1. Duplicate Track, which will have track keyframes.
2. Create New Video Track above
3. Select first title and right click > Select evnts to end
4. Ctrl – Drag all titles up to new track and choose Create New option rather than reference
5. Delete all titles from the Duplicated track, leaving just the track keyframes
(IMPORTANT – first make sure that Options > Lock Envelopes to Events is disabled, otherwise the track keyframes will disappear)6. Select all in the new track and drag them down or hit Numerical 2.

In the Track Header right click and insert Envelope > Composite level.
This gives you a Track level opacity control – double click to insert pivot points and you can ramp opacity up or down at will, just as you might with audio volume or stereo panning.

There are several ways of going about this.
I use a single track, and lift all the events to the timeline together.
That should be finished, but when I click on Tools / Lay Out Audio CD from Events, it creates one track including them all. I hope this will be fixed in V6.
So I zoom in, use the ] key to quickly go through the wav file events and drag and separate them by a minimal spice. Now, clicking again on Lay Out Audio CD from Events I get the same number of tracks as Events, and I burn.

Vegas DV capture is a data copy from DV camera to Hard Drive, so it automatically receives at the same quality as was shot.
Some of the previous generation cards captured or digitised through analogue connections, into MJPEG video and you could set the capture quality before starting.

Yes, it definitely works with a blank tape – I ran a check before responding!

Yes, as long as you turn “Scene Detection” off in Capture prefs.
If this is ON, it will split capture into separate scenes each time the camera was stopped/started, assuming the camera clock had been set.

> ” If you stick a blank DV tape in the camera, you must be on manual mode anyway. ”
Edward – I generally use device control for PTT, and it works fine, even with a blank tape.

Yes – to capture via a pass through device such as a DV cam or A-V converter, you need to turn Device Control off in Capture prefs, otherwise Vegas will be looking for a DV tape to control.

Thinking laterally – it sounds as if the drive you’re capturing to is formatted FAT32 which is causing the files to be split when it hits a max file size limit. Reformatting to NTFS will remove this restriction.
Also, I don’t know DV Gate, but is there a reason you’re using this rather than Vegas to capture?

I don’t think Hi Def DVD has arrived yet – probably the main difference is 16:9 and 4:3, so here’s one approach.
Shoot in 16:9 mode and output a Widescreen NTSC DVD, That’s for Japan.
(The Sony Z1 cameras will shoot in true 16:9, either in HDV format or DV. If in HDV you’ll need the Cineform software to capture and create the intermediate avi for editing, unless of course Vegas 6 changes this situation.)Now this same DVD will play on almost all PAL DVD Players, and if they have 4:3 TVs it will be letterboxed, so the same DVD could possibly be used for both markets.
If you want to output a separate 4:3 version, this can be done by cropping the 16:9 in Vegas, then outputting to a Standard PAL DVD project.
[If you go the other way and shoot DV 4:3, cropping a 16:9 out of this will involve a loss of quality.]
