If you just need to burn the QT clip as data, best to use a burning program such as Nero, Record Now. Often a burning program will be included with a DVD burner,
What size is the file – will it fit onto a CD?

It’s Ctrl Alt D, not Ctrl Alt Delete!

Yes, good point Ted.
I use Logic and I have a fair selection of software samples, as well as an external sound module, and some sounds on my sound card aren’t too bad, so after importing a midi file I reallocate most instruments to one of my favourites, then play it out and record in Vegas or Sound Forge as audio.
As there are many free midi files out there put together by kind sharing souls, this can be a very effective way of getting round copyright problems, particularly with old classical pieces.

First, so you have the audio vol (loudspeaker) icon on your taskbar?
If not, Ctrl Panel / Sound & Audio Devices / Volume – check “Place volume icon in taskbar”
Now, double click the icon to open.
Choose Options / Properties / Recording
Here you will have the option to check which channels to enable.
If in doubt, select them all.
When you click OK, you will see all channels with a select box and sliders.
It may be trial and error, but one of these channels is playing your midi.
When the correct channel is enabled and the slider is up, this is a Windows setting, and Vegas will now register the audio in an enabled audio track.
The same procedure will enable your mic channel, from the other thread …

It depends on your sound card settings, and particularly your Windows audio record settings. Some cards have “What you hear” as an audio channel, others have line-in etc.
Anyway, once you’ve established which channel its playing through, an audio track in Vegas can be record enabled (check Preferences > Audio Device first), record started then start playing the midi file.

Although it can respond to a midi clock and generate midi timecode, Vegas does not deal with midi files.
You can play them in whatever you use for midi playback and record them as audio in Vegas.

Where did the video come from? If it was from a digital still camera the video is MJPEG which needs a codec such as Morgan (do a search) installed first.

Simply put, you shoot the host with a plain colour background, usually blue or green, then use the Chroma Key FX to make that colour transparent.
There are lots of finer points, such as separating the subject from the screen, lighting screen and subject separately, using back light etc, but the simplest way to experiment, is to shoot someone or something with clear blue sky behind them (if you have the climate!), then removing the blue.
The background that shows behind the subject is whatever you put on a lower track or tracks.

Whoops – thanks Ed, I was getting confused with my CD authoring program (Mediator) where it’s Ctrl/G for group.
