That sounds great. Work!

On the other hand, I am looking for a replacement for the lens on my S270.
Don’t ask! 🙁

Probably fodder for an off-line conversation. LOL!

Yes Mike. That’s the one.
I don’t think it broke any ‘rules’, did it?

And yes – gorgeous day here today. Can’t believe it’s still only early March.

Take a look at Singular Software’s Presto product.

OK .. that’s what I thought you needed.

Then the way to do that is as I described in my last post.

Use track motion to position the two windows as you want them.

Put cursor/playhead at point of impact on track one and optionally insert a marker so you can come back to it.

Now without moving the cursor, go to track two and drag that clip around until you match the point of impact.

Simple enough, no?

Steve,

Another way I can think of would be to:

1. place each clip on a separate track
2. use track motion on each track to size and position so that you can see both on preview monitor
3. place cursor/playhead at the select point on the first track and then drag the event on the second track until they line up.

Unless I’ve missed it, you haven’t said what you want to see in the final video – one or two windows. That may make a difference how you go about this.

Actually Vegas can do this – ‘sort of’!

When you are in multi-camera editing mode, if you place the cursor at a camera switch, hold down Ctrl+Alt and then drag you should see the two clips side-by-side in the preview window so you can adjust the timing of the cuts between cameras.

I think this is what the Op is looking for, but you need to be in multi-camera edit mode.

This trick also works if you place two clips on a single timeline, right click the t/l header, expand the track and then with Ctrl+Alt drag either the end of clip on Track A or the start of the clip on Track B, you’ll see the same effect.

Stephen,
Without ripple, how do you drag a track and a marker at the same time? Other than rendering out each clip with markers and then dragging those around.
Am I missing something in your description?
Thanks.

Ron,
Check out GenArts’ Sapphire Edge plug-in. Their Film Looks can come very close to what you’re looking for.

Tom,
Some time back, I was told by SONY to lower the error reporting level to see if Vegas will launch or not crash as often.

Go to your Vegas install folder and look for PRSConfig.exe (I assume it exists in 64bit).

Run it and lower the detection level. Mine, on 32bit XP, is set at FULL. Lower it to COMPATIBLE or DISABLED and see what happens. Don’t forget to set it back at some point.

Failing that, call support.
