To be honest I don’t know what I need, I’m totally new to this. I thought I needed mocha to get the tracking data?? Your saying I can use the Match Move to accomplish 3d text motion tracking all within Vegas?

How do I do that?

Thanks

Thanks alot John,

I have all that set up now. Can you give me some advice on the best way to track text. I have watched a tut about drawing the large box around the spot you want to track and then putting the other area inside(corner pin?). I followed that, but when I got back to vegas the “tracking file” was not matching with the source footage. This is my 1st time attempting this so I’m probably not doing it correctly.

I have some footage of a small waterfall, the camera pans. I want to place some text(from generated media?) in area where the water fall is. I also want to use 3d source alpha so I can use the videos track track motion to alter the text to be inline with the waterfall.

I have been wanting to learn how to do this for a while now, any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the response Mike. Do you happen to know much about the product? I was checking the website and saw that the suite is like 700$ Do you have to get the whole suite or can you get just looks or I am confused 🙂

I really just want to be able to generate different CC’s

Also are you using Magic bullet Looks 2 or 1? If you using version 1 is version 2 supported?

[Tim Smith]

I’m pretty sure. I am using all the same settings. And when viewing the clip properties everything seems to match.

The files are originally .m2ts

I render using MainConcept AVC/AAC .mp4(both times)

[Tim Smith]

Well found a workaround(I guess). If I highlight everything in the project by dragging the cursor above the timeline, which makes a loop region?, and then render like that the audio comes out fine :/

Using the same Sony AVC(.mp4,.m2ts adn .avc) and rendering to .mp4 instead of .m2ts I do not have to do the hightlight for the audio to come out.

Whats even more strange, on my old XP box, I do not have to highlight anything for the .m2ts render audio to come out.

Very strange

Shawn,

It is checked

[Tim Smith]

Daniel,

No they are not muted. When play it from Vegas the sound is fine. When I render it as mp4 the sound is fine

[Tim Smith]

Thanks for the reply John, I am importing m2ts files.

One note about render time, much faster!!! Before 3+ hours now 20min 🙂

Well I have my new system and was wondering about the performance. Its 95% good BUT still just a little laggy(worse in some spots). Is this expected? Task manger shows CPU running about 20% with spikes up to 30% while video is playing. I was expecting zero lag.

Thoughts?
