back in the proper location so you can use the text… Read more

Perhaps if you can show me a video on your attempt on it, I can probably get a better idea on how you can get started with it. 🙂

Hey Andris! To answer your question, it does not seem you need a special plug-in in order to sentence mix on Vegas Pro. I found a tutorial online that I watched of a straight forward way to do this. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvB4wr_U_Gw

Since its related to YTP, this can probably give you an idea on what you can do for… Read more

Hello Adam!

I do not think its an issue on your laptop at all, what I believe could be causing this issue is probably a missing codec that helps you run MP4 properly. I personally have not really run MP4 files on my Adobe Photoshop since its mainly a photo editing app and I deal with MP4 on Vegas Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro.

I was looking up… Read more

First of all, I think you meant to say “LUT” in all the LUDs that you mentioned earlier in the question if I am not mistaken cause I could not find info on LUDs in Photoshop at all. When I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AXhwgwBAa8

It seems you can create individual Color Lookup layers each with their own LUT/CUBE file and you… Read more

Hey Jared! I found this link that explains in details solutions for the issue very similiar to yours here: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/video-event-fx-window-cut-off–119819/

There are some tips on how to reset to default settings the FX views so hopefully this will help you fix the problem! Good luck! 🙂

Sweet! Glad you were able to figure out afterwards! Yeah you can check and uncheck layers too if you choose to have them visible or not.

Does the borders still show up when you are clicking another layer in photoshop? Usually in my case, this border mainly comes out when you press the CTRL+T command but usually clicking another layer would deselect it and the selective border issue disappears. Also did you tried simply clicking on the layer at the location where it is before it has… Read more

Its okay, always happy to help if needed! 🙂

Usually in order to merge all those audio clips into one would be to render the whole video alongside the audio clips included in the timeline. Then pass the rendered video back to Sony Vegas in a new timeline for example and there, you will have just one audio clip that was combined from several of them into one after rendering. Hopefully that… Read more

Perhaps if I can see a video clip of how it is happening, I can offer you better assistence on how to fix this issue. Are you trying to make a vertical style video like the YouTube shorts and such? You may want to check the scaling limits and see if you and scale out the image to see the whole thing. Hope to hear back from you soon.

It looks like you are looking to edit videos in 4K resolution and your Sony A7 IV also supports from 4K to 7K so I believe the settings looks pretty good for it. What are the specs of your computer? I think if you have at least 8 of RAM for offline editing or 32GB of RAM for online editing on your computer, it should render 4K no problem.

Hello! I believe with the CPU and GPU that you mentioned there, it should be able to run Vegas Pro 22 no problem. If you wish to know more information, here is the link for more information on the specs requirements for Vegas Pro 22: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/product-comparison/

Okay! Glad that you found a way to make it work again! 🙂

Not sure what lossles means so if you can explain that, it would be good. I believe I have also rendered videos of 1920x1080p before as well in Premiere Pro. I just upload that video on YouTube afterwards but I am sure if you render it to MP4 or MOV, you can send that render over to Sony Vegas afterwards if anything.

For the first time doing it, at least it seems you did a good job tracking the image using a lot of keyframes to do so. However my theory of why perhaps the image in front of the rectangular shape is not fully working is because its possible you may have to line the images in accordance to the movements of the keyframes that you have set up cause… Read more

I would say that the best format I use for Vegas Pro since I edit videos there all the time are between .MOV and .MP4 formats via 59-60fps and 1080p format. Not sure if you are looking for higher quality than that. I looked up this link right here:…

From what I am reading, there seems to be a huge concern on your creations from the Adobe Applications you use, including Photoshop can be used for AI generated purposes without your approval and knowledge.

So you are trying to convert the MP4 video that you received to a H.264 MOV format for export? From what I researched so far, it seems that Adobe removed the H264 Codec from After Effects but not sure about Premiere Pro.

Did you checked and see if you have installed QuickTime Player or K Lite Codec Pack?

MKV for some reason never worked for me in Sony Vegas and had to…

Sorry for the late reply, its crazy I have Vegas Pro 13 in specific still so I was able to install it. It appeared to me this way as shown in the screenshot after I installed it. Is it the same case for you? Hope to hear from you soon.

Ohh I see so in other words, while you are rendering a video in Vegas Pro, it just does not show the preview so you can see the progress on how its rendering right? Yeah it could be as you say that hardware limitation from the computer you are currently using to render the video. Once you upgrade it, it should be working again.

So the first word is unable to center itself you say? If thats the case, try this: in order to center a text layer and keep the first word in its initial position, you can use a trick with an invisible text layer. Here is how it would work:

2. Go to the “Animations” tab and click on the stopwatch icon to…

Hello Ben! Hope you are doing fine. So one way that you can modify the expression to mark the words to be highlighted with “__” (two characters) instead of “=” (only one character) would be to use the following logic:

2. Split the source text string into an array of individual words.

Yeah that is pretty strange since I also record screen footages using OBS, I even then convert my OBS MKV files to MP4 to be compatible with Vegas PRO.

// Get the current comp’s render settings

Hey Sergio! It sounds like you have a text layer with the full string “40% Off” and you want to split it into three separate layers with the words “40”, “%”, and “Off” in the same order and time as the guide layer. To do this, you can use the following expressions:
