Just wondering if my Nikon AF lens will need to be replaced. Thanks.

Greetings, I am in Los Angeles working on a project for a week and don't have my editing system with me, but I need to make a few changes to a feature film project and then render (full day process). Need Vegas 7, preferably on a fast machine. Willing to pay for usage of your system at your...

Need a DC Metro area Vegas Editor for PAID editing assignment. Must be proficient with color correcting and know what the scopes are for and how to use them. Audio proficiency would also be nice, but not a requirement. PM me if interested. Torry

I shot in letterbox mode and need a full resolution, uncompressed file, in 4:3 without the bars. Also need a full res, uncompressed 16x9 version. I did a search, but found nothing. Anyone know how I can do it easily? Thanks.

The letterbox in my footage is black in one of the clips and grey in the others? I didn't do any color correction on the clips, so I'm at a loss. Anyone. Anyone. Bueller?

I have actually two questions. First, how do you include a picture in your post. I did a search, but found nothing appropriate. And now, to my Vegas question: I would like to put one clip on top of the other. I shot one of the scenes with the wanted footage in the middle (see the picture...

Have some fooage shot in 16x9 and now need to add a 16x9 matte to footage shot in 4x3. I did a search for matte and 16x9 but nothing comes up. I definitely remember seeing this topic in the forum in the last year or two. :) In addition, I recall there being discussion about the 16x9 not...

Okay, I have a problem. Everytime I am in Vegas, it locks up on me and there is an error message on the title bar that says "Not Responding." Eventually, the CPU responds. I am running a Dell GPS P4 3.4mhz with two hard drives (160 and 400gigs). The problem just started today. I haven't...

Just wanted to get some feedback on my first ever music video. I shot with the 100a and edited on Vegas. Don't pay attention to my website...it's a work in progress, and unfortunately the compression on the video is not that great (I'm an amateur), but you get the idea...

I just finished editing my first project (music video).  Nope, not first project on Vegas, but first project ever.  Yay!!!  I have rendered it as a .avi and .wmv file and don't notice the difference.  My questions: What should I render as if I want to stream online?   What about if I want to...

I added a VideoFX to letterboxed footage and of course, the black bars have the effect over them. I have searched the threads and am still confused as to how to fix it. I tried following a post by John Hudson where he suggests using "regular transparent to black" (did he mean "rectangular...

I am new to Vegas and I am not quite sure what the specifics are regarding rendered file size. I rendered a 2 minute 57 second clip as an .avi file and it is 643mb. Is this correct? ??? If not, what did I do wrong? And if so, I need a much bigger hosting package.

Just had to give a shout out to the mack of all macks...Tommy Mack. I've read so much about Rush and EVS, yet when I called I was just as fortunate to get Tommy Mack on the phone to answer all of my questions. And while I asked about certain items, he never tried to push the more expensive...

I have captured some footage into Vegas and the clip is distorted with grey boxes in it. When I click on the clip it looks and plays fine in the "Print to Taoe" box in the Capture window. It still looks distorted in the media pool window and when I try to play in video preview it is still...
