I havent seen any rates for news stringers I'm thinking i will get my new a1 and change my rates per story what do you all think would be a good rate for news footage per station per story.

Hi Everyone, Been using Vegas for a few eeks now and managed to complete two short projects, they both came out great. Since one of my other goals is to be able to integrate a 24 track studio into my current operation, I was wondering if Vegas could actually pull that off, or should I be...

Hi Guys, I am currently using Panasonic DV Master Mini DV Tapes, and I also need to order a cleaning tape (Panasonic only of course). Can anyone give me a good source on these items? (Price, speed of shipment, etc.) Thanks!

I have done a search for these subjects on the forum, but have found nothing. 1. I have some stills at the begginning of the time line lasting about 4 seconds each. When I go to the transition tab, and choose one, I cannot drag and drop it to the event, it immediately turns into the "NO"...

Hello all (again) During a capture session, I got a message that Media Manager failed to start, anyone know what causes this?

I would like to hear any and all comments from whomever would like to on this film. Just about two years old now, Directed by Darren Oronofsky, starring jared Leto, Ellen Burstyn, Jennifer Connelly and one of the Wayans brothers ( cannot remember his first name). Initially, this blew me away...

Tried this in another section first which looks like no one ever goes. I know if I use someone elses music in my documentary, I need to get a SYNC license signed. But what about in general? Is it that important that everyone on film signs a release? Especially need direction and help for...

I know if I use someone elses music in my documentary, I need to get a SYNC license signed. But what about in general? Is it that important that everyone on film signs a release? What and where can I find some "canned" releases that will do the job, possibly with a little editing in Word?

Tonight I was shooting interviews for the documentary I am working on, and I decided it would be a nice look to have the person holding the mic. Naturally I switched the 48V switch to ON for channel 2, etc, but it did not power up the mic. I had to run it through my mixer, then to the input on...

As I have not yet received Vegas, nor, Barry's book yet, I have a question about getting the film look, without using 24p. The software is shipping with Magic Bullet. If my end goal is to have a film look, and be able to go to film out if the project calls for it, is it possible or practical...

In one of my earlier posts I asked more than one question, so I never got an answer to the second one. ( I tend to be long winded anyway, sorry) Using Vegas 6 - which external DVD burner should I buy, as I said I am running on a 2.2 P4 Dell C840 laptop. I have plenty of USB ports, but only...

Ok, having listened, read, and researched, I am buying Vegas 6 + DVD package, and burning the four tons of Avid manuals. I have de-installed Avid, and everything else I won't need to clear my PC space, and I now have about 170GB free, on two physical drives. Now my question is: is there an...

Is there a way to set up one of my scene files on the DVX100a to shoot in Black & White? Have not heard much on this, and only having the manual to go by, not much information. I HAVE ordered barry Green's book, but it has not arrived yet. What is the standard to go by for this?

I have a recurring problem - shooting in 24P advanced, no matter what I record, either thru the panasonic shotgun mic mounted on the cam, or even when running seven mics thru a 24 channel board with he main outs going to the cam, and the correct channel assignments, only the left RCA out buzzes...
