  • Hi,
    There are softwares that will interpolate frames, some software is intended for that function other can be used to to get the job done even though not intended to do so. None are free software. The simplest solution would be to fill the empty space by splicing in a previous or subsequent frame.

    Hi, Don’t hold down the Cltrl key while dragging.

  • Yes Quicktime Pro is needed. There is no loss whatsoever because quicktime only reads the file and sends out one frame at a time. Basically it is frameserving. Below is a link to a quick video to show the procedure. If you have further questions, please ask.

    Yes it will degrade the quality. Lets count the number of times the file has been encoded so far.
    1) Was the original file captured via tape, if so it needed to be ingested.
    2) The file was edited and rendered.
    3) Uploaded to Vimeo where it was rendered again
    4) DVD makers added and rendered to MP2

    In short the DVD will be 2 – 3 heavy compression sessions from the original. Most certainly it will be squashed.
    Do try to get the original

  • As stated earlier use quicktime pro and save as hinted movie which should result in a mov file of 200kb or less. Now import the mov into Vegas and it will read the original file. Think of quicktime as a frame server.

    I use this method all the time with any version of Vegas. It does work.

    [Ron Whitaker] “I noticed the Download button”

    If you click the download button, a drop down menu should pop up offering download options. Choose the one with the highest bitrate preferably the original.

  • Hi,
    Actually if you have the Camtasia installed on the same machine as Vegas, you should be able to import the file into vegas. Should that fail to work, use Quicktime pro to open the Camtasia file and then save Quicktime as a Hinted Movie and Vegas will be able to read it without transcoding.

    Yup Grazzie may be correct suggesting chroma work. The exact method is unknown to me but there are other ways to achieve this effect. Although I don’t know why one chooses to do something like that for it distracts the viewer and takes them out of the experience.

    Any way, another method would use flash to create the composite. By leaving the fill color blank and carefully layering with composite modes such as add or subtract, cut screen, overlay, multiply and so on. Taking care to avoid other areas that also have the static background. If you export a swf from flash and wish to composite and finish in Vegas Be sure to to export a swf version five or six. I don’t recall which one vegas supports but to be certain all shapes are exported in the swf export, it is advisable to export an image sequence with alpha support. In the case of Flash, png would be my choice. Been a long time since I used flash to create content for video editing. So I may not be exactly correct.

    Yup it is possible, permissions need to be applied and the can be password protected as to grant access to people with the password. Also the original file that was uploaded is available if they did not delete it.

    Hi, strange one would think Vegas incompetent as an audio mixer since it’s origins were derived from Sonic Foundry Acid. Perhaps the audio mixing console has been overlooked. It can be setup as a virtual mixer that emulates the real thing. An external hardware FX chain can introduced into the mix and the art of mixing can be employed exactly as a professional sound artist would do on a console. Depending on the sound card, a configuration can be constructed to rival any setup and number of tracks are limited to the host machine. Needing to use plugins to create a sounds cape is lazy editing and certainly not very artistic.
