I rendered out a file twice in Vegas using both the 2 Blu-ray templates for 10 Mbps & 16 Mbps. I had always been told that file size was directly proportional to the bit rate yet the 2 files at virtually the same size. Why would this be so?

The only profile options listed with the = sign as matching my input are those but I see that I could have outputted it using the 24P profile as well & since this is what its ultimately going to end up should I be using this profile for use in DVDA?

Thanks in advance

Do the specs allow for having more than one format, frame size resolution etc all on one Blu-ray disk?

The reason that I ask is that every so often I have produced standard DVD’s of the grand-kids as they grow up & I then update these to include the latest events. Now that I’m shooting in HD it seems a shame if I had to have the older SD & newer HD on 2 separate disks especially if the Blu-ray disk has the capacity to store everything on one.

Thanks in advance

It’s when I click the click Make Blu-ray disk that it take you to the next screen that gives you the options of prepare or burn. Both choices have the options greyed out & I can go no further.

Thanks in advance

I was trying to delete some of the standard templates since I will never use them & I was thinking it would be nice to have less clutter.

Thanks in advance

I recently tried a long way round to get my latest download of clips from the camera so that I could have meaningful names for each clip. By meaningful I mean names that reflect where the shots were taken.

I have a Sony camera that comes with a program called PMB which isn’t much use except for one thing. The program lets you preview all of your work & do some preliminary preparation.

As I look at each clip I can keep it as is or if I don’t like anything in the clip I delete it then & there. Sometimes I find that longer clips only have a portion that I would want to keep. The program allows for a new trimmed copy of original. I can also easily save screen shots for possible usage in the same project.

As for renaming the clips the program only allows for doing one at a time which is hopelessly slow & never done.

Once I have reviewed everything both Video & JPEG’s I imported the file into Adobe Photoshop Elements. I knew that this would create thumbnails for the video clips as well as the stills.

I can then select a range of thumbnails of either video or JPEG’s Or a combination of both & then do a multi rename. Once the video files are renamed I delete the video clips from the Photoshop Elements catalog.

I found that this was a much easier way to find clips that I wanted to use in Vegas since the clips all have descriptions. This approach helped when starting a project about our last holiday which visited many places. I can’t imaging doing the same thing if I was just updating files of the grand kids.

Thanks in advance

I’ve done it. It works just fine.

Thanks in advance

I’m getting old I didn’t actually mean a velocity envelope but rather something that would achieve the same result with stills. In other words change the duration for all stills on the timeline, all at one rather than one at a time.

Thanks in advance

[Paul Gregory]

If it were a true ‘replace function’ it would be doing it from the timeline not from PM & it would as you say relace the attributes as well.

Thanks in advance

[Paul Gregory]

But can’t I just turn it on & have ‘on’ as my default?

Thanks in advance

Does the fact that Version 12 is coming mean that there will be no more patches for 11?

Thanks in advance
