That’s an interesting turn on what I was thinking before. I’ll look into it further…

thanks again

Thanks for the input. And yes, the Quadro 3500 is on my list as well as 4GB RAM. I’m going to have to really sell them on spending the money on the system already, so I know a RAID will push it over the edge money-wise. That defintely will have to be a future item. Wish me luck!

Try the audio plugin “pitch shift”. On the left of your screen, in the track header, click the green icon to bring up the track effects window. Click the same green icon in the new window (upper right). Find “pitch shift” and click Add, the click OK. Now you’ll get an effects control window. Easiest thing to do from here is use the drop down box and select either “fifth up” or “third up”. Try them both to see which you like. Once you’ve decided, click the red X in upper right to close that window.

Do a search on cartoon effect. There’s been tons of questions and lots of methods suggested for getting the effect.

This tutorial should help with what you want to do.

Both answers stated in easy to understand terms. A follow up thought then, should I actually be in 32 bit? If I stay in 16 bit for final render .avi, will it be a problem bringing back into Vegas?

Thanks again for the explanations and help.

No one I know has ever been happy with YouTube for this very reason. You’d probably be better off posting elsewhere, perhaps on your own website where you have control of the situation.

Thanks Rick. I just realized I can generate a tone in AE.

Thanks again,

Thanks guys. I had tried that but now realize I wasn’t applying my effects at the right step. I think I have it now!
