Yep – the use count column. If you click on the column heading as well then it will sort the list by use count – so you can quickly see all the unused (or used) clips.

Sounds a lot like one of my cameras John – and I’ve never managed to get the Vegas capture tool to work with it. Instead I use a separate capture application (VirtualDub) and capture using the Lagarith codec which seems to give a reasonable file size and quality.
My setup has a blackmagic intensity card though and I use the S-Video output from the camera and the phono for the audio.
Hope that helps!

I had similar fun with that codec and 64-bit windows. I can’t remember now what I ended up doing to be able to use the clips I’d encoded previously so that’s probably not much help!
However I did switch over to using Lagarith and I’ve had no problems at all with the 64-bit versions of virtualDub and Vegas using that.

That’s fantastic John, thanks!
However it would have been even better a few days ago when I was playing around trying to achieve this sort of effect myself!!
I got there in the end using the generated media as the displacement map so I’ll go back and play with using the video track and height map as well now and see which I prefer 🙂

Just to add to this – I use an old Hi-8 Sony camera that I’ve put into service for filming underwater at the moment. I’ve got a low-cost BlackMagic Intensity Pro capture card that has the RCA audio and composite connectors on as well as an S-Video input that I use.
Vegas doesn’t (I believe) supporting capturing directly using this so I use a free application called Virtual Dub just to grab either uncompressed or Lagarith encoded AVIs which I then import into Vegas and edit as required.
I haven’t compared this method with the Canopus options, but the quality is fine for my purposes!
