[Rasmus Mauritsen] “Is there a way to do a voice-over directly to the timeline?”
Yes you can if your Edirol is listed under Options/Prefrences/Audio. Make sure that the Edirol is selected as your audio device for record and playback.
1) Plug in your mic to the edirol and turn up the
preamp gain control.2) Open your project and add a audio track to record to.
The shortcut is CNTRL+Q.3) Click on the “Record Button” on the transport control.
A dailouge box will open asking where you want to record
the file. Give it a file name and location.4) Audio is now ready to be recorded. Click the record button again and you are now recording. Press the stop button to stop.
You might also stop by VASST.com and do a search for Voiceover for a tutorial.

[John Gregoriades] “managed to do a decent job of reducing that noise using Nero Wave Editor, after figuring out how to use it. Then reinserted it on a new audio timeline with the movie and successfully rendered Video and new audio together. But I wonder if I could not have done something similar in Vegas?”
John, I am quite sure that Vegas audio toolset is every bit as capable as Nero Wave Editor. If you can tell mew what processing you did Nero, I can tell you how to replicate the process in Vegas.
If you have not found the audio tools in Vegas yet you simply click on the audio effects button for the track you would like to work on. The button is green and is on the left side of your waveform. By default there are three tools that will come up, eq, compressor, and noisegate. You can of course assign other processors.

Hi Gav,
Welcome to the Vegas editing community.
[Gav Bott] “My question is – what box / monitor do I need to run Vegas comfortably?”
Since Vegas uses your host computer for it’s processing power
the faster your computer the better performance you will get out of Vegas. Since you are going to be editing some HDV I would suggest at least a fast dual core rig. Of course the faster the better. No need to spend big bucks on graphics card since it does not speed things up at all.
You might also take a look at Blackmagic Designs. They make some great high end cards for Componet,SDI, and HDMI inputs if you need that type of thing.Also pack a good deal of RAM on your system. 2 gig minimum.
Regards, Rick.

Make the speed changes (there is a couple of methods).
Once you have made your speed changes you must
render your timeline. The file rendered from the timeline will retain your speed changes.For some good tutorials stop by http://www.Jetdv.com
and download the tutorials from the Newsletter Archive.Regards, Rick.

Sounds like it’s time to consult Sony Tech Support.
I’ve never heard of this happening.Regards, Rick.

[Lance Placey] “I have an ATI All-in-wonder card ( ATI RAGE PRO chipset ) and a Soundmax sound card.”
Are you using the audio inputs on the ATI Capture card for the audio capture portion or are you using the soundcard inputs? If using the soundcard inputs you may have a sample rate issue or more than likely the sync clock for your video card on your ATI is out of sync with your audiocard’s clock.
If using the audio inputs on the ATI card I would think audio would stay in sync with the video.
You could also check the sample rate of your captured avi clip by right clicking and choose properties. Take note of the sample rate and then set your Vegas Properties settings to match.

You can reduce the preview quality to Draft/Auto which will give you a better framerate.

If your source clips are 640X480 you could use the Pan/Crop Tool to fill the entire screen. Set your project settings for NTSC DV Preset. Render your MPEG file as NTSC-DV Preset and your good to go.

So you don’t want a standard DVD?

[Sebastian Alvarez] “I haven’t still read all the section in the manual about audio filters or effects, but for what I can tell”
You have made some assumptions without really reading hte manual and understanding the Vegas way. You are trying to run it like Final Cut or Premiere. All this will do is frustrate you.
Many of the audio filters can be automated in Vegas using keyframes. This allows you to bring effect in and out.
That is non-destructive. You can also highlight a section of the waveform and send that section out to an audio editor as a copy, make changes and then save it. Vegas then updates the timeline with your updated as a take. If you don’t like the new version, highlight the event and hit the t key and you are now back to the original version.I would recommend picking up some of the training materials
for Vegas at VASST.com. You can come up to speed quickly
with their DVD’s and books.Regards, Rick.
