Peter, I do not find that option anywhere, neither on the Options/general nor on Menu Page Properties/General.

Since you didn’t shoot it, you were limited by what they sent you. Perhaps you could have taken one of the shots of the girl finishing with arms raised high (if I remember correctly) or some other finishing moment of triumph, progressively slow-mo it, progressively zoom in on her face as far as you can during the slow mo, and perhaps add some effect such as Lens Flair. Finish freezing on her sweet face, fade to black. Perhaps you could have preceded this shot with a short montage of other moments of triumph, or else placed it after a particularly difficult match or demonstration.
Every story needs a beginning, middle and end. The longer the story, the more dips and rises and or subplots you need to sustain and nourish your audience. Sometimes the material lends itself to that easily. At other times, it’s a bit like trying to find a pearl in an oyster while not knowing which of the 10,000 oysters in front of you actually contains the pearl.

I’ll echo the comments about using copyrite music on the web. Big no-no. In addition to the other sources names, my favorite source for free music is: https://www.freeplaymusic.com/
As for the edit. Good start, no ending. Next time try getting down to the child’s level when you shoot. The view will be more dramatic. She’s fabulous and I’m sure her folks are just tickled pink with your piece.

Ed,
I looked there, couldn’t find it. But I did eventually find it hiding in my computer, so I’m up and running.

For a very little more, wouldn’t the JVC BRDV3000UB be a much better choice? From your description, you need the DV aspect, not the rest.

We shot the piece on the Sony 900. I’m not involved with post, so I can’t answer your question about that aspect. I keyed (Rembrandt Patch) with a studio 10K through a 4×4 opal and then into a 12 x 12 1/2 grid. Fill was a mighty-mole into beadboard w/ 1/4 O. We scrimmed that way down to keep a lot of ratio. The giant soft key wrapped beautifully, just reaching into the on-camera eye but sweetly caressing the face. We added a highly diffused soft scratch from the shadow side and from time to time a shoulder light. A line of Kino Flos (4x4s) suspended from speed rail lit the 20×20 green screen. We dolleyed back and forth from just over the shoulder of the director/interviewer to almost profile. For talking heads, pretty tasty.

According the to Magic Bullet guy, the program sends a signal to the card to get it working.
I gather that Vegas would NOT make use of this card.

Sorry, whould have specified that this was a general view on all Nvidia cards. The cheapest one mentioned was $129, and supposedly made dramatic improvements in viewing video as well as rendering Magic Bullet.

So how can one trick an older computer to render faster using Vegas 5?
