It seems that it’s impossible to predetermine what YouTube will do to a project when they “process” you video [I.E., re-encode].
I would upload some proof videos for a client to review, and the same basic videos would sometimes be offered in 1080p and sometimes only in 720p.
You just send your best quality video to You Tube and hope for the best.

I recall seeing a Photoshop tutorial where you make a new background layer and use the clone-stamp tool to “erase” the foreground person. The “content aware” filters in CS5 would make this even easier. I use Sony Vegas and I could easily make the two layers move separate from each other. You could also do it in AfterEffects.

John, I have a client (yes, he is an idiot) who won’t take *anything* but h.264 in a mov file. I downloaded and installed the Avid DNxHD codec, but it doesn’t show in my render-as menus. What am I looking for?
Thanks

I think I am repeating myself.
Low Memory or Out of Memory does not mean “Not enough RAM”, though adding RAM can sometimes fix a “Low Memory” waning. A “Low Memory” warning usually means that you have exceeded your commit limit. You need either a bigger page file, more physical memory, or both.
The most important thing to realize is that physical memory and the page file added together equal the commit limit, which is the total amount of virtual memory that all processes can reserve and commit.
Paging file configuration is in the System properties, which you can get to by typing “sysdm.cpl” into the Run dialog, clicking on the Advanced tab, clicking on the Performance Options button, clicking on the Advanced tab (this is really advanced), and then clicking on the Change button. I would suggest a value of 1.5X the currently allocated value. Windows supports up to 16 paging files, where each must be on a separate volume, so if you have more than one internal disk drive you could also try enabling a Paging File on your second hard-disk.

I’ve been using DVDA for- what seems like -ever, and I wasn’t even aware that ISO was an option until I read your question.
First, from your description, it sounds like you are trying to play an ISO image, which won’t work.
Second, why don’t you just use DVDA to burn the DVD?Steve Mann

It’s always good to put your scratch *and* temp folders on a drive not your boot disk. Windows and lots of applications use the temp folder, which is the major contributor to fragmentation.
To change the temp folder location, click on ‘System’ in Control Panel. Click the ‘Advanced’ tab, and then click ‘Environment Variables’. In the User variables for user-name box, click TMP. Click the Edit button, and then enter the new data in the Variable Value box. In the System variables, find the TMP and TEMP variables and change them to your new location.

Everything after “access violation” is of value only to the original programmer, and then only in controlled conditions.
We have all seen access violations occur since we took ownership of our first x86 PC’s. The infamous “Bluescreen”, application crashes, it doesn’t really matter, access violations are all over the place. For any of you that remember the good old Windows 9x days, a General Protection Fault and Invalid Page Fault are basically the same thing (and a segmentation fault too). To many people, the phrase ‘access violation’ is synonymous with “crash”. But what exactly is an access violation?
To put it simply, an access violation occurs any time an area of memory is accessed that the program doesn’t have permission to access. This can be due to bad code, faulty RAM or even a bad device driver. It really doesn’t matter who the culprit is, the root issue is the same.
The free program: Prime95, available at https://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=103 will torture test your PC. If you have bad RAM or a heat sensitive component, this program will find it. While you may not be overclocking, Vegas is very processor intensive – more than Premiere. If you have a PC on the edge of stability, Prime95 will push your PC hard. If you can run Prime95 for an hour, then your PC is probably not the problem.
If you have a problem driver, I recommend running Driver Detective from https://www.drivershq.com/ (Actually a good plan is to run Driver Detective periodically. I doesn’t do anything to your installed drivers unless you tell it to.)

Admittedly, I don’t use Camtasia (yet).
Your system probably has much more experimental projects on it than I ever will, so it’s not unlikely that you may have installed dll’s along the way that don’t play together nicely.Steve Mann
