[Ralph French] “I need an idea, a glimmer of hope – something.”
Here is your glimmer. You can go into pan crop and once there use the mask feature to mask out the area that your green screen did not cover.
For a how to you might drop by VASST.com and search for mask.
I think you can also figure it out by looking in Vegas help file for bezier mask.Regards, Rick.

Dale,
Take a look at this link. They have a free VST Limiter called the W1. It is designed to work much like the Waves L1 Limiter which is a great peak limiter. Install the dll file under
c:program filesvstplugins. After file is there you can open
vegas and select the add audio effects button on the master fader. Look under VST and add W1 to your effects. Now all you have to do is highlight ceiling and pull slider down to the max level that you want.Now let’s understand what is happening here. A peak limiter as the name suggest removes the peak levels from your audio.
Depending on your source material this can be a good thing or a bad thing. Some limiting can allow you to raise your average audio level without digital overs. To much limiting can suck the life right out of your audio and completely removes any dynamics that your recording had.The workflow that I would suggest for you is to use the peak limiter only to catch thoose stray peaks and up your overall level a bit. To do this, first adjust your mix so that the level is pretty close already to the peak level that you want. You can allow it to go over a bit. Now patch in the W1 Limiter and set it’s ceiling level to the maximum level you want.
Your done.Now to one of your questions regarding quality lose issues by moving your wav file between different programs and saving it a few times. As long as you keep it all as a wav and do not change your sample rate and bit depth you will loose practicly no quality.
I think you will like the peak limiter appraoch as long as you don’t get to aggressive with it.
Regards, Rick

Belinda,
I just did a simulation of what you are trying to do.
I had no problem.
The audio moved in sync with the video.
This was my workflow.1)My video and audio clip are on the timeline.
2)I went to the the explorer tab click and drag my veg
file that had video only onto the video track basically
dropping it on top of the existing video track.
The veg event is now in front of the existing event.
The existing video has moved down as well as the audio
with it.Ripple was turned on and the ignore event grouping button is
out.If this does not work for you then repost again with
a step by step description of your workflow.Regards, Rick.

Sounds like you have activated the “ignore event grouping” button. Make sure that it is not selected. You will find the ignore event grouping button pretty close to where your ripple button is.

[serwet] “if i stretch it up,i can see the whole scenes…but when i play it..it repeats after 15 minutes then it comes to start again and again…sound file is also repeating…what is the reason.”
By default if you stretch (drag) the clip beyond the end point
of the clip (event) it loops the clip. You can loop the clip
over and over and over. Which is what you did.Regards, Rick.

The DC10 is not a supported device for Vegas.
As the previous poster suggested you can capture
from your pinnacle software and then edit in Vegas.
Vegas mainly supports capture and realtime preview
via your firewire connection. For sources that do not
have a firewire port you can purchase a DV Converter from
DataVideo or Canopus (grassvalley). The converter will convert
your analog sources (ie 8MM, HI-8, VHS) to DV Firewire, so that you can capture them in Vegas.Regards, Rick.

If just playing around, it’s pretty good.
If comparing it to a pro music video, it does not tell the story well and it lacks style and atmosphere.
On the vocal performance side the end note pitch is
way off.Regards, Rick.

As you can see from Edward’s post it is very easy
to transcode your video clip. Once it has finished transcoding (rendering) remove the mpeg file from the timeline and drag the new DV version unto the timeline.
Then make sure that you select the “DV NTSC” Preset in your project settings (if in the US) “DV PAL” if across the pond.
Now you are ready to edit. DV will preview much smoother.Don’t worry about the Batch Render method I was talking about earlier. Edward’s method is better for your needs.
If you had a lot of clips to transcode their is a batch render script that can automate the task for you. But since you have only one large clip Edward’s way is the best.Let us know how it goes.
Regards, Rick.
