Gary,

Does that mean Vegas 6 will render faster than 5 on the same computer?

September 8, 2005 at 8:50 pm in reply to: creating freeze frames “on the fly”

Hmm, in Vegas 5, which I’m using, this method doesn’t seem to work. What I’ve found works easily is:

–extend the shot the duration you want it to cover, including freeze
–add a velocity envelope
–add a point just before the freeze
–move over 1 frame and add another point; set speed to zero
–now everything on the right is frozen
–if you want to continue the moving image, at the end of the the area you want frozen, add a point
–move over 1 frame, add another point, set the speed to “normal”

August 25, 2005 at 4:55 pm in reply to: horizontal lines & quivering stills very annoying

I’ve found that even with a still, if the image contains fine lines I have to do all three of these to eliminate flickering:

–force resampling (right-click, select “properties”)
–reduce interlace flicker (same thing)
–insert a velocity envelope and set the speed to zero, forcing a still frame of a still frame.

August 24, 2005 at 5:20 pm in reply to: Removing wind noise.

I’ve found that fixing wind noise is next to impossible. Too many of the frequencies are mixed in with the voice. I’ve tried noise reduction and graphic eq and noise gate. The best I can do is slightly improve the sound, but not much. After that the voice gets very tinny.

Love to hear from someone who has figured out a way to do this.

A third method is a terrific color selector/corrector called Aav6cc. It’s a free plugin, but I don’t remember where I found it. Maybe someone else can chime in on this. It’s extremely precise.

Hmm…. tried that. (Using Vegas 5). After I select a group, then right click one of the group, “Properties” is grayed out.

Thanks, guys, I should have figured that one out myself — add a top track and use a mask.

July 16, 2005 at 8:59 pm in reply to: DVD Architect 2 – set end action for a chapter

Peter,

Thanks for the advice. Very clutzy way to do things. I find that it’s about impossible to get a clean play of just the chapter this way. So I’ve gone back to re-render each chapter separately, with about 2 secs of black on head and tail in order to get clean plays. Maybe version 3 is better. Hope so.
