Several hours in length? Really? I’d have likely chopped up the author, let alone the show, if they had run that long. You must have us confused with someone else. We are far lazier than that, Richard. ?

Bob, I respect your opinion and like you, I much prefer real drums — especially from a drummer like Jeff Cannata who can play like Michael Giles of King Crimson. But Jeff wanted to make a song with this sound and so he did.
Jeff and his friends have done some great recordings over the years and this is the only one that falls in this category.
I appreciate your feedback, Bob.

When Tim says, “Coming soon,” that means it is the very next thing on the development drawing board to be undertaken, Kalleheikki. This is a TOP priority and we hope to have it at your disposal shortly.
I cannot believe this function is not part of WordPress but it isn’t. Sigh. But we want you to know we are well aware of the issue and we can get it done, so it is the very next task we will be addressing.
Thank you for being a part of the COW.

Some people cry out for the blocker. I am likely much more blunt than you but I do try to not act like a six-year-old with an attitude problem. Bye…

That’s funny, James, I got called yesterday with apologies for your overstating of things and stating that the last thing Magix wanted was for us to turn off the VEGAS Pro forum here. You might want to dial it back a few decibels.
Best regards,

If they don’t feel this nearly 20-year Vegas community is important enough to bother supporting their own customers in, James, that is quite a statement about the way they see themselves, their customers, and the people who have supported Vegas for nearly 20 years as Creative COW and additional years when we ran the old WWUG site, where Sonic Foundry used us for their official support.

Hi Brian,
The way that Power Station did it would require a lot more work and a combination of effects but a good down and dirty way to begin playing with ideas is to use Posterize Color (if I remember correctly) to choke down the number of colors in a frame to get some interesting effects. After Effects is great at this kind of thing, especially when laying the same layer on top of itself and then playing with “blend modes” to add effects to layers and seeing how they combine to produce some cool ideas.
Experiment and have fun,

The problem with MPEG2 is that it takes real mastery to balance the bitrate with the step down from MPEG4 to MPEG2 and end up with anything that looks decent. I have been out of commission very ill for a number of years but I don’t think the process has gotten any easier when controlling MPEG2. It was a terrible codec and bit many a mortal, only the gods of MPEG were ever able to get a good image (not great, just barely good enough in my opinion) when using MPEG2.
As I said in my opener, I’d find another partner, one who uses cutting edge technology and not something from the 20th Century. Who do they think they are, Creative COW?

It’s good to be back, as well, Frederic. I was involuntarily absent myself for better part of a decade. So, like you, it’s good to be back.
I’m glad to see you popping in again. You are always welcome, Frederic, and it is an honor to have you here. I hope life has been treating you kindly, even in 2020.
The best to you always,
Ron Lindeboom

No offense but your group needs to find a new company to submit to. MPEG2 has not been a standard for many years now and signal degradation is unavoidable with MPEG2 and is why it was abandoned. The current standard is MPEG4 and your work and the quality of your cameras will be showcased with it.
