I have tried everything that was done in that video, and doesn’t work. The colors sure must have to be very very bright and vivid to work, because I have tried several versions of different tutorials on how to do this and nothing goes. I click on red flowers held by bridesmaid, and it picks up a very very small amount of the flowers. I didn’t get this to work last year either.

Put the transparent scrolling text track above your video track, and it should work fine.

Did you use the scrolling credits with the alpha background or solid.

Yea, I noticed that did it. I also posted on Sony website, and someone told me to do tools/scripting/rescan script menu, and that did it also without having to shutdown.
Thanks John -
Did you buy the Lite version or Expert version. John said that he bought th Expert version, but have never had the need to use the extra features. Still can’t figure what’s wrong with my New Deshaker for Vegas.

The New Deshaker for Vegas 8 Pro also plugsin to Vegas, like Mercalli.
In your opinion, is Mercalli worth the money, and does it actually do a good job? I seem to have heard more positve comments on Deshaker, than I have Mercalli. As for the codec problem, any suggestions? Where are the codecs stored in Vegas, and can I copy a codec from Adobe, and it work in Vegas. If I have to reload Vegas 6, will it affect any files that are currently being used by Vegas. Is there a place on the internet that I can downoad those codecs?
Thanks John -
Main Concept AVC/AAC (MP4) Shows no template
Sony AVC/AAC (MP4) Shows no template either
And there are no Mpeg 2 choices at all. Also John, did you see my post on New Deshaker fo Vegas 8 Pro? If not please take a look at and see if you maybe have an answer for that also. Thanks alot! -
Yes, I have Architect installed, but use Encore CS3 and my authoring tool.

Ed,
Anything is possible. I wasn’t refering that Excalibur was messing up, because it probably was me. I just don’t know where and how, but it is possible. I can render to mpeg2 in Vegas, but want to use Adobe Encore CS3 for the authoring. Can I still use a DVDA preset to do just the video? Then what do I do about the audio? Do I go back into Vegas and just render the audio to a WAV file from Vegas? Do you have any opinions why the video is stuttery and not very good? I never ever had this problem with Vegas 6D version, and not the camera, because it was a DVX100B & GL2. I am now using V8 Pro.
I just checked Vegas: Do I save the video to –
DVD NTSC Video Stream
Audio: None Video:29.97fps 720×480
Says; Use this setting to create an NTSC
or
DVD Architect NTSC Video Stream
Audio: None Video: 29.97fps 720×480
Say: Use this setting to create an NTSC
Because I am going to us Encore CS3 for the authoring!
And which wav file setting would you choose, Scott Studios, or Microsoft?
Thanks for all your help guys, I do appreciate it, and I am not out of the woods yet. -
This is how I started out. I put two wedding files on the timeline and tried to line them up, so I could use the multicam option. I had a very hard time syncing the two, because somehow both cameras had been paused at the the beginning of the wedding. I finally thought that I had them lined up, but futher down the timeline about 30 minutes or so, the two became slightly out of sync, because I had an echoeing effect. I did some messing around and thought that I had it pretty close and used the multicam in Vegas. Didn’t really like just the cuts, so I decided that I like Excalibur better, because I had the option of disolves instead of just cuts. Set all my marker, and used multicam buton. I played it back and all of a sudden noticed that after the groomsmen came in and stood there, a minute or two went by, and then all of a sudden the groomsmen came in for a second time. Finally found out that somehow on the master track, that section of the clip had been inserted twice when multicam did its thing. So I took the extra insertion out of the master track, and it seemed to solve the problem. Everything seemed to look pretty good, so I burnt it to a dvd. When I played it back on the tv, the quality was not very good, I had never had this problem with quality when using version 6 of Vegas. When the camera panned the bridal party going down the isle, the background was very stuttery and jerky. So started over again. Got everything ok, so it seemed. I rendered the file in Vegas to Mpeg2 format. I took that file, and opened it in Adobe Soundbooth to clean-up the audio, and save it, and was re-rendered as a mpeg2 again in Soundbooth. Burnt to dvd, and played back on tv. Still bad quality, but this time there where sudden bursts of red (just for a flash-quick, enough to notice) on the screen. I seen this happen about 3 different times within a 5 minute run of the video. Now after all this frustration I am trying a different way, by putting both files on their track, cutting up what I don’t need, lining up what left by syncing track 1 & 2, and pulling together the pieces into crossfades, and using a composite envelope on track 1, so I can fade from track to track, and see if that works. I’ve been at this 2 weeks already and only this far. Very sad, isn’t it?
