I didn’t realise you could do that 🙂

Are you using Vegas’ multi-cam feature? Sounds like you are trying to do a multi-cam edit. Which Vegas version are you using?

In answer to your original question, if you just want to cut one event, highlight the event, and then cut. If you want to cut through all tracks at once, click on the blank space beneath the lower most track, and then cut.

I think the question relates to licencing. I think Steve Skipwith is suggesting sharing a licence i.e. one of them uses the 32-bit version of Vegas, whilst the other uses the 64-bit version of the same licence. Unfortunately, this sharing is not permitted as the user with the 64-bit OS could technically still install both.

In short, each editor needs to acquire a licence in their own right, THEN they can share veg files/projects as suggested.

I can’t wait as well. I do a lot of photo montages manually. This will be a huge time saver.

If you need a beta tester … .

I was wondering about that. He doesn’t even show up in the Hall of Fame. Perhaps it is a historical cumulative total of posts to this Sony Vegas forum only, but not enough to make the overall hall of fame… .

I’ll check my setup tonight and post tonight (12 hours from now). Typically when producing for Blu-ray, I render to an HDV intermediary from Vegas e.g. HDV 1080/50i so I can use DVD Architect to create both a DVD or Blu-ray disc. One of my clients wanted both. This does mean DVDA has to do the heavy down conversion to DVD and I don’t think DVDA is a multithreaded application in the true sense. When looking at task manager, only 1 core is getting a workout whilst the others are idle. I would have last done this on DVDA 5.0 successfully, and it takes about 12 hours to author a 4 hour blu-ray disc using this method.

Just out of curiousity, have you tried using DVDA 5.0? See if it gets around this problem.

FYI, you can have both Versions installed.

You might want to try creating an ISO using a much smaller file so you can prove the process actually works before increasing the content.

Is your prepare folder pointing to a drive that is getting full?

That’s a pretty grunty system you have there. Sounds like you are looking at the i7 970 CPU. Good choice for video, and one that I am thinking of upgrading to shortly.

On my i7 920 system (see my profile below) I am able to simultaneously render two (HDV to DVD) 2-pass variable bit rate projects (90 minutes each), before the system becomes noticeably sluggish. In terms of render times, it makes little difference whether I am rendering just the single project or both at once. I render both projects to PAL DVD WS in about 2 hours.

It’s been a while since I did Blu-ray, but I think the render times were pushed out only another 30 minutes or so. I found the greatest slow down occurs when there is a lot of colour correction, titles, transitions and effects applied.

You might want to consider adding an Nvidia GT580 video card as Vegas takes advantage of the 512 CUDA cores. That’s also on my shopping list for June!

You might also want to check out the Intel Generation 2 i7 2600K CPU’s, but that means using an LGA 1155 motherboard. They have Integrated graphics, which when combined with an Nvidia card, banish the preview lags (or until Sony releases another AVCHD format :-)).The current i7 series uses an LGA 1366 motherboard, so you will need to decide up front what you want.

Having an SSD will improve your system boot and program load time times.

Douglas, that will work if everything has a regular beat. Some modern music is, well, modern, so some matching by hand may be necessary.

But good tip.

Roger, are you using Infiniti-cam?
