Does anyone know if Vegas will be able read the AVC-Intra files from Panny’s new 3000 camera? I know… but I thought I would ask.

Cool white lamps are about 3400k
I find it best to use Rosco 3314 gels – 1/4 Minusgreen
As the name implies it reduces the green wavelengths in cool white lamps. The gels are magenta in color -
I use PNG-24 -(that includes an alpha channel) for all stills in Vegas. I few years ago I read a Vegas software engineer talking about formats and he said ‘Vegas loves PNGs’ So that’s the format I use.

a. The Flash Player plug-in to all browsers looks for a SWF file – it won’t play flv (video files) directly.
The SWF of our concern is the video player which points to the flv to play. This is true even if the video player is without controls and simply autostarts playing when the page loads. Actually, there’s a third file, written by Adobe – it’s a javascript that checks for Flash 8 and above and sends the viewer a link to get it and scripting to keep Internet Explorer from freaking out at the ‘action script.’b. I set encoding at around 400 for dsl and above with maximun quality. I let Vegas do the scaling to fit a custom player I designed and then tell On2 to use same size and frame rate as source. On2 gives you a bunch of players to choose from – you’ll want to scale to fit those or let On2 scale if you render full frame as AVI or MOV files.
In Vegas, I find it best to add sharpening, contrast, and a bit of saturation for the best looking web video.

They do have a comparison chart of versions.
You want Flix Pro – does alpha channel as well -
I encode to Flash 8 video all the time.
You’re best bet is to go with On2. Forget Sorensen – it’s junk – basically Flash 7 – crummy picture and larger file sizes.
Adobe uses the On2 codec for Flash Video. But On2 allows for a two-pass variable rate which is what the porn sites are using.
The nice thing is the price – On2 encoder is half the price of Adobe Flash

Well, my friend, you have to tell each title if it is widescreen or 4×3 in relation to your project settings.

You need to turn on your ‘safe area’ markers in preview and create titles within that area and with enough border around them to look professional

Two things to remember:
The Intro only plays at start up – the viewer cannot get back to it from the menu.
Unlike a motion menu – the intro has synced sound! Think of it as just a separate stand-alone movie leading into the root menu page.
